A car is traveling at 50 mi/h when the brakes are fully applied, producing a constant deceleration of 38 ft/s2. what is the dist

Convert 38 ft/s^2 to mi/h^2. Then we se the conversion factor > 1 mile = 5280 feet and 1 hour = 3600 seconds.

So now we show it > 38  \frac{ft}{s^2}  x  \frac{1mi}{5280ft} x  \frac{(3600s)^2}{(1h)^2} = 93272.27  \frac{mi}{h^2}

Then we have to use the formula of constant acceleration to determine the distance traveled by the car before it ended up stopping.

Which the formula for constant acceleration would be > v_2^2=v_1^2 + 2as

The initial velocity is 50mi/h (v_1=50)

When it stops the final velocity is (v_2=0)

Since the given is deceleration it means the number we had gotten earlier would be a negative so a = -93272.27

Then we substitute the values in....

0^2 = 50^2 + 2(-93272.27)s

0 = 2500 - 186544.54s

Isolate S next.

185644.54s= 2500

s =  2500/(185644.54)

s=0.0134


So we can say the car stopped at 0.0134 miles before it came to a stop but to express the distance traveled in feet we need to use the conversion factor of 1 mile = 5280 feet in otherwards > 0.0134 mi *  \frac{5280ft}{1mi}  = 70.8 ft
So this means that the car traveled in feet 70.8 ft before it came to a stop.

AlekseyPX

Answer:

C. 110 m/s2

Explanation:

Force = Mass x Acceleration

Since we have the force and the mass, we can rearrange this equation to solve for acceleration by dividing both sides by mass:

Force/Mass = (Mass x Acceleration)/Mass

Acceleration = Force/Mass

Now we just have to plug in our values and calculate!

Acceleration = 48.4/0.44

Acceleration = 110m/s/s

It is option C. 110 m/s2

Hope this helped!
