A car is cruising at a steady speed of 35 mph. Suddenly, a cuddly puppy runs out into the road. The driver takes 1.7 seconds to

react, and then slams on the brakes. The brakes slow the car down at constant acceleration for 4.0 seconds until the car stops. The puppy, unharmed, happily skips away. 1. What is the total distance traveled between when the driver rst sees the puppy to when the car stops

Answer:

The distance traveled is 0.037 mi

Explanation:

The equation for the position and velocity of an accelerated object is:

x = x0 + v0 * t + 1/2 * a * t²

v = v0 + a * t

where

x = position at time t

x0 = initial position

t = time

a = acceleration

v0 = initial velocity

If the velocity is constant, then a = 0 and the position will be:

x = x0 + v * t where "v" is the velocity

First, let´s find the distance traveled until the driver push the brake:

The speed is constant. Then:

x = x0 + v * t (considering the origin of the reference system to be located at the point at which the driver sees the puppy, x0 = 0)

x = 35 mi/h (1 h / 3600 s) * 1.7 s = 0.017 mi

Then, the drivers moves with constant acceleration until the car stops (v = 0)

From the equation for velocity:

v = v0 + a * t

Since v = 0, we can obtain the acceleration of the car until it stops. With that acceleration, we can calculate how much distance the car moves before it stops.

0 = v0 + a * t

-v0 / t = a

-35 mi/h (1 h / 3600s) / 4.0 s = a

a = -2.4 x 10⁻³ mi/s²

The distance traveled will be:

x = x0 + v0 * t + 1/2 * a * t²

Now x0 will be the distance traveled before the driver slows down.

x = 0.017 mi + 35 mi/h (1 h / 3600s) * 4 s + 1/2 * ( -2.4 x 10⁻³ mi/s²) * (4s)²

x = 0.037 mi

If you want to increase the gravitational force between two objects; would you rather double the mass of one object or halve the
Step2247 [10]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Force of gravity from Newtonian theory for which it is necessary to

F = \frac{GMm}{R^2}

Where,

G = Gravitational universal constant

M = Mass of Earth

m = mass of Object

x = Distance between center of mass of the objects.

From this equation we can observe that the Force is inversely proportional to the squared distance between the two objects. The greater the distance, the lower the force of gravity and vice versa.

F \propto \frac{1}{R^2}

If you want to increase the force of gravity, you need to reduce the distance of the two. Therefore the correct option is B. Talk to the distance between them.
