Answer:
b. Friction decreased when he went from pavement to ice and then increased two more times.
Explanation:
Frictional force depends on the normal force of the surface and a friction coefficient.
Since we're talking about the same car, the value of will remain constant whereas μ will represent the change in the frictional coefficient of the surface. Now we consider the different surfaces, cars will slide in an icy road which means that the frictional coefficient is smaller than the pavement.
After Joshua returns to the pavement road, the resulting frictional force increases and will do so one more time when he reaches the gravel road. Gravel roads have greater frictional coefficients than pavement roads which means the frictional force will increase a second time.
Answer:
a) time taken to catch up with speeding car is 12.25 secs
b) the police car will travel 273.8 m to catch up with the speeding car
Explanation:
Given that;
speed of car = 50 mi/hr = 22.352 m/s
acceleration of police car = 10 mi/hr = 4.47 m/s²
= 70 mi/hr = 31.29 m/s
Now time taken to reach maximum speed is t₁
so
=
+ at₁
we substitute
31.29 = 0 + 4.47t₁
t₁ = 31.29 / 4.47
t₁ = 7 sec
now
d₁ = 0 + 1/2 × at₁²
d₁ = 0 + 1/2 × 0 + 4.47×(7)²
d₁ = 109.5 m
so distance travelled by the speeding car in time t₁ will be
=
× t₁
we substitute
= 22.352 × 7
= 156.46 m
now distance between polive car and speeding car
Δd = - d₁
Δd = 156.46 - 109.5
Δd = 46.96 m
time taken to cover Δd will be
t₂ = Δd / ( -
)
t₂ = 46.96 / ( 31.29 - 22.352 )
t₂ = 46.96 / 8.938
t₂ = 5.25 sec
distance travelled by the police in time t₂ will be
d₂ = × t₂
d₂ = 31.29 × 5.25
d₂ = 164.3 m
a) How long will it take before the officer catches up to the speeding car;
time taken to catch up with speeding car;
t = t₁ + t₂
t = 7 + 5.25
t = 12.25 secs
Therefore, time taken to catch up with speeding car is 12.25 secs
b) how far will it have travelled in order to do so;
distance = d₁ + d₂
distance = 109.5 + 164.3
distance = 273.8 m
Therefore, the police car will travel 273.8 m to catch up with the speeding car
