How do you calculate the braking distance

Physics
1 answer:
Anettt [7]3 years ago
6 0

The braking distance is given by s=\frac{-u^2}{2a}

Explanation:

When the driver of a car hits the pedal of the brakes, the car starts decelerating until it stops. Assuming the deceleration is constant, then the motion is a uniformly accelerated motion, so we can use the following suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2as

where

u is the initial speed of the car

v is the final speed of the car, which is zero because the car comes to rest:

v = 0

a is the acceleration of the car

s is the distance travelled by the car during the deceleration, so it is the braking distance

Therefore, re-arranging the equation for s, we find an expression for the braking distance:

s=\frac{-u^2}{2a}

Note that the sign of a is negative since the car is decelerating, therefore the final sign of s is positive.

What total mass must be converted into energy
Eduardwww [97]

This question apparently wants you to get comfortable
with  E = m c² .  But I must say, this question is a lame
way to do it.

c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
                                                    E = m c²

                           1.03 x 10⁻¹³ joule  =  (m) (3 x 10⁸ m/s)²

Divide each side by (3 x 10⁸ m/s)²:

                         Mass = (1.03 x 10⁻¹³ joule) / (9 x 10¹⁶ m²/s²)

                                   =  (1.03 / 9) x (10⁻¹³ ⁻ ¹⁶) (kg)

                                   =        1.144 x 10⁻³⁰  kg .    (choice-1)

This is roughly the mass of (1 and 1/4) electrons, so it seems
that it could never happen in nature.  The question is just an
exercise in arithmetic, and not a particularly interesting one.

The Braidwood Nuclear Power Generating Station in northeastern
Ilinois USA serves Chicago and northern Illinois with electricity.
<span>The station has two pressurized water reactors, which can generate
a net total of 2,242 megawatts at full capacity, making it the largest
nuclear plant in the state.
If the Braidwood plant were able to completely convert mass
to energy, how much mass would it need to convert in order
to provide the total electrical energy that it generates in a year,
operating at full capacity ?

Energy = (2,242 x 10⁶ joule/sec) x (86,400 sec/day) x (365 da/yr)

             =  (2,242 x 10⁶ x 86,400 x 365) joules

             =          7.0704 x 10¹⁶ joules .

How much converted mass is that ?

                                           E  =  m c²

Divide each side by  c² :    Mass  =  E / c² .
c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

              Mass = (7.0704 x 10¹⁶ joules) / (9 x 10¹⁶ m²/s²)

                        =        0.786 kilogram ! ! !

THAT should impress us !  If I've done the arithmetic correctly,
then roughly  (1 pound  11.7 ounces) of mass, if completely
converted to energy, would provide all the energy generated
by the largest nuclear power plant in Illinois, operating at max
capacity for a year !

Bumek [7]
The current will decrease as the resistance has now increased, meaning less current will be 'let through' the resistor. (assuming it's in series, there's no image)

How many joules of work are done on an object when a force of 10 N pushes it 5 m?
zhenek [66]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

given,                            

Force on the object = 10 N

distance of push = 5 m

Work done = ?              

we know,              

work done is equal to Force into displacement.

W = F . s            

W = 10 x 5              

W = 50 J                

Work done by the object when 10 N force is applied is equal to 50 J

Hence, the correct answer is option C

1. What type of wave is sound? Does sound need a medium (substance) to travel through?
denpristay [2]

Answer:

1. What type of wave is sound?

2.Does sound need a medium to travel through?

3. What are the properties of sound waves?

Explanation:

1. The type of waves sound are is mechanical waves.


2. Sound needs a solid, liquid or gas (material medium) to travel through.


3. I believe they are wavelength, amplitude, frequency, time period and velocity. 


I apologize if it is incorrect-

I hope it helps! Have a great day!
