A car traveling 75 km/h slows down at a constant 0.50 m/s2 just by "letting up on the gas." calculate (a) the distance the car c

oasts before it stops, (b) the time it takes to stop, and (c) the distance it travels during the first and fifth seconds.

Solution:

At 1st convert km/h to m/s. 1 km = 1000 m, 1 h = 3600 s, 1 km/m = 1000/3600 = 5/18 m/s  

Initial velocity = 75 * 5/18 = 20.8 m/s  

The car’s velocity decreases from 20.8 m/s to 0 m/s at the rate of 0.5 m/s each second. We have the final velocity, initial velocity, and the acceleration.  

Now according to the equation determine the distance.  

vf^2 = vi^2 + 2 * a * d  

a = -0.5 m/s^2  

0 = 20.8^2 + 2 * -0.5 * d  

so d = 431.64 m  

since we have the final velocity, initial velocity, and the acceleration. Use the following equation to determine time.  

vf = vi + a * t  

0 = 20.8 – 0.5 * t  

Solve for t = 41 seconds  

(c) the distance travels by it during the first and fifth second are.  

d = vi * t + ½ * a * t^2  

d1 = 20.8 * 1 – ½ * 0.5 * 1^2 = 20.55 m  

The easiest way to the distance for the 5th second is:

d = vi * t + ½ * a * t^2, a = -0.5  

d5 = 20.8 * 5 – ½ * 0.5 * 5^2 = 91.5 m  

d6 = 20.8 * 6 – ½ * 0.5 * 6^2 =  106.8m

d6 – d5 = 15.3 m  

this is the required solution.

If you hit another object with your vehicle, your _______ will be slowed or stopped by the force of impact caused by that object
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Speed

Explanation:

If a vehicle hit any other object then its speed will slow down or some time the vehicle will stop its depends on the force exerted by other object on the vehicle.

The change in speed of vehicle is due to momentum because momentum is always conserved. So to conserve the momentum the speed of the vehicle decreases because after hitting the overall mass is increases.
