Speedy Sue, driving at 34.0 m/s, enters a one-lane tunnel. She then observes a slow-moving van 160 m ahead traveling at 5.40 m/s

. Sue applies her brakes but can accelerate only at −1.90 m/s2 because the road is wet. Will there be a collision? Yes No

Answer:

Yes there will be a collision.

Explanation:

We shall use the relative motion between the 2 cars to solve

Relative speed of Sue with respect to slow moving van is

V_{r}=V_{sue}-V_{van}\\\\V_{r}=34-5.40=28.6m/s

Now in order to stop this vehicle the distance it requires to stop shall be calculated by third equation of kinematics as

v^{2}=u^{2}+2as

since the finally the car shall stop thus v = 0 m/s

Applying values in the above equation and solving for 's' we get

0=28.6^{2}+2\times -1.90\times s\\\\\therefore s=\frac{28.6^{2}}{2\times 1.90}\\\\s=215.25m

Since distance required to stop is greater than available distance of 160 m thus the two cars shall collide.

Answer:

Yes, there will be collision.

Explanation

Initial relative velocity u  = 34-5.4 = 28.6 m/s

required final relative velocity  v = 0

Acceleration , suppose be a .

Distance traveled =d = 160 m

Using the formula for relative motion,

v² - u² = 2as

0 - 28.6²=2as

a = - 2.55 m s⁻².

Since this required value is more than maximum  braking deceleration so , there will be collision.

If there is an object in top of another object, why does the upper object exert a downward normal force?​
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

This is because normal force is exerted perpendicularly to the point of contact between the upper and lower objects.  

Explanation:

This is because the upper object is still subject to gravitational pull. Therefore, the amount of force it exerts on the lower object due to gravity will be equal to the normal force that acts in the negative direction of gravitational force. Additionally, normal force is evident because the upper object will not go into the lower object.
