Your position in meters will, measured relative to the starting point of the car behind you, be 
x1(t) = 10 + 23.61 t - 1/2 4.2 t^2 
his position will be 
x2(t) = 16.67 t 
Hence at any time the separation s(t) will be 
s(t) = x1(t) - x2(t) = 10 + 6.94 t -2.1 t^2 
Now I assume you mean that you will decelerate UNTIl you are driving at the legal speed limit (60 km/h). That will take you: 
16.67 m/s = 23.61m/s - 4.2 m/s^2 * t 
t = 1.65 seconds 
What is the separation at that time? If it is still greater than zero, there will be no collision: 
s(1.65) = 10 + 6.94 *1.65 -2.1 (1.65)^2 = 15.73 meters. 
Hence you will NOT collide. The 1.65 s you calculated was the time needed to brake to the speed of 60 km/h.

1. State the law of conservation of energy and what it means for you as a human considering how energy works.
Arturiano [62]

Answer: 1. The law of consevation of energy sates that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only be transformed or transfered from one form to another. The law of conservation of energy is found everywhere for example, Water falls from the sky, converting potential energy to kinetic energy.

2. Different forms of energy are related because energy cannot be created or destroyed. they can all be transformed into from one form to another.

A boy 12.0 m above the ground in a tree throws a ball for his dog, who is standing right below the tree and starts running the i
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

Height covered = 12m

time to fall by 12 m

s = 1/2 gt²

12 = 1/2 g t²

t = 1.565 s

Horizontal distance of throw

= 8.5 x 1.565

= 13.3 m

This distance is to be covered by dog during the time ball falls ie 1.565 s

Speed of dog required = 13.3 / 1.565

= 8.5 m /s

b ) dog will catch the ball at a distance of 13.3 m .
