A car accelerates in the +x direction from rest with a constant acceleration of a1 = 1.76 m/s2 for t1 = 20 s. At that point the

driver notices a tree limb that has fallen on the road and brakes hard for t2 = 5 s with a constant acceleration of a2 = -5.93 m/s2.Write an expression for the car's speed just before the driver begins braking, v1.If the limb is on the road at a distance of 550 meters from where the car began its initial acceleration, will the car hit the limb?

Answer:

<em>1) an expression for the car's speed is given as </em>

<em>v = u + at</em>

<em>where </em>

<em>v is the car's speed</em>

<em>u is the initial speed of the car </em>

<em>a is the car's acceleration</em>

<em>t is the time spent accelerating</em>

<em>2) The car does not hit the tree limb</em>

Explanation:

The initial velocity of the car = 0 m/s  (since it accelerates from rest)

acceleration of the car = 1.76 m/s

time spent accelerating = 20 s

For the car's speed just before the driver begins braking, we use the expression

<em>v = u + at</em>

where v is the final speed of the car just before the driver begins braking

u is the initial velocity with which the car starts moving

a is the acceleration of the car

t is the time spent accelerating from u to v

substituting values, we have

v = 0 + 1.76(20)

v = 0 + 35.2

the car's speed v =<em> 35.2 m/s</em>

In this time the car accelerates, the car moves a distance given by

s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2

where s is the distance covered in this time

u is the initial speed of the vehicle

a is the acceleration

t is the time taken

substituting, we have

s = 0(20) + \frac{1}{2}(1.76)20^{2}

s = 0 + 352

distance s = <em>352 m</em>

When the driver brakes, we have

time spent braking = 5 s

acceleration = -5.93 m/s

and the distance to the limb = 550 m from where the car begun

to get the distance covered in this period, we use the expression

s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2

where s is the distance traveled at this time

u is the speed of the car before it starts braking = 35.2 m/s

a is the acceleration at this point

t is the time taken to decelerate to a stop

substituting values, we have

s = 35.2(5) + \frac{1}{2}(-5.93 x 5^2)

s = 176 - 74.125

s = <em>101.88 m</em>

Total distance moved by the car = 352 m + 101.88 m = <em>453.88 m</em>

Since the total distance traveled by the car is less than the distance from the starting point to the place where the tree limb is, the car does not hit the tree limb.

a uniform rod of length 1.5m is placed over a wedge at 0.5m from one end .a force of 100 N is applied at its one end near the we
andreev551 [17]

Explanation:

The rod is uniform, so the center of gravity is at the center, or 0.75 m from the end.  The wedge is 0.5 m from the end, so the center is 0.25 m from the wedge.

Sum the torques about the wedge (it may help to draw a diagram first).  Take counterclockwise to be positive.

∑τ = Iα

W (0.25 m) − (100 N) (0.50 m) = 0

W = 200 N

Sum the forces in the y direction.

∑F = ma

F − 100 N − 200 N = 0

F = 300 N

3) If an airplane is in flight cruising at constant velocity, what can be said about the net work
Crazy boy [7]

Explanation:

<h2>Yes!</h2>

<h3>In physics, constant velocity occurs when there is no net force acting on the object causing it to accelerate. In terms of airplane flight, the two main forces influencing its velocity forward are drag and thrust. At a constant altitude, when the force of thrust equals the opposing force of drag, then the airplane will experience uniform motion in one direction. This can be further explained by Newton’s First Law. </h3>

While water skiing behind her father’s boat, Letty is pulled at constant speed by a force of 164 N from the tow rope that makes
kap26 [50]

Answer:

0.265

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram.  There are four forces:

Normal force Fn pushing up.

Weight force mg pulling down.

Tension force T at an angle θ.

Friction force Fn μ pushing left.

Sum the forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

Fn + T sin θ − mg = 0

Fn = mg − T sin θ

Sum the forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

T cos θ − Fn μ = 0

Fn μ = T cos θ

μ = T cos θ / Fn

μ = T cos θ / (mg − T sin θ)

Given T = 164 N, θ = 10.0°, m = 65.0 kg, and g = 9.8 m/s²:

μ = (164 N cos 10.0°) / (65.0 kg × 9.8 m/s² − 164 N sin 10.0°)

μ = 0.265

Kenitic Energy (KE)<br> 1.doubled
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

mass

Explanation:

This energy of motion is what we call kinetic energy. ... In fact, kinetic energy is directly proportional to mass: if you double the mass, then you double the kinetic energy. Second, the faster something is moving, the greater the force it is capable of exerting and the greater energy it possesses.
