A driver traveling 50 mph rounds a bend and sees a car stopped 40 yards (36.576 m) ahead. Assumethe following: the road is flat
1 answer:
Answer:
a)there is collision
b)V=7.79m/s
Explanation:
A body that moves with constant acceleration means that it moves in "a uniformly accelerated movement", which means that if the velocity is plotted with respect to time we will find a line and its slope will be the value of the acceleration, it determines how much it changes the speed with respect to time.
When performing a mathematical demonstration, it is found that the equations that define this movement are as follows.
Vf=Vo+a.t (1)
{Vf^{2}-Vo^2}/{2.a} =X (2)
X=Xo+ VoT+0.5at^{2} (3)
X=(Vf+Vo)T/2 (4)
Where
Vf = final speed
Vo = Initial speed
T = time
A = acceleration
X = displacement
In conclusion to solve any problem related to a body that moves with constant acceleration we use the 3 above equations and use algebra to solve
To solve this problem, we use equation number 2 to calculate the distance traveled after the end of a movement with constant speed with a time of 0.2s, if it is less than 36.576m there is no collision.
Xt=X1+X2 (5)
X1= distance traveled with constant speed
X1=distance traveled with constant acceleration
for X1
X1=Vt
where
V=50mph=22.35m/s
t=0.2
X1=0.2x22.35m/s
X1=4.47m
for X2 using ecuation number 2
Vo=22.35m/s
Vf=0m/s
a=-6m/s^2
{Vf^{2}-Vo^2}/{2.a} =X
{0^{2}-22.35^2}/{(2).(6)} =X
x2=41.626m
Xt=x1+x2
Xt=41.626+4.47=49m
as the distance traveled is 49m the cars crash
b) to calculate the final speed we use the ecuation number tow(2)
X=36.576m
Vo=22.35m/s
a=-6m/s^2
{Vf^{2}-Vo^2}/{2.a} =X
solving for vf

The angular speed is decreasing and direction of rotation clockwise of the rod immediately after time t.
<h3></h3><h3>What is angular speed ?</h3>The rate of change of angular displacement is defined as angular speed. It is stated as follows:
ω = θ t
Where,
θ is the angle of rotation,
t is the time
ω is the angular velocity
The torque is found as;l
If the force is acting on the rod from the three point is the same, the value of the torque is depends upon the radius or the perpendicular distance.
The perpendicular distance of the right force is grater. Hence, the force acting on the right side is more, and the rod will rotate clockwise.
Both the forces are acting downwards. Thus, the resultant force is the less due to which the speed is increasing.
Hence, the angular speed is decreasing and direction of rotation clockwise of the rod immediately after time t.
