Option a, Option c and Option b
Explanation:
Answer:
a) The additional time required for the truck to stop is <u>8.5 seconds</u>
b) The additional distance traveled by the truck is <u>230.05 ft</u>
Explanation:
Since the acceleration is constant, the average speed is:
(final speed - initial speed) / 2 = 0.75 v0
Since travelling at this speed for 8.5 seconds causes the vehicle to travel 690 ft, we can solve for v0:
0.75v0 * 8.5 = 690
v0 = 108.24 ft/s
The speed after 8.5 seconds is: 108.24 / 2 = 54.12 ft/s
We can now use the following equation to solve for acceleration:
a = -6.367 m/s^2
Additional time taken to decelerate: 54.12/6.367 = 8.5 seconds
Total distance traveled:
0 - 108.24^2 = 2 * (-6.367) * s
solving for s we get total distance traveled = 920.05 ft
Additional Distance Traveled: 920.05 - 690 = 230.05 ft
