You're driving down the highway late one night at 20 m/s when a deer steps onto the road 38 m in front of you.Your reaction time

before stepping on the brakes is 0.50 s ,and the maximum deceleration of your car is 10 m/s^2 what is the maximum speed you could have and still not hit the deer

Consider the motion of the car before brakes are applied:

v₀ = maximum initial velocity of the car before the brakes are applied

t = reaction time = 0.50 s

x₀ = distance traveled by the car before brakes are applied

since car moves at constant speed before brakes are applied

Using the equation

x₀ = v₀ t

x₀ = v₀  (0.50)


Consider the motion after brakes are applied :

v₀ = initial velocity of the car before the brakes are applied

a = acceleration = - 10 m/s²

v = final velocity of the car after it comes to stop = 0 m/s

x = stopping distance = initial distance - distance traveled before applying the brakes = 38 - x₀ = 38 - v₀  (0.50)

Using the equation

v² = v²₀ + 2 a x

inserting the values

0² = v²₀ + 2 (- 10) (38 - v₀  (0.50))

v²₀ = 20 (38 - v₀  (0.50))

v₀ = 23 m/s

Answer:

I think its B

Explanation:

because "This means that when you rubbed the plastic comb along your hair, your hair resisted the movement of the comb and slowed it down. The friction between two surfaces can cause electrons to be transferred from one surface to the other."
