Answer:
Explanation:
We have the following data:
- distance covered by the child: d = 2 m (length of the slide)
- time taken to cover this distance: t = 3 s
- initial velocity of the child: 0 m/s (he starts from rest)
So we can find the acceleration by using the equation:
Where a is the acceleration.
Substituting the values and solving for a,
Answer:
a) a = 3.72 m / s², b) a = -18.75 m / s²
Explanation:
a) Let's use kinematics to find the acceleration before the collision
v = v₀ + at
as part of rest the v₀ = 0
a = v / t
Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system
v = 115 km / h (1000 m / 1km) (1h / 3600s)
v = 31.94 m / s
v₂ = 60 km / h = 16.66 m / s
l
et's calculate
a = 31.94 / 8.58
a = 3.72 m / s²
b) For the operational average during the collision let's use the relationship between momentum and momentum
I = Δp
F Δt = m v_f - m v₀
F =
F = m [16.66 - 31.94] / 0.815
F = m (-18.75)
Having the force let's use Newton's second law
F = m a
-18.75 m = m a
a = -18.75 m / s²
