A driver with a 0.80-s reaction time applies the brakes, causing the car to have acceleration opposite the direction of motion.

Assume the acceleration is equal to -7.0 m/s^2. a. If the car is initially traveling at 26 m/s, how far does the car travel during the reaction time?
b. How far does the car travel after the brakes are applied and while skidding to a stop?

Answer:

a) During the reaction time, the car travels 21 m

b) After applying the brake, the car travels 48 m before coming to stop

Explanation:

The equation for the position of a straight movement with variable speed is as follows:

x = x0 + v0 t + 1/2 a t²

where

x: position at time t

v0: initial speed

a: acceleration

t: time

When the speed is constant (as before applying the brake), the equation would be:

x = x0 + v t

a)Before applying the brake, the car travels at constant speed. In 0.80 s the car will travel:

x = 0m + 26 m/s * 0.80 s = <u>21 m  </u>

b) After applying the brake, the car has an acceleration of -7.0 m/s². Using the equation for velocity, we can calculate how much time it takes the car to stop (v = 0):

v = v0 + a* t

0 = 26 m/s + (-7.0 m/s²) * t

-26 m/s / - 7.0 m/s² = t

t = 3.7 s

With this time, we can calculate how far the car traveled during the deacceleration.

x = x0 +v0 t + 1/2 a t²

x = 0m + 26 m/s * 3.7 s - 1/2 * 7.0m/s² * (3.7 s)² = <u>48 m</u>

A 1750-kilogram cars travels at a constant speed of 15.0 meters per second around a horizontal, circular track with a radius of
bulgar [2K]

m = mass of the car moving in horizontal circle = 1750 kg

v = Constant speed of the car moving in the horizontal circle = 15 m/s

r = radius of the horizontal circular track traced by the car = 45.0 m

F = magnitude of the centripetal force acting on the car

To move in a circle . centripetal force is required which is given as

F = m v²/r

inserting the above values in the formula

F = (1750) (15)²/(45)

F = (1750) (225)/(45)

F = 1750 x 5

F = 8750 N

A jet airliner moving initially at 889 mph
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

1500 mph

Explanation:

Take east to be +x and north to be +y.

The x component of the velocity is:

vₓ = 889 cos 0° + 830 cos 59°

vₓ = 1316.5 mph

The y component of the velocity is:

vᵧ = 889 sin 0° + 830 sin 59°

vᵧ = 711.4 mph

The speed is found with Pythagorean theorem:

v² = vₓ² + vᵧ²

v² = (1316.5 mph)² + (711.4 mph)²

v = 1496 mph

Rounded to two significant figures, the jet's speed relative to the ground is 1500 mph.

A ball is falling after rolling off a tall roof. The ball has

C.
Because it’s falling it has acceleration in the y direction. If you have acceleration, you usually also have velocity, and since kinetic energy is KE= Mv^2 you know you have it. It also has potential energy because it has some height to it, and PE= Mgh.
