This question is typical on some driver license exams: A car moving at 43 km/h skids 17 m with locked brakes. How far will the c

ar skid with locked brakes at 129 km/h? Assume that energy loss is due only to sliding friction.

The new stopping distance is 152.6 m

Explanation:

The motion of the car is a uniformly accelerated motion, so we can use the following SUVAT equation:

v^2-u^2=2as

where in the initial situation, we have:

v = 0 is the final velocity of the car

u = 43 km/h = 11.9 m/s is the initial velocity

s = 17 m is the stopping distance

a is the acceleration

Solving for a, we find the acceleration:

a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}=\frac{0-(11.9)^2}{2(17)}=-4.2 m/s^2

The acceleration depends only on the sliding friction: this means that it is constant also in the second situation, where we have

u = 129 km/h = 35.8 m/s

So we can use the same equation again to find s, the new stopping distance:

s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}=\frac{0-(35.8)^2}{2(-4.2)}=152.6 m

Answer:

Increasing the mass and decreasing the distance between the two objects.

Explanation:

An increase in mass will cause them to have a stronger pull or gravity. A decrease of distance will make it easier for the objects to fall into each other because they would be further into the other objects area of influence.

A rescue plane flying horizontally at 72.6 m / s spots a survivor in the ocean 182 m directly below and releases an emergency ki
Mila [183]

Answer:

547 m

Explanation:

From law of motion

s = ut + ½at²

Where "t" is Time taken to reach Earth

s= distance= 182 m

a= vertical acceleration = 5.82 m / s 2

U= initial velocity in vertical position = 0

182= ½ × 5.82t²

t²=( 2× 182)/ 5.82

= 364/5.82

= 62.54

t= √62.54

t= 7.908s

horizontal distance travelled = speed x time

Horizontal speed= 72.6 m / s

horizontal distance travelled =72.6× 7.908

= 547 m

Hence, the survivor will it hit the waves at 547 m away
