Let say for every 5 s of time interval the speed will remain constant
so it is given as
v(mi/h) 16 21 23 26 33 30 28
now we have to convert the speed into ft/s as it is given that 1 mi/h = 5280/3600 ft/s
so here we will have
v(ft/s) 23.5 30.8 33.73 38.13 48.4 44 41.1
now for each interval of 5 s we will have to find the distance cover for above interval of time
so here it will cover 1298.1 ft distance in 30 s interval of time
Answer:
141.78 ft
Explanation:
When speed, u = 44mi/h, minimum stopping distance, s = 44 ft = 0.00833 mi.
Calculating the acceleration using one of Newton's equations of motion:
Note: The negative sign denotes deceleration.
When speed, v = 79mi/h, the acceleration is equal to when it is 44mi/h i.e. -116206.48 mi/h^2
Hence, we can find the minimum stopping distance using:
The minimum stopping distance is 141.78 ft.
