Stopping distance of vehicles When brakes are applied to a moving vehicle, the distance it travels before stopping is called sto

pping distance. It is an important factor for road safety and depends on the initial velocity (v0) and the braking capacity, or deceleration that is caused by braking. A car travelling at speed 72km/hr suddenly applies the brake with the deceleration of 5m/s2. Find the stopping distance of the car.

Answer:

Stopping distance = 40m

Explanation:

Given the following :

Initial speed of vehicle before applying brakes = 72km/hr

Converting km/hr to m/s:

72km/hr = [(72 * 1000)m] / (60 * 60)

72km/hr = 72,000m / 3600s

72km/hr = 20m/s

Deceleration after applying brakes (-a) (negative acceleration) = - 5m/s^2

From the 3rd equation of motion:

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

Where v = final Velocity ; u= Initial Velocity ; a = acceleration and s = distance

Final velocity when the car stops will be 0

Therefore ;

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

0 = 20^2 + 2(-5)(s)

0 = 400 - 10s

10s = 400

s = 400/10

s = 40m

Therefore, the stopping distance of the car = 40 meters

When is the pressure of the man on the ground more – lying position or standing
Wittaler [7]

Hi,

<u>The man on the ground in standing position has more pressure</u>. This is because when he stands, only his legs are in contact with the ground. While lying, his body is more in contact with the ground, therefore, he exerts less pressure.

To the point, a man standing position on the ground had more pressure.

More is the area of contact, less is the pressure efforted.

Thank you...

A 36,287 kg truck has a momentum of 907,175 kg • . What is the truck’s velocity?
Snowcat [4.5K]
By definition,
Momentum = Mass * Velocity

Let v =  the velocity of the truck, m/s
The mass of the truck is 36,287 kg.
The momentum is 907,175 (kg-m)/s.

Therefore
907,175 (kg-m)/s = (36287 kg)*(v m/s)
v = 907175/36287 = 25 m/s

Answer: 25 m/s
