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

You want to slide a 0.39 kg book across a table. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is .21, what force is required to move t
uranmaximum [27]
Find the force that would be required in the absence of friction first, then calculate the force of friction and add them together.  This is done because the friction force is going to have to be compensated for.  We will need that much more force than we otherwise would to achieve the desired acceleration:

F_{NoFric}=ma=0.39kg \times0.18 \frac{m}{s^2}  =0.0702N

The friction force will be given by the normal force times the coefficient of friction.  Here the normal force is just its weight, mg

F_{Fric}=0.39kg \times 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} \times 0.21=0.803N

Now the total force required is:

0.0702N+0.803N=0.873N

A 3.1 kg ball is dropped from the top of a 38 m tall building. What is the speed of the ball when it is halfway from the buildin
Archy [21]

Answer:

19.3m/s

Explanation:

Use third equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2gh

where v is the velocity at halfway, u is the initial velocity, g is gravity (9.81m/s^2) and h is the height at which you'd want to find the velocity

insert values to get answer

v^2-0^2=2(9.81m/s^2)(38/2)\\v^2=9.81m/s^2 *38\\v^2=372.78\\v=\sqrt[]{372.78} \\v=19.3m/s

A Red-Tailed Hawk leaves its nest and flies 100.0 meters across the sky in 20 seconds, when it spots a garter snake on the groun
igomit [66]
Speed = distance / time.

Speed of him leaving the nest:
S = 100 / 20sec

5 m/s.

Catching the snake:
S2 = 50 / 5sec

10 m/s.

Average of 5& 10 = 7.5

7.5 m/s has to be the answer.
