A car accelerates in the +x direction from rest with a constant acceleration of a1 = 1.76 m/s2 for t1 = 20 s. At that point the

driver notices a tree limb that has fallen on the road and brakes hard for t2 = 5 s until it comes to a stop.
Part (a) Write an expression for the car's speed just before the driver begins braking, v1.
Part (b) If the limb is on the road at a distance of 550 meters from where the car began its initial acceleration, will the car hit the limb?
Part (c) How far, in meters, from the original location of the limb will the car be when it stops?

Answer:

(a)v_1 = a_1t_1 = 1.76 t_1

(b) It won't hit

(c) 110 m

Explanation:

(a) the car velocity is the initial velocity (at rest so 0) plus product of acceleration and time t1

v_1 = v_0 + a_1t_1 = 0 +1.76t_1 = 1.76t_1

(b) The velocity of the car before the driver begins braking is

v_1 = 1.76*20 = 35.2m/s

The driver brakes hard and come to rest for t2 = 5s. This means the deceleration of the driver during braking process is

a_2 = \frac{\Delta v_2}{\Delta t_2} = \frac{v_2 - v_1}{t_2} = \frac{0 - 35.2}{5} = -7.04 m/s^2

We can use the following equation of motion to calculate how far the car has travel since braking to stop

s_2 = v_1t_2 + a_2t_2^2/2

s_2 = 35.2*5 - 7.04*5^2/2 = 88 m

Also the distance from start to where the driver starts braking is

s_1 = a_1t_1^2/2 = 1.76*20^2/2 = 352

So the total distance from rest to stop is 352 + 88 = 440 m < 550 m so the car won't hit the limb

(c) The distance from the limb to where the car stops is 550 - 440 = 110 m

monochromatic light from a distant source is incident on a slit 0.75 mm wide. on screen 2 m away, the distance from the central
hjlf

Displacement from the center line for minimum intensity is 1.35 mm , width of the slit  is 0.75 so  Wavelength of the light  is 506.25.

<h3>How to find Wavelength of the light?</h3>

When a wave is bent by an obstruction whose dimensions are similar to the wavelength, diffraction is observed. We can disregard the effects of extremes because the Fraunhofer diffraction is the most straightforward scenario and the obstacle is a long, narrow slit.

This is a straightforward situation in which we can apply the

Fraunhofer single slit diffraction equation:

y = mλD/a

Where:

y = Displacement from the center line for minimum intensity =  1.35 mm

λ =  wavelength of the light.

D = distance

a = width of the slit = 0.75

m = order number = 1

Solving for λ

λ = y + a/ mD

Changing the information that the issue has provided:

λ = 1.35 * 10^-3 + 0.75 * 10^-3 / 1*2  

=5.0625 *10^-7 = 506.25

so

Wavelength of the light 506.25.

kvasek [131]
From the Hooke's law , the extension force of an elastic material is directly proportional to the extension. 
That is, F = k e, where F is the force , k is the constant and e is the extension
 F = 10 × 10 = 100 N
e = 1mm or 0.001 m
Hence, k = F/e
                = 100 N/ 0.001
                = 100000 N/m or 100 N/mm
