Assuming the driver starts slamming the brakes immediately, the car moves by uniformly decelerated motion, so we can use the following relationship
2aS = v_f^2 - v_i^2 (1)
where 
a is the deleceration
S is the distance covered after a time t
v_f is the velocity at time t
v_i=100 km/h = 27.8 m/s is the initial speed of the car

The accident is 80 m ahead of the car, so the minimum deceleration required to avoid the accident is the value of a such that S=80 m and v_f=0 (the car should stop exactly at S=80 m to avoid the accident). Using these data, we can solve  the equation (1) to find a:
a=- \frac{v_i^2}{2 S}= -\frac{(27.8 m/s)^2}{2 \cdot 80 m} =-4.83 m/s^2
And the negative sign means it is a deceleration.

What is necessary to designate a position? A. a reference point B. a direction C. fundamental units D. motion E. all of these
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

E. all of these

Explanation:

The designation of a point in space all the points that necessary

- reference point

- a direction

- fundamental units

- a direction

- motion

all are necessary to designate a point in space. Hence option E is correct.

For example in simple harmonic motion we need to specify all the above factors of the object in order to designate the position of the object.

Hydraulic engineers often use, as a unit of volume of water, the "acre-foot", defined as the volume of water that will cover 1 a
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

Volume = 1,015 acre-feet (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Rain = 1.7 in

Time = 30 min

Area = 29 km²

Find:

Volume in acre-feet

Computation:

1 km = 1,000 m

1 m = 3.28 feet

1 km² = 247.105 acre

d = 1.7 in = 1.7 / 12 = 0.14167 ft

Area = 29 × 247.105 = 7,166.045 acre

Volume = 7,166.045 acre × 0.14167 ft

Volume = 1,015 acre-feet (Approx)

in which of the following collisions would you expect the kinetic energy to be conserved? a. a bullet passes through a block of
Scorpion4ik [409]

An elastic collision is one in which the system does not experience a net loss of kinetic energy as a result of the collision. In elastic collisions, momentum and kinetic energy are both conserved.

<h3>Explain about the Elastic Collision?</h3>

A collision between two bodies in physics is referred to as an elastic collision if their combined kinetic energy stays constant. There is no net conversion of kinetic energy into other forms, such as heat, noise, or potential energy, in an ideal, fully elastic collision

An example of an elastic collision is when two balls collide at a pool table. It is an elastic collision when you throw a ball on the ground and it bounces back into your hand because there is no net change in the kinetic energy.

If there is no kinetic energy lost in the impact, the collision is said to be perfectly elastic. A collision is considered to be inelastic if any of the kinetic energy is converted to another kind of energy during the collision.
