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 the total kinetic energy of a 0.15 kg hockey puck sliding at 0.5 m/s and rotating about its center at 8.4 rad/s
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

K=0.023J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass m=0.15

Velocity v=0.5m/s

Angular Velocity \omega=8.4rad/s

Generally the equation for Kinetic Energy is mathematically given by

K=\frac{1}{2}M(v^2+\frac{1}{2}R^2\omega^2)

K=\frac{1}{2}0.15(0.5^2+\frac{1}{2}(0.038)^2.(8.4rad/s^2))

K=0.023J

Answer:

Magnitude of gravitational force of the electron= 3.74×10^12N

Explanation:

Felectron= Fgravitational

Therefore:

Felectron/Fgravitational = kq^2/r^2 ×(r^2/Gm^2)

= kq^2/Gm^2

Where G= gravitational constant

m = mass of electron=9.1×10^-31

K= 8.9x10^9

q= 1.6×10^-19

Magnitude of gravitational force= (8.9×10^9)×(1.6×10^-19)^2/(6.7×10^-11)×(9.1×10^-31)

=( 2.2784×10^-28) / ( 6.097×10^-41)

= 3.74×10^12N
