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 force is required to accelerate a 385 kg couch at 0.2 m/s^2 ?
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

It takes 77 N

Explanation:

Using Newton's second law of motion, F=ma (Force equals mass times acceleration. Since the mass of the couch is 385 kg and the target acceleration is 0.2 m/s, you simply multiply mass times acceleration (ma) to get the total force, or 77 N.

lozanna [386]

Answer: Some conversions from one system of units to another need to be exact, without increasing or decreasing the precision of the first measurement. This is sometimes called soft conversion. It does not involve changing the physical configuration of the item being measured.
