We use kinematic equations,

During reaction time,

S = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2                        (A)

During the deceleration,

v^2= u^2 + 2as.                                   (B)

Here, u is initial velocity, v is final velocity , a is acceleration and t is time.

There is no deceleration during his 0.8 sec reaction time so a=0, from equation (A),

S = 20 \ m/s (0.8 \ s) + 0 \times t= 16 \ m

During the deceleration (a = -7.0 m/s^2) ,  final velocity will be zero i.e v = 0, therefore from equation (B),

0 = (20 m/s)^2 +2 (-7.0 m/s^2) \ s \\\\ s =  \frac{-400}{-14} = 28. 57 m

Thus, the distance traveled by car after he sees need to put brakes is

S + s = 16 \ m + 28.57 \ m =44 .57 \ m

A crane exerts a net force of 900 N upward on a 750-kilogram car as the crane starts to lift the car from the deck of a cargo sh
melisa1 [442]

Answer: 1.2m/s^2

Explanation: the force exerted on the car is 900N upwards

The mass of the car is 750kg

According to Newton's third law acceleration is proportional to force

F = ma

900 = 750a

a = 900/750

a = 1.2m/s^2
