You are traveling on an interstate highway at the posted speed limit of 70 mph when you see that the traffic in front of you has

stopped due to an accident up ahead. You step on your brakes to slow down as quickly as possible. Assume that you to slow down to 30 mph in about 5 seconds. A) With this same average acceleration, how much longer would it take you to stop?
B) What total distance would you travel from when you first apply the brakes until the car stops?

Answer:8.75 s,

136.89 m

Explanation:

Given

Initial velocity=70 mph\approx 31.29 m/s

velocity after 5 s is 30 mph\approx 13.41 m/s

Therefore acceleration during these 5 s

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

a=\frac{13.41-31.29}{5}=-3.576 m/s^2

therefore time required to stop

v=u+at

here v=final velocity =0 m/s

initial velocity =31.29 m/s

0=31.29-3.576\times t

t=\frac{31.29}{3.576}=8.75 s

(b)total distance traveled before stoppage

v^2-u^2=2as

0^2-31.29^2=2\times (-3.576)\cdot s

s=136.89 m

Neglecting air resistance, what maximum height will be reached by an arrow launched straight upward with an initial speed of 35
tankabanditka [31]
The velocity at the maximum height will always be 0. Therefore, you will count your final velocity as 0, and your initial velocity as 35 m/s. Next, we know that the acceleration will be 9.8 m/s^2. How? Because the ball is thrown directly upward, and the only force acting on it will be the force of gravity pushing it back down.

The formula we use is h = (Vf^2 - Vi^2) / (2*-9.8m/s^2)

Plugging everything in, we have h = (0-1225)/(19.6) = 62.5 meters is the maximum height.

The diagram shows the flow of water through a hydroelectric power station. The falling water
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}

Explanation:

In the generation of energy from hydroelectric power station, the motion of water, and the turbines are paramount. The falling flowing water turns the blades of the turbine, which in-turn causes the movement of a coil within a strong magnetic field.

The motion of the coil which cuts the strong magnetic field induces current. Thus, the system generates electrical energy.

The equation that links kinetic energy (KE), mass (m) and speed (v) can be expressed as:

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}

Problem 4: A mass m = 1.5 kg hangs at the end of a vertical spring whose top end is fixed to the ceiling. The spring has spring
lana [24]

Answer:

y (t) = 0.754 * cos ( 7.96 t - 69.52)

Explanation:

Given:

m = 1.5 kg , k = 95 N / m , v₀ = 6 m / s , d = 0.35 m , t = 0

y (t) = A * cos ( ω * t - φ )

Using the equation that describe the motion

m * v = - k * x  ⇒ m * x'' = - k * x

Angular velocity is equal to

ω = √ k / m   ⇒ ω = √ 95 N /m  /  1.5 kg  

ω = 7.96  rad /s

A = v / ω   ⇒  A = 6 m /s   /   7.96 rad / s

A = 0.754

d = cos * φ    ⇒  φ = cos ⁻¹ * 0.35

φ = 69.52

y (t) = A * cos ( ω * t - φ )    ⇒  y (t) = 0.754 * cos ( 7.96 t - 69.52)
