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

Answer:

1.5048\times 10^{-23}\ Am^2

Explanation:

q = Charge of proton = 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

r = Radius of circle = 5.7\times 10^{-11}\ m

v = Velocity of proton = 3.3\times 10^6\ m/s

Magnetic moment is given by

M=\frac{1}{2}qrv\\\Rightarrow M=\frac{1}{2}1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 5.7\times 10^{-11}\times 3.3\times 10^6\\\Rightarrow M=1.5048\times 10^{-23}\ Am^2

The magnetic moment associated with this motion is 1.5048\times 10^{-23}\ Am^2
