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

Discuss how energy conservation applies to a
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

a) in the upper position. b) in the lower position. c) in the lower position. d) in the upper position. f) Its kinetic and potential energy will be 0, but the energy is transferred to the element or body that stopped the movement of the pendulum

Explanation:

In the attached image we have the sketch of a pendulum system.

A) The potential energy is maximum when the pendulum is in the upper position (image, fig 1) because the elevation (h) is maximum with respect to the reference point.

B) the potential energy is minimum when the pendulum is in the lower pasition (image, fig 2) because the elevation (h) is cero with respect to the reference point.

Note: When the pendulum is coming down the potential energy is transforming in kinetic energy.

C) The kinetic energy is maximum when the pendulum is in the lower position (image, fig 2), because the potential energy has been transformed in kinetic energy.

D) The kinetic energy is maximum when the pendulum is in the upper position (image, fig 1) because at this moment the pendulum is at rest it means its velocity is 0. We know that the kinetic energy depends on the velocity.

f) The energy is transferred to the element or body that stopped the movement of the pendulum
