"A pitcher throws a baseball, and then the batter hits a homerun" is the one among the following choices given in the question that <span>best represents potential energy being converted to kinetic energy. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "2". </span>
The breaking distance consists of two parts. The first part is the first 0.5 seconds were no breaking occurs. Given values: t time, v₀ initial velocity:
x₁ = v₀*t
The second part occurs after t = 0,5s with the given acceleration: a = - 12 m/s²
were the final velocity is zero, v = 0 and the initial velocity v₀= 16m/s:
v = a*t + v₀ = 0 => v₀ = -a*t => t = v₀/-a
x₂ = 0.5*a*t² = 0.5*v°²/a
The total breaking distance is the sum of the two parts:
x = x₁ + x₂ = v₀* t + 0.5 * v₀² / a = 16 * 0.5 + 0.5 * 16² / 12 = 8 + 10,7 = 18,7
You can use this result to calculate the remaining distance. You can use the last equation to calculate the maximum speed you could have to avoid a collision.
Use x = 39m and solve for v₀.
Distance = speed X time
In this example, the speed of the airplane = 840km. The time (that the question is asking)is how far can it travel in 1 hour.
So just plug in your numbers.
Distance = 840km X 1 hour = 840km/hour or 840km for short.
