Analysis of an accident scene indicates a car was traveling at a velocity of 69.5 mph (31.1 m/s) along the positive x-axis at th

e instant the brakes were applied and then traveled a distance of 115 m before hitting an obstacle at a velocity of 5.20 m/s. Determine the car's acceleration a (assumed constant) and the time t between applying the brakes and hitting the obstacle. (Assume the car is moving in the positive direction. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)

We can find the acceleration via

{v_f}^2-{v_i}^2=2a\Delta x

We have

\left(5.20\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2-\left(31.1\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2=2a(115\,\mathrm m)

\implies\boxed{a=-4.09\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}}

Then by definition of average acceleration,

a_{\rm ave}=\dfrac{v_f-v_i}t

so that

-4.09\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}=\dfrac{5.20\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}-31.1\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}}t

\implies\boxed{t=6.33\,\mathrm s}

We alternatively could have found the time without knowing the acceleration. Since acceleration is constant, the average velocity is

v_{\rm ave}=\dfrac{x_f-x_i}t=\dfrac{v_f+v_i}2

Then

\dfrac{115\,\rm m}t=\dfrac{5.20\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}+31.1\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}}2

\implies\boxed{t=6.33\,\mathrm s}

Simplify the expression below.
natita [175]

Answer:

3m - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step by Step:

Equation= 6m³ - 16m² + 15m - 40/ 2m² + 5

Factor out 2m² from 6m³ - 16m²:

Factor out 5 from expression:

2m²(3m - 8) + 5(3m - 8)/2m² + 5

Factor out 3m - 8:

(3m - 8)(2m² + 5)/2m² + 5

Rude the fraction with 2m² + 5:

3m - 8 is the answer

I hope this helped!
