You are driving at 25 m/s with your cruise control on when you see a fallen tree in the road. It takes you 0.30 s to put on the

brakes, your car decelerates at a rate of 5.0 m/s2, and the tree is 75 m ahead. Will you hit the tree? Choose the correct answer and reason below.

Explanation:

Given data

velocity v= 25m/s

The time it takes to put on brake t= 0.3s

the distance covered when the  brake was put on is

v=s/t

s= v*t

s= 25*0.3s

s= 7.5m

hence the distance covered is 7.5m

Also the rate of decrease in aceleration is 5m/s^2

we can also calculate the distance covered at this rate

v^2=u^2+2as

25^2= 0+2*5*s

625=10s

divide both sides by 10

s=625/10

s= 62.5m

The total  distance covered between putting on the brakes and decelareation is  7.5+62.5= 70m

Given that the tree is 75m ahead, the car would not hit the tree

What change happens when matter<br> changes states?
Snowcat [4.5K]
Matter either loses or absorbs energy when it changes from one state to another. For example, when matter changes from a liquid to a solid, it loses energy. The opposite happens when matter changes from a solid to a liquid. For a solid to change to a liquid, matter must absorb energy from its surroundings.

How would you determine the volume of an irregular shaped object.
Archy [21]
You can use the displacement method or the eureka can so basically in the displacement can what you have to do is to put some water into a measuring cylinder and measure its volume before adding the irregular shaped object and then measuring the level of water which had been displaced and then eureka can you can check online
