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

Ber [7]
More compressed. moving up = apparent weight (i.e., your norma force) is greater. this means you’ll weighr more and push those springs down even more than you would at rest.

The distiction between long and short term memory
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

The main difference between short term and long term memory is that the short term memory stores data temporarily while the long term memory stores data permanently. Moreover, the short term memory is volatile while the long term memory is nonvolatile. Memory is the component in a computer that stores data and information.

When the Apollo 11 lunar module Eagle lands on the moon it comes to a stop 10m above the surface of the moon. The last 10m it fr
Scrat [10]

Answer:

i) 3.514 s, ii) 5.692 m/s

Explanation:

i) We can use Newton's second law of motion to find out how long does it take for the Eagle to touch down.

as the equation says for free-falling

h = ut +0.5gt^2

Here, h = 10 m, g = acceleration due to gravity = 1.62 m/s^2( on moon surface)

initial velocity u = 0

10 = 0.5×1.62t^2

t = 3.514 seconds

Therefore, it takes t = 3.514 seconds for the Eagle to touch down.

ii) use Newton's 1st equation of motion to calculate the velocity of the lunar module when it hits the surface of the moon

v = u + gt

v = 0+ 1.62×3.514

v= 5.692 m/s

amping equipment weighing 6.0 kN is pulled across a frozen lake by means of ahorizontal rope. The coecient of kinetic friction i
Harman [31]

Answer:

Work done = 422.45 kJ

Explanation:

given,                                  

weight of equipment = 6 kN      

coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.05          

distance up to which it is pulled = 1000 m

constant acceleration = 0.2 m/s²                    

Work done by the camper = ?                

actual acceleration acting a'      

m a = m a' - μ mg            

a' = a + μ g                      

a' = 0.2 + 0.05 x 9.8                

a' = 0.69 m/s²                              

Work done = Force x distance

F = m a'                                                            

F = \dfrac{6000}{9.8} \times 0.69

F = 422.44897 N                            

Work done = F x d                          

Work done = 422.44897 x 1000

Work done = 422449 J                  

Work done = 422.45 kJ
