The driver of a car slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. The car slows uniformly with acceleration of −5.2

5 m/s2 for 4.15 s, making straight skid marks 62.5 m long, all the way to the tree. With what speed (in m/s) does the car then strike the tree? You may want to calculate the initial velocity of the car first. m/s (b) What If? If the car has the same initial velocity, and if the driver slams on the brakes at the same distance from the tree, then what would the acceleration need to be (in m/s2) so that the car narrowly avoids a collision? m/s2

Answer:

Part a)

Final speed of the car is

v_f = 4.17 m/s

Part b)

Acceleration of the car is

a = -5.39 m/s^2

Explanation:

As we know that car makes a skid of 62.5 m

here acceleration of the car is

a = - 5.25 m/s^2

now we have

d = v_i t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

62.5 = v_i (4.15) + \frac{1}{2}(-5.25)(4.15^2)

v_i = 25.95 m/s

Part a)

Speed of the car by which it will hit the tree

v_f = v_i + at

v_f = 25.95 - (5.25)(4.15)

v_f = 4.17 m/s

Part b)

Now if car will stop after travelling same distance which same initial speed

Then we can use kinematics

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

0 - 25.95^2 = 2(a)(62.5)

a = -5.39 m/s^2

Answer:

The car strikes the tree with a final speed of 4.165 m/s

The acceleration need to be of -5.19 m/seg2 to avoid collision by 0.5m

Explanation:

First we need to calculate the initial speed V_{0}

x=V_{0} *t+\frac{1}{2} *a*(t^{2} )\\62.5m=V_{0} *4.15s+\frac{1}{2} *-5.25\frac{m}{s^{2} } *(4.15^{2} )\\V_{0}=25.953\frac{m}{s}

Once we have the initial speed, we can isolate the final speed from following equation:

V_{f} =V_{0} +a*t  V_{f}= 4.165 \frac{m}{s}  

Then we can calculate the aceleration where the car stops 0.5 m before striking the tree.

To do that, we replace 62 m in the first formula, as follows:

x=V_{0} *t+\frac{1}{2} *a*(t^{2} )\\62m=25.953\frac{m}{s}*4.15s+\frac{1}{2} *-a\frac{m}{s^{2} } *(4.15^{2} )\\a=-5.19\frac{m}{s^{2} }

A car travels 20 km South, then turns and travels 30 km East? What is the total displacement?
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Explanation:36.05 km

Given

First car travels r_1=20\ km South

then turns and travels r_2=30\ km east

Suppose south as negative y axis and east as positive x axis

So, r_1=-20\hat{j}

r_2=30\hat{i}

Displacement is the shortest between initial and final point

Dispalcement=r=r_1+r_2

Displacement=-20\hat{j}+30\hat{i}

Displacement=30\hat{i}-20\hat{j}

Magnitude =\sqrt{30^2+(-20)^2}

Magnitude=36.05\ km

Suppose you were digging a well into saturated sediments. Why is the sediment’s permeability an important factor in deciding whe
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

The importance of the sediments permeability is that if it is permeable, water will flow easily through the sediment and thereby produce a very good supply of water for the well.

Explanation:

When digging a well into saturated sediments, the possibility of the sediment with either little saturation or full saturation being able to provide steady water supply will be limited by how permeable it is. Now, the importance of the sediments permeability is that if it is permeable, water will flow easily through the sediment and thereby produce a very good supply of water for the well.

Student swings a small rubber stopper attached to a string over her head in a horizontal, circular path. The string is 1.50 mete
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

v = 18.84 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The length of the string, r = 1.5 m (it will act as radius)

The rubber stopper makes 120 complete circles every minute.

Since, 1 minute = 60 seconds

It means, its frequency is 2 circles every second.

Let we need to find the average speed of the rubber stopper. It can be calculated as follows :

v=\dfrac{d}{T}

d is distance, d=2\pi r and 1/T = f (frequency)

v=2\pi rf\\\\=2\pi \times 1.5\times 2\\\\=18.84\ m/s

So, the average speed of the rubber stopper is 18.84 m/s.

Semenov [28]

Answer:

f_n=3.75N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Frictional force F=0.150N

Coefficient of kinetic friction \mu=0.04

Generally the equation for Normal for is mathematically given by

 f_n=\frac{F}{\mu}

Therefore

 f_n=\frac{0.150}{0.04}

 f_n=3.75N
