Answer:
I believe the answer would be C. point z
Answer:
(a)
(b) It won't hit
(c) 110 m
Explanation:
(a) the car velocity is the initial velocity (at rest so 0) plus product of acceleration and time t1

(b) The velocity of the car before the driver begins braking is

The driver brakes hard and come to rest for t2 = 5s. This means the deceleration of the driver during braking process is

We can use the following equation of motion to calculate how far the car has travel since braking to stop


Also the distance from start to where the driver starts braking is

So the total distance from rest to stop is 352 + 88 = 440 m < 550 m so the car won't hit the limb
(c) The distance from the limb to where the car stops is 550 - 440 = 110 m
Force = (mass) · (acceleration)
= (1,000 kg) · (9.8 m/s²)
= 9,800 newtons
Why are you still having a problem with F = M · a ?
