A test of the prototype of a new automobile shows that the minimum distance for a controlled stop from 95 km/h to zero is 55 m.

Find the acceleration, assuming it to be constant as a fraction of the free-fall acceleration. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s 2 . Answer in units of g

Answer:

-0.64525g

Explanation:

t = Time taken for the car to stop

u = Initial velocity = 95 km/h

v = Final velocity = 0 km/h

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

Equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0^2-95^2}{2\times 0.055}\\\Rightarrow a=-82045.45\ km/h^2

Converting to m/s²

a=82045.45=\frac{82045.45\times 1000}{3600\times 3600}=-6.33\ m/s^2

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Dividing both the accelerations, we get

\frac{a}{g}=\frac{-6.33}{9.81}=-0.64525\\\Rightarrow a=-0.64525g

Hence, acceleration of the car is -0.64525g

The explanation for the following answer is explained below.

Explanation:

The sun is at an average distance of about 93,000,000 miles(150 million kilometers) away from the earth.It is so far away that light from the Sun,travelling at a speed of 186,000 miles (300,000 kilometers) per second, takes about 8 minutes to reach the earth.Earth does not travel around the Sun in a perfect circle.Instead its orbit is elliptical,like a stretched circle,with the sun just off the center of the orbit. At its closest,the Sun is 91.4 million miles (147.1 million kilometers ) away us.At its farthest ,the Sun is 94.5 million miles (152.1 million km) away.The Earth is closest to the Sun during winter in the northern hemisphere

A typical meteor that hits the earth's upper atmosphere has a mass of only 2.5 g, about the same as a penny, but it is moving at
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Answer:u=66.67 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of meteor m=2.5 gm\approx 2.5\times 10^{-3} kg

velocity of meteor v=40km/s \approx 40000 m/s

Kinetic Energy of Meteor

K.E.=\frac{mv^2}{2}

K.E.=\frac{2.5\times 10^{-3}\times (4000)^2}{2}

K.E.=2\times 10^6 J

Kinetic Energy of Car

=\frac{1}{2}\times Mu^2

=\frac{1}{2}\times 900\times u^2

\frac{1}{2}\times 900\times u^2=2\times 10^6  

900\times u^2=4\times 10^6

u^2=\frac{4}{9}\times 10^4

u=\frac{2}{3}\times 10^2

u=66.67 m/s
