Answer:
1. -8.20 m/s²
2. 73.4 m
3. 19.4 m
Explanation:
1. Apply Newton's second law to the car in the y direction.
∑F = ma
N − mg = 0
N = mg
Apply Newton's second law to the car in the x direction.
∑F = ma
-F = ma
-Nμ = ma
-mgμ = ma
a = -gμ
Given μ = 0.837:
a = -(9.8 m/s²) (0.837)
a = -8.20 m/s²
2. Given:
v₀ = 34.7 m/s
v = 0 m/s
a = -8.20 m/s²
Find: Δx
v² = v₀² + 2aΔx
(0 m/s)² = (34.7 m/s)² + 2 (-8.20 m/s²) Δx
Δx = 73.4 m
3. Since your braking distance is the same as the car in front of you, the minimum safe following distance is the distance you travel during your reaction time.
d = v₀t
d = (34.7 m/s) (0.56 s)
d = 19.4 m
Answer:
16.7 s
Explanation:
T= <u>Vf - Vo</u> a= <u>F</u>
a m
4,500 / 3000 = 1.5 (a)
30 - 5 / 1.5(a) = 16.7 s
The first choices are correct, because the second choices could happen by things other than light.
