Two cars are traveling along a straight line in the same direction, the lead car at 24.7m/s and the other car at 29.9m/s. at the

moment the cars are 38.1m apart, the lead driver applies the brakes, causing her car to have an acceleration of -1.96m/s2. how long does it take for the lead car to stop? (in s)

Answer: 12.6 s

We would use the equation of motion:

v-u=at

where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.

It is given that the lead car has an initial velocity, u=24.7\hspace{1mm} m/s. It decelerates with a=-1.96 \hspace{1mm} m/s^{2} to stop (v=0). we need to calculate the time taken by the lead car to stop.

\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\ \Rightarrow t=\frac{0-24.7}{-1.96}=12.6\hspace{1mm} s

What is the force of a lead ball that starts with a momentum of 7 kg*m/s and end with a momentum of 22 kg*m/s over a time of 31
Gwar [14]

Answer:

F = 0.483 N

Explanation:

Initial momentum, P_i= 7\ kg-m/s

Final momentum, P_f= 22\ kg-m/s

Time, t = 31 s

We need to find the force of a lead ball. We can use here the impulse momentum theorem.

\text{Change in momentum}=F\times t

F is force

P_f-P_i=Ft\\\\F=\dfrac{P_f-P_i}{t}\\\\F=\dfrac{22-7}{31}\\\\F=0.483\ N

So, the force is 0.483 N.
