A car can be braked to a stop from the autobahn-like speed of 206 km/h in 190 m. Assuming the acceleration is constant, find its

magnitude in (a) SI units and (b) in terms of g. (c) How much time Tb is required for the braking? Your reaction time Tr is the time you require to perceive an emergency, move your foot to the brake, and begin the braking. If Tr = 400 ms, then (d) what is the ratio Tb/Tr?

Answer:

  • a = - 8.617 \frac{m}{s^2}
  • a =  - 0.8798 \ g
  • Tb = 6.64 \ s
  • \frac{Tb}{Tr} = 16.6

Explanation:

<h3>a and b</h3>

We can use the following formula, from kinematics:

(v_f)^2-(v_i)^2 = 2  \ a \  d

where v_f is the final speed, v_i is the initial speed, a is the acceleration and d the distance traveled.

Knowing that the final speed is zero, and the initial speed is

v_i = 206 \frac{km}{h} = 206 \frac{km}{h} \frac{1000 \ m}{1 \ km} \frac{1 \ h}{3600 \ s} = 57.22 \frac{m}{s}

we obtain

(0)^2-(57.22 \frac{m}{s})^2 = 2  \ a \  190 \ m

a = \frac{ - \ 3,274.13 \frac{m^2}{s^2} }{ 2 \ 190 \ m}

a = - 8.617 \frac{m}{s^2}

Now, knowing that

g = 9.806 \frac{m}{s^2}

then

a = \frac{- 8.617 \frac{m}{s^2}} { 9.806 \frac{m}{s^2} } \ g

a = -  0.8798 \ g

<h3>c</h3>

We can use the following formula

v(t) = v_0 + a t

so

0 =  57.22 \frac{m}{s} - 8.617 \frac{m}{s^2} \ Tb

Tb = \frac{ 57.22 \frac{m}{s} }{ 8.617 \frac{m}{s^2} }

Tb = 6.64 \ s

<h3>d</h3>

\frac{Tb}{Tr} = \frac{ 6.64 \ s }{ 0.4 s }

\frac{Tb}{Tr} = 16.6

The centripetal force acting on the space shuttle
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

(4) weight

Explanation:

The centripetal force acting on the space shuttle in orbit is given by:

F=m\frac{v^2}{r}

where

m is the mass of the shuttle

v is the tangential speed of the shuttle

r is the radius of its circular orbit

When the shuttle orbits the Earth, the centripetal force that keeps the shuttle in circular motion is given by the gravitational attraction between the shuttle and the Earth, which corresponds to the weight of the shuttle, and it is given by:

F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

And this force, therefore, corresponds to the centripetal force.

A block of mass 0.245 kg is placed on top of a light, vertical spring of force constant 4 975 N/m and pushed downward so that th
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

10.99 m

Explanation:

m = mass of the block = 0.245 kg

k = spring constant of the vertical spring = 4975 N/m

x = compression of the spring = 0.103 m

h = height to which the block rise

Using conservation of energy

Potential energy gained by the block = Spring potential energy

mgh = (0.5) k x²

(0.245) (9.8) h = (0.5) (4975) (0.103)²

h = 10.99 m
