Answer: The tidal forces exerted by the moon are directly associated with the earth's rotation. Due to the strong gravitational pull of the moon, the tidal bulging appears on both the sides on earth and these are region of high tide, and there is gradual rise and fall of sea level.

Because of these tidal effect, the earth is able to rotate only once in each of the orbital period.

You are driving your car, and the traffic light ahead turns red. you apply the brakes for 2.26 s, and the velocity of the car de

Lorico [155]

Let the initial velocity of the car be u.

Final velocity of the car (v) = 5.43 m/s

deceleration (a) = - 2.78 m/s^2

Time taken (t) = 2.26 s

Using the first equation of motion:

v = u + at

u = v - at

$u = 5.43 - (-2.78 \times 2.26)$

u = 5.43 + 6.28

u = 11.71 m/s

Let the car's displacement be x.

Using second equation of motion:

$x = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$x = 11.71 \times 2.26 - \frac{1}{2} \times 2.78 \times 2.26^2$

x = 26.4646 - 7.0995

x = 19.3651 meters

Hence, the displacement of the car is 19.36 meters
