First, create an illustration of the motion of the two cars as shown in the attached picture. The essential equations used is
For constant acceleration:
a = v,final - v,initial /t
The solutions is as follows:
a = v,final - v,initial /t
3.8 = (v - 0)/2.8 s
v = 10.64 m/s After 2.8 seconds, the speed of the blue car is 10.64 m/s.
Answer:
<u><em>The truck was moving 16.5 m/s during the time it took to stop, which was 3 seconds. </em></u>
- <u><em>Initial velocity = 33 m/s</em></u>
- <u><em>Final velocity = 0 m/s</em></u>
- <u><em>Average velocity = (33 + 0) / 2 m/s = 16.5 m/s</em></u>
Explanation:
- <u><em>First, how long does it take the truck to come to a complete stop?</em></u>
- <u><em>( 33 m/s ) / ( 11 m / s^2 ) = 3 seconds</em></u>
- <u><em>Then we can look at the average velocity between when the truck started decelerating and when it came to a complete stop. Because the deceleration is constant (always 11m/s^2) we can use this trick.</em></u>
The rock will continue to travel in a straight line with a constant velocity for ever... The reason is, once it leaves your hand there is no force acting on the rock, so it will just continue to move in a natural motion which is constant velocity.
