The mechanical energy of an object is a combination of its potential energy and its <em><u>kinetic</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>energy</u></em><em><u>.</u></em>
Answer:
Explanation:
Using the kinematics equation
to determine the velocity of car B.
where;
initial velocity
= constant deceleration
Assuming the constant deceleration is = -12 ft/s^2
Also, the kinematic equation that relates to the distance with the time is:

Then:

The distance traveled by car B in the given time (t) is expressed as:

For car A, the needed time (t) to come to rest is:

Also, the distance traveled by car A in the given time (t) is expressed as:

Relating both velocities:





t = 2.25 s
At t = 2.25s, the required minimum distance can be estimated by equating both distances traveled by both cars
i.e.



d + 104.625 = 114.75
d = 114.75 - 104.625
d = 10.125 ft
Answer:
d
Explanation:
is the because that's the amount of work in making machine can do producing heat
