Answer:
"The capacity of a system to perform work of any type."
Explanation:
The best statement to describe Energy is:
"The capacity of a system to perform work of any type."
2m/s^2, this is because F=ma, meaning a is also equal to F/m. The car applies 1500N in one direction and outside sources apply a total of -500N, meaning the 500kg car is moving forward with a total of 1000N of force. Taking the total 1000N and dividing it by 500kg gives you and acceleration of 2m/s^2. Hope this helps!
<span>Hooke's law is F=-kx, which means the elastic force contained by the spring is a product of the distance it stretches and its spring constant, but the direction of the force is opposite that of the displacement. We calculate as follows:
</span><span>(3 kg)(9.8 m/s^2) = -k(-0.38 m)
</span>k =<span> 77.4
</span><span>Then use k to find the new displacement, again using Hooke's law:
(7 kg)(9.8 m/s^2) = -(77.4)x
x = -0.89 m</span>
Answer:
a. 
b. 
must be the minimum magnitude of deceleration to avoid hitting the leading car before stopping
c. 
is the time taken to stop after braking
Explanation:
Given:
- speed of leading car,
- speed of lagging car,
- distance between the cars,
- deceleration of the leading car after braking,
a.
Time taken by the car to stop:
where:
, final velocity after braking
time taken
b.
using the eq. of motion for the given condition:
where:
final velocity of the chasing car after braking = 0
acceleration of the chasing car after braking
must be the minimum magnitude of deceleration to avoid hitting the leading car before stopping
c.
time taken by the chasing car to stop:
is the time taken to stop after braking
