Let say for every 5 s of time interval the speed will remain constant
so it is given as
v(mi/h) 16 21 23 26 33 30 28
now we have to convert the speed into ft/s as it is given that 1 mi/h = 5280/3600 ft/s
so here we will have
v(ft/s) 23.5 30.8 33.73 38.13 48.4 44 41.1
now for each interval of 5 s we will have to find the distance cover for above interval of time
so here it will cover 1298.1 ft distance in 30 s interval of time
Answer:
(a)
(b) It won't hit
(c) 110 m
Explanation:
(a) the car velocity is the initial velocity (at rest so 0) plus product of acceleration and time t1
(b) The velocity of the car before the driver begins braking is
The driver brakes hard and come to rest for t2 = 5s. This means the deceleration of the driver during braking process is
We can use the following equation of motion to calculate how far the car has travel since braking to stop
Also the distance from start to where the driver starts braking is
So the total distance from rest to stop is 352 + 88 = 440 m < 550 m so the car won't hit the limb
(c) The distance from the limb to where the car stops is 550 - 440 = 110 m
