Aaron's car is moving at speed of 30 m/s
His reaction time is given as 0.7 s
but when he is tired the reaction time is doubled
Now we need to find the distance covered by his car when he is tired during the time when he react to apply brakes
So here since during this time speed is given as constant so we can say that distance covered can be product of speed and time
So here we can use
So the car will move to 42 m during the time when he apply brakes
Answer:
Explanation:
This is a projectile motion problem. We will first separate the motion into x- and y-components, apply the equations of kinematics separately, then we will combine them to find the initial velocity.
The initial velocity is in the x-direction, and there is no acceleration in the x-direction.
On the other hand, there no initial velocity in the y-component, so the arrow is basically in free-fall.
Applying the equations of kinematics in the x-direction gives
For the y-direction gives
Combining both equation yields the y_component of the final velocity
Since we know the angle between the x- and y-components of the final velocity, which is 180° - 2.8° = 177.2°, we can calculate the initial velocity.
