Answer:
The car stops in 7.78s and does not spare the child.
Explanation:
In order to know if the car stops before the distance to the child, you take into account the following equation:
(1)
vo: initial speed of the car = 45km/h
a: deceleration of the car = 2 m/s^2
t: time
xo: initial distance to the child = 25m
x: final distance to the child = 0m
It is necessary that the solution of the equation (1) for time t are real.
You first convert the initial speed to m/s, then replace the values of the parameters and solve the quadratic polynomial for t:
You take the first value t1 because it has physical meaning.
The solution for t is real, then, the car stops in 7.78s and does not spare the child.
Answer:
m = 0.51[kg]
Explanation:
Potential energy is defined as the product of mass by gravity by height.
where:
Epot = potential energy = 15 [J]
m = mass [kg]
g = gravity acceleration = 9.8 [m/s²]
h = elevation = 3 [m]
Now replacing:
