The solution for this problem is:
If they feel 50% of their weight that means that the
centripetal force is also 50% of their weight 1g - 0.5g = 0.5g
Then 0.5* 9.8m/s² * 18m = 88.2 would be v²
Then get the square root, the answer would be:
and v = 9.391 m/s is the answer.
Answer
D. 0.25 meters/second2
Explanation
The average acceleration is the ratio of change in velocity to the change in time of travel.Taking in this case that the change of velocity is a unit, then Average acceleration is given by;
Aacc=Vf-Vi/Tf-Ti
where Vf=final velocity,Vi=initial velocity' Tf=final time, Ti=initial time
Vf-Vi=1m/s
Tf-Ti=4-0=4seconds
Avacc=1/4=0.25m/s2
I’ve answered this before so I know the question is missing an
important given and that given is: <span>1 has an
empty trailer and the other has a fully loaded one.
So, it would be the fully loaded trailer that would take a longer distance to
stop because a lot of weight is being pulled, and when the brakes are started,
the fully loaded trailer is more like pushing against the truck.</span>
