You are driving to the grocery store at 20 m/s. You are 110 m from an intersection when the light turns red. You have a reaction

time of 0.70 seconds before applying the brakes.
a) How far from the intersection are you when you hit the brakes?
b) What deceleration is required to stop at the intersection?
c) How long does it take you to stop?

Answer:

a)

reaction time = 0.70 s

distance travelled in reaction time = v*t

= 20 m/s * 0.70 s

= 14 m

So, when brake is applied, distance remaining= 110 m - 14 m = 96 m

Answer: 96 m

b)

vf = 0 m/s

d = 96 m

vi = 20 m/s

use:

vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a*d

0 = 20^2 + 2*a*96

-400 = 2*a*96

a = -2.08 m/s^2

Answer: -2.08 m/s^2

c)

use:

vf = vi + a*t

0 = 20 - 2.08*t

t = 9.6 s

Answer: 9.6 s

A 5000-kg freight car crashes into a 10,000-kg freight car at rest. They couple upon collision and move with a speed of 2 m/s. W
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

6 m/s

Explanation:

mass of moving car m1=5000 kg

initial velocity of moving car vi1=?

mass of car at rest = m2=10000 kg

initial velocity of car at rest = vi2=0

final velcoities of both cars after collision = vf1=vf2= 2m/s

using conservation of momentum rule

m1vi1+m2vi2=m1vf1+m2vf2

putting values

==> 5000 × vi1 + 1000 × 0 = 5000 × 2 + 10000 × 2

==> 5000 ×vi1 = 2 × 15000

==> vi1 = 2 × 15000 ÷ 5000

==> vi1= 2×3=6 m/s

Two blocks of masses 3.0 kg and 5.0 kg are connected by a spring and rest on a frictionless surface. They are given velocities t
miskamm [114]

Answer:

-0.7 m/sec

Explanation:

Mass of first block = m1 =3.0 kg

Mass of second block = m2= 5.0 kg

Velocity of first block = V1= 1.2 m/s

Velocity of second block = V2 = ?

Momentum of Center of mass MVcom  is sum of both blocks momentum and is given by

MVcom= m1v1+m2v2

Where

M= mass of center of mass

Vcom= Velocity of center of mass=0 m/s (because center of mass is at rest , so Vcom = 0 m.sec)

Putting values, we get;

0= 3×1.2+5v2

==> v2=  3.6/5= - 0.7 m/s

-ve sign indicates that block 2 is moving in opposite direction of block 1
