A car is being driven along a road at 25m/s when the driver suddenly notices that there is a fallen tree blocking the road 65m a

head. The driver immediately applies the brakes giving the car a constant velocity of 5m/s2. How far in front of the tree does the car come to rest?

Hi there!

We can use the following equation to solve for displacement:

vf² = vi² + 2ad, where:

vf = final velocity

vi = initial velocity

a = acceleration

d = displacement

Since the car will come to rest, vf = 0, so:

0 = vi² + 2ad

Plug in the given values:

0 = 25² + 2(-5)d (Breaking is a negative acceleration in this instance)

Solve:

0 = 25² - 10d

10d = 625

d = 62.5m

Subtract from the total distance from the car to the tree:

65 - 62.5 = 2.5m

The ball is moving at a constant speed of 0.5 m/s for 2.3 seconds how far does it go?
yarga [219]

Distance = (speed) x (time)

Distance = (0.5 m/s) x (2.3 s)

Distance = (0.5 x 2.3) m

Distance = 1.15 meters
