Answer:
a) a = 3.72 m / s², b) a = -18.75 m / s²
Explanation:
a) Let's use kinematics to find the acceleration before the collision
v = v₀ + at
as part of rest the v₀ = 0
a = v / t
Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system
v = 115 km / h (1000 m / 1km) (1h / 3600s)
v = 31.94 m / s
v₂ = 60 km / h = 16.66 m / s
l
et's calculate
a = 31.94 / 8.58
a = 3.72 m / s²
b) For the operational average during the collision let's use the relationship between momentum and momentum
I = Δp
F Δt = m v_f - m v₀
F =
F = m [16.66 - 31.94] / 0.815
F = m (-18.75)
Having the force let's use Newton's second law
F = m a
-18.75 m = m a
a = -18.75 m / s²
if we are walking on a perfectly smooth ground which has no friction our force would simply cancel out the force reverted by the ground and we would fall.
We need it to help push out feet off the ground
Hope those helps :)
Ideally the resistance should be ZERO
The formula we need to use is displacement.
, where xf is final position and xi is initial position.
We report the final position of 5 and the displacement of 2 so the formula is now:
.
So the initial position of truck A is 3.
Hope this helps.
