11. A driver travelling at 100 km h¹ on a straight road suddenly sees a cow 32 m ahead
and immediately applies the brake. His braking deceleration is 6 m s². Calculate the
speed when the car hits the cow. [19.7 m s'¹]
minimum time that he should apply the brake so that he does not hit
the cow. [4.6 s]
(i)
(ii)
12. The car continues to travel at a speed of 72 km h¹¹ when it reaches the highway.
Suddenly the driver steps on the brake when he saw a fallen tree on the road at 60.0 m
in front of him. The car experiences a deceleration of 5 ms2. Will the car stop before it
hits the tree?
13. A marble is tossed vertically upward to the air from the surface of the ground with an
initial velocity of 15 m s¹. Calculate
a)
the maximum height achieved by the marble. [11.47 m]
b)
the time taken by the marble to reach the maximum height. [1.53 s]
