An initially motionless test car is accelerated uniformly to 120 km/h in 8.38 s before striking a simulated deer. The car is in contact with the faux fawn for 0.635 s, after which the car is measured to be traveling at 76.5 km/h. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the car before the collision? acceleration before collision: ? What is the magnitude of the average acceleration of the car during the collision? average acceleration during collision: ? What is the magnitude of the average acceleration of the car during the entire test, from when the car first begins moving until the collision is over? average acceleration during entire test: ?

Question
An initially motionless test car is accelerated uniformly to 120 km/h in 8.38 s before striking a simulated deer. The car is in contact with the faux fawn for 0.635 s, after which the car is measured to be traveling at 76.5 km/h. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the car before the collision?
acceleration before collision: ?
What is the magnitude of the average acceleration of the car during the collision?
average acceleration during collision: ?
What is the magnitude of the average acceleration of the car during the entire test, from when the car first begins moving until the collision is over?
average acceleration during entire test: ?
Expert Solution
Step 1

Apply the first kinematic equation before the collision to determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the car.
