On a one lane road, a person driving a car at v1 = 58 mi/h suddenly notices a truck 1.1 mi in front of him. That truck is moving in the same direction at v2 = 35 mi/h. In order to avoid a collision, the person has to reduce the speed of his car to v2 during time interval Δt. The smallest magnitude of acceleration required for the car to avoid a collision is a. During this problem, assume the direction of motion of the car is the positive direction. 1. Use the expressions you entered in parts (c) and (f) and enter an expression for a in terms of d, v1, and v2. a = ( v2 - v1 )/Δt Δt = ( 2 ) ( d )/( v1 - v2 ) 2. Calculate the value of a in meters per second squared.
Problem 1. You are driving at 31.0 m/s when the truck ahead of you comes to a halt 200.0 m away from your bumper. Your brakes are in poor condition and you decelerate at a constant rate of 2.5 m/s. (a) How close do you come to the bumper of the truck? (b) How long does it take you to come to a stop? (c) Graph v versus t for the motion.
Assume you are driving a car at a constant speed of 76 km/h. Suddenly you see a deer standing on the highway and you must put on the brakes. Your reaction time (time elapsed between the moment you see the deer and your foot hitting the brakes) is 0.118 s. The brakes provide an acceleration with a magnitude of 4 m/s2, and a direction opposite the initial velocity. How do you find the total distance traveled?
A train is initially travelling along a straight track at a steady speed of 30 m s¯¹. At time t = 0.00 s a signal ahead turns red. It takes the driver 0.60 s to react and apply the brakes. Once the brakes are hit, the train decelerates with a constant acceleration of magnitude 9.0 m s2 until it comes to rest. What is the total distance travelled by the train in the period between the signal turning to red and the train coming to rest? Give your answer by entering a number (correct to an appropriate number of significant figures) in the empty box below. Total distance travelled = m.
The velocity of a particle moving along the x-axis varies in time according to the expression v(t) = α - βt2 where α = 52.9m/s , β = 3.72m/s3, and t is in seconds. a) Find the acceleration in the time interval from t = 0 to 2.97s in units of m/s2 b) Determine the acceleration of the particle tf = 2.97s in m/s2
An ambulance driver is rushing a patient to the hospital. While traveling at 71.1 km/h, she notices the traffic light at the upcoming intersection has turned yellow. To reach the intersection before the light turns red, she must travel 52 m in 2.17 seconds. What is the magnitude of the minimum acceleration, in m/s2, required to reach the intersection before the light turns red?
A blue car travels down a straight road at a constant speed of 19.1 m/s. As they pass a red car, initially stopped on the side of the road, the red car speeds up at a rate of 2.02 m/s2. How much distance (in m) does the red car travel before it overtakes the blue car?
