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.
A car starts from rest, then accelerates at a constant rate over a distance of 80 m. It then immediately decelerates at a constant rate over a distance of 136 m. The entire trip lasts a total duration of 26.0 s. What were the magnitudes of the cars accelerations for the speedup and slowdown stages respectively?
A car starts from rest with an acceleration of 5.7 m/s² which decreases linearly with time to zero in 8.2 seconds, after which the car continues at a constant speed. Determine the time t required for the car to travel 240 m from the start. Answer: t = i S
Part (a) Enter an expression, in terms of A, B, and t, for the velocity of the particle as a function of time. v(t) = ______ Part (b) At what time, in seconds, is the particle’s velocity zero? t = ______s
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?
Starting from rest at home plate, a baseball player runs to first base (90 ft away). He uniformly accelerates over the first 12.5 ft to his maximum speed, which is then maintained until he crosses first base. If the overall run is completed in 3.7 seconds, determine his maximum speed, the acceleration over the first 12.5 feet, and the time duration of the acceleration. t = 0 Ä & Answers: Vmax a= 12.5 t = i i i 77.5' t = 3.7 sec ft/sec ft/sec² sec
A football player, starting from rest at the line of scrimmage, accelerates along a straight line for a time of 3.49 s. Then, during a negligible amount of time, he changes the magnitude of his acceleration to a value of 1.37 m/s2. With this acceleration, he continues in the same direction for another 1.35 s, until he reaches a speed of 7.64 m/s. What is the value of his acceleration (assumed to be constant) during the initial 3.49 -s period? Number i Units
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.
A car starts from rest with an acceleration of 7.2 m/s² which decreases linearly with time to zero in 9.6 seconds, after which the car continues at a constant speed. Determine the time t required for the car to travel 330 m from the start. Answer: t- i ! S
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?
