You are driving your car along a country road at a speed of 23.6 m/s. As you come over the crest of a hill, you notice a farm tractor 25.0 m ahead of you on the road, moving in the same direction as you at a speed of 10.0 m/s. You immediately slam on your brakes and slow down with a constant acceleration of magnitude 7.20 m/s2. How far is the tractor in front of you when you finally stop?
A cat is sleeping on the floor in the middle of a 3.0 m wide room when a barking dog enters with a speed of 1.50 m/s. As the dog enters, the cat immediately accelerates at 0.85 m/s2 toward an open window on the opposite side of the room. The dog is a bit startled by the cat and begins to slow down at 0.10 m/s2 as soon as it enters the room. How far is the cat in front of the dog as it leaps through the window?
I submitted this question at 3:30 and have not seen an answer yet. A rocket engine can accelerate a rocket launched from rest vertically up with an acceleration of 20.0 m/s2. However, after 50.0 s of flight the engine fails. Ignore air resistance. What is the maximum height reached?
A driver is traveling 17.8 m/s when she sees a red light ahead. Her car is capable of decelerating at a rate of 3.55 m/s2. If it takes her 0.420 s to get the brakes on and she is 20.0 m from the intersection when she sees the light, will she be able to stop in time? (tick the right answer) yes no How far from the beginning of the intersection will she be?
A train, traveling at a constant speed of 22.0 m/s, comes to an incline with a constant slope. While going up the incline, the train slows down with a constant acceleration of magnitude 1.40 m/s2. The speed of the train after 6.40 s on the incline is 13.0 m/s How far has the train traveled up the incline after 6.40 s?
Driving down the road at a speed of 30.1 m/s, you suddenly notice a fallen tree blocking the road a distance of 78.5m ahead of you. You step on the brake pedal and decelerate at a constant rate. What must the magnitude of your acceleration be so that you will come to a stop 7.1 m in front of the tree?
While driving at 45.0 mi/hr (20.1 m/s) on a straight portion of Route 9 West, Randi notices that the traffic light has turned red at the intersection directly ahead. Randi applies his brakes, slows his car down at a steady rate, and brings his car to rest, while traveling the 60.0 m distance to the stop line (at the red light). 21. While he is slowing down, the acceleration of Randi's car has a magnitude of A. 6.73 m, В. 16.9 m 2. 169 m/: А. С. 33,8 т D. 9.80 m E. 3.37 m / 22. How much time passes as Randi's car slows down from 45.0 mi/hr to 0 m/s? A. 20.68 s. B. 5.97 s. C. 2.66 s. D. 2.99 s. E. 0.596 s. 23. While Randi's car is slowing down, his car's acceleration is A. directed straight down towards the Earth's center. B. equal to zero. C. directed straight upwards. D. directed parallel to the car's velocity. E. directed antiparallel to the car's velocity.
A car accelerates in the +x direction from rest with a constant acceleration of a1 = 1.92 m/s2 for t1 = 20 s. At that point the driver notices a tree limb that has fallen on the road and brakes hard with a constant acceleration of a2 = -9.3 m/s2. If the limb is on the road at a distance of 550 meters from where the car begins its initial acceleration, will the car hit the limb?
A car is 126 m from a stop sign and traveling toward the sign at 29 m/s. At this time, the driver suddenly realizes that she must stop the car. If it takes 0.200 s for the driver to apply the brakes, what must be the magnitude of the constant acceleration of the car after the brakes are applied so that the car will come to rest at the stop sign?
A train, traveling at a constant speed of 22.0 m/s, comes to an incline with a constant slope. While going up the incline, the train slows down with a constant acceleration of magnitude 1.40 m/s2. What is the speed of the train after 7.40 s on the incline?
You are walking over to where you think the bus stop is at the bottom of the hill. You are standing at rest at a bus stop. The bus is moving at a constant speed of 5.00 m/s and passes you. When the rear of the bus is 12 m past you, you realize that you were standing at the wrong spot, so you start to rin toward it with a constant acceleration of 0.92 m/s^2. The door of the bus is 5 m in front of the rear of the bus. A) How far would you have to run befire you catch up to the door of the bus to make it to class? B) How fast must you be running then when you catch the bus?
An object is initially at rest and accelerates at a rate of 3.50 m/s² in the positive x-direction. What amount of time does it take the object to move 50.0 m from its initial location? 7.14 s 4.52 s 5.34 s 3.78 s 6.48 s
