You are driving to the grocery store at 20 m/s. you are 105 m from an intersection when the traffic light turns red. assume that your reaction time is 0.50 s and that your car brakes with constant acceleration.
(a) how far are you from the intersection when you begin to apply the brakes?
1 m
(b) what acceleration will bring you to rest right at the intersection?
2 m/s2
(c) how long does it take you to stop?

(a) 95m

(b) -2.11m/s^2

(c) 9.5s

Explanation:

(a). out of remaining 105m, for initial 0.5s I travel with constant speed:

  distace covered = 0.5s * 20m/s = 10m

   it means that I am 105-10 = 95m away from the intersection

(b) we apply the second equation of motion

     v^2 - u^2 = 2*a*s

so s = 95 m

     u = initial velocity = 20 m/s

     v = final velocity = 0 m/s ( comes to rest)

     0^2 - 20^2 = 2*a*95

        solving for 'a'

       a = -2.11 m/s^2    

(c)

     v-u = at

      0 - 20 = -2.11*t

solving for time t

 t = 9.5s

the body's situation won't change the forces are equal opposit and on the same body

the moon affects the earth gravitation ally, causing certain motions of that body and also producing tides in its ocean and atmosphere. the tidal wave in our atmosphere is, however, far too minute to be an effective cause in any known meteorological phenomenon.
