24. A car is travelling along an expressway at 90 km/h. The driver spots a stalled car and some traffic congestion on the road ahead, and so applies the brakes. The braking action causes a frictional force of 8400 N to act on the 1050 kg car. (a) What is the acceleration of the car when the brakes are applied? (b) How long does it take for the car to stop? (c) How far does the car travel while it is braking?

Answer from: Geo777

A. The acceleration of the car when the brakes were applied is –8 m/s².

B. The time taken for the car to stop is 3.13 s.

C. The distance travelled by the car while the brakes were applied is 39.06 m.

A. Determination of the acceleration of car.

Force (F) = –8400 N (opposite direction)

Mass (m) = 1050 kg

Acceleration (a) =?

Force = mass × acceleration

–8400 = 1050 × a

Divide both side by 1050

a = –8400 / 1050

a = –8 m/s²

NOTE: The negative sign indicates that the car is coming to rest.

B. Determination of the time taken for the car to stop.

Initial velocity (u) = 90 Km/h = (90 × 1000)/3600 = 25 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Acceleration (a) = –8 m/s²

Time (t) =?

v = u + at

0 = 25 + (–8 × t)

0 = 25 – 8t

Collect like terms

0 – 25 = –8t

–25 = –8t

Divide both side by –8

t = –25 / –8

t = 3.13 s

Therefore, the time taken for the car to stop is 3.13 s

C. Determination of the distance travelled by the car.

Initial velocity (u) = 25 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Acceleration (a) = –8 m/s²

Distance (s) =?

v² = u² + 2as

0² = 25² + (2 × –8 × s)

0 = 625 – 16s

Collect like terms

0 – 625 = –16

–625 = –165

Divide both side by –16

s = –625 / –16

s = 39.06 m

Therefore, the distance travelled by the car is 39.06 m

Answer from: madivassallo

See explanation

Explanation:

We convert the speed of the car to ms-1

90 × 1000/3600 = 25 ms-1

a) from;

F= ma

a= F/m

a= 8400/1050 = 8 ms-2

b) from

v= u - at

v= 0

u = 25 ms-1

a= 8 ms-2

t= ?

t = u/a = 25/8 = 3.1 s

From;

v^2 = u^2 - 2as

v= 0 ms-1

u^2 = 2as

s = u^2/2a

s= (25)^2/2 × 8

s= 625/16

s = 39 m

answer: the rock sample is a sedimentary rock.

explanation:

it is given that:

mass of rock sample, m = 2.7 g

volume of rock sample, $v = 1.1 cm^{3}$

so, density of rock sample will be

$density = \frac{mass}{volume}$

$\rho =\frac{2.7}{1.1}g/cm^{3}\\\\\rho =2.45 g/cm^{3}$

since, the density of rock sample is $2.45 g/cm^{3}$ . hence, the rock sample is a sedimentary rock, whose densities varies between $2g/cm^{3} - 2.6 g/cm^{3}$ .

Answer from: Quest

see the picture for the vector

the magnitude of the vector by pythagorean theorem

r = √( (-10)^2 + (3)^2 ) = √109

magnitude = √109 units

the direction angle between vector and x-axis is

tan^(-1)(3/10) = 16.699

so the direction is approximately 16.7 degrees north of west

Acave rescue team lifts an injured spelunker directly upward and out of a sinkhole by means of a motor-driven cable. the lift is performed in three stages, each requiring a vertical distance of 11.0 m: (a) the initially stationary spelunker is accelerated to a speed of 4.80 m/s; (b) he is then lifted at the constant speed of 4.80 m/s; (c) finally he is decelerated to zero speed. how much work is done on the 78.0 kg rescue by the force lifting him during each stage

1point) a skydiver weighing 130 lb (including equipment) falls vertically downward from an altitude of 14,000 ft and opens the parachute after 20 s of free fall. assume that the force of air resistance, which is directed opposite to the velocity, is of magnitude 0.85|v|0.85|v| when the parachute is closed and is of magnitude 17|v|17|v| when the parachute is open, where the velocity vv is measured in ft/s. assume that acceleration due to gravity has magnitude 32 ft/s/s; remember that weight is the product of mass and gravitational acceleration. find the speed of the skydiver when the parachute opens. speed is 150.6121788 ft/s find the skydiver's height when the parachute opens. height is 2338.98591 ft find the limiting velocity vlvl after the parachute opens. (think about whether this should be positive or negative.) vl=vl= 7.647 ft/s
