A car is traveling at a speed of 30 m/s, a typical highway speed, on wet pavement. The driver sees an obstacle ahead and decides to stop. From this instant, it takes him 0.75 s to begin applying the brakes. Once the brakes are applied, the car experiences an acceleration of -6.0 m/s2. How far does the car travel from the instant the driver notices the obstacle until it stops?
Hi, I am doing problem number 2 from the end of the chapter questions in my textbook. The problem reads as such: "An 18-year-old runner can complete a 10.0-km course with an average speed of 4.39 m/s. A 50-year-old runner can cover the same distance with an average speed of 4.27 m/s. How much later (in seconds) should the younger runner start in order to finish the course at the same time as the older runner?" I am looking at the solution for the problem and I did everything right except the last step. The solution says to subtract the time found for the 18 year old to run 10km from the time found for the 50 year old to run 10km. However, I divided the anwers I found. Why are we subtracting the answers from one another and not dividing them? Thank you!
Hugo and Big John are in a paw race. When Hugo is 22 m from the finish line, he has a speed of 4.0 m/s and is 5.0 m behind Big John, who has a speed of 5.0 m/s. Big John thinks he has an easy win and so, during the remaining portion of the race, decelerates at a constant rate of 0.50 m/s² to the finish line. What constant acceleration does Hugo now need during the remaining portion of the race, if he wishes to cross the finish line side-by-side with Big John?
A black mamba snake has a length of 2.67 m and a top speed of 3.80 m/s. Suppose a mongoose and a black mamba find themselves nose to nose. In an effort to escape, the snake accelerates at 4.73 m/s2 from rest. How much time does it take the snake to reach its top speed and how far does the snake travel in that time?
the cat is being chased by a dog; they are running at 6m/s when they encounter a wall. The cat bounces off the wall and runs at 4m/s in the opposite direction, The cat is in contact with wall for only 0.05 seconds. What is the magnitude of the average acceleration of Steve while in contact with the wall?
Marie-Philip Poulin begins from rest at one end of a 65 m long ice rink. She skates in a straight horizontal line and reaches the other end after 6.14s. She begins by accelerating with constant acceleration for 2.09 s before reaching top speed. She then continues at her top speed until she reaches the end of the rink. What is her speed when she reaches the end of the ice rink?
A train has a length of 88.4 m and starts from rest with a constant acceleration at time t = 0 s. At this instant, a car just reaches the end of the train. The car is moving with a constant velocity. At a time t = 10.4 s, the car just reaches the front of the train. Ultimately, however, the train pulls ahead of the car, and at time t = 34.6 s, the car is again at the rear of the train. Find the magnitudes of (a) the car's velocity and (b) the train's acceleration. (a) Number i (b) Number Save for Later Units Units Attempts: 0 of 1 used Submit Answer
A man runs as the speed of 4.0 m/s to overtake a standing bus. When he is 6.0 m behind the door (at t=0),the bus moves forward and continues with a constant acceleration of 1.2 m/s2. How long does it take for the man to gain the door? If in the beginning, he is 10.0 m from the door, will he (running at the same speed) ever catch up?
A car starts from rest at a stop sign. It accelerates at 4.0 m/s2 for 6.0 s, coasts for 2.0 s, and then slows down at a rate of 3.0 m/s2 for the next stop sign. How far apart are the stop signs?
A car and a truck start from rest at the same instant with the car initially at some distance behind the truck. The truck has a constant acceleration of 1.20m/s2 and the car acceleration of 1.80m/s2. The car overtakes the truck after the truck has moved 45m. How far was the car behind the truck initially?
A tortoise and hare start from rest and have a race. As the race begins, both accelerate forward. The hare accelerates uniformly at a rate of 1 m/s2 for 4.7 seconds. It then continues at a constant speed for 11.9 seconds, before getting tired and slowing down with constant acceleration coming to rest 82 meters from where it started. The tortoise accelerates uniformly for the entire distance, finally catching the hare just as the hare comes to a stop. 1) How fast is the hare going 2.4 seconds after it starts? 2) How fast is the hare going 13.5 seconds after it starts? 3) How far does the hare travel before it begins to slow down? 4) What is the acceleration of the hare once it begins to slow down? 5) What is the total time the hare is moving? 6) What is the acceleration of the tortoise?
A sprinter accelerates from rest to a top speed with an acceleration whose magnitude is 3.78m/s2. After achieving top speed, he runs the remainder of the race without speeding up or slowing down. The total race is fifty meters long. If the total race is run in 8.38 s, how far does he run during the acceleration phase?
