The brakes are applied to a moving van, causing it to uniformly slow down. While slowing, it moves a distance of 40.0 m in 7.90 s to a final velocity of 2.00 m/s, at which point the brakes are released.
(a)
What was its initial speed (in m/s), just before the brakes were applied?
m/s
(b)
What was its acceleration (in m/s2) while the brakes were applied? (Assume the initial direction of motion is the positive direction. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)
m/s2
Given
the van moving with initial velocity v1 , final velocity is
v2
v1=? , v2 = 2.0 m/s
distance covered in time t = 7.90 s is , s = 40.0 m
a)What was its initial speed (in m/s), just before the brakes were applied?
m/s = v1
From work energy theorem the work done by the brakes makes
the van, change in its kinetic energh
that is W = k2-k1
F*s = k2-k1
m*a*s = k2-k1
m (v2-v1)/(t2-t1) *s = k2-k1
m (v2-v1)/(t2-t1) *s = 0.5*m(v2^2-v1^2)
2(v2-v1)/(t2-t1) *s = (v2^2-v1^2)
2(v2-v1)/(t2-t1) *s = (v2+v1)(v2-v1)
2*s/(dT) = (v2+v1)
v1 = (2*s/dT)-v2
substituting the values
v1 m/s = (2*40 m)/(7.9s) - (2m/s)
v1 = 8.127 m/s
the initial velocity of the van is v1 = 8.127 m/s
b) From equations of motions
v = u+at
a = v-u/t
a = (2m/s-8.127m/s)/(7.90s)
a = -0.77557 m/s2
the acceleration (in m/s2) of the wan while the brakes were applied
is a = -0.77557 m/s2

A handbrake is applied to a rotating wheel, initially moving counterclockwise, causing it to slow down with a constant angular acceleration of magnitude 5.20 rad/s2. Immediately after the handbrake is applied, the wheel rotates through 57.9 rad during a 4.00 s time interval. What is the angular speed (in rad/s) of the wheel at the end of this time interval?
