A car moving initially at a speed of 52.0 mi/h and weighing 3,000 lb is brought to a stop in a distance of 205 ft. Find (a) the breaking force (b) the time required to stop. Assuming the same braking force find (a) the distance and (d) the time required to stop if the car were going 26.0mi/h initially. (Hint: Convert to SI units)
vi = 52 mi/h
= 52*1609/(60*60) m/s
= 23.2 m/s
vf = 0
d = 205 ft
= 205*0.3048
= 62.5 m
m = 3000 lb
= 3000*0.0.4536
= 1361 kg
acceleration of the car, a = (vf^2 - vi^2)/(2*a)
= (0^2 - 23.2^2)/(2*62.5)
= -4.3 m/s^2
a) Breaking force, F = m*|a|
= 1361*4.3
= 5852 N
b) t = (vf - vi)/a
= (0 - 23.2)/(-4.3)
= 5.40 s
c) vi = 26*1609/(60*60) m/s
= 11.6 m/s
d = (vf^2 - vi^2)/(2*a)
= (0^2 - 11.6^2)/(2*(-4.3))
= 15.6 m
d) t = (vf - vi)/a
= (0 - 11.6)/(-4.3)
= 2.70 s

A car that weighs 1.4×104 N is initially moving at a speed of 50 km/h when the brakes are applied and the car is brought to a stop in 15 m. Assuming that the force that stops the car is constant, find the magnitude of that force. Incorrect. Tries 5/20 Previous Tries Find the time required for the change in speed. Tries 0/20 If the initial speed is, instead, twice as great, and the car experiences the same force during...
Chapter 5 Q:6 A car that weighs 1.2 x 104 N is initially moving at a speed of 37 km/h when the brakes are applied and the car is brought to a stop in 20 m. Assuming that the force that stops the car is constant, find (a) the magnitude of that force and (b) the time required for the change in speed. If the initial speed is doubled, and the car experiences the same force during the braking, by...
An automobile weighing 4000 lb is driven down a 5° incline at a speed of 60 mi/h when the breaks are applied, causing a constant breaking force of 1500 lb. Determine the distance traveled by the automobile as it comes to stop.
The minimum distance required to stop a car moving at 40.0 mi/h is 38.0 ft. What is the minimum stopping distance for the same car moving at 72.0 mi/h, assuming the same rate of acceleration? ft
