The driver of a car traveling at 54 ft/sec suddenly applies the brakes. The position of...
A car is traveling with a constant speed when the driver suddenly applies the brakes, giving the car a deceleration of 3.50m/s2. The car comes to a stop in a distance of 34.0 m. What was an initial speed of the car? How long (the time) did it take for this car to stop? What was the car's speed when it had traveled 17.0 m from the point where the brakes were applied? How long did it take for this...
The driver of a car traveling on the highway suddenly slams on the brakes because of a slowdown in traffic ahead. A) If the car’s speed decreases at a constant rate from 74 mi/h to 50 mi/h in 3.0 s, what is the magnitude of its acceleration, assuming that it continues to move in a straight line? Answer is in mi/h^2 B) What distance does the car travel during the braking period? Answer is in ft
A car is moving at a speed of 60 m/s, when the driver applies the brakes, which causes a deceleration of 2 m/s2. How many seconds will it take for the car to stop and how far will it travel till it stops? 30 sec, 450 meters 25 sec, 800 meters 30 sec, 1800 meters 20 sec, 900 meters 30 sec, 900 meters
A car is 162 m from a stop sign and traveling toward the sign at 27 m/s. At this time, the driver suddenly realizes that she must stop the car. If it takes 0.200 s for the driver to apply the brakes, what must be the magnitude of the constant acceleration of the car after the brakes are applied so that the car will come to rest at the stop sign?
A car traveling at 60mph applies its brakes and stops in 5 seconds. What is its acceleration [ft/sec^2]?
A car is 115 m from a stop sign and traveling toward the sign at 25 m/s when the driver suddenly realizes that she must stop the car and applies the breaks. what must be the constant accelaration of the car after the brakes are applied so that the car will come to rest at the stp sign?
The driver of the truck suddenly applies the brakes and the truck comes to a stop. During braking, either the crate slides or does it not. Considering the forces acting on the truck during braking, will the truck stop in shorter distance (time) if the crate slides, or will the distance (or time) be shorter if it does not?
A car is 137 m from a stop sign and traveling toward the sign at 25 m/s. At this time, the driver suddenly realizes that she must stop the car. If it takes 0.200 s for the driver to apply the brakes, what must be the magnitude of the constant acceleration of the car after the brakes are applied so that the car will come to rest at the stop sign?
The driver of a 1550 kg car, initially traveling at 12.1 m/s, applies the brakes, bringing the car to rest in a distance of 18.5 m. (a) Find the net work done on the car. (b) Find the magnitude and direction of the force that does this work. (Assume this force is constant.)
Problem 3. A car is traveling at a speed of 20 m/s when the driver applies the brakes. The car stops in 5 seconds. How far (in meters) does the car travel in that time? Assume the car's deceleration is constant.
