An object moves in a circular path at a constant speed. What is the relationship between the directions of the object's velocity and acceleration vectors? The velocity and acceleration vectors point in opposite directions. The velocity and acceleration vectors are perpendicular. The velocity vector points in a direction tangent to the circular path. The acceleration is zero. The velocity vector points toward the center of the circular path. The acceleration is zero. The velocity and acceleration vectors point in the...
You are in your favorite elevator, coming to a stop as you go from the ground floor to the 4th floor. a) What forces are acting on you as you are coming to a stop in the elevator? Normal force upward and Force of gravity upward Normal force downward and Force of gravity upward Normal force downward and Force of gravity downward Normal force upward and Force of gravity downward Just the Force of gravity downward b) As you are...
A car moving at 48 m/s brakes to a stop in 6 seconds. What is its acceleration?
The driver of a car of mass M which is moving along a straight road with initial speed v0 sees a deer in her headlights, and reacts quickly, lifting her foot of the gas and applying the brake pedal with maximum force. The anti-lock brakes cause the largest possible static friction force to be applied on the tires by the road, which continue to roll so the car does not skid. The coefficient of static friction between the tires and...
What average force is required to stop a 1700 kg car in 9.0 s if the car is traveling at 85 km/h ? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. Enter positive value if the direction of the force is in the direction of the initial velocity and negative value if the direction of the force is in the direction opposite to the initial velocity.
3. During a very quick stop, a car decelerates at 6.2 m/s2. Assume the forward motion of the car corresponds to a positive direction for the rotation of the tires (and that they do not slip on the pavement). a. What is the angular acceleration of its tires in rad/s2, assuming they have a radius of 0.28 m and do not slip on the pavement? b. How many revolutions do the tires make before coming to rest, given their initial...
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 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?
A 750 kg car slows to a stop from traveling southbound at 30 m/s over a distance of 500 m. What was the acceleration needed to stop the car? How large was the force required to stop the car? Two cables are being used to pull a 100 kg sled on a frictionless surface. The first cable has a tension of 500 N in a direction 15o south of east. The other cable has a tension of 800 N in...
A truck moving at 35.0 mph collides head on with a car traveling in the opposite direction. The mass of the car is 550 kg, the mass of the truck is 2200 kg. During the collision both vehicles come to a stop in 0.150 s as the front end of both vehicles’ crumples. What was the acceleration of the car? Assume that during the collision the acceleration of each vehicle is constant. Also, assume that frictional force are small compared...
