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.)
a)
work done = change in kinetic energy
= 0.5*m*(Vf^2 - Vi^2)
where, Vf is fianl velocity that is 0
so,
work done = 0.5*1550*(0 - (12.1)^2)
= -0.5*1550*146.41
= -113467.75 J
since, work is scalar quantity
so,
work done = 113467.75 J
= 113.5 KJ
b)
use,
work done = F*d
113467.75 = F*18.5
F = 6133.39 N
= 6.13 kN
since, velocity decreases
so, force will be in opposite direction of motion of car
so,
F = -6.13 kN

A car of mass 772 kg is traveling 24.4 m/s when the driver applies the brakes, which lock the wheels. The car skids for 5.27 s in the positive x-direction before coming to rest. a). What is the car's acceleration (in m/s2)? (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) b). What magnitude force (in N) acted on the car during this time? c). How far (in m) did the car travel?
A car of mass 875 kg is traveling 30.0 m/s when the driver applies the brakes, which lock the wheels. The car skids for 5.60 s in the positive -direction before coming to rest. (a) What is the car's acceleration? (b) What magnitude force acted on the car during this time? (c) How far did the car travel? [Ans: ()-536 m/s (b) 4690 N(c) 84,0 m]
The driver of a 1.19 103 kg car traveling on the interstate at 35.0 m/s (nearly 80.0 mph) slams on his brakes to avoid hitting a second vehicle in front of him, which had come to rest because of congestion ahead. After the brakes are applied, a constant kinetic friction force of magnitude 7.96 103 N acts on the car. Ignore air resistance. (a) At what minimum distance should the brakes be applied to avoid a collision with the other...
1. A car is traveling at 36 km/hr and the driver puts on the brakes, bringing the car to rest in a time of 2s. What is the magnitude of the average acceleration of the car.
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.
The driver of a car traveling at 54 ft/sec suddenly applies the brakes. The position of the car is s=54t-31, 1 seconds after the driver applies the brakes. How many seconds after the driver applies the brakes does the car come to a stop? O A. 54 sec OB. 9 sec O C. 27 sec OD. 18 sec
A car has a mass of 1500 kg. If the driver applies the brakes while on a gravel road, the maximum friction force that the tires can provide without skidding is about 7000 N. If the car is moving at 22 m/s, what is the shortest distance in which the car can stop safely?
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...
