(2 + 2 + 2 = 6 marks) While driving on highway 401 you see a traffic jam ahead. Not wanting to apply the brake, you take your foot off the gas and let the car slow down on its own. Your acceleration is -4.0 m/s2 (remember you are slowing down) and the mass of the car is 1 200 kg. a) How much frictional force acted to slow down the car? b) While slowing down, the car travels 85...
EXERCISE You are traveling along an interstate highway at 35.0 m/s (about 79 mph) when a truck stops suddenly in front of you. You immediately apply your brakes and cut your speed in half after 5.0 s. Hint (a) What was your acceleration (in m/s2), assuming it was constant? (Assume you are initially traveling in the positive direction. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) -3.5 m/s2 (b) How long (in s) did it take you to stop...
2-6 Solving Problems (try it!) Example 2-12: Braking Distances Estimate the stopping distance for a car that is traveling at an initial velocity of 14 m/s (-31mi/h). The driver has a reaction time of 0.50 s before applying the brakes, after which the car slows down at a constant rate of 6.0 m/s2.

Stopping sight distance (SSD) is defined as the distance needed for a driver to see an object on the roadway and then stop before colliding with it. It's composed of the distance to react on first seeing the object and then the distance to stop after the brake is engaged. The following is a formula for determining stopping sight distance: ssi) = (. | c:/ + |-. SSD is the stopping sight distance (m or ft e is the conversion...
You're driving down the highway late one night at 20 m/s when a deer steps onto the road 36 m in front of you. Your reaction time before stepping on the brakes is 0.50 s , and the maximum deceleration of your car is 10 m/s2 . How much distance is between you and the deer when you come to a stop?
please tell me the answer and process. Thank you!!
ou're driving down the highway late one night at 30 m/s when you spot a deer in brakes is 0.35s and the maximum deceleration of your car is 8.0 m/s. the road some distance in front of you. Your reaction time before stepping on the a) What is the total distance covered by your car from the time you first see the (8pts) deer to when you are at a complete...
You're driving down the highway late one night at 15 m/s when a deer steps onto the road 44 m in front of you. Your reaction time before stepping on the brakes is 0.50 s , and the maximum deceleration of your car is 12 m/s2 . How much distance is between you and the deer when you come to a stop? What is the maximum speed you could have and still not hit the deer?
2. [20| Consider the car stopping distance example we studied in Section 2.2, with the model 2 where d is the stopping distance, v is the velocity of the car before braking, tr is the response time, and k is a coefficient related to the ratio of the braking force and the mass fo the car. (a) [5] Fit the model (i.e, determine the parameters t and k) to the data in the first column and the last column of...
Suppose you are driving a car in a counterclockwise direction on a circular road whose radius is r 28 m/s (about 63 mi/h) 385 m (see the figure). You look at the speedometer and it reads a steady T(decreasing) (a) Constant angular speed (b) Decreasing angular speed Concepts (i) Does an object traveling at a constant tangential speed (for example, vT= 28 m/s) along a circular path have an acceleration? Yes No (ii) Is there a tangential acceleration aT when...
Problem 2 (40%). While driving, some of a car's kinetic energy is lost to air drag. We would like to estimate the importance of air drag using dimensional analysis and the Buck- ingham a theorem. The relevant parameters are the drag force (FD), the frontal surface area (A) and velocity of the car (v), as well as the density of air (Pair = 1 kg/m3). Answer the following questions: 1. Derive the expression of the drag force as a function...
