You are traveling at 50 mph (22 m/s) when you see that far ahead traffic has come to a stop. You press on the brake causing an acceleration (deceleration) of -3.3 m/s^2 until you come to a stop.

How much time does it take to come to a stop after you began braking? (answer to the nearest 0.1 second, giving the numerical value without units)

    020 (part 1 of 3) 10.0 points You are driving at the speed of 34.8 m/s (77.862 mph) when suddenly the car in front of you (previously traveling at the same speed) brakes and begins to slow down with the largest deceleration possible without skid- ding. Considering an average human reaction, you press your brakes 0.576 s later. You also brake and decelerate as rapidly as possible without skidding. Assume that the coefficient of static friction is 0.722 between both...

    An automobile is traveling along a straight road heading to the southeast at 24 m/s when the driver sees a deer begin to cross the road ahead of her. She steps on the brake and brings the car to a complete stop in an elapsed time of 8.0 s. A data recording device, triggered by the sudden braking action, records the following velocities and times as the car slows. Let the positive x-axis be directed to the southeast. Plot a...

    Please show work 3. A car traveling at a constant 39 m/s (-87 mph) passes a police car that is initially traveling at 25 m/s (55 mph). At the instant of the pass, the police car accelerates at a constant rate of 3.3 m/s in pursuit. We wish to find how much time elapses before the officer catches the car. (a) Identify the initial states when the car passes the police. (b) Define the final state or conditions which enable...
