Question
A mountain biker cycling a trail traveling at 5.4 m/s begins to slow down when she notices a wooden bridge ahead has flooded. If she begins braking when she is 15.0 m from the bridge and comes to a stop just before reaching the bridge, how long did it take her to stop?

- a driver sees a deer in front of his car about 100.0 meters in front of him. the driver was traveling 50.0m/s before applying the brakes and coming to rest right where the deer was. what acceleration did the driver experience? answer in m/s2?arrow_forwardYou and your family are going on a road trip to visit your recently married cousin in B.C. The total round trip distance is 2100 km. On the way to B.C., you encounter no setbacks and you are able to drive on average at a constant speed. On the way home from B.C., you encounter a snowstorm and your mom has to slow down to avoid getting into an accident. Thus, your average speed decreases by 10 km/h. If the total driving time was 42 hours, what was your average speed on the way to B.C.? Recall distance = speed x time.arrow_forwardThe driver of a truck slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. The truck slows down uniformly with an acceleration of -5.60 m/s2 for 4.20 s, making skid marks 62.4 m long that end at the tree. With what speed does the truck then strike the tree?arrow_forward
- A police car waits in hiding slightly off the highway. A speeding car is spotted by the police car doing 40 m/s. At the instant the speeding car passes the police car, the police car accelerates from rest at 4 m/s² to catch the speeding car. How long does it take the police car to catch the speeding car?arrow_forwardA car is traveling at 30.0 m/s when the driver sees a deer in the road. She takes 0.80 s to react, then steps on the brakes and slows at 7.0 m/s2. How far does the car go before it stops?arrow_forwardA train, traveling at a constant speed of 25 m/s, comes to an incline with a constant slope. While going up the incline, the train slows down with a constant acceleration of magnitude 1.8 m/s2. What is the speed of the train after 8.0 s on the incline?arrow_forward
- A racing car is used to test its suspensions and brakes. in a manufacture process. Itis raced and jumped over a ramp. It flies and further on lands at a speed of 44.4m/s. It then slows down at a rate of 15m/s?. How much road is required to bring the car to a complete stop? The car lands 70 meters away from a nearby beach. Will the car run into water?arrow_forwardYou slam on the gas of your racecar and you accelerate at 12 m/s2 from rest to a final velocity of 48 m/s How far will you travel during this acceleration. There IS enough information to find the answer, use your tools.arrow_forward
