On a one lane road, a person driving a car at v1 = 58 mi/h suddenly notices a truck 1.1 mi in front of him. That truck is moving in the same direction at v2 = 35 mi/h. In order to avoid a collision, the person has to reduce the speed of his car to v2 during time interval Δt. The smallest magnitude of acceleration required for the car to avoid a collision is a. During this problem, assume the direction of motion of the car is the positive direction. 1. Use the expressions you entered in parts (c) and (f) and enter an expression for a in terms of d, v1, and v2. a = ( v2 - v1 )/Δt Δt = ( 2 ) ( d )/( v1 - v2 ) 2. Calculate the value of a in meters per second squared.
A car starts from rest with an acceleration of 7.7 m/s² which decreases linearly with time to zero in 10.7 seconds, after which the car continues at a constant speed. Determine the time t required for the car to travel 560 m from the start. Answer: t = i S
Problem 1. You are driving at 31.0 m/s when the truck ahead of you comes to a halt 200.0 m away from your bumper. Your brakes are in poor condition and you decelerate at a constant rate of 2.5 m/s. (a) How close do you come to the bumper of the truck? (b) How long does it take you to come to a stop? (c) Graph v versus t for the motion.
A car starts from rest with an acceleration of 5.7 m/s² which decreases linearly with time to zero in 8.2 seconds, after which the car continues at a constant speed. Determine the time t required for the car to travel 240 m from the start. Answer: t = i S
Assume you are driving a car at a constant speed of 76 km/h. Suddenly you see a deer standing on the highway and you must put on the brakes. Your reaction time (time elapsed between the moment you see the deer and your foot hitting the brakes) is 0.118 s. The brakes provide an acceleration with a magnitude of 4 m/s2, and a direction opposite the initial velocity. How do you find the total distance traveled?
Starting from rest at home plate, a baseball player runs to first base (90 ft away). He uniformly accelerates over the first 12.5 ft to his maximum speed, which is then maintained until he crosses first base. If the overall run is completed in 3.7 seconds, determine his maximum speed, the acceleration over the first 12.5 feet, and the time duration of the acceleration. t = 0 Ä & Answers: Vmax a= 12.5 t = i i i 77.5' t = 3.7 sec ft/sec ft/sec² sec
A football player, starting from rest at the line of scrimmage, accelerates along a straight line for a time of 3.49 s. Then, during a negligible amount of time, he changes the magnitude of his acceleration to a value of 1.37 m/s2. With this acceleration, he continues in the same direction for another 1.35 s, until he reaches a speed of 7.64 m/s. What is the value of his acceleration (assumed to be constant) during the initial 3.49 -s period? Number i Units
A train is initially travelling along a straight track at a steady speed of 30 m s¯¹. At time t = 0.00 s a signal ahead turns red. It takes the driver 0.60 s to react and apply the brakes. Once the brakes are hit, the train decelerates with a constant acceleration of magnitude 9.0 m s2 until it comes to rest. What is the total distance travelled by the train in the period between the signal turning to red and the train coming to rest? Give your answer by entering a number (correct to an appropriate number of significant figures) in the empty box below. Total distance travelled = m.
A car starts from rest with an acceleration of 7.2 m/s² which decreases linearly with time to zero in 9.6 seconds, after which the car continues at a constant speed. Determine the time t required for the car to travel 330 m from the start. Answer: t- i ! S

An ambulance driver is rushing a patient to the hospital. While traveling at 71.1 km/h, she notices the traffic light at the upcoming intersection has turned yellow. To reach the intersection before the light turns red, she must travel 52 m in 2.17 seconds. What is the magnitude of the minimum acceleration, in m/s2, required to reach the intersection before the light turns red?
