- A driver of a car slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. The car slows uniformly with an acceleration of 5.60 m/s2 for 4 seconds, making straight skid marks 62.4 m long, all the way to the tree. With what speed does the car then strike the tree?arrow_forwardhits the ball and gives it a velocity of 51 m/s to the north. the ball during the 1.0 x 10-³s when it was in contact with the bat?

After 0.401 s has elapsed (the reaction time), the driver applies the brakes, and the car decelerates at 4.00 m/s². What is the stopping distance of the car, as measured from the point where the driver first notices the red light?

A ball has an initial velocity of 1.50 m/s along the x-axis. Starting at t,-0, the ball receives an acceleration of 2.8 m/s in the y-direction. Find the following: a) What is the position and distance from the starting point of the ball 3.0 seconds after ,? b) What is the velocity in both magnitude and direction of the ball at 3.0 seconds? c) Provide a plot of position vs time from ,=0 to t=3.0seconds.
