Question
Traveling with an initial speed of 70 km/h, a car accelerates at 6000 km/h 2 along
a straight road. How long will it take to reach a speed of 120 km/h? Also, through what distance
does the car travel during this time?
A sketch of the scenario should be created by you to enhance your work
translate the SI units of speed to English Imperial Units and take the opportunity to
comment on your efforts on how these speeds and accelerations compare with your own
understanding of speed and velocity when you have been in a moving vehicle

- I do not understand how to do this question: The answer is G>H>C>F>B>D>E>A but I do not understand why that is the correct answer. Could you explain the formulas used for solving this? Eight cars move along smooth horizontal roadways in the same direction at specified speeds, v, toward identical barriers. All the cars have the same size and shape, but carry different loads and, hence, have different masses, m. The cars collide with the barriers and come to a stop after having traveled some distance. Assume the force exerted on each of the cars by their respective barrier is the same. Rank the situations described here from greatest to smallest according to the stopping distance of each vehicle. If any situations yield the same stopping distance, give them the same ranking. (Use only ">" or "=" symbols. Do not include any parentheses around the letters or symbols.) a. m = 1,800 kg; v = 20 m/s b. m = 1,800 kg; v = 40 m/s c. m = 1,800 kg; v = 60 m/s d. m = 5,400…arrow_forwardA motorcyclist drives at 21 m/s in a direction 46° east of north relative to a car, and at 9.5 m/s due north relative to the Earth.
