Your car can brake with a deceleration of 6 m/s2. The car is initially going at 40 m/s.
a) How long will it take the car to come to a full stop?

b) If the car is 5 meters long, about how many car lengths should be kept between you and the car in front of you (assume the car in front of you comes to a stop immediately).

Respuesta :

We have that for the Question "" it can be said that how long will it take the car to come to a full stop and the car lengths before a stop is

  • t=6.67
  • L=27cars

From the question we are told

Your car can brake with a deceleration of 6 m/s2. The car is initially going at 40 m/s.

a) How long will it take the car to come to a full stop?  

b) If the car is 5 meters long, about how many car lengths should be kept between you and the car in front of you (assume the car in front of you comes to a stop immediately).

Generally the equation for the Velocity is mathematically given as

[tex]v=u+at\\\\Therefore\\\\40=0+6t\\\\t=6.667s\\\\[/tex]

b)

s=ut+1/2at^2

Therefore

[tex]S=0+1/2(6)(6.7)^2\\\\S=134.67m[/tex]

Therefore

The car lengths before a stop is

L=134.67m/5

  • L=27cars
