A car being driven by a cyber school physics student is moving with a velocity of 100 km/hr. As the car comes over the hill the student notices a train crossing the highway 0.4 km in front of him. If he immediately applies the brakes which can give the car a deceleration of 1.0 m/s2, determine whether or not a collision will occur. Explain and show all calculations!

Expert Solution

here, we have to first find the distance travelled by the car after applying the brake and then finally compare that with the distance of the train crossing from the car at the instant of applying the brake. If the distance of the car travelled after applying the brake is smaller than the distance of the train crosiing and car at the instant of applying the brake then the collision will not take place otherwise, there will be collision.

A sports car is moving at a constant velocity in the +x direction on a flat horizontal street. 1) The net force on the car is doing positive work. True or False 2) The driver presses the accelerator, the car accelerates in the same direction and, thus positive non-conservative work is being done. True or False 3) As the car accelerates, the kinetic energy increases and the momentum decreases. True or False 4) As the car accelerates, the potential energy decreases. True or...

A student with an eight o'clock class at a university commutes to school by car. She has discovered that along each of two possible routes her traveling time to school (including the time to get to class) is approximately a normal random variable. If she uses the highway for most of her trip,μ=22 minutes and σ=5 minutes. If she drives a longer route over city streets, μ=26 minutes and σ=33 minutes. Which route should the student take if she leaves...

A Projectile is shot at a moving target with initial velocity Vo=2000ft/s. The target is moving at 500ft/s and its initial start was (Xo, Yo)= 200',300' at angle phi=15. the weight of the target is 5lbf. Gravity is 32.3 ft/s^2. Find angle theta the projectile would need to be shot to hit the target. No drag. There is the high angle case and low angle

A driver in a moving car applies the brakes. The car slows to a final speed of 1.50 m/s over a distance of 40.0 m and a time interval of 9.00 s. The acceleration while braking is approximately constant. (a) What is the car's original speed before braking? m/s (b) What is its acceleration during this time? (The car's initial velocity is in the positive direction. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) m/s2
