A driver is traveling 19.0 m/s when she sees a red light ahead. Her car is capable of decelerating at a rate of 3.45 m/s^2, If it takes her 0.390 sto get the brakes on and she is 20.0m from the intersection. How far from the beginning of the intersection will she be?
MY NOTES ASK YOUR TEACHER A cab driver heads south with a steady speed of v, -20.0 m/s for t-3.00 min, then makes a right turn and travels at v₂ - 25.0 m/s for fy 2.20 min, and then drives northwest at v₂ - 30.0 m/s for ty-1.00 min. For this 6.20-min trip, calculate the following. Assume +x is in the eastward direction. (a) total vector displacement (Enter the magnitude in m and the direction in degrees south of west.) Im magnitude direction (b) average speed (in m/s) m/s south of west (c) average velocity (Enter the magnitude in m/s and the direction in degrees south of west.) magnitude: direction m/s south of west
1) Billy Bob drives 35.6km to work each day (down at the call center where he makes up random answers to people's internet problems), at 25.0m/s (ignore speeding up and slowing down; BillyBob belives in "pedal to the metal" and he doesn't believe in stop signs.) As the crow flies, he lives 17.66km due North from where he works. What is his average velocity on his drive to work?
A driver is traveling 18.4 m/s when she sees a red light ahead. Her car is capable of decelerating at a rate of 3.55 m/s^2 If it takes her 0.390s to get the brakes on and she is 20.0m from the intersection when she sees the light, will she be able to stop in time? No. How far from the beginning of the intersection will she be?
2. A motorist saw a humps 33 m away at a speed of 14.5 m/s. He immediately slams on the brake and decelerates 1.2 m/s 2 with a speed of 11.7 m/s. (a) Will he stop before the humps (express your answer in magnitude)? (b) How long it will take before stopping?
12. Car B is traveling a distance d ahead of car A. Both cars are traveling at 60 t%s when the driver of B suddenly applies the brakes, causing his car to decelerate at 12 /32. It takes the driver of car A 0.75 s to react (this is the normal reaction time for drivers). When he applies his brakes, he decelerates at 151/,2. Determine the minimum distance d be tween the cars so as to avoid a collision. (Practice at Home) A B

On the Apollo 14 mission to the moon, astronaut Alan Shepard hit a golf ball with a golf club improvised from a tool. The free- fall acceleration on the moon is 1/6 of its value on earth. Suppose he hit the ball with a speed of 29 m/sm/s at an angle 36 ⁰⁰ above the horizontal. A) How long was the ball in flight? B) How far did it travel? C) Ignoring air resistance, how much farther would it travel on the moon than on earth?
A driver is traveling 18.0 m/s when she sees a red light ahead. Her car is capable of decelerating at a rate of 3.40 m/s^2 A.) If it takes her 0.420 s to get the brakes on and she is 20.0 m from the intersection when she sees the light, will she be able to stop in time? Answer: No B.)How far from the beginning of the intersection will she be? I know the answer is not 47.64 or 10.21. Please HELP solve for B!
You are driving along Lawrence Ave. to speed up to try to make it through the intersection before it turns red (poor decision!). Your car accelerates at 1.3 m/s?.
