You are arguing over a cell phone while trailing an unmarked police car by 25m; both your car and the police car are traveling at 110km/h..Your argument diverts your attention from the police car for 2.0s, (long enough for you to look at the phone and yell, 鈥淚 won鈥檛 do that!鈥). At the beginning of that 2.0s,the police officer begins braking suddenly at 5.0m/s2(a)What is the separation between the two cars when your attention finally returns? Suppose that you take another0.40s to realize your danger and begin braking. (b)If you too brake at5.0m/s2,what is your speed when you hit the police car?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The separation between the two cars is 15 m

(b) Speed of the car is 26 m/s

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Initial Separation between the two carsd=25m

Deceleration of the police car 5m/s2

Reaction time 0.4 sec.

02

Understanding the concept

The problem deals with the kinematic equation of motion in which the motion of an object is described at constant acceleration.

Using the formula for the first kinematic equation, the speed of the police car before the braking can be found. When the collision occurs at time t, displacement x'=x", from which the speed of the car can be obtained.

Formula:

The general velocity distance relation is expressed by,

Distance=(velocity)(time)v=v0+atx=v0t+12at2

03

(a) To find the separation between two cars

Speed=110km/h=30.56m/s

During your car travels a distance

Distanced2=30.56m/s2s-125m/s22s2=51.12m

During this phase, the separation between your car and police car is reduced by,

d1-d2=61.12m-51.12md=10m

Initially, both the cars were separated by 25 m, Because of the situation above, the separation is reduced by 10 m. Therefore, the distance by which the cars are now separated is,

D=InitialSeparation-ReductioninSeparation=d-d=25m-10m=15m

Therefore, both the cars are separated by 15 m.

04

(b) To calculate the speed of car

For b part, total time is

=2.0sec+0.4secreactiontime=2.4sec

So distance traveled by your car is

x=30.56m/s2.4s=73.33m

And distance travelled by the police car is,

x"=30.56m/s2.4s-125m/s22.4s2=58.93m

Initially, both the cars were separated by 25 m,now the separation is reduced by 14.4 m Thus, the gap between two cars at the start of braking is 10.6 m .The speed of police car at this point is

v=v0+at=30.56m/s-5m/s22.4s=18.56m/sec

The collision occurs at time t鈥, when

x'=x"

We have,

螖虫=v0t+12at2

Considering the position of your car at the time of braking as the origin, we have

x"-0=30.56m/st'-t0s-125m/s2t'-t0s2x"=30.56m/st'-t0s-125m/s2t'-t0s2

Since the police car is ahead of your car by ,we have

localid="1656999695367" x"-10.6m=+18.56m/st'-t0s-125m/s2t'-t0s2x"=10.6m+18.56m/st'-t0s-125m/s2t'-t0s2x'=x"

Solving the above equation, we get

localid="1656999030601" 10.6m=30.56-18.56m/st'-t0st'-t0=0.883s

Therefore, your speed at this time is,

localid="1656999587008" v=v0+at'-t0=30.56m/s-5m/s20.88s=26m/s

Therefore, the speed of your car when it hits the police car is v=26m/sOr94km/h.
