You鈥檙e driving down the highway late one night at 20 m/s

when a deer steps onto the road 35 m in front of you. Your reaction time before stepping on the brakes is 0.50 s, and the maximum deceleration of your car is 10 m/s2.

a. How much distance is between you and the deer when you come to a stop?

b. What is the maximum speed you could have and still not hit the deer?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. Before coming to a stop, the total distance of the car from the deer is, 5m.

b. The maximum speed of the car could have without hitting the deer is,22.36m/s.26.46m/s.

Step by step solution

01

Part a Step 1: Given information

Initial speed of the car, u=20m/s

Reaction time before striking the break, t=0.50s.

Acceleration of the car, role="math" localid="1648219673493" a=-10m/s2.

Distance between the car and the deer,d=35m.

02

Calculating the distance travelled and time consumed during deacceleration

The distance travelled before pressing the break is,

s=uts=200.50ms=10m

Time duration of deacceleration of the car during stepping on the brakes can be determines as,

v=u+at'0=20m/s-10m/s2t't'=2010st'=2s

03

Calculating total distance travelled

Distance covered during the deacceleration,

S=ut'+12at'2S=202+12-1022S=40-20mS=20m

Distance travelled during the uniform motion and deacceleration,(s+S)=10+20m=30m.

Before coming to a stop, the total distance from the deer is,

35-30m=5m.

04

Part b; Step 1: Given data

Acceleration of the car, a=-10m/s2.

Distance between the car and the deer, role="math" localid="1648219786110" d=-35m.

We have to find the maximum speed of the car without hitting the deer as vmax.

05

Determining the maximum speed

The total distance covered by the car from the starting time of its journey to stop without hitting the deer is,

d'=S+5md'=20+5md'=25m

The maximum speed of the car should have, can be found as, vmax2=vfinal2-2ad'

Now, vfinal=0

Therefore,

localid="1650273158159" vmax2=-21025vmax2=500vmax=500vmax=22.36m/s

The Starship Enterprise returns from warp drive to ordinary

space with a forward speed of 50 km/s. To the crew鈥檚 great surprise,

a Klingon ship is 100 km directly ahead, traveling in the

same direction at a mere 20 km/s. Without evasive action, the

Enterprise will overtake and collide with the Klingons in just

slightly over 3.0 s. The Enterprise鈥檚 computers react instantly to

brake the ship. What magnitude acceleration does the Enterprise

need to just barely avoid a collision with the Klingon ship?

Assume the acceleration is constant.

Hint: Draw a position-versus-time graph showing the motions

of both the Enterprise and the Klingon ship. Let x0 = 0 km be

the location of the Enterprise as it returns from warp drive. How

do you show graphically the situation in which the collision is

鈥渂arely avoided鈥? Once you decide what it looks like graphically,

express that situation mathematically.

A small child gives a plastic frog a big push at the bottom of a slippery 2.0-m-long, 1.0-m-high ramp, starting it with a speed of 5.0 m/s. What is the frog鈥檚 speed as it flies off the top of the ramp?

Amir starts riding his bike up a 200-m-long slope at a speed of 18 km/h, decelerating at 0.20 m/s2 as he goes up. At the same instant, Becky starts down from the top at a speed of 6.0 km/h, accelerating at 0.40 m/s2 as she goes down. How far has Amir ridden when they pass?

A rock is thrown (not dropped) straight down from a bridge into the

river below. At each of the following instants, is the magnitude of the rock鈥檚 acceleration greater than g, equal to g, less than g, or 0? Explain.

a. Immediately after being released.

b. Just before hitting the water.
