Chapter 2: Q. 52 (page 62)

The minimum stopping distance for a car traveling at a speed

of 30 m/s is 60 m, including the distance traveled during the

driver鈥檚 reaction time of 0.50 s. What is the minimum stopping distance for the same car traveling at a speed of 40 m/s?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Minimum stopping distance travelled by the car at a speed of40m/sis100m.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Speed of the car is u=30m/s.

Stopping distance of the car with this speed isD=60m.

Reaction time taken by the driver, t=0.50s.

02

Calculation of the distance travelled while deacceleration

During reaction time, the distance travelled by the driver is,

x=utx=30脳0.50mx=15m

Therefore, while slowing down, distance travelled by the driver is,

s=D-xs=60-15ms=45m

03

Calculation of stopping distance

Initial acceleration of the car can be calculated as,

0=u2+2asa=-u22sa=-3022脳45a=-10m/s2

Now, considering the initial speed as u'=40m/s,distance travelled by the car during constant motion is,

s1=u'ts1=40脳0.5ms1=20m

The distance travelled by the car during slowing down can be obtained as,

0=u'2+2as2s2=-u'22as2=-4022-10ms2=80m

Therefore, minimum stopping distance should be,

S=s1+s2S=20+80mS=100m

A cat is sleeping on the floor in the middle of a 3.0-m-wide room when a barking dog enters with a speed of 1.50 m/s. As the dog enters, the cat (as only cats can do) immediately accelerates at 0.85 m/s2 toward an open window on the opposite side of the room. The dog (all bark and no bite) is a bit startled by the cat and begins to slow down at 0.10 m/s2 as soon as it enters the room. How far is the cat in front of the dog as it leaps through the window?

The takeoff speed for an Airbus A320 jetliner is 80 m/s. Velocity

data measured during takeoff are as shown.

a. Is the jetliner鈥檚 acceleration constant during takeoff?

Explain.

b. At what time do the wheels leave the ground?

c. For safety reasons, in case of an aborted takeoff, the runway must be three times the takeoff distance. Can an A320 take off safely on a 2.5-mi-long runway?

A Porsche challenges a Honda to a 400 m race. Because the Porsche鈥檚 acceleration of 3.5 m/s2 is larger than the Honda鈥檚 3.0 m/s2 , the Honda gets a 1.0 s head start. Who wins? By how many seconds?

Ball bearings are made by letting spherical drops of molten metal fall inside a tall tower鈥攃alled a shot tower鈥攁nd solidify as they fall.

a. If a bearing needs 4.0 s to solidify enough for impact, how high must the tower be? b. What is the bearing鈥檚 impact velocity?

As an astronaut visiting Planet X, you鈥檙e assigned to measure the free-fall acceleration. Getting out your meter stick and stopwatch, you time the fall of a heavy ball from several heights. Your data are as follows:


Analyze these data to determine the free-fall acceleration on Planet X. Your analysis method should involve fitting a straight line to an appropriate graph.
