The reaction time of the average motorist is 0.70 s. Assume that by means of the brakes, a retarding force equal to three-fourths the weight of the car can be applied to the car. If the car is travelling 60 mi/h, find a. The acceleration when the brakes are applied andb. The distance the car travels after the motorist receives the stopping signal
If no brakes are used immediately, an automobile with a starting velocity of 30 mph or 44 feet/s will collide with a person. If the driver is inebriated, he or she will be able to respond to the situation in three seconds. If the driver is not intoxicated, he or she can react for about 0.75 seconds. Determine the shortest stopping distance required for the driver (intoxicated, under influence of alcohol) to break on time if the automobile accelerates at -2 feet/s2. a.) 721 ft b.) 517 ft c.) 616 ft d.) 800 ft
A car travels up a hill at a constant speed of 37 km/h and returns downthe hill at a constant speed of 66 km/h. Calculate the average speed forthe whole trip.
A ship sailing in the Gulf Stream is heading 25.0º westof north at a speed of 4.00 m/s relative to the water. Itsvelocity relative to the Earth is 4.80 m/s 5.00º west ofnorth. What is the velocity of the Gulf Stream? (The velocityobtained is typical for the Gulf Stream a few hundredkilometers off the east coast of the United States.)
It takes about 3.5 secondsfor a driver having 0.12% alcohol inhis/her system to react to a situation toavoid a collision. In a normal state, adriver takes 0.75 seconds to react tosuch situation. If both drivers aretraveling on a straight road at a constantspeed of 5 m/s and their cars candecelerate at 0.70 m/s2, determine thestopping distance for both drivers fromthe moment they noticed a pedestrian.
A river has a steady speed of 0.500 m/s. A student swimsupstream a distance of 1.00 km and swims back to the startingpoint. If the student can swim at a speed of 1.20 m/s in stillwater, how long does the trip take? Compare this with the time thetrip would take if the water were still.
A rocket is launched from rest from an underwater base a distance of 125 m belowthe surface of a body of water. It moves vertically upward with an unknown but assumed constant acceleration (the combines effect of its engines, Earth’s gravity, and the buoyancy and drag of the water), and it reaches the surface in a time of 2.15 seconds. When it breaks the surface its engines automatically shut off (to make it more difficult to detect) and it continues to rise. What maximum height does it reach? (Ignore any effects at the surface.)

If a car is traveling due westward with a constant speed of 20m/s, what is the resultant force acting on it?
A 124-kg balloon carrying a 22-kg basket is descending with a constantdownward velocity of 20.0 m/s. A 1.0-kg stone is thrown from the basketwith an initial velocity of 15.0 m/s perpendicular to the path of thedescending balloon, as measured relative to a person at rest in thebasket. That person sees the stone hit the ground 5.00 s after it wasthrown. Assume that the balloon continues its downward descent withthe same constant speed of 20.0 m/s. (d) Just before the rock hits the ground, find its horizontal and vertical velocity components
An object is shot straight upward from sea level with an initial velocity of 400 ft/sec. a. Assuming that gravity is the only force acting on the object, give an upper estimate for its velocity after 5 sec have elapsed. Use g=32 ft/sec2 for the gravitational acceleration. b. Using Δt=1 sec, find a lower estimate for the height attained after 5 sec.
Cite an instance in which your speed could be zero while your acceleration is nonzero.
