What is the average acceleration of this object during this process?arrow_forwardThe engineer of an intercity train observes a rock slide blocking the train's path 550 m ahead and activates the train's emergency brakes. The train decelerates uniformly (Hint: negative acceleration) at 1.7 m/s and completely stopes just before hitting the rock. What is the initial speed of the train measured in m/s?arrow_forwardA rocket-powered sled moves along a track, eventually reaching a top speed of 150 m/s to the west. It then begins to slow down, reaching a complete stop after slowing down for 4.21 s.

- A car was traveling at 33.0 m/s on a poorly lit country road. The driver started to brake 0.35 seconds after he sees that a bridge is under construction 75 meters ahead. The car slowed down uniformly. What must be the minimum acceleration be to avoid crashing into the construction?arrow_forwardA bowling ball traveling with constant speed hits the pins at the end of a bowling lane 16.5 m long. The bowler hears the sound of the ball hitting the pins 2.61 s after the ball is released from his hands.

She reaches down to pick it up and is not looking ahead for 2.75 seconds. How far did the car travel during this time?arrow_forward
- An auto travels at the rate of 25 km/h for 4.0 minutes, then at 50 km/h for 8.0 minutes, and finally at 20 km/h for 2.0 minutes. Find the average speed for the complete trip in m/s?arrow_forwardYou are 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/s?. How much distance is between you and the deer when you come to a stop?arrow_forwardTwo locomotives 70 kilometers apart are travelling on the same track towards each other, Engine A moves at 22 kilometers per hour east and engine B moves at 13 kilometersper hour west. At the instant both trains begin moving, an annoying mutant fly beginsflying from engine A towards engine B at 33 kilometers per hour . The instant it touchesB, it turns around and flies back. It goes on this way until the two locomotives collideand the mutant fly is finally squashed. So, before its untimely demise, a) what is the total distance the fly flew? b) the time it took till it was eliminated and c) the average velocity of the fly? how can i find this pleasearrow_forward
