Chapter 20, Problem 51P
The distance required to stop an automobile consists of both thinking and braking components each of which is a function of its speed. The following experimental data was collected to quantify this relationship. Develop a best-fit equation for both the thinkingand braking components. Use these equations to estimate the total stopping distance for a car traveling at 110 km/hr.
| Speed, km/hr | 30 | 45 | 60 | 75 | 90 | 120 |
| Thinking, m | 5.6 | 8.5 | 11.1 | 14.5 | 16.7 | 22.4 |
| Braking, m | 5.0 | 12.3 | 21.0 | 32.9 | 47.6 | 84.7 |

- 6. A ball is thrown straight up in the air at time t = 0. Its height y(t) is given by y(t) = vot - 791² (1) Calculate: (a) The time at which the ball hits the ground. First, make an estimate using a scaling analysis (the inputs are g and vo and the output is the time of landing. Think about their units and how you might construct the output using the inputs, just by matching units). Solve the problem exactly. Verify that the scaling analysis gives you (almost) the correct answer. (b) The times at which the ball reaches the height v/(4g). Use the quadratic formula. (c) The times at which the ball reaches the height v/(2g). You should find that both solutions are identical. What does this indicate physically? (d) The times at which the ball reaches the height v/g. What is the physical interpretation of your solutions? (e) Does your scaling analysis provide any insight into the answers for questions (a-e)? Discuss. (Hint: Observe how your answers depend on g and vo).arrow_forwardThe wind data of a site is listed below.
