A car is traveling up a 1.5% grade at 65 mi/hr on good, wet pavement. The driver brakes to try to avoid hitting a cone on the road that is 300 ft ahead. The driver’s reaction time is 1.5 second. When the driver first applies the brakes, a software flaw causes the braking efficiency to lower to 0.8 for 100 ft. After the initial 100 ft, the braking efficiency returns to 1.0. How fast will the driver be going when...

The driver of a one ton car traveling at 126 km/hr suddenly used his brake to stop before hitting a stationary lorry ahead. After the brakes are applied, a constant kinetic friction force of magnitude 8 kilo Newton acts on the car. Ignore air resistance. (a) At what minimum distance should the brakes be applied to avoid a collision with the other vehicle? (b) If the distance between the vehicles is initially only 30.0 m, at what speed would the...

The driver of a car slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. The car slows uniformly with acceleration of -5.10 m/s² for 4.25s, making skid marks 62.8 m long. With what speed does the car then strike the tree? The answer to this was 3.94 m/. From here, If the car has the same initial velocity, and if the driver slams on the brakes at the same distance from the tree, then what would the...

A car of mass 772 kg is traveling 26.4 m/s when the driver applies the brakes, which lock the wheels. The car skids for 4.47 s in the positive x-direction before coming to rest. HINT (a) What is the car's acceleration (in m/s2)? (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) m/s2 (b) What magnitude force (in N) acted on the car during this time? N (c) How far (in m) did the car travel? m

The driver of a high-speed car of mass m=2000kg, CD=0.3, and profile area A= 1m2 , traveling at 150 mi/hr deploys a d=2m parachute, as shown below, simultaneously taking his/her foot off the gas pedal (but not applying the brakes!) Neglecting rolling resistance, determine the instantaneous deceleration of the vehicle. Set up the differential equation whose solution would give the speed V(t) in the ensuing deceleration. Show that, in the absence of other frictional forces, (I.e. under influence of parachute...
