How far are you from the intersection when you begin to apply the brakes?
Let the distance from the intersection, when the driver sees the red light be L, let his rection time be t_{0}. Let the initial speed of the car be v_{0}. If the driver decides to put on the brakes the moment he sees the red light, the action still takes time t_{0}, and in that time the car has...- elessariitkgp

Determine the horizontal component
Let the initial velocity of bullet be v_{0}. If the mass of the bullet be denoted by m, then as per the given data the mass of the pendulum bob is \frac{m}{5}. Applying linear momentum conservation along the initial direction of motion of the bullet, mv_{0}=\frac{6m}{5} v where v is the final...- elessariitkgp

Acceleration on an Incline Plane: Solving for Unknowns
Firstly the dimensions of the ramp give the angle of inclination of the ramp. If the height is \var H and the length of the ramp be \var L, then tan\vartheta=\frac{\var H}{\var L} The particle model can be used here. Let the mass of the particle be \var m Then observing the equilibrium...- elessariitkgp
