    What Is the Minimum Stopping Distance for a Car Traveling at 50 m/s?

    ok so .5*30 = 15 but I am confused on what to do with that? you said "Then the total change in velocity occurred over that smaller distance - not including reaction time." ?

    What Is the Minimum Stopping Distance for a Car Traveling at 50 m/s?

    The minimum stopping distance for a car traveling at a speed of 30 m/s is 60 m, including the distance traveled during the driver's reaction time of 0.50 s. (a) What is the minimum stopping distance for the same car traveling at a speed of 50 m/s? Vf^2 = Vi^2 +2ax So i would be...

    How Does an Elevator's Acceleration Affect Your Weight?

    A hotel elevator ascends 200 meters with a maximum speed of v= 5.0 m/s. It has a constant (net) acceleration of a +/- 1.0m/s^2. This means that the bottom floor is at 0.0meters and the top floor is at 200 meters. At rest, the v=0. when going up, it fights against gravitational acceleration of...

    Solving a Bicycle Physics Problem: Finding Position, Velocity, and Acceleration

    Ok so I have this physics problem but for some reason I feel like its a typo or I am missing some informtion, here is the problem A bicycle os moving east beginning at a position of X1=2.0m at T1=0.0s. At the time T2=2.0s find the bicycle's A) position, X2 B) velocity, V2 C) acceleration...

    Find Position in Uniform Motion: Car Moving on a Straight Line

    Im just throwing small numbers here so i can get help on the general idea...Im driving a car in uniform motion along a straight line. I go from a position x1=13m at time t1=0 secs to x2=3-m at time t2 = 30 seconds? can anyone help me with the general equation to find the position at different times?

    What Is Net Displacement and How Do You Calculate It for Multiple Directions?

    can you tell me if i did this right...so i have this problem I am doing where i have to travel 32miles in than 45mins. what's the slowest i can drive in order to be at 32miles in 45 mins... so i divided my 45minutes by 60minutes to determine the hour value...which is .75...and then simply...

    What Is Net Displacement and How Do You Calculate It for Multiple Directions?

    ok so this is what i have come up with...i would take the tan (30 degrees) X 52m = My opposite side of 30m. and 52^2 + 30^2=3604^2 and the SR = 60 ...so the height of the tree is 30m?

    What Is Net Displacement and How Do You Calculate It for Multiple Directions?

    ok so i have all the angles and 1 side (adjacent side) 52m. correct?
