A driver takes 0.20 second to apply the brakes (reaction time). If he is driving car at a speed of `54kmh^(-1)` and the brakes cause a deceleration of `6.0ms^(-1)`? Find the distance travelled by car after he sees the need to put the brakes.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(distance covered during 0.20 s) + (distance covered until rest)
`=(15xx0.25)+[18.75]=21.75`

The distance x metres travelled by a vehicle in time t seconds after the breakes are applied is given by x=20 t-(5)/(3) t^(2) . Determine (i) the speed of the vehicle (in km /hr) at the instant the brakes are applied and (ii) the distance the car travelled before it stops.

Figure shows water in a container having 2.0-mm thick walls made of a material of thermal conductivity 0.50Wm^(-1)C^(-1) . The container is kept in a melting-ice bath at 0^(@)C . The total surface area in contact with water is 0.05m^(2) . A wheel is clamped inside the water and is coupled to a block of mass M as shown in the figure. As the goes down, the wheel rotates. It is found that after some time a steady state is reached in which the block goes down with a constant speed of 10cms^(-1) and the temperature of the water remains constant at 1.0^(@)C .Find the mass M of the block. Assume that the heat flow out of the water only through the walls in contact. Take g=10ms^(-2) .

A travelling wave is produced on a long horizontal string by vibrating an end up and down sinusoidal. The amplitude of vibration is 1.0cm and the displacement becomes zero 200 times per second. The linear mass density of the string is 0.10 kg m^(-1) and it is kept under a tension of 90 N. (a) Find the speed and the wavelength of the wave. (b) Assume that the wave moves in the positive x-direction and at t = 0 the end x= 0 is at its positive extreme position. Write the wave equation. (c ) Find the velocity and acceleration of the particle at x = 50 cm at time t = 10ms.

Reaction time : When a situation demands our immediate action, it takes some time before we really respond. Reaction time is the time a person takes to observe, think and act. For example, if a person is driving and suddenly a boy appears on the road, then the time elapsed before he slams the brakes of the car is the reaction time. Reaction time depends on complexity of the situation and on an individual. You can measure your reaction time by a simple experiment. Take a ruler and ask your friend to drop it vertically through the gap between your thumb and forefinger (Fig.). After you catch it, find the distance d travelled by the ruler. In a particular case, d was found to be 21.0 cm. Estimate reaction time.

A train starts from rest and moves with a constant accelerationof 2.0 m/s^2 for half a minute. The brakes are then applied and the train comes to rest in one minute. Find a. the total distance moved by the train, b. the maximum speed attained by the train and c. the position(s) of the train at half the maximum speed.
