A truck has a velocity of 2 m /s at time t=0. It accelerates at 2 m / on seeing police .What is its velocity in m/s at a time of 2 sec
Initial velocity u = 2 m/s
final velocity = v m/s
Time duration = final time - initial time = 2-0 = 2 s
acceleration a = 2 m/s2
We know,
v = u + at
=> v =
=> v = 6 m/s
A sports car has a “lateral acceleration” of 0.96g = 9.4 m . This is the maximum centripetal acceleration the car can sustain without skidding out of a curved path. If the car is traveling at a constant 40 m/s on level ground, what is the radius R of the tightest unbanked curve it can negotiate?
The car is in uniform circular motion because it’s moving at a constant speed along a curve that is a segment of a circle. Hence we know
R== =170 m
This is the minimum turning radius because arad is the maximum centripetal acceleration.
