Car B has the same mass as Car A but is going twice as fast. If the same constant force brings both cars to a stop, how far will car B travel in coming to rest as compared to the distance car A traveled

Respuesta :

Answer:four times

Explanation:

Given

mass of both cars A and B are same suppose m

but velocity of car B is same as of car A

Suppose velocity of car A is u

Velocity of car B is 2 u

A constant force is applied on both the cars such that they come to rest by travelling certain distance

using  to find the distance traveled

where, v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration(offered by force)

s=displacement

final velocity is zero

For car A

[tex]0-(u)^2=2\times a\times s[/tex]

[tex]s_a=\frac{u^2}{2a}------1[/tex]

For car B

[tex]0-(2u)^2=2\times a\times s_b[/tex]

[tex]s_b=\frac{4u^2}{2a}----2[/tex]

divide 1 and 2 we get

[tex]\frac{s_a}{s_b}=\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

thus [tex]s_b=4\cdot s_a[/tex]

distance traveled by car B is four time of car A

A Car B will travel "[tex]4d_A[/tex]" in coming to rest.

By using the third equation of motion,

  • [tex]V_B = 2V_A[/tex]
  • [tex]Vf^2 = n^2 = 2aS[/tex]

By substituting the values,

→ [tex]0 = (V_A^2)+2ad[/tex]

→ [tex]d = -\frac{V_A^2}{2a}[/tex]

and,

→ [tex]d_2 = -\frac{(V_B)^2}{2a} = -\frac{4 V_A ^2}{2a}[/tex]

hence,

→ [tex]d_B = 4d_A[/tex]

Thus the above response is appropriate.
