    Degree
AI Thread Summary
Marcia's car took 3.1 seconds to stop after the light turned red, traveling approximately 29.76 meters before coming to a halt. For the second scenario, Ali's ball was thrown at a 60-degree angle with an initial speed of 25 m/s, but further calculations are needed to determine its height from Ali. In the third scenario, Maxim's car traveled 5 meters in 2.5 seconds while accelerating at 5.2 m/s². The discussions highlight confusion around using the correct equations and understanding the concepts of acceleration and motion. Clarification on the negative acceleration and visual aids like velocity-time graphs were suggested for better understanding.

1. Marcia was driving her car at the constant speed of 19.2 m/s when she saw the light turn red. It took her .13 sec to hit the brakes, but then the car slowed at the constant rate of 6.2 m/s2 until it stopped. How much time did it take for the car to stop moving after the light turned red.? How far did the car travel until it stopped?
Did I plug in the right number for each symbol?


I am confuse of which equation to use and which question should I put .13s to.

First question:

V0 = 19.2 m/s
A = -6.2 m/s 2
Δt = ?

Δx=?

Δx = V0Δt + .5a(Δt)2

Second question:
V0 = 19.2 m/s
A = -6.2 m/s 2
Δt = .13 s

Δx=?

Δx = V0Δt + .5a(Δt)2

2. Standing on a flat roof of a 21 m high building, Ali threw a ball up at a 60 degree angle to the roof top. The speed of the ball was 25 m/s. When the ball left Ali’s outstretched hand the ball was 3.1 meters from the roof top. The ball eventually landed on the roof. High far was the ball from Ali?

I never work on question related to degree, so I am pretty lost on this one.
Vo = 25m/s
A = -9.8 m/s 2
Vf = 0 m/s
Δx = ?







3. Maxim was driving his car at 15 m/s when he pressed the gas pedal down to accelerate at 5.2 m/s2. How far did he travel in the next 2.5 seconds?

I think this is correct.
Δx = ?
V0 = 15 m/s
Δt = 2.5 s
A = -5.2 m/s 2

Δx = V0Δt + .5a(Δt)2

Δx = 15 m/s (2.5 s) – 5.2 m/s 2 (2.5 s 2)

Δx = 37.5 m – 32.5 m

Δx = 5m

Bump!
 
1. Draw a velocity - time graph.
2. Not sure how the rooftop and roof configuration.
3. Why the acceleration is negative? Draw a velocity- time graph here too.

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'
My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
