    1) A red car traveling at 45 m/s slams on its brakes to avoid hitting a stopped yellow car 40 m ahead. A constant friction force of 7.5x103 N acts. The minimum braking distance to avoid collision is calculated as 1.37 m. 2) If the initial distance was only 40 m, the collision speed would be -20.34 m/s. 3) Physics principles like forces, motion, and friction are important in road and vehicle design to ensure safety. Braking distances, curved exits, and aerodynamic designs all apply concepts of physics.

    ASSIGNMENT 01

    Question No. 1

    The driver of a 2.0 × 103 kg red car traveling on the highway at 45m/s slams on his brakes to
    avoid striking a second yellow car in front of him, which had come to rest because of blocking
    ahead as shown in above Fig. After the brakes are applied, a constant friction force of 7.5 ×
    103 N acts on the car. Ignore air resistance.

    (a) Determine the least distance should the brakes be applied to avoid a collision with the
    other vehicle?
    (b) If the distance between the vehicles is initially only 40.0 m, at what speed would the
    collision occur?
    (c) Write your conclusive observations on the result obtained from this numerical. i.e. the
    importance of physics in our daily life.
    (a)
    Determine the least distance should the brakes be applied to avoid a collision with the other
    vehicle?
    SOLUTION:
    Given data
    Mass of Car =2.0 × 103kg
    Velocity of car=45m/s
    Determine the least distance=s=d=?
    Ffr =  .N =  k .mg

    friction force=normal force


    Fn = − Ffr
    − k mg = m.ma
    a = −  k .g
    ( g = 9.8and  = (7.5  103 )
    a = −73.5 103

    (b)
    If the distance between the vehicles is initially only 40.0 m, at what speed would the collision
    occur?
    SOLUTION:
    by putting their we find out

    S = 0.0137 m

    What speed would the occur with velocity = 40 m?

    here vi = 40m / s

    v = u 2 + 2as
    V 2 = (40) 2 + ( −2013.9 )
    V 2 = 1600 − 2013.9
    V = −20.34m / s
    (c)
    Write your conclusive observations on the result obtained from this numerical. i.e. the
    importance of Physics in daily life.
    SOLUTION:
    We talk about the physics with inside the mild of our given numerical we can see the roads and
    motors also are designed in line with terms/guidelines of physics, for instance, the exits of the
    motorways are designed in calculated curve via way of means of the usage of the prescribed
    guidelines of centripetal force. The design of the motors additionally complies with the type
    guidelines of physics which permit the car to journey quicker in opposition to the air
    Question No. 2

    Consider an automobile moving at v mph that skids d feet after its brakes lock. Calculate
    how far it would skid if it was moving at 2v and the brakes were locked.
    SOLUTION:
    vi = Vmph means that 1mph

    (mph=mile per hour)


    Convert mile per hour
    Vi = 0.44704 m/s
    S= d feet means 1 feet convert into meters
    S=0.3048m
    Vf2=vi2+2as
    (0)2=(0.44704)2+2(a)(0.3048)
    =0.1998+2(0.3048) a
    -0.1998=2(0.3048) a
    −0.1998
    a=
    2(0.3048)

    Velocity is 2v then find the skid distance?


    Vf2-vi2=2as
    0-(2)2=2(-0.3278) S
    −4
    =S
    −2(0.3278)

    2
    =S
    0.3278
    6.101=S
