Answer: 156.02 metre.
Step-by-step explanation:
Give that a certain car traveling 33.0mph skids to a stop in 39m from the point where the brakes were applied.
Let us use third equation of motion,
V^2 = U^2 + 2as
Since the car is decelerating, V = 0
And acceleration a will be negative.
U = 33 mph
S = 39 m
Substitute both into the formula
0 = 33^2 - 2 × a × 39
0 = 1089 - 78a
78a = 1089
a = 1089 / 78
a = 13.96 m/h^2
If we assume that the car decelerate at the same rate.
the distance the car will stop had it been going 66.0mph will be achieved by using the same formula
V^2 = U^2 + 2as
0 = 66^2 - 2 × 13.96 × S
4356 = 27.92S
S = 4356 / 27.92
S = 156.02 m
Therefore, the car would stop at
156.02 m
