mechanics...help!!!!!
« on: October 16, 2009, 08:35:35 am »
A car comes to a stop from 30m/s in a distance of 804m. The driver brakes so as to produce a deceleration of 1/2 m/s2 to begin with, and then brakes harder to produce a deceleration of 3/2 m/s2. Find the speed of the car at the instant when the deceleration is increased, and the total time the car takes to stop


HELP!!!

didnt find wt i need in the syllabus......:(

i guess the formulas i missed were related to........when two objects starts moving but maybe from different positions......or same positions......i saw it at somebody's notebook........it was like....

SA = SB + X

and

SA = SB

something like that.......i dont remember them very well, so i just needed the list of needed formulas to knw them

it means there is no resultant force acting on the body....the body is stable

When a body is in a state of equilibrium, the clockwise moment is equal to the anticlockwise moment and the sum of vectors in all directions is zero.(or there is no resultant vector)
