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

can someone explain wat does equilibrium means in mechanics?

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)
