As you are walking along an alley toward a main street, you glimpse a particularly stylish Alpha Romeo pass by. Tall buildings on either side of the alley obscure your view, so you see the car only as it passes between the buildings. Thinking back to your physics class, you realize that you can calculate the cars acceleration. You estimate the width of the alleyway between the two buildings to be 4 m. The car was in view for 0.5 s. You also heard the engine rev when the car started from a red light, so you know the Alpha Romeo started from rest 2 s before you first saw it. Find the magnitude of its acceleration.arrow_forward
- An object is released from rest at a height of h. During the final second of its fall, it traverses a distance of 38m. Determine h. I would like to know the solution but also maybe an explanation on how I would know what process to take. For the last second, I was able to find that final vf = 38m/s. That is vf = deltax/deltat, or 38m/1s. I plugged it in to vf2 = vo2 + 2a(deltax), since I think that vf shouldn't change for h, but I got the wrong answer. Please explain.arrow_forwardk as done 1.
