help please!!!!

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

@Elsa213 give it a shot!!!!

OpenStudy (teddyiswatshecallsme):

I don't fluttering know. ;~;

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

awn :(

OpenStudy (teddyiswatshecallsme):

Yeah. Sorry dude.

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

dude? how do u know my gender??????????

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

@oldrin.bataku plz help :)

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

@oldrin.bataku help plz

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

Let me try....

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

Do I have to check the steps?

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

sure i guess!!! O-o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so he's going \(v_i=75\text{ km/h}=75000\text{ m/h}=1250\text{ m/s}\) and \(v_f=0\) m/s over a time span of \(3.4\) s

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

yesh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops, actually i forgot to divide by 60 again for 1 min = 60 s

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so \(v_i\approx20.83\) m/s

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

yah i just nticed that too :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

supposing the brakign is a constant deceleration, the average velocity during breaking is \(\bar v=\frac12(v_i+v_f)\approx \frac12 (0+20.83)=10.42\) m/s

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so in \(3.4\) s the distance the car goes through is \(\bar v\cdot \Delta t\approx10.42\cdot 3.4=35.428\) m

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

so am i right?????????????? XD

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

I don't get it. why average velocity is the constant deacceleration? It is not necessary @oldrin.bataku

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

It should be.... x/t=v+u/2 ... for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@arindameducationusc if the braking is not a constant deceleration then we cannot reason the average velocity is \(\bar v=\frac12 (v_i+v_f)\), since this is the midpoint formula and only applies where the velocity is varying with a constant slope (i.e. \(v=v_0+at\) where acceleration \(a\) is constant)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in fact, none of our kinematic equations we hope to use will work in the case the acceleration is not constant

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

That is only Yumyum did.... Ofcourse it wouldn't work. It should be given in question though....

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

i wrote down the question as is......

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

@oldrin.bataku What did you say in my question of Big O IO did not understand......

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

@arindameducationusc let's just postpone for now......

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

okay

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

i don't want my master to get his fingers tired XD

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

Thank you @oldrin.bataku :")

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@arindameducationusc we say that \(f(x)\in O(g(x))\) if we mean that eventually (i.e. for sufficiently big \(x\)) we have that \(|f|<C|g|\), so the magnitude is bounded above by some constant \(C\) times the magnitude of \(g\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which is why it's called asymptotic -- "in the long run"; we're looking at the comparative behavior of the functions for larger and larger \(x\), further and further along the x-axis

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

hey one last thing, so this is how you get the average velocity if you have the initial and final velocity????? v¯=1/2(vi+vf),

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if the acceleration is constant, yes, since then the velocity vs time graph is a straight line and that's just the midpoint

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

ok thanks :"|

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

@oldrin.bataku Nice... but can you explain in terms of graph? By making a graph in rough @oldrin.bataku

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

Okay thanks @oldrin.bataku
