A test car carrying a crash test dummy accelerates from 0 to 30 m/s and then crashes into a brick wall. Describe the direction of the initial acceleration vector and compare the initial acceleration vector’s magnitude with respect to the acceleration magnitude at the moment of the crash.

Answer:

the direction of acceleration of the vehicle is the same direction of its velocity of car

s acceleration has the opposite direction to the car speed.

Explanation:

The initial acceleration of the car can be calculated with

          v = v₀ + a t

          a = (v-v₀) t

       

indicate that the initial velocity is zero (v₀ = 0 m / s)

         a = v / t

         a = 300 / t

the direction of acceleration of the vehicle is the same direction of its acceleration movement.

When the car collides with the wall, it exerts a force in the opposite direction that stops the vehicle, therefore this acceleration has the opposite direction to the car speed. But your module must be much larger since the distance traveled to stop is small
