Question

A car is travelling along a road at 80 km/h when a tree falls across the road 54 m away. what would probably happen and why

Answer 1

Answer:

CAR accident

Explanation:

car speed = 80 km/h

in m/s , km/h multiply by 5/18

80 multiply by 5/18

22 m/s

distance of fallen tree from car = 54 m

time car will take to reach fallen tree along road= distance of car from tree divided by speed of car in m/s

which is equal to = 54 divide by 22

= 2 seconds

and the driver can not stop the car in 2 seconds as speed of car is (22m/s or 80km/h)

and hence, there will be a car accident
