A motorist drives along a straight road at a constant speed of 15 m/s. just as she passes aparked motorcycle police officer , th

e officer starts to accelerate at 2m/s2 to over take her. assuming the officer maintains this acceleration,
a) determine the time it takes the police to reach the motorist the speed and
b) the total displacement of the officer as he overtakes the motorist

4 0

Explanation:

Distance traveled by motorist =(15.0m/s)t

Distance traveled by policeman =1/2(2.00m/s2)t2

(a) Intercept occurs when 15.0t =t2or t=15.0s.

(b) x(officer)=1/2(2.00m/s2)t2= 225m

A 1.5-kilogram cart initially moves at 2.0 meters per second. It is brought to rest by a constant net force in 0.30 second. What
AnnZ [28]
Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (speed at the end) minus (speed at the beginning.

The cart's acceleration is

                               (0 - 2 m/s) / (0.3 sec)

                           = ( -2 / 0.3 ) (m/s²)  =  -(6 and 2/3) m/s² .

Newton's second law of motion says

                             Force = (mass) x (acceleration) .

For this cart:      Force = (1.5 kg) x ( - 6-2/3 m/s²)

                                       = ( - 1.5 x 20/3 ) (kg-m/s²)

<span>                                       =      </span>- 10 newtons .

<span>The force is negative because it acts opposite to the direction </span>
<span>in which the cart is moving, it causes a negative acceleration, </span>
<span>and it eventually stops the cart.</span>

If the torque on an object adds up to zero Group of answer choices the object is at rest. the object cannot be turning. the obje
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

the body has linear acceleration, but cannot rotate

Explanation:

Let's analyze the system

If the torque is zero, the two forces are the same magnitude, but applied to each side of the body in such a way that the torque cancels the punch of the other. Therefore the body cannot turn

The two forces go in the same direction so the object can have linear acceleration

The object is at rest because it has a force in the same direction, but in the opposite direction.

therefore the correct answer is:

the body has linear acceleration, but cannot rotate
