A record of travel along a straight path is as follows: 1. Start from rest with constant acceleration of 2.65 m/s2 for 17.0 s. 2

. Maintain a constant velocity for the next 1.60 min. 3. Apply a constant negative acceleration of −9.39 m/s2 for 4.80 s.
(a) What was the total displacement for the trip?

b) What were the average speeds for legs 1, 2, and 3 of the trip, as well as for the complete trip

Hello

Let's solve the problem in the three different steps

1) Uniformly accelerated motion, with acceleration a_1 = 2.65~m/s^2 and for a total time of t_1=17~s. The body is initially at rest, so the distance covered is given by
S= \frac{1}{2}a_1t_1^2=382.9~m
Calling v_f and v_i the final and initial velocity, and since the v_i=0~m/s because the body starts from rest, we can use
a= \frac{v_f-v_i}{t}
to find the final velocity after this first leg:
v_{f}=v_i+a_1t_1=45~m/s
And the average velocity in this first leg is
v_1= \frac{v_f+v_i}{2}=22.5~m/s

2) Uniform motion. The velocity is constant and it is equal to the final velocity of the first leg: v_2=45~m/s. This is also the average velocity of the second leg. 
The total time of this second leg is t_2=1.60~min = 96~s. The distance covered is given by
S_2=v_2t_2=45~m/s \cdot 96~s=4320~m

3) Uniformly decelerated motion, with constant deceleration of a_3=-9.39~m/s^2 and for a total time of t_3=4.8~s. Here, the initial velocity of the body is the final velocity of the previous leg, i.e. v_i=45~m/s. Therefore, the distance covered in this leg is given by
S_3=v_i t_3 + \frac{1}{2} a_3 t^2 =107.8~m
The final velocity in this leg is given by
v_f=v_i+at=45~m/s-9.39~m/s^2 \cdot 4.8~s = -0.07~m/s
The negative sign means that after decelerating, the body has started to go in the opposite direction. Similarly to step 1, the average velocity in this leg is given by
v_3 =  \frac{1}{2}(v_f+v_i)=  \frac{1}{2}(-0.07~m/s+45~m/s)=  22.5~m/s

4) Finally, the total distance covered in the motion is
S=S_1+S_2+S_3=382.9~m+4320~m+107.8~m=4810.7~m
To find the average velocity, we must "weigh" the average velocity of each leg for the correspondent time of that leg:
v_{ave}= \frac{v_1t_1+v_2t_2+v_3t_3}{t_1+t_2+t_3}=40.8~m/s

A simple harmonic wave of wavelength 18.7 cm and amplitude 2.34 cm is propagating along a string in the negative x-direction at
storchak [24]

Answer

given,

wavelength = λ = 18.7 cm

                    = 0.187 m

amplitude , A = 2.34 cm

v = 0.38 m/s

A)  angular frequency = ?

     f = \dfrac{v}{\lambda}

     f = \dfrac{0.38}{0.187}

     f =2.03\ Hz

angular frequency ,

ω = 2π f

ω = 2π x 2.03

ω = 12.75 rad/s

B) the wave number ,

      K = \dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}

     K= \dfrac{2\pi}{0.187}

    K =33.59\ m^{-1}

C)

as the wave is propagating in -x direction, the sign is positive between x and t

y ( x ,t) = A sin(k  x - ω t)

y ( x ,t) = 2.34  x  sin(33.59 x - 12.75 t)

An automobile of mass 2000 kg moving at 30 m/s is braked suddenly with a constant braking force of 10000 N. How far does the car
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

The car traveled the distance before stopping is 90 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of automobile = 2000 kg

speed = 30 m/s

Braking force = 10000 N

For, The acceleration is

Using newton's formula

F = ma

Where, f = force

m= mass

a = acceleration

Put the value of F and m into the formula

-10000 =2000\times a

Negative sing shows the braking force.

It shows the direction of force is opposite of the motion.

a = -\dfrac{10000}{2000}

a=-5\ m/s^2

For the distance,

Using third equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as

Where, v= final velocity

u = initial velocity

a = acceleration

s = stopping distance of car

Put the value in the equation

0-30^2=2\times(-5)\times s

s = 90\ m

Hence, The car traveled the distance before stopping is 90 m.
