Which type of acceleration would be best if you were merging onto the interstate?

Physics
1 answer:
kondaur [170]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

If merging onto an interstate, it is best to merge at the speed of the moving traffic.

Explanation:

As a driver, you cannot always count on the other drivers to see you wanting to merge onto the interstate, and even if they see you, they might not be willing to stop just so you merge, therefore it is best advised to look for a gap in the traffic and merge at the traffic speed.

A ball is thrown so that its initial vertical and horizontal components of velocity are 30 m/s and 15 m/s, respectively. Estimat
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

H = 45 m

Explanation:

First we find the launch velocity of the ball by using the following formula:

v₀ = √(v₀ₓ² + v₀y²)

where,

v₀ = launching velocity = ?

v₀ₓ = Horizontal Component of Launch Velocity = 15 m/s

v₀y = Vertical Component of Launch Velocity = 30 m/s

Therefore,

v₀ = √[(15 m/s)² + (30 m/s)²]

v₀ = 33.54 m/s

Now, we find the launch angle of the ball by using the following formula:

θ = tan⁻¹ (v₀y/v₀ₓ)

θ = tan⁻¹ (30/15)

θ = tan⁻¹ (2)

θ = 63.43°

Now, the maximum height attained by the ball is given by the formula:

H = (v₀² Sin² θ)/2g

H = (33.54 m/s)² (Sin² 63.43°)/2(10 m/s²)

<u>H = 45 m</u>

g An astronaut must journey to a distant planet, which is 189 light-years from Earth. What speed will be necessary if the astron
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

The value is v  =  2.999 *10^{8} \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The time taken to travel to the planet from earth is t = 189 \ light-years

    The  time to be spent on the ship is  t_{s} =  12 \  years

Generally speed can be obtained using the mathematical relation represented below

       t_s  =  2 * t *  \sqrt{1 -  \frac{v^2}{c^2 } }

The 2 in the equation show that the trip is a round trip i.e going and coming back

=>    12 =  2 * 189 *  \sqrt{1 -  \frac{v^2}{(3.0*10^{8})^2 } }

=>     v  =  2.999 *10^{8} \  m/s

Over 4 seconds, a car's momentum decreases by 1000 kg m/s how much force did it take to make this happen?
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

250N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Time  = 4s

Momentum  = 1000kgm/s

Unknown:

Force  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use Newton's second law of motion;

      Ft  = Momentum

F is the force

t is the time

So;

          F x 4 = 1000kgm/s

          F  = 250N

Which of the following statements about motion are true? Select all that apply.
Blababa [14]

Answer:

A, C, D

Explanation:

Newton's first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force.

and according to Newton's 4th law: An object that is at rest will stay at rest unless a force acts upon it. An object that is in motion will not change its velocity unless a force acts upon it.
