At the instant the traffic light turns green, an automobile that has been waiting at an intersection starts ahead with a constan

t acceleration of 2.40 m/s^2. At the same instant, a truck, traveling with a constant speed of 15.5 m/s, overtakes and passes the automobile.
How far beyond its starting point does the automobile overtake the truck?

How fast is the automobile traveling when it overtakes the truck?

Answer

given,

Initial speed of the car = 0 m/s

acceleration of car = 2.4 m/s²

Speed of the truck = 15.5 m/s

to car to overtake the truck distance travel by both should be same

distance traveled by the truck

d = 15.5 t

distance traveled by the car

d = u t + 1/2 gt ²

d = 0.5 x 9.8 t²

now, equating both the equations

15.5 t = 4.9 t²

t = 3.163 s

Time taken by car to overtake truck is 3.163 s

distance travel by the car = 15.5 x 3.163

d = 49 m

b) Speed of the automobile

using equation of motion

    v = u + at

    v = 0 + 2.4 x 3.163

    v = 7.59 m/s

Speed of the automobile while crossing truck is equal to v = 7.59 m/s

What does frequency describe?
ddd [48]

The whole definition of frequency is:  <em>How often something happens.  </em>

Especially referring to something that happens over and over and over and over.

One example is Choice-C: How often the particles of a medium vibrate.

"Frequency" comes from the word "frequent".  That means "often", and "frequency" just means "often-ness" ... HOW often the thing happens.

Some other examples:

Frequency of jump-roping . . . maybe 60 per minute .

Frequency of rain . . . maybe 5 per month .

Frequency of an AM radio station . . . maybe 1 million waves per second.

(If it's something <u><em>per second</em></u>, then we call it "Hertz".  That's not for the car rental company.  It's for Heinrich Hertz, the German Physicist who was the first one to prove that electromagnetic waves exist.  He sent radio waves all the way ACROSS HIS LABORATORY and detected them at the other side ( ! ), in 1887.)

Frequency of the wiggles in the sound wave coming out of a trumpet playing the note ' A ' . . . 440 Hertz.

Frequency of sunrise and the Chicago Tribune newspaper . . . 1 per day

Frequency of the cycle of Moon phases and an average human woman's ovulation cycle: 1 per 29.531 days, 1 per ~28 days .

If an atom has an atomic number of 2, it will be stable with 2 electrons in its valence shell. Group of answer choices True Fals
torisob [31]

Answer: True

Explanation:

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or the number of electrons that are present in an electrically neutral atom.

Atomic number = Number of protons = number of electrons = 2

Electronic configuration represents the total number of electrons that a neutral element contains. We add all the superscripts to know the number of electrons in an atom.

The electronic configuration will be 1s^2

As its duplet is already complete and it has noble gas configuration , it is stable with 2 valence electrons.

How would you go about measuring the speed of a vehicle? What measurements would you have to take? What calculations would you h
White raven [17]

Answer:

For a body moving at a uniform velocity you can calculate the speed by dividing the distance traveled by the amount of time it took, for example one mile in 1/2 hour would give you 2 miles per hour. If the velocity is non-uniform all you can say is what the average speed is.

You are trying to decide between two new stereo amplifiers. One is rated at 130 W per channel and the other is rated at 200 W pe
NARA [144]

Answer:

The sound level will be 1.870 dB louder.

Explanation:

Given that,

Power = 130 W

Power = 200 W

We need to calculate the sound level

Using formula of sound level

I_{dB}=10\log(\dfrac{I}{I_{0}})

For one amplifier,

I_{1}=10\log(\dfrac{130}{I_{0}})...(I)

For other amplifier,

I_{2}=10\log(\dfrac{200}{I_{0}})...(II)

For difference in dB levels

I_{2}-I_{1}=10\log(\dfrac{200}{I_{0}})-10\log(\dfrac{130}{I_{0}})

I_{2}-I_{1}=10\log(\dfrac{200}{I_{0}}\times\dfrac{I_{0}}{130})

I_{2}-I_{1}=10\log(\dfrac{200}{130})

I_{2}-I_{1}=1.870\ dB

Hence, The sound level will be 1.870 dB louder.
