A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at constant speed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcycle

are both traveling at the same speed of 18.0 m/s, and the distance between them is 58.0 m . After t1 = 5.00 secs, the motorcycle starts to accelerate at a rate of 4.00 m/s^2 . The motorcycle catches up with the car at some time t2 . A) How long does it take from the moment when the motorcycle starts to accelerate until it catches up with the car? In other words, find t2-t1 Express the time numerically in seconds using three significant figures. B) How far does the motorcycle travel from the moment it starts to accelerate (at time t1 ) until it catches up with the car (at time t2)? Should you need to use an answer from a previous part, make sure you use the unrounded value. Answer numerically in meters using three significant figures.

Answer:

a) \Delta{t} = 5.39s

b) the motorcycle travels 155 m

Explanation:

Let t_2-t_1 = \Delta{t}, then consider the equation of motion for the motorcycle (accelerated) and for the car (non accelerated):

v_{m2}=v_0+a\Delta{t}\\x+d=(\frac{v_0+v_{m2}}{2} )\Delta{t}\\v_c = v_0 = \frac{x}{\Delta{t}}

where:

v_{m2} is the speed of the motorcycle at time 2

v_{c} is the velocity of the car (constant)

v_{0} is the velocity of the car and the motorcycle at time 1

d is the distance between the car and the motorcycle at time 1

x is the distance traveled by the car between time 1 and time 2

Solving the system of equations:

\left[\begin{array}{cc}car&motorcycle\\x=v_0\Delta{t}&x+d=(\frac{v_0+v_{m2}}{2}}) \Delta{t}\end{array}\right]

v_0\Delta{t}=\frac{v_0+v_{m2}}{2}\Delta{t}-d \\\frac{v_0+v_{m2}}{2}\Delta{t}-v_0\Delta{t}=d\\(v_0+v_{m2})\Delta{t}-2v_0\Delta{t}=2d\\(v_0+v_0+a\Delta{t})\Delta{t}-2v_0\Delta{t}=2d\\(2v_0+a\Delta{t})\Delta{t}-2v_0\Delta{t}=2d\\a\Delta{t}^2=2d\\\Delta{t}=\sqrt{\frac{2d}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{2*58}{4}}=\sqrt{29}=5.385s

For the second part, we need to calculate x+d, so you can use the equation of the car to calculate x:

x = v_0\Delta{t}= 18\sqrt{29}=96.933m\\then:\\x+d = 154.933

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

1.65\times {-3} \text { s}

Explanation:

Current is the rate of flow of charge.

I=\dfrac{Q}{t}

t = \dfrac{Q}{I}

t = \dfrac{30.0}{18.2\times10^3} =1.65\times {0-3} = 1.65\times {-3} \text { s}

Forces normal to a particle's displacement do no work.
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

The work done is defined as the product of force applied in the direction of displacement and the displacement.

W = F x d x Cosθ

where, F is the force applied, d be the displacement and θ be the angle between the displacement and force.

For the normal forces, the angle between the displacement and the force applied is 90 degree, and the value of Cos 90 is zero, so the work done is zero.

300 ml of a gas at 27°C is Cooled at -3°c at Constant pressure the final volume is plzz answer fast i will mark brainliest ​
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:V₁=300ml

T₁=27°C

V₂=?

T₂= -3°C

as we know

V₁T₁=V₂T₂

By putting values in formula

300ml×27°C=V₂×(-3°C)

300ml×27°C/-3°C=V₂

8100ml/-3=V₂

-2700ml=V₂

or V₂=  -2700ml
