A car starts from rest at a stop sign. It accelerates at 4.0 m/s2 for 3 seconds, coasts for 2 s, and then slows down at a rate o

f 3.0 m/s2 for the next stop sign. How far apart are the stop signs?

You need to divide the problem into three parts:

a) accelerated motion
what we know: initial velocity vi = 0, time t = 3s, acceleration a = 40m/s²;
the formula to find the space is: s = vi + 1/2·a·t²
all the units of measurement are fine,
therefore: s = 0 + 1/2·4·9 = 18m

b) constant motion
we know t = 2s and that the velocity here is equal to the final velocity (vf) of part a), which we need to calculate:
vf = vi + a·t which brings vf = 0 + 4·3 = 12m/s;
we can know calculate the total space with the formula s = vf·t = 12·2 = 24m

c) decelerated motion
we know the acceleration a = -3m/s² (minus because the velocity is decresing) and the initial velocity which is equals to the velocity of part b), therefore vi = 12m/s
we need to calculate first the time taken to bring the car to stop, we can use the formula t = v/a = 12/3 = 4s
we can know calculate the space through the formula 
s = vi·t + 1/2·a·t² = 12·4 + 1/2·(-3)·(4²) = 48 - 24 = 24m

We can now sum up the three spaces found to get the total distance between the stop signs:
s = sa + sb + sc = 18+24+24 = 66m

If a microwave oven produces electromagnetic waves with a frequency of 2.30 ghz, what is their wavelength?
vovikov84 [41]

Answer: wavelength is 1.30 \times 10^8 nm.

The frequency of the microwave is, f = 2.30 GHz.

To Find frequency use the formula:

c=fλ

Where, c is the speed of electromagnetic wave or light. f is the frequency, and λ is the wavelength of light.

Rearranging, \lambda = \frac{c}{f}

Plug in the values,

\lambdam = \frac{3 \times 10^8 m/s}{2.30 GHz\frac{10^9 Hz}{1 GHz}}=0.130 m\frac{10^9 nm}{1 m} = 1.30 \times 10^8 nm.
