Two cars start from rest at a red stop light. When the light turns green, both cars accelerate forward. The blue car accelerates

uniformly at a rate of 3.8 m/s2 for 4.6 seconds. It then continues at a constant speed for 9.2 seconds, before applying the brakes such that the car’s speed decreases uniformly coming to rest 257.71 meters from where it started. The yellow car accelerates uniformly for the entire distance, finally catching the blue car just as the blue car comes to a stop.
How far does the blue car travel before its breaks are applied to  slow down?

First, create an illustration of the motion of the two cars as shown in the attached picture. The essential equations used are:

For constant acceleration:
a = v,final - v,initial /t
d = v,initial*t + 1/2*at²

For constant velocity:
d = constant velocity*time

The solutions is as follows:

   a = v,final - v,initial /t
  3.8 = (v₁ - 0)/4.6 s
  v₁ = 17.48 m/s

    Total distance = d1 + d2 + d3
    d1 = d = v,initial*t + 1/2*at²
    d2 = constant velocity*time
    
   Total distance =  0*(4.6) + 1/2*(3.8)(4.6)² + (17.48)(9.2) + d3= 257.71
   d3 = 56.69 m

A car with a constant velocity of 22 m/s is driven for 6.8 s. How far did it travel? (V =A d/AT)
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer: 150 m

Explanation:

velocity = 22 m/s

t = 6.8 s

velocity = \frac{distance}{time}

distance = velocity × time

= 22 × 6.8

= 149.6 m

≈ 150 m

The astronomer who discovered the dwarf planet Eris suggests there might be another object far beyond the Kupier belt. If this P
PolarNik [594]

These objects would be classified as extreme trans Neptunian object (ETNO).

Explanation:

ETNO’s are the objects lying beyond the planet Neptune and orbiting the Sun. They follow a highly eccentric path which is tilted. ETNO has been grouped into three major according to their respective perihelia.  

Within this region (beyond Neptune’s orbit), a hypothetical planet has been discovered. It was discovered following its gravitational effect on the other objects of Kuiper Belt (region beyond the orbit of the Neptune- the last planet of our Solar system)

The Planet is assumed to be around 2 times the Earth’s size and around 10 times heavier than Earth.

Explain Energy Transformation using the image below and how the Law of Conservation of Energy is maintained.
Karolina [17]

The chemical energy of petrol is converted to heat energy on combustion. The heat energy is converted to kinetic energy by the use of internal combustion engines in vehicles. The law of conservation of energy is maintained in each process.

<h3>What is kinetic energy?</h3>

The kinetic energy of an object is associated with its motion. It can be related to the mass and velocity as

K.E = 1/2 mv²

Given is a diagram of energy conversion due to combustion.

The chemical energy of petrol is converted to heat energy on combustion. The heat energy is converted to kinetic energy by the use of internal combustion engines in vehicles.

The law of conservation of energy states that the energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can be only converted to one form to the other.

In the given process, the mass decreases but energy remains the same in all forms of energy.

Hence, the law of conservation of energy is maintained in each process
