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

rjkz [21]

Hi there!

We can use Newton's Second Law:

\Sigma F = ma

∑F = net force (N)

m = mass (kg)

a = acceleration (m/s²)

We are given the mass and acceleration, so:

∑F = 20 · 2 = <u>40 N</u>

Stephanie serves a volleyball from a height of 0.80 m and gives it an initial velocity of +7.2 m/s straight up. how high will th
Papessa [141]
<span>3.78 m Ignoring resistance, the ball will travel upwards until it's velocity is 0 m/s. So we'll first calculate how many seconds that takes. 7.2 m/s / 9.81 m/s^2 = 0.77945 s The distance traveled is given by the formula d = 1/2 AT^2, so substitute the known value for A and T, giving d = 1/2 A T^2 d = 1/2 9.81 m/s^2 (0.77945 s)^2 d = 4.905 m/s^2 0.607542 s^2 d = 2.979995 m So the volleyball will travel 2.979995 meters straight up from the point upon which it was launched. So we need to add the 0.80 meters initial height. d = 2.979995 m + 0.8 m = 3.779995 m Rounding to 2 decimal places gives us 3.78 m</span>

What are the effects of gravity on earth?​
Sliva [168]

Answer:

Without it, we could not survive on Earth. Earth orbits the sun due to the gravity of the sun, which maintains us at a convenient distance from it to enjoy the sun's warmth and light. It keeps the air we need to breathe and our atmosphere in place. Our planet is held together by gravity.
