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 fast is the blue car going 2.8 seconds after it starts?

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

For constant acceleration:
a = v,final - v,initial /t

The solutions is as follows:

 a = v,final - v,initial /t
 3.8 = (v - 0)/2.8 s
 v = 10.64 m/s
 After 2.8 seconds, the speed of the blue car is 10.64 m/s.

Answer:

481 m

Explanation:

To fall 235 m, the time required is

t = √(2H/g)

t= √(2\times235/9.8)

t=6.92 seconds.

The supplies will travel forward

6.92 \times 69.4 ≈ 481 m

Therefore, the goods must be dropped 481  m in advance of the recipients.

An electric motor rotates 60 times per second if the alternating current source is 60 Hz. How many times will an electric motor
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

180,000

Explanation:

Frequency is a quantity that is measured in Hertz [Hz] and it represents the number of rotations per second.

A motor with a frequency of 50 Hz will rotate 50 times per second.

Since we don't want to know how many times it rotates per second, but per hour. The first step is to find how many seconds there are in an hour and then multiply that amount by 50.

Seconds in an hour:

there are 60 seconds per minute, and 60 minutes per hour, thus there are

60*60 = <u>3,600 seconds in an hour</u>

We know that the motor will rotate 50 times per second so to find the number of rotations in 1 hour =  3,600 seconds we multiply:

50*3,600 = 180,000 rotations
