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.

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

t = 5.05 s

Explanation:

This is a kinetic problem.

a) to solve it we must fix a reference system, let's use a fixed system on the floor where the height is 0 m

b) in this system the equations of motion are

              y = v₀ t + ½ g t²

where v₀ is the initial velocity that is v₀ = 0 and g is the acceleration of gravity that always points towards the center of the Earth

e)    y = 0 + ½ g t²

     t = √ (2y / g)

     t = √(2 125 / 9.8)

     t = 5.05 s

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

f1 = 58.3Hz, f2 = 175Hz, f3 = 291.6Hz

Explanation:

lets assume speed of sound is 350 m/s.

frequencies of a standing wave modes of an open-close tube of length L

fm = m(v/4L)

where m is 1,3,5,7......

and fm = mf1

where f1 = fundamental frequency

so therefore: f1 = 350 x 4 / 1.5

f1 = 58.3Hz

f2 = 3 x 58.3

f2 = 175Hz

f3 = 5 x 58.3

f3 = 291.6Hz

1. Which statement about friction is true?(1 point) A. Static friction and kinetic friction in a system always act in the same d
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

true 1Ay 2D

Explanation:

1) In this exercise you are asked to investigate which statements are true

A) True. The friction force opposes the movement caused by the external force,

B) False. Mantuano in the opposite direction force

C) False. The static and scientific friction force act in the same direction, since the second appears when the movement does not start and the static friction decreases.

D) Fale the static and kinetic friction forces act in the same direction

2) How to overcome friction on a ramp

A) False. If the texture of the surface becomes rough, the friction force increases

B) False. Pressing the brick against the surface increases the normal and as the friction is proportional to the normal, it also increases

C) False. By lowering the table the weight component in the friction direction decreases

D) True. When lifting the board, the weight component increases and therefore can become greater than the friction
