At t =0 one toy car is set rolling on a straight track with intial position 17.0 cm , intial velocity -3 cm/s, and constant acce

leration 2.30 cm/s^2 . At the same moment , another toy car is set rolling on an adjacent track with initial position 9.5 cm , intial velocity 5.0 cm/s, and constant zero acceleration. (A) at the time, if any, do the two cars have equal speeds? (B) what are their speeds at that time? (c) at what time(s) , if any , do the cars pass each other? (D) what are their location at that time?

Answer:

a) 5.65 s

b) 5cm/s

c) They will pass each other at both 1.1168 s and 5.84s

d)15.084cm and 38.7 cm

Explanation:

For part A, you need to keep in mind that acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. For a constant acceleration, this can be told in this way:

a = \frac{v - v_o}{t}

Reordering this equation, we can get v in terms of the initial velocity, the acceleration, and the time elapsed:

v = at + v_o

Now, we can get the expressions for velocity of each toy car, and equalize them:

v_1 =a_1t + v_o_1\\v_2 =a_2t + v_o_2\\v_1 = v2\\a_1t +v_o_1 =a_2t + v_o_2\\(a_1 - a_2)t = v_o_2 - v_o_1\\t = \frac{v_o_2 - v_o_1}{a_1 - a_2} = \frac{5cm/s - (-3cm/s)}{2.3 cm/s^2 - 0 cm/s^2}= 3.47 s

As toy car has no acceleration and, therefore, constant speed, both car will have the same speed when toy car 1 reaches this velocity = 5cm/s

c) The position of car 1, as it follows a constant acceleration motion, is given by this equation:

x_1 = \frac{1}{2}a_1t^2 + v_o_1t + x_o_1

The position for car 2, as it has constant velocity, is given by this equation:

x_2 = v_2t + x_o_2

We equalize both equation to find the time where the cars pass each other:

x_1 = x_2\\\frac{1}{2}a_1t^2 + v_o_1t + x_o_1 = v_2t+x_o_2\\\frac{1}{2} a_1t^2 + (v_o_1 - v_2)t + x_o_1 - x_o_2 = 0\\\frac{1}{2}2.3m/s^2t^2 +(-3cm/s-5cm/s)t+ 17cm - 9.5cm = 0\\1.15t^2 -8t + 7.5 = 0 | a = 1.15, b = -8, c = 7.5\\t = \frac{-b +-\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} = 5.84s | 1.1168 s

The car will pass each other at both 1.1168s and 5.84s.

For the positions, we solve any of the position equation with the solutions:

x = v_2*t + x_o_2 = 5cm/s *5.84s + 9.5cm = 38.7 cm\\x = 5cm/s * 1.1168s + 9.5cm = 15.084 cm

A well is being dug. A 4.5-kg bucket is filled with 28.0 kg of dirt and pulled vertically upward at a constant speed through a d
andreyandreev [35.5K]

The work done on the filled bucket in raising out of the hole is 2, 925 Joules

<h3>How to determine the work done</h3>

Using the formula:

Work done = force * distance

Note that force = mass * acceleration

F = mg + ma

F = 4. 5 * 10 + 28 * 10

F = 45 + 280

F = 325 Newton

Distance = 9m

Substitute into formula

Work done = 325 * 9

Work done = 2, 925 Joules

Therefore, the work done is 2, 925 Joules
