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?

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 uniformly charged sphere has a total charge of 300uc and a radius of 8cm. Find the electric field density at A point 16cm from
s2008m [1.1K]

E = <u>kQ</u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u>

(r + h)²

where,

k = 9 × 10^9Nm²C^-2

Q = total charge, 300uC = 300 × 10^ -6C

r = 8 × 10^ -2m

h = 16 × 10^ -2m

then,

E = <u>9</u><u>e</u><u>9</u><u> </u><u>*</u><u> </u><u>3</u><u>0</u><u>0</u><u>e</u><u>^</u><u>-</u><u>6</u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u>

(8e^-2 + 16e^-2)²

E = 4687500N/C

MRU(movimiento rectilineo uniforme) un movil viaja en linea recta con una velocidad media de 12metros /segundos durante 9segundo
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

a) 141.6m

b) 8.4m/s

Explanation:

a) to find the total displacement you use the following formula for each trajectory. Next you sum the results:

x_1=v_1t_1=(12m/s)(9s)=108m\\\\x_2=v_2t_2=(4.8m/s)(7s)=33.6m\\\\x_T=x_1+x_2=108m+33.6m=141.6m

hence, the total distance is 141.6m

b) the mean velocity of the total trajectory is given by:

v_m=\frac{v_1+v_2}{2}=\frac{12m/s+4.8m/s}{2}=8.4\frac{m}{s}

hence, the mean velocity is 8.4 m/s
