1) The car overtakes the truck at a distance of 160 m far from the intersection.
2) The velocity of the car is 40 m/s
Explanation:
1)
The car is travelling with a constant acceleration starting from rest, so its position at time t (measured taking the intersection as the origin) is given by
where
is the acceleration
t is the time
On the other hand, the truck is travelling at a constant velocity, therefore its position at time t is given by
where
v = 20 m/s is the velocity of the truck
t is the time
The car overtakes the truck when the two positions are the same, so when
So, after a time of 8 seconds. Therefore, the distance covered by the car during this time is
So, the car overtakes the truck 160 m far from the intersection.
2)
The motion of the car is a uniformly accelerated motion, so the velocity of the car at time t is given by the suvat equation
where
v is the velocity at time t
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
For the car in this problem, we have:
u = 0 (it starts from rest)
And we know that the car overtakes the truck when
t = 8 s
Substituting into the equation,

The watt is a rate, similar to something like speed (miles per hour) and other time-interval related measurements.
Specifically, watt means Joules per Second. We are given that the electrical engine has 400 watts, meaning it can make 400 joules per second. If we need 300 kJ, or 3000 Joules, then we can write an equation to solve the time it would take to reach this amount of joules:
w * t = E
w: Watts
t: Time
E: Energy required
(Watts times time is equal to the energy required)
<u>Input our values:</u>
400 * t = 3000
(We need to write 3000 joules instead of 300 kilojoules, since Watts is in joules per second. It's important to make sure your units are consistent in your equations)
<u>Divide both sides by 400 to isolate t:</u>
<u /> =
t = 7.5 (s)
<u>It will take 7.5 seconds for the 400 W engine to produce 300 kJ of work.</u>
