In fig. 2-27, a red car and a green car, identical except for the color, move toward each other in adjacent lanes and parallel t

o an x axis. at time t 0, the red car is at xr 0 and the green car is at xg 220 m. if the red car has a constant velocity of 20 km/h, the cars pass each other at x 44.5 m, and if it has a constant velocity of 40 km/h, they pass each other at x 76.6 m.what are (a) the initial velocity and (b) the constant acceleration of the green car?

Answer:

a) V₀ = 13.5m/s

b) a = 2.1 m/s²

Explanation:

1) Convert velocities to m/s

i) 20 km/h × 1000m/kg × 1h/3600s = 5.556m/s

ii) 40km/h = 11.111m/s

2) Red car, time elapsed to reach position x = 44.5m

Constant velocity ⇒ x = V×t ⇒ t = x / V

⇒ t₁ = 44.5m / 5.556m/s = 8s

3) Red car, time elapsed to reach position x = 77.6m

t₂ = 76.6m / 11.111/s = 6.9s

4) Green car, distance run at t₁ = 8s, x = 44.5m

i) uniform acceleration equation d = V₀t + at² / 2

ii) d = 220m - x = 220m - 44.5m = 175.5m = V₀ (8) + a (8)² /2

175.5 = 8V₀ + 32a ↔ equation (1)

5) Green car, distance run at t₂ = 6.9s, x = 76.6m

i) d = 220m - x = 220m - 76.6m = 143.4

ii) 143.4 = V₀t₂ + at₂² / 2

143.4 = V₀ (6.9) + a(6.9)² / 2

143.4 = 6.9V₀ + 23.8a ↔ equation (2)

6) Solve the system of equations:

175.5 = 8V₀ + 32a ↔ equation (1)

143.4 = 6.9V₀ + 23.8a ↔ equation (2)

V₀ = 13.5m/s

a = 2.1 m/s²

What is the wavelength associated with 0.113kg ball traveling with velocity of 43 m/s?
lesya [120]

Answer:

2.73×10¯³⁴ m.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass (m) = 0.113 Kg

Velocity (v) = 43 m/s

Wavelength (λ) =?

Next, we shall determine the energy of the ball. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 0.113 Kg

Velocity (v) = 43 m/s

Energy (E) =?

E = ½m²

E = ½ × 0.113 × 43²

E = 0.0565 × 1849

E = 104.4685 J

Next, we shall determine the frequency. This can be obtained as follow:

Energy (E) = 104.4685 J

Planck's constant (h) = 6.63×10¯³⁴ Js

Frequency (f) =?

E = hf

104.4685 = 6.63×10¯³⁴ × f

Divide both side by 6.63×10¯³⁴

f = 104.4685 / 6.63×10¯³⁴

f = 15.76×10³⁴ Hz

Finally, we shall determine the wavelength of the ball. This can be obtained as follow:

Velocity (v) = 43 m/s

Frequency (f) = 15.76×10³⁴ Hz

Wavelength (λ) =?

v = λf

43 = λ × 15.76×10³⁴

Divide both side by 15.76×10³⁴

λ = 43 / 15.76×10³⁴

λ = 2.73×10¯³⁴ m

Therefore, the wavelength of the ball is 2.73×10¯³⁴ m.
