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

Is it possible for one energy store to transfer into another energy store ?Explained answer
liraira [26]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Energy can be transferred from one object to another or between energy stores within the same object. For example on a pool table when white ball hits another ball energy is transferred from the kinetic store of the white ball to the kinetic store of the other ball.

Why should a physical quantity be measured?​
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

It allows us to understand nature much more deeply than does qualitative description alone.

Explanation:

Without explaining the measurements, a quantity cannot always be measured.

The balance between incoming solar energy and out going energy radiated into space is called...
marin [14]
Based on the physics principle of conservation of energy, this radiation budget represents the accounting of the balance between incoming radiation, which is almost entirely solar radiation, and outgoing radiation, which is partly reflected solar radiation and partly radiation emitted from the Earth system, including the atmosphere.
