Answer:

a-)v_{x} = 25.69 m/s

b-)v_{x} = 32.86 m/s

c-)a = \frac{\sqrt{ \frac{2P}{m}}}{ 2\sqrt{t}}}\\

d-)a= 3.87 m/s^{2}

e-)a= 1.22 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

First, lay out the given data:

P = 3.6 x 10^4 W

m=1200 kg

v_{x} ^{2}=\frac{2P}{m}t\\v_{x} ^{2}=\frac{2*3.6*10^{4}}{1200} *t

a)What is the car's speed at t=11 s ?

v_{x}^{2}=\frac{2*3.6*10^{4}}{1200} *t\\v_{x}=\sqrt{60*11} \\v_{x} = 25.69 m/s

b) What is the car's speed at t=18 s ?

v_{x}^{2}=\frac{2*3.6*10^{4}}{1200} *t\\v_{x}=\sqrt{60*18} \\v_{x} = 32.86 m/s

c) Find a symbolic expression, in terms of P, m, and t, for the car's acceleration at time t.

An expression for the acceleration can be defined by finding the derivative of the velocity equation:

v_{x} =\sqrt{ \frac{2P}{m}t}\\\frac{d(v_{x})}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(\sqrt{ \frac{2P}{m}t})\\\frac{d(v_{x})}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(\sqrt{ \frac{2P}{m}}*t^{\frac{1}{2}} )\\\frac{d(v_{x})}{dt} = (\sqrt{ \frac{2P}{m}}* \frac{1}{2}t^{\frac{-1}{2}} )\\\\\frac{d(v_{x})}{dt} = \frac{\sqrt{ \frac{2P}{m}}}{ 2\sqrt{t}}}\\a = \frac{\sqrt{ \frac{2P}{m}}}{ 2\sqrt{t}}}\\

d) Evaluate the acceleration at t=1.0 s

a = \frac{\sqrt{ \frac{2P}{m}}}{ 2\sqrt{t}}}\\\\a = \frac{\sqrt{ \frac{2*3.6*10^{4}}{1200}}}{ 2\sqrt{1}}}\\\\a= 3.87 m/s^{2}

e) Evaluate the acceleration at t=10 s

a = \frac{\sqrt{ \frac{2P}{m}}}{ 2\sqrt{t}}}\\\\a = \frac{\sqrt{ \frac{2*3.6*10^{4}}{1200}}}{ 2\sqrt{10}}}\\\\a= 1.22 m/s^{2}

An 8.0 cm object is 40.0 cm from a concave mirror that has a focal length of 10.0 cm. Its image is 16.0 cm in front of the mirro
svet-max [94.6K]
 We can rearrange the mirror equation before plugging our values in. 
1/p = 1/f - 1/q. 
1/p = 1/10cm - 1/40cm
1/p = 4/40cm - 1/40cm = 3/40cm
40cm=3p  <-- cross multiplication
13.33cm = p

Now that we have the value of p, we can plug it into the magnification equation.

M=-16/13.33=1.2
1.2=h'/8cm
9.6=h'

So the height of the image produced by the mirror is 9.6cm.

You observe two cars traveling in the same direction on a long, straight section of Highway 5. The red car is moving at a consta
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

1)  3.66 s

2) 124.44 m

3) 3.12 s

Explanation:

Let's start by first listing down the information in the question.

Red Car : 34 m/s

Blue Car: 28 m/s

Distance between them : 22 m

The difference in speed between the cars is: 34 - 28 = 6 m/s

This means that the red car is catching up to the blue car at a speed of 6 m/s.

1) We can solve this by just dividing the distance by the difference in speed. This becomes:    \frac{Distance}{Speed}= \frac{22}{6} =   3.66

Thus it takes 3.66 seconds for the red car to catch up to the blue car.

2) We know from (1) that it took 3.66 seconds for the red car to catch up. Since the speed it was travelling at is constant, we only need to multiply it by the time from (1) to get the distance.

This becomes:    Speed * Time = 34 * 3.66 = 124.44

Thus the red car travels 124.44 m before catching up to the blue car.

3) If the red car starts to accelerate the moment we see it, the time taken to get to the blue car will be less than before. We can find this in a simple way.

We can use the motion equation : s = u*t + \frac{1}{2}(a * t^2)

Here s = 22 m

We can take u as the difference in speed. u = 6 m/s

Acceleration a = (2/3) m/s^2

Substituting the these into the equation we get:

22 = 6t + \frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{3}t^2)

Solving this for the variable 't' using the quadratic formula we get the following two answers:

t1  = 3.12 s

t2 = - 21.12 s

Since t2 is not possible, the answer is t1. This means it takes 3.12 seconds for the red car to catch up to the blue.
