At the instant a traffic light turns green, a car starts from rest with a given constant acceleration of 0.5 m/s squared. Just a

s the light turns green, a bus, traveling with a given constant speed 16.0 m/s, passes the car. The car speeds up and passes the bus sometime later. How far down the road has the car traveled when the car passes the bus?

Answer:

d= 1024 m

Explanation:

Kinematics of the car

The car moves with uniformly accelerated movement we apply the following formula:

d= v₀t+ (1/2)*a*t² Formula (1)

Where:  

d:displacement in meters (m)  

t : time in seconds (s)

v₀: initial speed in m/s  

a: acceleration in m/s²

Data

v₀₁= 0   :initial speed of the car

a₁ =0.5 m/s² : acceleration of the car

Kinematics equation of the car

We replace data in the formula (1) :

d= 0+ (1/2)*0.5*t²

d= (0.25)*t²  Equation (1)

Kinematics of the bus

The car moves with uniformly movement ( constant speed) we apply the following formulas:

d= v*t   Formula (2)

Where:  

d:displacement in meters (m)  

t : time in seconds (s)

Data

v =  16 m/s

Kinematics equation of the bus

We replace data in the formula (2) :

d= 16*t   Equation (2)

<em>Problem development</em>

when the car passes the bus the elapsed time (t) and the distance (d) is equal for both.

Equation (1) = Equation (2)=d

(0.25)*t² =16*t  We divide both sides of the equation by t

(0.25)*t = 16

t= 16/(0.25)

t= 64 s

We replace t in the equation  (2)

d= 16*t

d= 16*(64)

d= 1024 m

A machinist turns the power on to a grinding wheel, which is at rest at time t = 0.00 s. The wheel accelerates uniformly for 10
sashaice [31]

Answer:

Time interval;Δt ≈ 37 seconds

Explanation:

We are given;

Angular deceleration;α = -1.6 rad/s²

Initial angular velocity;ω_i = 59 rad/s

Final angular velocity;ω_f = 0 rad/s

Now, the formula to calculate the acceleration would be gotten from;

α = Change in angular velocity/time interval

Thus; α = Δω/Δt = (ω_f - ω_i)/Δt

So, α = (ω_f - ω_i)/Δt

Making Δt the subject, we have;

Δt = (ω_f - ω_i)/α

Plugging in the relevant values to obtain;

Δt = (0 - 59)/(-1.6)

Δt = -59/-1.6

Δt = 36.875 seconds ≈ 37 seconds
