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 cue ball, moving with 9.0 N·s of momentum strikes the nine-ball at rest. The nine-ball moves off with 2.0 N·s in the original
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

P = 7.28 N.s

Explanation:

given,

initial momentum of cue ball in x- direction,P₁ = 9 N.s

momentum of nine ball in  x-  direction, P₂ = 2 N.s

momentum in perpendicular direction i.e. y - direction,P'₂ = 2 N.s

momentum of the cue after collision = ?

using conservation of momentum

in x- direction

P₁ + p = x  + P₂

p is the initial momentum of the nine balls which is equal to zero.

9 + 0  = x  + 2

x = 7 N.s

momentum in x-direction.

equating along y-direction

P'₁ + p = y + P'₂

0 + 0 = y + 2

y = -2 N.s

the momentum of the cue ball after collision is equal to resultant of the momentum .

P = \sqrt{x^2+y^2}

P = \sqrt{7^2+(-2)^2}

      P = 7.28 N.s

the momentum of the cue ball after collision is equal to P = 7.28 N.s

Using at least 3 to 4 complete content related sentences describe the first and second postulate of special relativity.
Andrew [12]
Nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. As such, perceptions of objects and time change as they approach light speed, but the laws of physics remain consistent regardless of speed. Objects will appear shortened and time will appear to slow down around an observer approaching near light speeds, but all quantities still exist as they did before and all causality is preserved, even if observers in different points or traveling at different speeds will report different things.
