A car is initially traveling at 12 m/s when the driver sees a yellow light ahead. He accelerates at a constant 7 m/s^2 for 6 s i

n order to make it through the intersection. What was the velocity at the end of this time?

Answer:

v = 54m/s

Explanation:

$a = \frac{v - u}{t}$

a = 7m/s²

u = 12m/s

t = 6s

7 = (v-12)/6

v - 12 = 42

v = 54m/s

(Correct me if i am wrong)

Answer: $37^{\circ}$ North of west

Explanation:

Given

40,000-ton luxury line traveling 20 knots towards west and

60,000 ton freighter traveling towards North with 10 knots

suppose v is the common velocity after collision

conserving momentum in west direction

$20\times 40,000=(20,000+60,000)v\cos \theta$

suppose the final velocity makes \theta angle with x axis

$v\cos \theta =10----1$

Conserving Momentum in North direction

$10\times 60,000=80,000\times v\sin\theta$

$v\sin \theta =\frac{15}{2}----2$

divide 1 and 2

$\tan \theta =\frac{3}{4}$

$\theta =37^{\circ}$

so search in the area $37^{\circ}$ North of west to find the ship

What is a safe following distance between your automobile and the vehicle in front of you?

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Many drivers follow the “three-second rule.” In other words, you should keep three seconds worth of space between your car and the car in front of you in order to maintain a safe following distance.

How do you tell a stars life expectancy based on an hr diagram?

e-lub [12.9K]

The X-axis of the H-R Diagram indicates the star's surface temperature in degrees Kelvin. The Y-axis, on the other hand, indicates luminosity, or brightness.

Main sequence refers to a roughly diagonal, slightly S-curved line stretching between the upper-left and lower-right corners on which main sequence stars chart. They maintain a predictable relationship between luminosity and temperature: the brighter, the hotter. The upper-right quadrant of the H-R diagram is home to newly discovered red giants while the lower-left quadrant of the H-R Diagram belongs almost exclusively to white dwarfs.

In the design of a rapid transit system, it is necessary to balance the average speed of a train against the distance between st

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

a) t = 746 s

b) t = 666 s

Explanation:

a)

Total time will be the sum of the partial times between stations plus the time stopped at the stations.
Due to the distance between stations is the same, and the time between stations must be the same (Because the train starts from rest in each station) we can find total time, finding the time for any of the distance between two stations, and then multiply it times the number of distances.
At any station, the train starts from rest, and then accelerates at 1.1m/s2 till it reaches to a speed of 95 km/h.
In order to simplify things, let's first to convert this speed from km/h to m/s, as follows:

$v_{1} = 95 km/h *\frac{1h}{3600s}*\frac{1000m}{1 km} = 26.4 m/s (1)$

Applying the definition of acceleration, we can find the time traveled by the train before reaching to this speed, as follows:

$t_{1} = \frac{v_{1} }{a_{1} } = \frac{26.4m/s}{1.1m/s2} = 24 s (2)$

Next, we can find the distance traveled during this time, assuming that the acceleration is constant, using the following kinematic equation:

$x_{1} = \frac{1}{2} *a_{1} *t_{1} ^{2} = \frac{1}{2} * 1.1m/s2*(24s)^{2} = 316.8 m (3)$

In the same way, we can find the time needed to reach to a complete stop at the next station, applying the definition of acceleration, as follows:

$t_{3} = \frac{-v_{1} }{a_{2} } = \frac{-26.4m/s}{-2.2m/s2} = 12 s (4)$

We can find the distance traveled while the train was decelerating as follows:

$x_{3} = (v_{1} * t_{3}) + \frac{1}{2} *a_{2} *t_{3} ^{2} \\ = (26.4m/s*12s) - \frac{1}{2} * 2.2m/s2*(12s)^{2} = 316.8 m - 158.4 m = 158.4m (5)$

Finally, we need to know the time traveled at constant speed.
So, we need to find first the distance traveled at the constant speed of 26.4m/s.
This distance is just the total distance between stations (3.0 km) minus the distance used for acceleration (x₁) and the distance for deceleration (x₃), as follows:
x₂ = L - (x₁+x₃) = 3000 m - (316.8 m + 158.4 m) = 2525 m (6)

The time traveled at constant speed (t₂), can be found from the definition of average velocity, as follows:

$t_{2} = \frac{x_{2} }{v_{1} } = \frac{2525m}{26.4m/s} = 95.6 s (7)$

Total time between two stations is simply the sum of the three times we have just found:
t = t₁ +t₂+t₃ = 24 s + 95.6 s + 12 s = 131.6 s (8)
Due to we have six stations (including those at the ends) the total time traveled while the train was moving, is just t times 5, as follows:
tm = t*5 = 131.6 * 5 = 658.2 s (9)
Since we know that the train was stopped at each intermediate station for 22s, and we have 4 intermediate stops, we need to add to total time 22s * 4 = 88 s, as follows:
Ttotal = tm + 88 s = 658.2 s + 88 s = 746 s (10)

b)

Using all the same premises that for a) we know that the only difference, in order to find the time between stations, will be due to the time traveled at constant speed, because the distance traveled at a constant speed will be different.
Since t₁ and t₃ will be the same, x₁ and x₃, will be the same too.
We can find the distance traveled at constant speed, rewriting (6) as follows:

x₂ = L - (x₁+x₃) = 5000 m - (316.8 m + 158.4 m) = 4525 m (11)

The time traveled at constant speed (t₂), can be found from the definition of average velocity, as follows:

$t_{2} = \frac{x_{2} }{v_{1} } = \frac{4525m}{26.4m/s} = 171.4 s (12)$

Total time between two stations is simply the sum of the three times we have just found:
t = t₁ +t₂+t₃ = 24 s + 171.4 s + 12 s = 207.4 s (13)
Due to we have four stations (including those at the ends) the total time traveled while the train was moving, is just t times 3, as follows:
tm = t*3 = 207.4 * 3 = 622.2 s (14)
Since we know that the train was stopped at each intermediate station for 22s, and we have 2 intermediate stops, we need to add to total time 22s * 2 = 44 s, as follows:
Ttotal = tm + 44 s = 622.2 s + 44 s = 666 s (15)
