Answer:

the Question is incomplete,the complete question is

"Cars A and B travel in a straight line. The distance of A from the starting point is given as a function of time by xA(t)=αt+βt2, with α=2.60m/s and β=1.20m/s2. The distance of B from the starting point is xB(t)=γt2−δt3, with y=2.80m/s2 and δ=0.20m/s3. (a) Which car is ahead just after the two cars leave the starting point? (b) At what time(s) are the cars at the same point? (c) At what time(s) is the distance from A to B neither increasing nor decreasing? (d) At what time(s) do A and B have the same acceleration?"

a.Car A is ahead after leaving the starting point

b.t=0secs,t=2.27secs and t=5.73secs

c.t=1secs and t=4.33secs

d .t=2.67secs

Explanation:

First we need to write out the giving expressions for the distance from the question

For distance A we have

x_{a}(t)=\alpha t +\beta t^{2}\\

and for distance B we have

x_{b}(t)=\gamma t^{2} -\δt^{3}\\.

a.  Note for us to compare the car that will be ahead we need to determine the initial velocity of each car i.e at t=0.

Since the expression for the velocity is not giving, we apply our knowledge of instantaneous motion which involves us differentiating the distance in order to get the velocity.

V=\frac{dx}{dt} \\

and recall  that for y=ax^{n} \\\frac{dy}{dx}=a*nx^{n-1}  \\

for velocity of car  A, we have

v_{a}=\frac{d(\alpha t +\beta t^{2})}{dt}\\v_{a}=\alpha +2\beta t\\

we substitute t=o

v_{a}=\alpha \\\\v_{a}=2.6m/s

for velocity of car  B, we have

v_{b}=\frac{d(\gamma  t^{2} -\delta t^{3})}{dt}\\v_{b}= 2\gamma t  -3\delta t^{2}\\

at t=0

v_{b}=0

in conclusion, since the initial velocity of car An is greater than that of car B, Car A is ahead after leaving the starting point

b. for the time at which the cars are the same point, we need to find the time at which the cars have equal position. this can be done by  equating the position of both cars i.e

x_{a}(t)=x_{b}(t)\\  \alpha t +\beta t^{2}=\gamma t^{2} -\δt^{3}\\

if we carry out simply arithmetic, we arrive at

\delta t^{2}+(\beta -\gamma)t +\alpha =0\\

applying quadratic formula, we determine the value of t to be

t=2.27secs \\t=5.73secs\\

also note that at the starting point before the two cares take-off they are also at the same position i.e at t=0 hence the time which the cars are at the same point are

t=0secs\\t=2.27secs \\t=5.73secs\\

c. the distance will be constant when the two cars move at the same velocity i.e

v_{a}=v_{b} \\

\alpha +2\beta t=2\gamma t -3\delta t^{2}\\

if we rearrange the equation and substitute the value of the constants, we arrive at

0.6t^{2} -3.2t +2.6=0\\

Solving the simple quadratic equation, we arrive at the values of t which are

t=1secs\\t=4.33secs\\

d. To determine the time at which the two cars will have the same acceleration, we need to determine the expression for the acceleration which we can get by differentiating the the velocity for each car

a_{a}(t)=\frac{d(\alpha +2\beta t) }{dt}\\ a_{a}(t)=2\beta \\

and for car B we have the acceleration to be

a_{b}(t)=\frac{d(2\gamma t - 3\delta t^{2})}{dt}\\ a_{b}(t)=2\gamma -6\delta t\\

Hence to have the same acceleration

a_{a}(t)=a_{b}(t)\\2\beta=2\gamma -6\delta t\\

Making t the subject of formula,

t=\frac{\gamma - \beta}{3\delta}\\t=\frac{2.8-1.3}{3*0.2}\\ t=2.67secs\\

Hence the cars will have the same acceleration at t=2.67secs

Answer:

a) They are in the same point

b) t = 0 s, t = 2.27 s, t = 5.73 s

c) t = 1 s, t = 4.33 s

d) t = 2.67 s

Explanation:

Given equations are:

x_{a}(t) = at+bt^2

x_{b}(t) = ct^2-dt^3

Constants are:

a = 2.60 m/s, b = 1.20 m/s^2, c= 2.80 m/s^2, d = 0.20 m/s^3

a) "Just after leaving the starting point" means that t = 0. So, if we look the equations, both x_a(t) and x_b(t) depend on t and don't have constant terms.

So both cars A and B are in the same point.

b) Firstly, they are in the same point in x = 0 at t = 0. But for generalized case, we must equalize equations and solve quadratic equation where roots will give us proper t value(s).

at+bt^2 = ct^2-dt^3

2.6t + 1.2t^2 = 2.8t^2 - 0.2t^3\\0.2t^2 - 1.6t + 2.6 = 0\\t^2 - 8t + 13 = 0

t_1 = 4 - \sqrt{3} = 2.27 s, t_1 = 4 + \sqrt{3} = 5.73 s

c) Since the distance isn't changing, the velocities are equal. To find velocities, we need to take the derivatives of both equations with respect to time and equalize them.

v_a(t) = \frac{d}{d(t)}x_a(t) = a + 2bt \\v_b(t) = \frac{d}{d(t)}x_b(t) = 2ct - 3dt^2\\a+2bt = 2ct - 3dt^2\\3dt^2+2(b-c)t+a = 0\\0.6t^2-3.2t+2.6 = 0

t_1 = 1 s, t_2 = 4.33 s

d) For same acceleration, we we need to take the derivatives of velocity equations with respect to time and equalize them.

a_a(t) = \frac{d}{d(t)}v_a(t) = 2b \\a_b(t) = \frac{d}{d(t)}v_b(t) = 2c - 6dt\\2b = 2c - 6dt\\3dt = c - b\\t = (c - b)/3d = (2.8 - 1.2)/(3*0.2) = 2.67 s

The minimum frequency of light needed to eject electrons from a metal is called the threshold frequency, ν0. find the minimum en
shusha [124]
The energy carried by the incident light is
E=hf
where h is the Planck constant and f is the frequency of the light. The threshold frequency is the frequency that corresponds to the minimum energy needed to eject the electrons from the metal, so if we substitute the threshold frequency in the formula, we get the minimum energy the light must have to eject the electrons:
E=hf=(6.63 \cdot 10^{-34}Js)(5.64 \cdot 10^{14}s^{-1})=3.74 \cdot 10^{-19}J

If a reaction starts with 30 grams how many should it end with ?
zysi [14]

30grams

Explanation:

If a reaction starts with 30grams then the reaction should end with 30grams.

This in conformity with the law of conservation of mass.

  • The law states that "in an isolated system, mass is neither created nor destroyed during chemical transformation".
  • Mass is the quantity of matter contained in a substance.
  • In chemical reactions, the mass of reactants must always be the same with the mass of the product baring any loss.
  • In an isolated system, there is no exchange of energy and mass.
  • Chemical systems are usually treated as isolated systems in which mass is conserved.

Which of the following statements are true at some time during the course of the motion? Check all that apply. Check all that ap
eduard

Answer:

The object can have zero velocity and, simultaneously, nonzero acceleration.

The object can have zero acceleration and, simultaneously, nonzero velocity.

The object can have nonzero velocity and nonzero acceleration simultaneously.

Explanation:

An object in simple harmonic motion has a total mechanical energy (sum of elastic potential energy and kinetic energy) that is constant:

E=U+K=1/2kx^2 + 1/2}mv^2

where,

k is equal to the spring constant

x is equal to the displacement

m is the mass

v is the speed

We can note that the force on the spring is given by Hook's law:

F=-kx

In Newton's law F = ma, this can be also be written as

ma=-kx

a=-k/mx

This implies that the acceleration is proportional to the displacement.

From the first equation, we can now states that:

When the displacement is zero, x=0, the acceleration is zero, a=0, and the velocity is maximum

When the velocity is zero, v=0, the acceleration is maximum, which occurs when the displacement is maximum

In all the other intermediate situations, both velocity and acceleration are nonzero.

So the correct answers are

The object can have zero acceleration and, simultaneously, nonzero velocity.

The object can have nonzero velocity and nonzero acceleration simultaneously.

The object can have zero velocity and, simultaneously, nonzero acceleration.

How much electrical energy is used by the river cooker oven rated 800 W ,230 V is switched on for 30 minutes
mariarad [96]

Answer:

E = 1440 kJ

Explanation:

It is given that,

Power of a cooker oven is 800 W

Voltage at which it is operated is 230 V

Time, t = 30 minutes = 1800 seconds

We need to find the electrical energy used by the cooker oven. The product of power and time is equal to the energy consumed. So,

E=P\times t\\\\E=800\ W\times 1800\ s\\\\E=1440000\ J\\\\\text{or}\\\\E=1440\ kJ

So, electrical energy of 1440 kJ is consumed by the cooker oven.
