Answer:

6.96 s

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • u = initial speed of the automobile = 0 m/s
  • a = constant acceleration of the automobile = 2.5\ m/s^2
  • v = constant speed of the truck = 8.7 m/s

<u>Assume:</u>

  • t = time instant at which the automobile overtakes the truck.

At the moment the automobile and the truck both meat each other the distance travel by both vehicles must be the same.

\therefore \textrm{Distance traveled by the automobile }=\textrm{Distance traveled by the truck}\\\Rightarrow ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2=vt\\\Rightarrow (0)t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2.5\times t^2=8.7t\\\Rightarrow 1.25t^2=8.7t\\\Rightarrow 1.25t^2-8.7t=0\\\Rightarrow t(1.25t-8.7)=0\\\Rightarrow t = 0\,\,\,or\,\,\, t = \dfrac{8.7}{1.25}\\\Rightarrow t = 0\,\,\,or\,\,\, t = 6.96\\

Since t = 0 s is the initial condition. So, they both meet again at t = 6.96 s such that the automobile overtakes the truck.

What equation describes conservation of charge?
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

The equation which describes conservation of charge is Q_{initial} - Q_{final } = 0

Explanation:

The law of conservation charge states that for an isolated system that sum of initial charges is equal to sum of final charges, that is the total charge is conserved.

let the sum of initial charges = Q_{initial}

let the sum of the final charges = Q_{final}

Q_{initial } = Q_{final}\\\\Q_{initial } - Q_{final} = 0

Therefore, the equation which describes conservation of charge is Q_{initial} - Q_{final } = 0

Countries create quotas and tariffs to increase the volume of trade with their neighbors.
Svetach [21]

Oooooo, that statement is not true.  Countries create quotas and tariffs to <em>LIMIT</em> the volume of trade with other countries, including their neighbors.
