Car A is traveling north on a straight highway and car B is traveling west on a different straight highway. Each car is approach

ing the intersection of these highways. At a certain moment, car A is 0.4 km from the intersection and traveling at 75 km/h while car B is 0.3 km from the intersection and traveling at 70 km/h. How fast is the distance between the cars changing at that moment? km/h

Answer:

102 km/h

Explanation:

x = distance of car A at any time from the intersection

x₀ = distance of car A at some time = 0.4 km

v_{A} = Speed of car A = 75 km/h

y = distance of car B at any time from the intersection

y₀ = distance of car B at some time = 0.3 km

v_{B} = Speed of car B = 70 km/h

d = distance between the two cars at any time

d₀ = distance between the two cars at some time

v = rate of change of distance between the cars

Using Pythagorean theorem

d²₀ = x₀² + y₀²

d²₀ = 0.4² + 0.3²

d₀ = 0.5 m

Distance between the two cars at any time is given using Pythagorean theorem as

d² = x² + y²

Taking derivative both side relative to "t"

2d \left ( \frac{dd}{dt} \right ) = 2x ( \frac{dx}{dt} \right ) + 2y ( \frac{dy}{dt} \right )

d_{o} v = x_{o} ( \frac{dx}{dt} \right ) + y_{o} ( \frac{dy}{dt} \right )

(0.5) v = (0.4) v_{A} + (0.3) v_{B}

(0.5) v = (0.4) (75) + (0.3) (70)

v = 102 km/h

Work is a transfer of (1 point) energy. force. mass. motion.
jok3333 [9.3K]
Energy is the ability to do work.

So work can not be done without the transfer of energy from one body to another.

Work is the transfer of energy.

A tow truck exerts a net horizontal force of 1050 N on a 760-kg car. What is the acceleration of the car during this time?
vovikov84 [41]
We can solve the problem by using Newton's second law of motion:
F=ma
where
F is the net force applied to the object
m is the object's mass
a is the acceleration of the object

In this problem, the force applied to the car is F=1050 N, while the mass of the car is m=760 kg. Therefore, we can rearrange the equation and put these numbers in, in order to find the acceleration of the car:
a= \frac{F}{m}= \frac{1050 N}{760 kg}=1.4 m/s^2

The equation also tells us that the acceleration and the force have same directions: therefore, since the force exerted on the car is horizontal, the correct answer is
<span>B) 1.4 m/s2 horizontally.</span>

A motorcycle is speeding along at a velocity of120kph.Then, it changes to a velocity of 150 kph for 2 minutes.What is the motorc
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

a=v-u/t

a=acceleration

v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

t=tme taken

we need to convert from kph to ms⁻¹

v= 150*1000/60*60= 41.67ms⁻¹

u= 120*1000/60*60= 33.33ms⁻¹

t= 2*60= 120s

a=41.67-33.33/120

a=8.34/120

a=0.0694ms⁻²
