Answer:

the correct solution is 13 s

Explanation:

This is a kinematic problem, let's use accelerated rectilinear motion relationships.

For the first car it has an accelerometer of 2.0 m/s²

       x = v₀₁ t + ½ a₁ t²

The second car leaves the same point, but 4.0 seconds later

       x = v₀₂ (t-4) + ½ a₂ (t-4)²

With this form we use the same time for both cars.

The initial speeds are zero for both vehicles leave the rest, at the point where they are located has the same position

        x = ½ a₁ t²

        x = ½ a₂ (t-4)²

Let's solve

       a₁  t² = a₂ (t-4)²

      a₁/a₂ t² = t² -2 4 t + 16

      t² (1- 2.0 / 4.0) - 8 t +16

      t² 0.5 - 8 t +16 = 0

      t² -16 t + 32 = 0

Let's solve the second degree equation

     t = [16 ±√( 16² - 4 32)] / 2  

     t = ½ (16 ± 11,3)

Solutions

     t1 = 13.66 s

     t2 = 2.34 s

These are the mathematical solutions for the meeting point, but car 2 leaves after 4 seconds, so the only solution is 13.66 s

the correct solution is 13 s, if you have to select one the nearest 12s

You measure a watch's hour and minute hands to be 7.4 mm and 12.1 mm long, respectively. Part A In one day, by how much does the
pychu [463]

Answer:

109.385m

Explanation:

In 1 day, the hour hand travels 2 circles, or 4π rad in angular. The distance it travels is its angle times the radius

7.4 * 4π = 93 mm

In 1 day, the minute hand travels 24*60 = 1440 circles, or 1440 * 2π = 2880π rad in angular. The distance it travels is

12.1 * 2880π = 109478 mm

So the distance traveled by the tip of the minute hand that exceed the distance traveled by the tip of the hour hand is

109478 - 93 = 109385 mm or 109.385 m

A 4.0kg bowling ball sliding to the right at 8.0 m/s has an elastic head-on collision with another 4.0 kg bowling ball initially
Kisachek [45]

a)

We use the formula :

m1v1i + m2v2i = m1v1f + m2v2f

Substituting the values in:

4.0kg*8.0m/s + 4.0kg*0m/s = 4.0kg*0m/s +4.0kg*v2f

Calculating this we get:

32.0kg*m/s + 0kg*m/s = 0kg*m/s + 4.0kg*v2f

Rearrange for v2f:

v2f = \frac{32.0kg*m/s}{4.0kg}

This gives us 8.0 m/s as the final velocity of the second ball.

b)

Since the collision is assumed to be elastic it means that the kinetic energy must be equal before and after the collision.

This means we use the formula:

Ek = \frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2}+ \frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2} = \frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2} +  \frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}

Substituting in values:

Ek = 0.5*4.0kg*(8.0m/s)^2 + 0.5*4.0kg*(0m/s)^2 = 0.5*4.0kg*(0m/s)^2 + 0.5*4.0kg*(8.0m/s)^2

This simplifies to:

Ek= 128J + 0J = 0J + 128J

This shows us that the kinetic energy is equal on each side therefore the collision is Elastic and no energy has been lost.
