A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at 2.0 m/s2 toward the north. A second car starts from rest 4.0 s later at the

same point and accelerates uniformly at 4.0 m/s2 toward the north. How long after the second car starts does it overtake the first car? O 12 s O 19 s O 21 s o 24 s

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

A particle with charge 6 mC moving in a region where only electric forces act on it has a kinetic energy of 1.9000000000000001 J
Vesna [10]

Answer:

16.9000000000000001 J

Explanation:

From the given information:

Let the initial kinetic energy from point A be K_A = 1.9000000000000001 J

and the final kinetic energy from point B be K_B = ???

The charge particle Q = 6 mC = 6 × 10⁻³ C

The change in the electric potential from point B to A;

i.e. V_B - V_A = -2.5 × 10³ V

According to the work-energy theorem:

-Q × ΔV = ΔK

-Q \times ( V_B - V_A) = (K_B - K_A)

-(6\times 10^{-3}\ C) \times ( -2.5 \times 10^3) = (K_B - 1.9000000000000001 \ J)

15 = (K_B - 1.9000000000000001 \ J)

K_B = 15+ 1.9000000000000001 \ J

\mathbf{K_B =1 6.9000000000000001 \ J}

Convert 4 radians to degrees A. 242.6° B. 9.6° C. 229.2° D. 6.8°
muminat
The central angle of a circle is 360° or 2π radians.

Therefore
1 radian = (360 degrees)/(2π radians) = 180/π degrees/radian.
4 radians = (4 radians)*(180/π degrees/radian) = 229.18 degrees.

Answer: C.  229.2°
