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 1600kg cannon fires a 5kg cannonball horizontally. The exit velocity of the cannonball is 80m/s and the barrel length is 2m. W
evablogger [386]

Answer:

 a = 1600 m / s²

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the kinematics relations,

         v² = v₀² + 2 a x

where v₀ is the initial velocity of the bullet, which as part of rest is zero, for the distance (x) we can assume that the gases accelerate along the entire trajectory of the cannon x = 2m

         a = \frac{v^2}{2x}

let's calculate

         a = \frac{80^2}{2 \ 2}

         a = 1600 m / s²

WORTH 47 POINTS!!! It's EASY too!
Vikentia [17]
The Factors are Temperature and kinetic energy, the temperature is because the particles are going to move fast which means the particles in a solid container or in solid pattern they will actually vibrate and they will expand , when temperature increase, more kinetic energy between the particles .
examples is that in the steel when you heat a steel the particles inside it will vibrate then the particles speed up because the vibration increases, therefore the temperature increases so a a thermal expansion occurs that the vibration of the particles will take up more space so the steel bar expands slightly in all Direction if the temperature Falls the reverse happens and the material or steel contracts which means get smaller .
another example is the thermometer, the thermometer has a liquid inside it which is Mercury or alcohol this liquid expands when the temperature rises, the tube is made narrow so that a small increase in volume of the liquid produces a large movement along the tube.
