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

The electric field strength in the space between two closely spaced parallel disks is 1.0 10^5 N/C. This field is the result of
alex41 [277]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the capacitance in the disks, the difference of the potential and the load in the disc.

The capacitance can be expressed in terms of the Area, the permeability constant and the diameter:

C = \frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d}

Where,

\epsilon_0 = Permeability constant

A = Cross-sectional Area

d = Diameter

Potential difference between the two disks,

V = Ed

Where,

E = Electric field

d = diameter

Q = Charge on the disk equal to \rightarrow Q=ne=(3.9*10^9)(1.6*10^{-19})= 6.24*10^{-10}C

Through the value found and the expression given for capacitance and potential, we can define the electric charge as

Q = CV

Q = \frac{\epsilon A}{d}(Ed)

Q = \epsilon_0 AE

Q = \epsilon_0 \pi(\frac{d}{2})^2E

Q = \frac{\epsilon \pi d^2E}{4}

Re-arranging the equation to find the diameter of the disks, the equation will be:

d = \sqrt{\frac{4D}{\epsilon_0 \pi E}}

Replacing,

d = \sqrt{\frac{4(6.24*10^{-10})}{(8.85*10^{-12})\pi(1*10^{5})}}

d = 0.0299m

Therefore the diameter of the disks is 0.03m
