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

What is inertia? That is all but I need 20 characters to ask lol
damaskus [11]
Inertia, property of a body by virtue of which it opposes any agency that attempts to put it in motion or, if it is moving, to change the magnitude or direction of its velocity. Inertia is a passive property and does not enable a body to do anything except oppose such active agents as forces and torques.

The next four questions refer to the situation below.
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

 t_{out} = \frac{v_s - v_r}{v_s+v_r} t_{in},      t_{out} = \frac{D}{v_s +v_r}

Explanation:

This in a relative velocity exercise in one dimension,

let's start with the swimmer going downstream

its speed is

         v_{sg 1} = v_{sr} + v_{rg}

The subscripts are s for the swimmer, r for the river and g for the Earth

with the velocity constant we can use the relations of uniform motion

           v_{sg1} = D / t_{out}

           D = v_{sg1}  t_{out}

now let's analyze when the swimmer turns around and returns to the starting point

        v_{sg 2} =  v_{sr}  - v_{rg}

         v_{sg 2} = D / t_{in}

         D = v_{sg 2}  t_{in}

with the distance is the same we can equalize

           v_{sg1} t_{out} = v_{sg2} t_{in}

          t_{out} =  t_{in}

           t_{out} = \frac{v_s - v_r}{v_s+v_r} t_{in}

This must be the answer since the return time is known. If you want to delete this time

            t_{in}= D / v_{sg2}

we substitute

            t_{out} = \frac{v_s - v_r}{v_s+v_r} ()

            t_{out} = \frac{D}{v_s +v_r}
