The x-coordinates of two objects moving along the x-axis are given as a function of time t. x1 = (4 m/s)t and x2 = −(159 m) + (2

4 m/s)t − (1 m/s2)t2 . Calculate the magnitude of the distance of closest approach of the two objects. x1 and x2 never have the same value.

The x-coordinate of the first object is
x₁(t) = (4 m/s)t

The x-coordinate of the second object is
x₂(t) = -(159 m) + (24 m/s)t - (1 m/s²)t²

The distance between the two objects is
x(t) = x₂ - x₁ 
      =  - 159 + 24t - t² - 4t
      = -t² + 20t  - 159

Write this equation in the standard form for a parabola.
x = -[t² - 20t] - 159
   = -[(t - 10)² - 100] - 159
   = -(t-10)² - 59

This parabola has a vertex at (-10,  -59), and it is downward.
Because the maximum value of x is negative, the two objects never touch
The closest distance between the objects is 59 m.

The two graphs confirm that the analysis is correct.

Answer: The closest approach is 59 m.

When you must add three vectors together, what is not true this process? You must only give a magnitude of the resultant vector
vovangra [49]

The addition of any numbers of vector provide the magnitude as well as the direction of the resultant vector, hence the mentioned first option is not true.

The addition of vector required to connect the head of the one vector with the tail of the other vector and any vector can be moved in the plane parallet to the previous location, so, the mentioned second and third options are true.

Two objects, A and B, are in contact with one another. Initially, the temperature of A is 50 °C and the temperature of B is 100
V125BC [204]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

because kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature so the hottor the object, the more kinetic energy.

A boy pushes a cart with a constant velocity of 0.5m/s by applying a force of 60 N. What is the total frictional force acting on
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

60N

Explanation:

in this case the minimum amount of force required must be equal to the friction Force. i.e <u>Newton</u><u>'s</u><u> </u><u>first</u><u> </u><u>law</u><u> of</u><u> </u><u>mot</u><u>ion</u><u>.</u>

therefore the maximum amount of frictional force is equal to the applied force which is 60N.

because of the net force acting on the object is zero the object is in constant motion . i.e equal and opposite force must be applied so that the object is in constant velocity therefore the total frictional force must be 60N

Which best describes how the current scientific model of the atom was developed?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

A. The model was the result of hundreds of years of experiments.

Explanation:

Since it is not possible to visualize an atom in isolation, scientists have spent hundreds of years experimenting and creating atomic models, that is, images that serve to explain the constitution, properties and behavior of atoms.

The earliest who imagined the existence of the atoms were the Greek philosophers Leucippus and Democritus in about 450 BCE. According to them, everything would be formed by tiny indivisible particles. Hence the origin of the name "atom", which comes from the Greek a (no) and tome (parts).

But in the nineteenth century, some scientists began to conduct experimental tests increasingly accurate thanks to technological advances. Not only was it discovered that everything was actually made up of tiny particles, but it was also possible to understand more and more about the atomic structure.

Scientists used the information discovered by other scholars to develop the atomic model. In this way, the discoveries of one scientist were replaced by those of others. The concepts that were correct remained, but those that proved to be non-real were now abandoned. Thus, new atomic models were created. This series of discoveries of the atomic structure until arriving at the accepted models today was known like the evolution of the atomic model.
