Answer:
(a) 3.807 s
(b) 145.581 m
Explanation:
Let Δt = t2 - t1 be the time it takes from the moment when the motorcycle starts to accelerate until it catches up with the car. We know that before the acceleration, both vehicles are travelling at a constant speed. So they would maintain a distance of 58 m prior to the acceleration.
The distance traveled by car after Δt (seconds) at speed is
The distance traveled by the motorcycle after Δt (seconds) at speed and acceleration of a = 8 m/s2 is
We know that the motorcycle catches up to the car after Δt, so it must have covered the distance that the car travels, plus their initial distance:
(b)
Answer:
25N
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Power of the motor = 125W
Average speed = 5m/s
Unknown:
Force supplied to the motor = ?
Solution:
Work done is the force applied to move a body through a particular distance;
Work done = Force x distance
Also,
Work done = Power x time
So;
Force x distance = Power x time
since force is the unknown;
Force =
Speed =
Force =
Now solve;
Force = = 25N
