During a trial run, race car A starts from rest and accelerates uniformly along a straight level track for a particular interval

of time. Race car B also starts from rest and accelerates at the same rate, but for twice the time. At the end of their respective acceleration periods, which of the following statements is true? Car A has traveled a greater distance. Car B has traveled twice as far as A. Car B has traveled four times as far as car A. Both cars have traveled the same distance

Answer: car B has travelled 4times as far as Car A

d=vi*t+1/2at^2

No initial velocity so equation becomes;

d=1/2at^2 and the acceleration is the same between both only time is different;

Car A d=1/2a(1)^2

Car B d=1/2a(2)^2

Car A d= 1^2=1

Car B d= 2^2=4

Car B d=4*Car A

So car B has travelled 4 times as far as car A

Andru [333]
Since we are ignoring air resistance which is a non-conservative force, the potential energy will be completely converted into kinetic energy, resulting in a final kinetic energy of 5J.

What is the rate at which an object moves but doesn't include direction?
Juli2301 [7.4K]
Great question !

The rate at which an object covers distance, without worrying
about the direction it's moving, is the object's SPEED .

When the direction is also given, then you have the object's VELOCITY.


This question is important.  It gives us a chance to point out that
"velocity" is not just a fancy word for speed that you use when you
want to sound smart.  There's actually an important difference between
'speed' and 'velocity'.

What is in the crysphere
butalik [34]

I think you mean the Cryosphere?

But the answer is D- Earths Ice

This word Cryosphere comes from the greek word "kryos" which means cold

Many people think of the cryosphere as being the north and south poles  but snow and ice can be found in a lot of places on the Earth

As your hand moves back and forth to generate longitudinal pulses in a spiral spring, your hand completes 2.91 back-and-forth cy
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Wavelength, \lambda=0.011\ m

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of cycles in a spiral spring is 2.91 in every 3.67 s

The velocity of the pulse in the spring is 0.925 cm/s, v = 0.00925 m/s

To find,

Wavelength

Solution,

Number of cycles per unit time is called frequency of a wave. The frequency of the longitudinal pulse is,

f=\dfrac{2.91}{3.67}=0.79\ Hz

The wavelength of a wave is given by :

\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}

\lambda=\dfrac{0.00925\ m/s}{0.79\ Hz}

\lambda=0.011\ m

So, the wavelength of the longitudinal pulse is 0.011 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
