Cars A and B travel along the same straight track. Car A is located at position s1 at clock reading t1 and it maintains a consta

nt speed of v1. Car B is located at position s2 < s1 at clock reading t2, and it maintains a constant speed of v2 > v1. Find an expression for the clock reading at which car B will overtake car A. Find also an expression for the position at which car B overtakes car A. Evaluate your expressions for the values s1 = 0.75 meters, t1 = 0.00 seconds, v1 = 0.38 m s−1 , s2 = 0.0 meters, t2 = 0.08 seconds, and v2 = 0.78 m s−1 .

Answer:

a) t=\frac{S1-V1*t1 - S2 + V2*t2}{V2-V1}

b) X = S2 - V2*t2 + V2*\frac{S1-V1*t1 - S2 + V2*t2}{V2-V1}

c) t = 2.031s      X = 1.52m

Explanation:

Let X1 be position of car A as a function of time and X2 be the position of car B as a function of time:

X1 = Xo1 + V1*t     If we evaluate this expression at t=t1

S1 = Xo1 + V1*t1    Solving for Xo1 we get its initial position at t=0:

Xo1 = S1 - V1*t1    

Similarly for car B:

Xo2 = S2 - V2*t2

Now, to find the instant when car B overtakes car A:

X1 = X2   Replacing their functions in time:

(S1 - V1*t1) + V1*t  = (S2 - V2*t2) + V2*t   Solving for t:

t=\frac{S1-V1*t1 - S2 + V2*t2}{V2-V1}   This is the instant when B reaches A

If we replace this expression in either X1 or X2 expression, we get that position:  X1 = X2

X1 = X2 = X = S2 - V2*t2 + V2*\frac{S1-V1*t1 - S2 + V2*t2}{V2-V1}

If we evaluate these two expressions with the given values:

t = 2.031s  and   X = 1.52m

What is the relationship between distance and sound wave return time?
nekit [7.7K]
The time for the echo to return is directly proportional to the distance. vw = fλ. In a given medium under fixed conditions, vw is constant, so that there is a relationship between f and λ; the higher the frequency, the smaller the wavelength.

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

3.626 m/s

Explanation:

v=d/t

1. -0.02/0 = 0 m/s

2. 0.86/0.2 = 4.3 m/s

3. 1.71/0.4 = 4.275 m/s

4. 2.54/0.6 = 4.23 m/s

5. 3.32/0.8 = 4.15 m/s

6. 4.08/1.0 = 4.08 m/s

7. 4.79/1.2 = 3.99 m/s

8. 5.48/1.4 = 3.91 m/s

9. 6.15/1.6 = 3.84 m/s

10. 6.76/1.8 = 3.76 m/s

11. 7.37/2.0 = 3.66 m/s

12. 7.92/2.2 = 3.6 m/s

13. 8.45/2.4 = 3.52 m/s

14. 8.96/2.6 = 3.45 m/s

the mean of these numbers is 3.626

his average velocity ks 3.626 m/s
