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

Please help with 3 questions about acceleration
Goryan [66]

A great, helpful, useful definition of acceleration is

<em>A = (change in speed) / (time for the change)</em> .   <== you should memorize this

This simple tool will directly solve all 3 problems.

The REASON for assigning these problems for homework is NOT to find the answers.  It's to help YOU find out whether you know this definition, to let you go back and review it if you don't, and to give you a chance to practice using it if you do.  Noticed that if you get the answers from somebody else, you lose all of these benefits.

The only wrinkle anywhere here is in #3, because when you use this definition,      the unit of time has to be the same in both the numerator and the denominator.  

So for #3, you have to EITHER  change the km/hr to km/sec, OR change the 4sec to a fraction of an hour, before you plug anything into the definition.

A comet is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun. Its closest approach to the Sun is a distance of 4.8 1010 m (inside the orbit
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

Distance d_i = 4.8 \times 10^{10} \ m

Speed of the comet V_i = 9.1 \times 10^{4} \ m/s

At distance d_2 = 6 \times 10^{12} \ m

where;

mass of the sun = 1.98 \times 10^{30}

G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11}

To find the speed V_f:

Using the formula:

E_f = E_i + W \\ \\  where; \  \  W = 0  \ \  \text{since work done by surrounding is zero (0)}

E_f = E_i + 0 \\ \\  K_f + U_f = K_i + U_i  \\ \\ = \dfrac{1}{2}mV_f^2 +  \dfrac{-GMm}{d^2} =  \dfrac{1}{2}mV_i^2+ \dfrac{-GMm}{d_i} \\ \\ V_f = \sqrt{V_i^2 + 2 GM \Big [  \dfrac{1}{d_2}- \dfrac{1}{d_i}\Big ]}

V_f = \sqrt{(9.1 \times 10^{4})^2 + 2 (6.67\times 10^{-11}) *(1.98 * 10^{30} ) \Big [  \dfrac{1}{6*10^{12}}- \dfrac{1}{4.8*10^{10}}\Big ]}

\mathbf{V_f =53.125 \times 10^4 \ m/s}
