Answer:

19.5 m

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion,

For the first 3 seconds,

s = ut +1/2at².......................... Equation 1

Where t = time, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, s = distance

Note: Since the car starts from rest, u = 0 m/s.

Given: a = 1.0 m/s, t = 3 s, u = 0 m/s

Substitute into equation 1

s = 0×3+1/2(3)²(1)

s = 9/2

s = 4.5

In the remaining five seconds, at a constant velocity,

s' = vt............. Equation 2

Where v = velocity, t = time.

Recall,

v = u+at

v = 0+1(3)

v = 3 m/s.

Also, t = 5 s.

Substitute into equation 2

s' = 3(5)

s' = 15 m.

Total distance = 15+4.5

Total distance = 19.5 m.

Hence the car travels 19.5 m

A cyclist rides at 6.20 m/s through a intersection. A stationary car begins to
Xelga [282]

Answer:

The width of the intersection is 20 meters

Explanation:

The speed with which the cyclist is riding, v₁ = 6.20 m/s

The rate at which the car starts to accelerate, a = 3.844 m/s²

The initial velocity of the car = The car is stationary at the start = 0 m/s

The time at which the cyclist and the car reach the other side of the intersection = The same time;

Let 't' represent the time at which the cyclist and the car both reach the other side of the intersection, we have;

The distance travelled by the cyclist = The distance traveled by the car

∴ v₁ × t = 1/2 × a × t²

Plugging in the values for 'v₁', and 'a' in the above equation, we get;

6.20 × t = 1/2 × 3.844 × t²

∴ 1.922·t² - 6.20·t = 0

∴ t·(1.922·t - 6.20) = 0

t = 0, or t = 6.20/1.922 = 100/31

The time at which the cyclist and the car both reach the other side of the intersection, t = 100/31 seconds

The with of the intersection, w = v₁ × t

∴ w = 6.20 × 100/31 = 100/5 = 20

The width of the intersection, w = 20 meters.

What are organelles? Describe the role of two organelles within the cell.
zloy xaker [14]
Organelles are small structures found in cells that carry out certain tasks. Two examples of organelles are the Nucleus and the Mitochondria. Think of the nucleus as the brain of its cell, it controls activities and it contains a majority of the cells genetic material. The mitochondria is the part of the cells tasked with cellular respiration, which is the act of taking nutrients from a cell and turning it into energy.
