A motorist is driving at 20m/s when she sees that a traffic light 200m ahead has just turned red. She knows that this light stay

s red for 15s, and she wants to reach the light just as it turns green again. It takes her 1.0s to step on the brakes and begin slowing. What is her speed as she reaches the light at the instant it turns green?

Answer:

5.71428571422 m/s

Explanation:

u = Initial velocity = 20 m/s

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

Time taken = 15-1 = 14 s

Distance traveled in 1 second = 20\times 1=20\ m

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 200-20=20\times 14+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 14^2\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{2(180-20\times14)}{14^2}\\\Rightarrow a=-1.02040816327\ m/s^2

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=20-1.02040816327\times 14\\\Rightarrow v=5.71428571422\ m/s

The speed as she reaches the light at the instant it turns green is 5.71428571422 m/s

Interactive Solution 28.5 illustrates one way to model this problem. A 7.11-kg object oscillates back and forth at the end of a
____ [38]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the object, m = 7.11 kg

Spring constant of the spring, k = 61.6 N/m

Speed of the observer, v=2.79\times 10^8\ m/s

We need to find the time period of oscillation observed by the observed. The time period of oscillation is given by :

t_o=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}} \\\\t_o=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{7.11}{61.6}} \\\\t_o=2.13\ s

Time period of oscillation measured by the observer is :

t=\dfrac{t_o}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}} }\\\\t=\dfrac{2.13}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{(2.79\times 10^8)^2}{(3\times 10^8)^2}} }\\\\t=5.79\ s

So, the time period of oscillation measured by the observer is 5.79 seconds.

A research vessel is mapping the bottom of the ocean using sonar. It emits a short sound pulse called "ping" downward. The frequ
Elena L [17]

Answer:

The ocean is 6485.6m deep when measured from the vessel

Explanation:

v=1474m/s

t=8.88s

let d represent distance from the vessel to the ocean bottom.

an echo travels a distance equivalent to 2d, that is to and fro after it reflects from the obstacle.

velocity=\frac{distance}{time}\\ v=\frac{2d}{t} \\vt=2d\\d=\frac{vt}{2}

d=\frac{1474*8.8}{2}

d= 6485.6m

A tank of volume 0.25 ft is designed to contain 50 standard cubic feet of air. The temperature is 80° F.Calculate the pressure i
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

The inside Pressure of the tank is 4499.12 lb/ft^{2}

Solution:

As per the question:

Volume of tank, V = 0.25 ft^{3}

The capacity of tank, V' = 50ft^{3}

Temperature, T' = 80^{\circ}F = 299.8 K

Temperature, T = 59^{\circ}F = 288.2 K

Now, from the eqn:

PV = nRT                      (1)

Volume of the gas in the container is constant.

V = V'

Similarly,

P'V' = n'RT'                       (2)

Also,

The amount of gas is double of the first case in the cylinder then:

n' = 2n

\]frac{n'}{n} = 2

where

n and n' are the no. of moles

Now, from eqn (1) and (2):

\frac{PV}{P'V'} = \frac{nRT}{n'RT'}

P' = 2P\frac{T'}{T} = 2\times 2116\times \frac{299.8}{288.2} = 4499.12 lb/ft^{2}
