Friction- the external force that acts on objects and causes them to slow down when no other external force acts upon them.
Answer:
An electric current is a stream of charged particles, such as electrons or ions, moving through an electrical conductor or space. It is measured as the net rate of flow of electric charge through a surface or into a control volume. ... In electric circuits the charge carriers are often electrons moving through a wire.
Answer:
a. 2v₀/a b. 2v₀/a
Explanation:
a. Since you are moving with a constant velocity v₀, the distance, s you cover in time = t max is s = v₀t.
Since the dragster starts from rest with an acceleration, a, using
s' = ut + 1/2at² where u = 0 and s' = distance moved by dragster
s' = 0t + 1/2at²
s' = 1/2at²
Since the distance moved by me and the dragster must be the same,
s = s'
v₀t. = 1/2at²
v₀t. - 1/2at² = 0
t(v₀ - 1/2at) = 0
t= 0 or v₀ - 1/2at = 0
t= 0 or v₀ = 1/2at
t= 0 or t = 2v₀/a
So the maximum time tmax = 2v₀/a
b. Since the distance covered by me to meet the dragster is s = v₀t in time, t = tmax which is also my distance from the dragster when it started. So, my distance from the dragster when it started is s = v₀(2v₀/a)
= 2v₀/a
