A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at a constant speed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcyc

le are both traveling at the same speed of 23.0 m/s, and the distance between them is 58.0 m. After t1 = 5.00 s, the motorcycle starts to accelerate at a rate of 8.00 m/s^2.
(a) The motorcycle catches up with the car at some time t2. How long does it take from the moment when the motorcycle starts to accelerate until it catches up with the car? In other words, find t2−t1.
(b) How far does the motorcycle travel from the moment it starts to accelerate (at time t1) until it catches up with the car (at time t2)? Should you need to use an answer from a previous part, make sure you use the unrounded value.

Answer:

(a) 3.807 s

(b) 145.581 m

Explanation:

Let Δt = t2 - t1 be the time it takes from the moment when the motorcycle starts to accelerate until it catches up with the car. We know that before the acceleration, both vehicles are travelling at a constant speed. So they would maintain a distance of 58 m prior to the acceleration.

The distance traveled by car after Δt (seconds) at v_c = 23m/s speed is

s_c = \Delta t v_c = 23\Delta t

The distance traveled by the motorcycle after Δt (seconds) at m_m = 23 m/s speed and acceleration of a = 8 m/s2 is

s_m = \Delta t v_m + a\Delta t^2/2

s_m = 23\Delta t + 8\Delta t^2/2 = 23 \Delta t + 4 \Delta t^2

We know that the motorcycle catches up to the car after Δt, so it must have covered the distance that the car travels, plus their initial distance:

s_m = s_c + 58

23 \Delta t + 4 \Delta t^2 = 23\Delta t + 58

4 \Delta t^2 = 58

\Delta t^2 = 14.5

\Delta t = \sqrt{14.5} = 3.807s

(b)

s_m = 23 \Delta t + 4 \Delta t^2

s_m = 23*3.807 + 58 = 145.581 m

brilliants [131]

Answer:

x = 2.044 m

Explanation:

given data

initial vertical component of velocity = Vy = 2sin18

initial horizontal component of velocity = Vx = 2cos18

distance from the ground yo = 5m

ground distance y = 0

from equation of motion

y = yo+ V_y t +\frac{1}{2}gt^2

0 = 5 + 2sin18+ \frac{1}{2}*9.8t^2

solving for t

t = 1.075 sec

for horizontal motion

x = V_x t

x = 2cos18*1.075

x = 2.044 m

Answer:

Frequency of the light will be equal to 6.97\times 10^{1}Hz

Explanation:

We have given wavelength of the light \lambda =430nm=430\times 10^{-9}m

Velocity of light is equal to v=3\times 10^8m/sec

We have to find the frequency of light

We know that velocity is equal to v=\lambda f, here \lambda is wavelength and f is frequency of light

So frequency of light will be equal to f=\frac{v}{\lambda }=\frac{3\times 10^8}{430\times 10^{-9}}=6.97\times 10^{1}Hz

So frequency of the light will be equal to 6.97\times 10^{1}Hz

The moon’s period of revolution is 27 1/3 days, and its period of rotation about its axis is _____.
mestny [16]
It lasts 29 1/2 days.
-the sidereal month- is the true period of the moon's revolution around Earth. It lasts 27 1/3 days.
-the difference of 2 days between the synodic and sidereal cycles is due to the Earth- moon system also moving in an orbit around the sun.
