Two cars start a race with initial velocity 7ms-1 and 4ms-1 respectively.Their acceleration are 0.4ms-2 and 0.5ms-2 respectively

.If the two cars finish the race at the same time,what is the distance of the track?

The distance of the track is 600 m

Explanation:

The two cars move by uniformly accelerated motion, so we the distance they cover after a time t is described by the following suvat equation

d=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

For car 1, we have

d_1 = u_1 t + \frac{1}{2}a_1 t^2

where

u_1 = 7 m/s is the initial velocity of car 1

a_1 = 0.4 m/s^2 is the acceleration of car 1

So the equation can be rewritten as

d_1 = 7t + 0.2t^2

For car 2, we have

d_2 = u_2 t + \frac{1}{2}a_2 t^2

where

u_2 = 4 m/s is the initial velocity of car 2

a_2 = 0.5 m/s^2 is the acceleration of car 2

So the equation can be rewritten as

d_2= 5t + 0.25t^2

The two cars finish the race at the same time: this means that they cover the same distance in the same time t, so we can write

d_1 = d_2\\7t + 0.2t^2=5t + 0.25t^2

And solving for t, we find

2t - 0.05t^2= 0\\t(2-0.05t)=0

Which gives two solutions:

t = 0 (initial instant)

t = 40 s

Therefore, the distance of the track is

d_1 = 7t +0.2t^2 = 7\cdot 40+0.2\cdot 40^2=600 m

If the magnitude of the electric field in air exceeds roughly 3 ✕ 106 N/C, the air breaks down and a spark forms. For a two-disk
Westkost [7]

Answer:

1.843 x 10^-5 C  

Explanation:

<u><em>Givens:   </em></u>

It is given that the air starts ionizing when the electric field in the air exceeds a magnitude of 3 x 10^6 N/C, which means that the max electric field can stand without forming a spark is 3 x 10^6 N/C.  

Also it is given that the radius of the disk is 50 cm, it is required to find out the max amount of charge that the disk can hold without forming spark, which means the charge that would produce the max magnitude of the electric field that air can stand without forming spark, and since we know that the electric field in between 2 disk "Capacitor" is given by the following equation  

E = (Q/A)/∈o                                (1)

Where,

Q: total charge on the disk.

A: the area of the disk.  

<u><em>Calculations:  </em></u>

We want to find the quantity of charge on the disk that would produce an electric field of 3 x 10^6 N/C, knowing the radius of the disk we can find the cross-section of the disk, thus substituting in equation (1) we find the maximum quantity of charge the disk can hold  

Q = EA∈o

   = (3 x 10^6) x (π*0.50) x (8.85 x 10^-12)  

  = 1.843 x 10^-5 C  

note:

calculations maybe wrong but method is correct

patriot [66]

Wave speed = (wavelength) x (frequency)

Wavelength = (wave speed) / (frequency)

Wavelength = (9 m/s) / (0.5 Hz)

Where is the most and the least KENETIC ENERGY
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Where is kinetic energy the least?, and most?

Explanation:

Least : When the Moon is farthest from Earth in its nearly elliptical orbit, its speed is least. Its kinetic energy has become least, and its potential energy is greatest.

Further : Kinetic energy, form of energy that an object or a particle has by reason of its motion. If work, which transfers energy, is done on an object by applying a net force, the object speeds up and thereby gains kinetic energy.

May be different for you, but i really hope I helped out.
