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

Do electric lights in some electronic devices change electricity into motion
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

A generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy, while a motor does the opposite - it converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Both devices work because of electromagnetic induction, which is when a voltage is induced by a changing magnetic field....

If the diameter of a radar dish is doubled, what happens to its resolving power assuming that all other factors remain unchanged
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

      θ’ = θ₀ / 2

we see that the resolution angle is reduced by half

Explanation:

The resolving power of a radar is given by diffraction, for which we will use the Rayleigh criterion for the resolution of two point sources, they are considered resolved if the maximum of diffraction of one coincides with the first minimum of the other.

The first minimum occurs for m = 1, so the diffraction equation of a slit remains

        a sin θ = λ

in general, the diffraction patterns occur at very small angles, so

        sin θ = θ

          θ = λ / a

in the case of radar we have a circular aperture and the equation must be solved in polar coordinates, which introduces a numerical constant.

        θ = 1.22 λ /a

In this exercise we are told that the opening changes

         a’ = 2 a

we substitute

          θ ‘= 1.22  λ / 2a

          θ' = (1.22 λ / a) 1/2

          θ’ = θ₀ / 2

we see that the resolution angle is reduced by half

Which of the following is equal to Velocity change per second​
Mademuasel [1]

Acceleration

Explanation:

Acceleration is a physical quantity that expresses the change in the velocity of a body per unit of time.

  Acceleration = \frac{V - U }{T}

V is the initial velocity

U is the final velocity

T is the time

It is has a unit of m/s²

A person is walking down the street maintain the same speed and direction. The person is accelerating.
balandron [24]

Answer:

no change in speed, therefore the body cannot be accelerated.  a=0

Explanation:

When a person is accelerating his speed must change, if the speed is in the same direction as the acceleration the speed increases and if the acceleration is in the opposite direction to the speed it decreases.

In this case there is no change in speed, therefore the body cannot be accelerated.
