Answer:

$\frac{x_{o}}{v_B-V_A} =t$

Explanation:

Represent the car's position as a function

$x_o=$ "head start"

$x_{A}(t) = x_{o} + v_{A}t\\x_B(t)=v_Bt \\$

$Remember: v_B>v_A$

"cathching up means" that $x_A(t)=x_B(t)$

$x_{o} + v_{A}t =v_Bt\\x_{o} = v_Bt -v_{A}t\\x_{o} = t(v_B-V_A)\\\frac{x_{o}}{v_B-V_A} =t, where \ v_B>v_A$

What happens when exhale

polet [3.4K]

When you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts (tightens) and moves downward. This increases the space in your chest cavity, into which your lungs expand. The intercostal muscles between your ribs also help enlarge the chest cavity. They contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.

A SMART car can accelerate from rest to a speed of 28 m/s in 20s. What distance does it travel in this time?

sashaice [31]

Speed= distance/ time so distance = speed * time= 28 * 20= 560m .. so the answer is 560m.. l hope it helped :)

If you throw a baseball straight up,What is its velocity at the highest point?

sveta [45]

Answer: 52.

Explanation: Critical Thinking When a ball is thrown vertically up, it keeps going up until it hits a certain position, and then falls down. At the maximum point, the velocity is instantaneously zero.

I may or may not be a nerd lol.

A 75.0-kg man standing on a bathroom scale in an elevator. Calculate the scale in N, reading if the elevator moves upward at a c

Salsk061 [2.6K]

The scale in N, reading if the elevator moves upward at a constant speed of 1.5 m/s^2 is 862.5 N.

weight of man = 75kg

speed of elevator, a = 1.5 $m/ s^{2}$

$F - w = ma \\$

$F = w + ma$

$F = m ( a +g )$

$F = 75 ( 1.5 + 10 ) \\$

$F = 75 ( 11.5 )$

$F = 862.5 N$

So, the scale reading in the elevator is greater than his 862.5 N weight. This indicates that the person is being propelled upward by the scale, which it must do in order to do so, with a force larger than his weight. According to what you experience in quickly accelerating or slowly moving elevators, it is obvious that the faster the elevator acceleration, the greater the scale reading.

Speed can be defines as the pace at which the position of an object changes in any direction. Since speed simply has a direction and no magnitude, it is a scalar quantity.
