A sports car starts from rest at an intersection and accelerates toward the east on a straight road at 8.0 m/s2. Just as the spo

rts car starts to move, a bus traveling east at a constant 18 m/s on the same straight road passes the sports car. When the sports car catches up with and passes the bus, (a) how much time has elapsed and (b) how far has the sports car traveled?

Answer:

a)  t = 4.5 s , b)    x = 81 m

Explanation:

a) For this problem we will use kinematic relationships

For the car

        x = v₀ t + ½ a₁ t²

Since the car kicks from rest, the initial speed is zero

         x = ½ a₁ t²

For the bus

        v₂ = x / t

       x = v₂ t

At the point where they are located it has the same position, so we can match the equation

       ½ a₁1 t² = v₂ t

       ½ a₁ t = v₂

        t = 2 v₂ / a₁

Let's calculate

       t = 2 18 /8.0

       t = 4.5 s

b) to find the position

        x = v₂ t

        x = 18   4.5

        x = 81 m

Answer:

72.54 degree west of south

Explanation:

flow = 3.9 m/s north

speed = 11 m/s

to find out

point due west from the current position

solution

we know here water is flowing north and ship must go south at an equal rate so that the velocities cancel and the ship just goes west

so it become like triangle with 3.3 point down and the hypotenuse is 11

so by triangle

hypotenuse ×cos(angle) = adjacent side

11 ×cos(angle) = 3.3

cos(angle) = 0.3

angle = 72.54 degree west of south

What direction does a S wave move
noname [10]

Answer:

As they travel through rock, the waves move tiny rock particles back and forth -- pushing them apart and then back together -- in line with the direction the wave is traveling. These waves typically arrive at the surface as an abrupt thud. Secondary waves (also called shear waves, or S waves) are another type of body wave

This sunlight can flood your retinas, overstimulating the rods and cones that sense light and causing them to release chemicals that can damage the retinas. This condition is known as solar retinopathy, and it can cause permanent eye damage.
