Two rather unequal cars are competing in a drag race. For simplicity, let's assume that the accelerations of the cars are consta

nt. Car 1 has an acceleration of 3.3 m/s2, while Car 2 has an acceleration of 5.9 m/s2. Car 2 gets off to a late start, 0.5 seconds after Car 1.
1. At what time after Car 1 took off will it be overtaken by Car 2?
2. How far down the track will this happen?
3. How much faster will Car 2 be than Car 1 by that time?

6 0

Answer:

car1: a=3.1m/s^2 , car2: a=6.1m/s^2

(a) 1/2*3.1*t^2= 1/2*6.1*(t-0.9)^2

1.55t^2= 3.05(t^2-1.8t+0.81)= 3.05t^2-5.49t+2.4705

1.5t^2-5.49t+2.4705= 0

t= 3.13457 = 3.14[s] after.

(b) d= 1/2*3.1*3.13457^2= 15.23[m] approx.

(c) car1: v=at = 3.1*3.13457= 9.717m/s

car2: v=at = 6.1*(3.13457-0.9)= 13.631m/s

13.631-9.717= 3.914 = 3.91[m/s] faster than car1.

How do variations in electronegativity result in the unequal sharing of electrons in polar molecules?
9966 [12]

Answer:

Variations in electronegativity result in the unequal sharing of electrons in polar molecules because when one atom is more electronegative than the other, it becomes more polar than the other atom. ... Methane bonds are covalent because they share carbon and hydrogen valence electrons.xplanation:

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

ventriculoperitoneal      

Explanation:

A VP or ventriculoperitoneal shunt is a medical equipment or a device which is used to relieve pressure from the brain that is caused by the accumulation of fluid in the brain. Ventriculoperitoneal shunting is a medical procedure that is primarily used to treat a condition  known as hydrocephalus. This condition occurs when the more cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) gets collected in the  ventricles of the brain than required.

Hence the answer is ---

ventriculoperitoneal
