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?

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.

A flare is dropped from an airplane flying horizontally at uniform velocity (constant speed in a straight line). Neglecting air
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Option B (remain vertically under the plane) is the correct option.

Explanation:

  • A flare would follow a particle trajectory with horizontal direction somewhat like airplane velocity as well as initial maximum motion as null but instead, gravity will induce acceleration. It would be lowered vertically underneath the plane before flare had already sunk to something like the surface.
  • There is no different movement in the airplane nor even the flash. And none of them can change its horizontal level.  

Some other alternatives are given really aren't linked to the specified scenario. So choice B is the perfect solution to that.

Please help me with this Physics question!
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

D) 11 m/s

Explanation:

We have to calculate the velocity of the hot dog with respect to the observer still outside the train. This velocity will be given by:

v=v_t + v_m + v_h

where

v_t=+10 m/s is the velocity of the train (towards right)

v_m=+2 m/s is the velocity of the man (towards right)

v_h=-1 m/s is the velocity of the hot-dog (towards left, so we put a negative sign)

By replacing the numbers into the equation, we find

v=+10 m/s+2 m/s-1 m/s=+11 m/s

and the positive sign means the velocity is toward right.

Assume that in 2010 the United States will need 2.0×1012 watts of electric power produced by thousands of 1000 MW power plants.
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

1752.14 tonnes per year.

Explanation:

To solve this exercise it is necessary to apply the concepts related to power consumption and power production.

By conservation of energy we know that:

\dot{P} = \bar{P}

Where,

\dot{P} = Production of Power

\bar{P} = Consumption of power

Where the production of power would be,

\dot{P} = m \dot{E}\eta

Where,

m = Total mass required

\dot{E} = Energy per Kilogram

\eta =Efficiency

The problem gives us the aforementioned values under a production efficiency of 45%, that is,

\dot{P} = \bar{P}

m \dot{E}\eta = \bar{P}

Replacing the values we have,

m(8*10^13)(0.45) = 2*10^{12}

Solving for m,

m = \frac{ 2*10^{12}}{(8*10^13)(0.45)}

m = 0.0556 \frac{kg}{s}

We have the mass in kilograms and the time in seconds, we need to transform this to tons per year, then,

m = 0.556\frac{kg}{s}*(\frac{3.1536*10^7s}{1year})(\frac{1ton}{1000kg})

m = 1752.14tonnes per year.
