Answer:

The pickup truck and hatchback will meet again at 440.896 m

Explanation:

Let us assume that both vehicles are at origin at the start means initial position is zero i.e. s_{o} = 0. Both the vehicles will cross each other at same time so we will make equations for both and will solve for time.

Truck:

v_{i} = 33.2 m/s, a = 0 (since the velocity is constant), s_{o} = 0

Using s =s_{o}+v_{i}t+1/2at^{2}

s = 33.2t .......... eq (1)

Hatchback:

a=5m/s^{2}, v_{i} = 0 m/s (since initial velocity is zero), s_{o} = 0

Using s =s_{o}+v_{i}t+1/2at^{2}

putting in the data we will get

s=(1/2)(5)t^{2}

now putting 's' value from eq (1)

2.5t^{2}-33.2t=0

which will give,

t = 13.28 s

so both vehicles will meet up gain after 13.28 sec.

putting t = 13.28 in eq (1) will give

s = 440.896 m

So, both vehicles will meet up again at 440.896 m.

Answer:

  • 440.9 m

Explanation:

initial speed of the pickup truck (Up) = 33.2 m/s

acceleration of the pickup truck (ap) = 0

initial speed of the hatchback = 0

acceleration of the hatchback (ah) = 5 m/s^{2}

how far away (s) do the cars meet up again?

from the equations of motion distance covered (s) = ut + 0.5at^{2}

distance covered by the pickup = ut + 0.5at^{2}

where

  • u = initial speed of the pickup = 33.2 m/s
  • t = time it takes
  • a= acceleration of the pickup = 0
  • the distance covered by the pickup (s) now becomes = 33.2t +0.5.(0).t^{2} = 33.2t ...equation 1

       

distance covered by the hatchback = ut + 0.5at^{2}

where

  • u = initial speed of the hatchback = 0 m/s
  • t = time it takes
  • a= acceleration of the hatchback = 5 m/s^{2}
  • the distance covered by the hatchback (s) now becomes = (0)t + 0.5x5t^{2}

        =  2.5t^{2}......equation 2

when the cars meet, they both would have covered the same distance, therefore

  • distance covered by the pickup = distance covered by the hatchback
  • equation 1 = equation 2
  • 33.2t = 2.5t^{2}
  • 33.2 = 2.5t
  • t = 13.28 s

now that we have the time it takes for both cars to meet, we can put the value of the time into equation 1 or equation 2 to get the distance at which they meet

from equation 1

  • distance (s) = 33.2t = 33.2 x 13.28= 440.9 m

from equation 2

  • distance (s) =  2.5t^{2} = 2.5x12.8^{2} = 440.9 m

A 1500-kg car locks its brakes and skids to a stop on a slippery horizontal road, leaving skid marks that are 15 m long. How muc
Harman [31]

Answer:

E=88200\ J

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of car, m=1500\ kg
  • distance of skidding after the application of brakes, d=15\ m
  • coefficient of kinetic friction, \mu_k=0.4

<u>So, the energy dissipated during the skidding of car:</u>

<em>Frictional force:</em>

f=\mu_k.N

where N = normal reaction by ground on the car

f=0.4\ties 1500\times 9.8

f=5880\ N

<em>Now from the work-energy equivalence:</em>

E=f.d

E=5880\times 15

E=88200\ J is the dissipated energy.

What is one advantage of using electromagnets instead of permanent magnets
zimovet [89]
The main advantage of an electromagnet over a permanent magnet is that the magnetic field can be quickly changed by controlling the amount of electric current in the winding. However, unlike a permanent magnet that needs no power, an electromagnet requires a continuous supply of current to maintain the magnetic field.

The heart has 4 valves. They are what makes the lub-dub lub-dub sounds that can be heard from the chest.  

The mitral valve is located between the left atrium and the left ventricle. It closes the left atrium to collect oxygenated blood from the lungs and opens to pass it on to the left ventricle.

The tricuspid valve is located between the right atrium and the right ventricle. It closes the right atrium to hold unoxygenated blood and opens to pass it on to the right ventricle ensuring a one way flow.

The aortic valve is located between the aorta and the left ventricle. It closes the left ventricle and opens to the aorta to pass on the oxygen-rich blood to the body.

The pulmonary valve is located between the pulmonary artery and the right ventricle. It closes off the right ventricle and opens to pass on unoxygenated blood to the lungs.

The transverse standing wave on a string fixed at both ends is vibrating at its fundamental frequency of 250 Hz. What would be t
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Explanation:

fundamental frequency, f = 250 Hz

Let T be the tension in the string and length of the string is l ans m be the mass of the string initially.

the formula for the frequency is given by

f=\frac{1}{2l}\sqrt{\frac{Tl}{m}}    .... (1)

Now the length is doubled ans the tension is four times but the mass remains same.

let the frequency is f'

f'=\frac{1}{2\times 2l}\sqrt{\frac{4T\times 2l}{m}}    .... (2)

Divide equation (2) by equation (1)

f' = √2 x f

f' = 1.414 x 250

f' = 353.5 Hz
