Answer:

<em>(a) The average velocity is 16 m/s</em>

<em>(b) The acceleration is 0.4 m/s^2</em>

<em>(c) The final velocity is 24 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Constant Acceleration Motion</u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity (or the speed) of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

Being a the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time, final speed is calculated as follows:

v_f=v_o+at\qquad\qquad [1]

The distance traveled by the object is given by:

\displaystyle x=v_o.t+\frac{a.t^2}{2}\qquad\qquad [2]

(a) The average velocity is defined as the total distance traveled divided by the time taken to travel that distance.

We know the distance is x=640 m and the time taken t= 40 s, thus:

\displaystyle \bar v=\frac{x}{t}=\frac{640}{40}=16

The average velocity is 16 m/s

Using the equation [1] we can solve for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

(c) From [2] we can solve for a:

\displaystyle a= 2\frac{x-v_ot}{t^2}

Since vo=8 m/s, x=640 m, t=40 s:

\displaystyle a= 2\frac{640-8\cdot 40}{40^2}=0.4

The acceleration is 0.4 m/s^2

(b) The final velocity is calculated by [1]:

v_f=8+0.4\cdot 40

v_f=8+16=24

The final velocity is 24 m/s

What happens to a light wave when it travels from air into glass?
tino4ka555 [31]
Light is refracted when it crosses the interface from air to glass in which it moves more slowly.
Since the light speed changes at the interface, the wave length of the light must change too. The wave length decreases as the light enter the medium and the light wave changes direction.

Two students are discussing how the speed of the car compares to the speed of the truck when both vehicles are in front of the h
solniwko [45]

Answer:

a) Student 1 is right in the way he calculates the speed cid d of the truck, since going at constant speed

b) Student 2 is right that for the car to reach the truck it must have some relationship,  

c)   t = √d/a

 

Explanation:

In this exercise you are asked to analyze the movement in a mention using kinematics.

a) Student 1 is right in the way he calculates the speed cid d of the truck, since going at constant speed he can use the equation

         v = d / t

b) Student 2 is right that for the car to reach the truck it must have some relationship, which is given by

        v = v₀ + a t

        x = v₀ t + ½ a t²

c)    let's use the equations

      v = d / t

       v = v₀ + at

      d / t = vo + at

If we can assume that the car starts from rest, so v₀ = 0

       d / t = a t

        t² = d / a

        t = √d / a

if the speed of the car is not zero the result is a little more complicated

      d = vo t + a t²

      at² + vo t - d = 0

let's solve the quadratic equation

      t = [-v₀ ± √ (v₀² + 4a d)] / 2a
