ou are sitting in your car at rest at a traffic light with a bicyclist at rest next to you in the adjoining bicycle lane. As soo

n as the traffic light turns green, your car speeds up from rest to 49.0 mi/h with constant acceleration 7.00 mi/h/s and thereafter moves with a constant speed of 49.0 mi/h. At the same time, the cyclist speeds up from rest to 23.0 mi/h with constant acceleration 15.00 mi/h/s and thereafter moves with a constant speed of 23.0 mi/h.[HINT: this is a great problem to use some graphs to help you visualize what is going on. There are more than 2 important clock readings in this problem.] (a) For what time interval (in s) after the light turned green is the bicycle ahead of your car?

Till the time car is just adjacent to the bicycle we can say

distance moved by cycle = distance moved by car

Time taken by car to accelerate from rest

t = \frac{v_f - v_i}{a}

t = \frac{49 - 0}{7} = 7 s

Time taken by cycle to accelerate

t = \frac{23 - 0}{15} = 1.53 s

now the distance moved by cycle in time "t"

d = \frac{23 + 0}{2}*1.53 + 23(t - 1.53)

distance moved by car in same time

d = \frac{7t + 0}{2}(t)

now make them equal

3.5t^2 = 17.595 - 35.19 + 23t

3.5 t^2 - 23t + 17.595 = 0

t = 5.68 s

so cycle will move ahead of car for t = 5.68 s

Answer:

3.29s

Explanation:

See the sketch of  speed-time graph.

Since cyclists reach a constant speed of 23mi/h before car does to constant speed of 49 mi/h, we will calculate the time taken by car to reach 23mi/h to know the time interval for which after the light turned green the bicycle is ahead of your car

a=(vf-vi)/t

Let convert acceleration from 7mi/h/s to 7mi/h²

7mi/(1/3600)

25200mi/h²

25200=(23-0)/t

t= 0.000913h or 3.28s

What happens to ar object in free fall?​
Inessa05 [86]
Energy from the gravitational potential store in converted to kinetic energy. Air friction acts against the object, dissipating some energy as heat or sound. The object will continuously accelerate until the acceleration is equal to the air friction acting against it. This is when it reaches terminal velocity

This isn’t homework related but what methods do you guys recommend for shifting realities ? .I’ve tried the raven method for wee
elena55 [62]

Answer:

subs

Explanation:

I've seen subliminals online that are supposed to help shifting. You could see for yourself if they work for you. You could probably also use the method where you act like you already have your desires and results. I have seen a lot of people act as if they have their desires and affirm it constantly. Ex: you want to lose weight, so you act as if you already are your desired weight and tell yourself that you are such and such weight, and don't contradict it by saying that you aren't. I hope that this helps.
