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

Heptane and water do not mix, and heptane has a lower density (0.684 g/mL) than water (1.00 g/mL). A graduated cylinder contains
lakkis [162]

Given that the density of heptane is

d_h=\frac{0.684g}{mL}

The mass of heptane is

m_h=31\text{ g}

The density of water is

d_w=\frac{1g}{mL}

The mass of water is

m_w=37\text{ g}

The volume of heptane will be

\begin{gathered} V_h=\frac{m_h}{d_h} \\ =\frac{31}{0.684} \\ =45.32\text{ mL} \end{gathered}

The volume of water will be

\begin{gathered} V_w=\frac{m_w}{d_w} \\ =\frac{37}{1} \\ =37\text{ mL} \end{gathered}

Thus, the volume of heptane is 45.32 mL and the volume of water is 37 mL.

The total volume of liquid in the cylinder will be

\begin{gathered} V=V_h+V_w \\ =45.32+37 \\ =82.32\text{ mL} \end{gathered}

The total volume of liquid in the cylinder will be 82.32 mL.

Similarities and differences between high pitch and low pitch
umka2103 [35]
You can hear a difference between these two sounds. That is because their pitch isdifferent. Pitch depends on the frequency of a sound wave. ... High sounds have highfrequencies and low sounds have lowfrequencies.

Suppose a horse leans against a wall as in the figure below.
Irina18 [472]

The force the horse and the rider exerts on the wall is equal to the weight combined acting in the opposite direction:

<h3>Force</h3>

Given Data

  • mass of horse and rider = 575kg
  • Force  acting on wall = ??

When a body of mass rests on a surface, it exerts a force equal to the weight of the mass but opposite in direct on the mass/object

hence the force is computed as

Force = mass * acceleration

Force = 575 * 9.81

Force = 5640.75N

a spaceship is traveling at a speed of 15000 km/s from planet b toward planet a the spaceship sends out a signal with a waveleng
Bumek [7]

Answer: 4nmeter

Explanation: The two observer a and b will measure the same wavelength since the speed of the space craft is very small compared with the speed of light c. That is

V which is the speed of space craft 15000km/s = 15000000m/s

Comparing this with the speed of light c 3*EXP(8)m/s we have

15000000/300000000

= 0.05=0.1

Therefore the speed of the space craft V in terms of the speed of light c is 0.1c special relativity does not apply to object moving at such speed. So the wavelength would not be contracted it will remain same for both observers.

Why are strong forces able to hold atomic nuclei together?
Galina-37 [17]
The nucleons(protons and neutrons) are held together by means of this strong force. If this strong never existed, all the nucleus will blow themselves due to strong repulsive force between protons(neutron has no charge).
Thats it!
If I explain beyond, it will surely bounce off your head. Anyways, if you wanna know more bout it, ping me. (:
