A car accelerates in the +x direction from rest with a constant acceleration of a1 = 1.76 m/s2 for t1 = 20 s. At that point the

driver notices a tree limb that has fallen on the road and brakes hard for t2 = 5 s with a constant acceleration of a2 = -5.93 m/s2.Write an expression for the car's speed just before the driver begins braking, v1.If the limb is on the road at a distance of 550 meters from where the car began its initial acceleration, will the car hit the limb?

Answer:

<em>1) an expression for the car's speed is given as </em>

<em>v = u + at</em>

<em>where </em>

<em>v is the car's speed</em>

<em>u is the initial speed of the car </em>

<em>a is the car's acceleration</em>

<em>t is the time spent accelerating</em>

<em>2) The car does not hit the tree limb</em>

Explanation:

The initial velocity of the car = 0 m/s  (since it accelerates from rest)

acceleration of the car = 1.76 m/s

time spent accelerating = 20 s

For the car's speed just before the driver begins braking, we use the expression

<em>v = u + at</em>

where v is the final speed of the car just before the driver begins braking

u is the initial velocity with which the car starts moving

a is the acceleration of the car

t is the time spent accelerating from u to v

substituting values, we have

v = 0 + 1.76(20)

v = 0 + 35.2

the car's speed v =<em> 35.2 m/s</em>

In this time the car accelerates, the car moves a distance given by

s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2

where s is the distance covered in this time

u is the initial speed of the vehicle

a is the acceleration

t is the time taken

substituting, we have

s = 0(20) + \frac{1}{2}(1.76)20^{2}

s = 0 + 352

distance s = <em>352 m</em>

When the driver brakes, we have

time spent braking = 5 s

acceleration = -5.93 m/s

and the distance to the limb = 550 m from where the car begun

to get the distance covered in this period, we use the expression

s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2

where s is the distance traveled at this time

u is the speed of the car before it starts braking = 35.2 m/s

a is the acceleration at this point

t is the time taken to decelerate to a stop

substituting values, we have

s = 35.2(5) + \frac{1}{2}(-5.93 x 5^2)

s = 176 - 74.125

s = <em>101.88 m</em>

Total distance moved by the car = 352 m + 101.88 m = <em>453.88 m</em>

Since the total distance traveled by the car is less than the distance from the starting point to the place where the tree limb is, the car does not hit the tree limb.

A woman exerts a constant horizontal force on a large box. As a result, the box moves across a horizontal floor at a constant sp
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:C

Explanation:

When a constant horizontal force is applied to the box, box started moving in the horizontal direction such that it moves with constant velocity v_0

Constant velocity implies that net force on the box is zero

i.e. there must be an opposing force which is equal to the applied force and friction force can serve that purpose.

So option c is the correct choice.

An electric dipole is formed from ±1.00nC charges spaced 3.00 mm apart. The dipole is at the origin, oriented along the x-axis.
Ronch [10]

Answer:

Value of electric field along the axis and equitorial axis  E=31.25\ N/c and E = 15.625\ N/c respectively.

Explanation:

Given :

Distance between charges , d = 3 \ mm =\dfrac{3}{1000}\ m=3\times 10^{-3}\ m.

Magnitude of charges , q=1\ nC = 10^{-9}\ C.

Dipole moment , p=qL=10^{-9}\times 3\times 10^{-3}=3\times 10^{-12} \ C\ m.

Case A) (x,y) = (12.0 cm, 0 cm) :

Electric field of dipole in its axis ,

E=\dfrac{2kp}{r^3}

Putting all values and r=12\times 10^{-2}\ m.

We get , E=31.25\ N/c.

Case B) (x,y) = (0 cm, 12.0 cm) :

Electric field of dipole on equitorial axis ,

E = \dfrac{kp}{r^3}

Putting all values and r=12\times 10^{-2}\ m.

We get , E = 15.625\ N/c.

Hence , this is the required solution.

Think about it: suppose a meteorite collided head-on with mars and becomes buried under mars's surface. what would be the elasti
Ket [755]

Answer:

Perfectly inelastic collision

Explanation:

There are two types of collision.

1. Elastic collision : When the momentum of the system and the kinetic energy of the system is conserved, the collision is said to be elastic. For example, the collision of two atoms or molecules are considered to be elastic collision.

2. Inelastic collision: When the momentum  the system is conserved but the kinetic energy is not conserved, the collision is said to be inelastic. For example, collision of a ball with the mud.

For a perfectly elastic collision, the two bodies stick together after collision.

Here, the meteorite collide with the Mars and buried inside it, the collision is said to be perfectly inelastic. here the kinetic energy of a body lost completely during the collision.
