A ride-sharing car moving along a straight section of road starts from rest, accelerating at 2.00 m/s2 until it reaches a speed

of 31.0 m/s. Then the vehicle moves for 35.0 s at constant speed until the brakes are applied, stopping the vehicle in a uniform manner in an additional 5.00 s.(a) How long is the ride-sharing car in motion (in s)? (b) What is the average velocity of the ride-sharing car for the motion described?

Answer:

A) total time = 55.5 seconds

B) average velocity = 25.27 m/s

Explanation:

It starts from rest, so initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

We are given;

acceleration; a = 2 m/s²

Final velocity; v = 31 m/s

From Newton's first law of motion,

v = u + at

So, 31 = 0 + 2t

t = 31/2

t = 15.5 sec

We are told that, after this time of 15.5 sec, the car travels 35 sec at a constant speed and after that it takes 5 sec additional time to stop. Thus;

(a) Total time in which car is in motion = 15.5 + 35 +5 = 55.5 seconds

b)Total distance traveled during first 15.5 sec would be gotten from Newton's second equation of motion which is;

S = ut + ½at²

S1 = 0 + ½(2 * 15.5²)

S1 = 240.25 m

Distance traveled in 35 sec with with velocity of 31 m/sec is;

S2 = velocity x time

S2 = 35 × 31 = 1085 m

Now, for the final stage, final velocity (v) will now be 0 since the car comes to rest while initial velocity(u) will be 31 m/s.

From the first equation of motion,

a = (v - u)/t

a = (0 - 31)/5

a = -6.2 m/s²

So, distance travelled is;

S3 = ut + ½at²

S3 = (31 × 5) + ½(-6.2 × 5²)

S3 = 155 - 77.5

S3 = 77.5 m

So overall total distance = S1 + S2 + S3

Overall total distance = 240.25 + 1085 + 77.5 = 1402.75 m

Average velocity = total distance/total time

Average velocity = 1402.75/55.5 = 25.27 m/s

Aleksandr [31]
Pitch is directly related to the frequency of the sound. In this item, we are given that the frequency of the sound is higher compared to those which are audible to the human being's ears. The pitch therefore of the dog's whistle is high. 

On the other hand, the frequency and the wavelength of a certain wave are inversely proportional. This means that the high frequency wave will have a short wavelength. 

Hence, the answer to this item would have to be "high pitch with a short wavelength" 

The answer to this item is the second option.

Answer:

Explanation:

The inclined plane

An inclined plane consists of a sloping surface; it is used for raising heavy bodies. The plane offers a mechanical advantage in that the force required to move an object up the incline is less than the weight being raised (discounting friction). The steeper the slope, or incline, the more nearly the required force approaches the actual weight. Expressed mathematically, the force F required to move a block D up an inclined plane without friction is equal to its weight W times the sine of the angle the inclined plane makes with the horizontal (θ). The equation is F = W sin θ.

The lever

A lever is a bar or board that rests on a support called a fulcrum. A downward force exerted on one end of the lever can be transferred and increased in an upward direction at the other end, allowing a small force to lift a heavy weight.

The wedge

A wedge is an object that tapers to a thin edge. Pushing the wedge in one direction creates a force in a sideways direction. It is usually made of metal or wood and is used for splitting, lifting, or tightening, as in securing a hammer head onto its handle.

The wheel and axle

A wheel and axle is made up of a circular frame (the wheel) that revolves on a shaft or rod (the axle). In its earliest form it was probably used for raising weights or water buckets from wells.

Its principle of operation is best explained by way of a device with a large gear and a small gear attached to the same shaft. The tendency of a force, F, applied at the radius R on the large gear to turn the shaft is sufficient to overcome the larger force W at the radius r on the small gear. The force amplification, or mechanical advantage, is equal to the ratio of the two forces (W:F) and also equal to the ratio of the radii of the two gears (R:r)

Which pair of atoms forms ionic bonds?
natta225 [31]
Mental and non mental, an ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions. Ionic bonds are formed between a cation, which is usually a metal, and an anion, which is usually a nonmetal.
