To demonstrate the tremendous acceleration of a top fuel dragracer, you attempt to run your car into the back of a dragster that

is "burning out" at the red light before the start of a race.(Burning out means spinning the tires at high speed to heat thetread and make the rubber sticky.)
You drive at a constant speed of v0 toward the stopped dragster, not slowingdown in the face of the imminent collision. The dragster driversees you coming but waits until the last instant to put down thehammer, accelerating from the starting line at constant
acceleration,a. Let the time at which thedragster starts to accelerate be t=0.
A) What is tmax, the longest time after thedragster begins to accelerate that you can possibly run into theback of the dragster if you continue at your initial velocity?
B) Assuming that the dragster has started at the last instantpossible (so your front bumper almost hits the rear of thedragster at t = tmax), find your distance from thedragster when he started. If you calculate positions on the way tothis solution,
choose coordinates so that the positionof the drag car is 0 at t = 0. Remember that you are solvingfor a distance (which is a magnitude, and can never be negative),not a position (which can be negative).

Answer:

a. 2v₀/a   b. 2v₀/a  

Explanation:

a. Since you are moving with a constant velocity v₀, the distance, s you cover in time = t max is s = v₀t.

Since the dragster starts from rest with an acceleration, a, using

s' = ut + 1/2at² where u = 0 and s' = distance moved by dragster

s' = 0t + 1/2at²

s' = 1/2at²

Since the distance moved by me and the dragster must be the same,

s = s'

v₀t. =  1/2at²

v₀t. - 1/2at² = 0

t(v₀ - 1/2at) = 0

t= 0 or v₀ - 1/2at = 0

t= 0 or v₀ = 1/2at

t= 0 or t = 2v₀/a  

So the maximum time tmax = 2v₀/a

b. Since the distance covered by me to meet the dragster is s = v₀t in time, t = tmax which is also my distance from the dragster when it started. So, my distance from the dragster when it started is s =  v₀(2v₀/a)

= 2v₀/a

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST AND 30 POINTS!
mariarad [96]

Answer:

Gallium

Explanation:

Gallium is one such element used as a do/pant in a p-type semiconductor.

A do/pant is an impurity added to a semi-conductor used to alter its properties. Semi-conductors have a wide range of applications. They will conduct heat and electricity only under certain conditions. This property is highly desirable and find a wide application in electronics.

For p-type conductors, they are best do/ped with elements with 3 valence electrons. These are group 3 elements. From the choices, only gallium belongs to this group.

Other elements given are good do/pants for n-type semiconductors. They have 5 valence electrons.

I will mark you brainlist. How can you use a tuning fork to tune a piano?
Phoenix [80]

A tuning fork's job is to establish a single note that everybody can tune to.

Most tuning forks are made to vibrate at 440 Hz, a tone known to musicians as "concert A." To tune a piano, you would start by playing the piano's "A" key while ringing an "A" tuning fork. If the piano is out of tune, you'll hear a distinct warble between the note you're playing and the note played by the tuning fork; the further apart the warbles, the more out-of-tune the piano. By either tightening or loosening the piano's strings, you reduce the warble until it's in line with the tuning fork. Once the "A" key is in tune, you would then adjust all of the instrument's 87 other keys to match. The method is much the same for most other instruments. Whether you're tuning a clarinet or guitar, simply play a concert A and adjust your instrument accordingly

Explanation:

It can be a bit tricky to hold a tuning fork while manipulating an instrument, which is why some musicians decide to clench the base of a ringing tuning fork in their teeth. This has the unique effect of transmitting sound through your bones, allowing your brain to "hear" the tone through your jaw. According to some urban legends, touching your teeth with a vibrating tuning fork is enough to make them explode. It's a myth, obviously, but if you have a cavity or a chipped tooth, you'll quickly find this method to be unbelievably painful.

Luckily, you can also buy tuning forks that come mounted on top of a resonator, a hollow wooden box designed to amplify a tuning fork's vibrations. In 1860, a pair of German inventors even devised a battery-powered tuning fork that musicians didn't need to ring again and again

A balloon having an initial temperature of 17.8°C is heated so that the volume doubles while the pressure is kept fixed. What i
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

T = 308.6 ^0 C

Explanation:

Here by ideal gas equation we can say

PV = nRT

now we know that pressure is kept constant here

so we will have

V = \frac{nR}{P} T

since we know that number of moles and pressure is constant here

so we have

\frac{V_2}{V_1} = \frac{T_2}{T_1}

now we know that initial temperature is 17.8 degree C

and finally volume is doubled

So we have

\frac{2V}{V} = \frac{T_2}{(273 + 17.8)}

so final temperature will be

T_2 = 581.6 k

T_2 = 308.6 ^o C
