Answer:

a)there is collision

b)V=7.79m/s

Explanation:

A body that moves with constant acceleration means that it moves in "a uniformly accelerated movement", which means that if the velocity is plotted with respect to time we will find a line and its slope will be the value of the acceleration, it determines how much it changes the speed with respect to time.

When performing a mathematical demonstration, it is found that the equations that define this movement are as follows.

Vf=Vo+a.t                                     (1)

{Vf^{2}-Vo^2}/{2.a} =X                (2)

X=Xo+ VoT+0.5at^{2}                   (3)

X=(Vf+Vo)T/2                                 (4)

Where

Vf = final speed

Vo = Initial speed

T = time

A = acceleration

X = displacement

In conclusion to solve any problem related to a body that moves with constant acceleration we use the 3 above equations and use algebra to solve

To solve this problem, we use equation number 2 to calculate the distance traveled after the end of a movement with constant speed with a time of 0.2s, if it is less than 36.576m there is no collision.

Xt=X1+X2 (5)

X1= distance traveled with constant speed

X1=distance traveled with constant acceleration

for X1

X1=Vt

where

V=50mph=22.35m/s

t=0.2

X1=0.2x22.35m/s

X1=4.47m

for X2 using ecuation number 2

Vo=22.35m/s

Vf=0m/s

a=-6m/s^2

{Vf^{2}-Vo^2}/{2.a} =X    

{0^{2}-22.35^2}/{(2).(6)} =X    

x2=41.626m

Xt=x1+x2

Xt=41.626+4.47=49m

as the distance traveled is 49m the cars crash

b) to calculate the final speed we use the ecuation number tow(2)

X=36.576m

Vo=22.35m/s

a=-6m/s^2

{Vf^{2}-Vo^2}/{2.a} =X  

solving for vf

Vf=\sqrt[2]{2ax+Vo^{2} }

Vf=\sqrt[2]{2(-6)(36.576)+22.352^{2} }=7.79m/s

A block of mass m = 2.0 kg lies on a rough ramp that is inclined at an angle θ = 20oto the horizontal. A force F of magnitude 5.
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

a) 0.64 b) 2.17m/s^2 c) 8.668joules

Explanation:

The block was on the ramp, the ramp was inclined at 20degree. A force of 5N was acting horizontal to the but not parallel to the ramp,

Frictional force = horizontal component of the weight of the block along the ramp + the applied force since the block was just about move

Frictional force = mgsin20o + 5N = 6.71+5N = 11.71

The force of normal = the vertical component of the weight of the block =mgcos20o = 18.44

Coefficient of static friction = 11.71/18.44= 0.64

Remember that g = acceleration due to gravity (9.81m/s^2) and m = mass (2kg)

b) coefficient of kinetic friction = frictional force/ normal force

Fr = 0.4* mgcos 20o = 7.375N

F due to motion = ma = total force - frictional force

Ma = 11.71 - 7.375 = 4.335

a= 4.335/2(mass of the block) = 2.17m/s^2

C) work done = net force *distance = 4.335*2= 8.67Joules

two soccer players, mary and jane, begin running from nearly the same point at the same time. mary runs in an easterly direction
goblinko [34]

The time taken before the two soccer players are 24.7 m apart is 3 seconds.

Velocity of Jane relative to marry is 4.4 m/s in y-direction and 6.95 m/s in x direction.

The distance between Jane and Mary after 4.08 seconds is 33.58 m.

<h3>Resultant velocity of Mary and Jane</h3>

Vertical component of the velocity;

Jane: Vy1 = V sinθ

Vy1 = 5.07 m/s  x  sin(60.2)

Vy1 = 4.4 m/s

Horizontal components of the velocity;

Jane: Vx1 = V cos θ

Vx1 = 5.07 m/s  x  cos60.2

Vx1 = 2.52 m/s

mary: Vx2 = 4.43 m/s

total horizontal components of the velocity = 4.43 m/s + 2.52 m/s = 6.95 m/s

<h3>Resultant velocity</h3>

V = √Vy² + Vx²

V = √(4.4² + 6.95²)

V = 8.23 m/s

<h3>Time taken before they are 24.7 m apart</h3>

t = 24.7 m / 8.23 m/s

t = 3 seconds

Velocity of Jane relative to marry is 4.4 m/s in y-direction and 6.95 m/s in x direction.

<h3>Distance between Jane and Mary after 4.08 seconds</h3>

d = vt

d = 8.23 m/s  x 4.08 s

d = 33.58 m

A glass is half-full of water, with a layer of vegetable oil (n = 1.47) floating on top. A ray of light traveling downward throu
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

critical angle    = 64.79°

ray will not penetrate into the water

Explanation:

given details

refractive index of oil n1 = 1.47

refractive index of water n2= 1.33  

incident angle = 71.4 °

\theta_c = sin^{-1}(\frac{n2}{n1})

        = sin^{-1}(\frac{1.33}{1.47}

     critical angle    = 64.79°

incident angle > critical angle = reflection

incident angle < critical angle = refraction

In this case, 71.4 > 64.79 therefore it will undergo total internal reflection

therefore ray will not penetrate into the water
