Answer:

A) It takes the truck 8 s to catch the motorcycle.

B) The motorcycle has traveled 160 m in that time.

C) The velocity of the truck is 40 m/s at that time.

Explanation:

The equations of the position and velocity of an object moving in a straight line are as follows:

x = x0 +v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

v = v0 + a · t

Where:

x = position

x0 = initial position

v0 = initial velocity

t = time

a = acceleration

v = velocity at time t

(A) When the the truck catches the motorcycle, both have the same position. Notice that the motorcycle moves at constant speed so that a = 0:

x truck = x motorcycle

x0 +v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t² = x0 + v · t

Placing the origin of the frame of reference at the point where the truck starts, both have an initial position of 0. The initial velocity of the truck is 0. Then:

1/2 · a · t² = v · t

solving for t:

t = 2 v/a

t = 2 · 20 m/s/ 5 m/s²

t = 8 s

It takes the truck 8 s to catch the motorcycle.

(B) Using the equation of the position of the motorcycle, we can calculate the traveled distance in 8 s.

x = v · t

x = 20 m/s · 8 s

x = 160 m

(C) Now, we use the velocity equation at time 8 s.

v = v0 + a · t

v = 0 m/s + 5 m/s² · 8 s

v = 40 m/s

As keisha runs the generator, which best describes what should happen to the needle that measures electric current? it will move
SOVA2 [1]

The diagram shows a simple electric generator. The needle that measures electric current will move back and forth between a largely positive and a large negative value.

  • What is an electric generator?
  1. An electric generator is physically equivalent to an electric motor. but it converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
  2. The electrical field generated is dependent on the inclination of the wire with respect to magnetic field lines, and this inclination changes over time,

because of that she will experience a varying electrical field, and thus a varying electric current will be zero.

The maximum positive value will occur when the wire is perpendicular to the magnetic field lines after one-fourth of rotation, and then zero.

Hence option C is correct.

The diagram shows a simple electric generator. The needle that measures electric current will move back and forth between a largely positive and a large negative value.

b The atmosphere protects us and animals from dangerous radiation from the Sun. Ultraviolet radiation is basically invisible rays of energy created by the sun.

cAlso, the atmosphere provides oxygen for humans and animals to breathe and C02 (Carbon dioxide) for plants.

That means there’s a very high chance the water in your glass is what thirsty dinosaurs were gulping about 65 million years ago.

What is the force of gravity for a 12 kg turkey?<br><br> Please help asap
pogonyaev

Answer: 117.6N

Explanation:

By the second Newton's law, we know that:

F = m*a

F = force

m = mass

a = acceleration

We know that in the surface of the Earth, the gravitational acceleration is g = 9.8m/s^2.

Then we just can input that acceleration in the above equation, and also replace m by 12kg, and find that the force due the gravity is:

F = 12kg*9.8m/s^2 = 117.6N
