You are driving at 35 m/s east and notice another car that is initially located 462 m in front of you and is moving east at 25 m

/s. How far do you travel before you pass the other car?

The easiest way to answer this question is by realizing there are relating the velocities of the two cars. To tackle this problem, you have to understand the picture.  Car 1 travels at 35m/s and Car 2 travels at 25m/s.  Based on relative velocities, we can understand that Car 1 travels 10m/s faster than Car 2 every second.  So we can interpret Car 1's relative velocity to Car 2 as 10m/s.  Car 1 needs to travel 10m/s till a point of catching up to Car 2 which is 462m away.

v = 10m/s

d = 462m

v = d/t

(10) = (462)/t

t = 46.2s

So it takes 46.2 seconds for Car 1 to catch up to Car 2, but the question is asking how far does Car 1 travel to catch up.  So we have to use Car 1's velocity and not the relative velocity:

v = 35m/s

v = d/t

(35) = d/(46.2)

d = 1617m

Car 1 traveled a total distance of 1617m.

-- You are 462 meters behind.

-- You're gaining on him at the rate of  (35m/s - 25m/s)= 10 m/s.

-- At that rate, it'll take you (462m / 10m/s)= 46.2 seconds to over take him.

-- During that time, you'll cover (46.2s x 35m/s)= <em>1,617 meters.</em>

Yakvenalex [24]
In order to create an electromagnet, you would wrap an insulated wire around a metal with ferromagnetic properties and apply electric current. Magnetic fields are made when entirely the electrons are turning in the same direction either as a natural phenomenon, in an artificially created magnet or when they are persuaded to do so by an electromagnetic field.

What does Newton’s second law predict about the acceleration if the net force acting on an object increases?
Lorico [155]
The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object. As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. As the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is decreased.

A battery with an emf of 12.0 V shows a terminal voltage of 11.7 V when operating in a circuit with two lightbulbs, each rated a
wariber [46]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

0.46Ω

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The electromotive force (E) in the circuit is related to the terminal voltage(V), of the circuit and the internal resistance (r) of the battery as follows;

E = V + Ir                      --------------------(a)

Where;

I = current flowing through the circuit

But;

V = I x Rₓ                    ---------------------(b)

Where;

Rₓ = effective or total resistance in the circuit.

<em>First, let's calculate the effective resistance in the circuit:</em>

The effective resistance (Rₓ) in the circuit is the one due to the resistances in the two lightbulbs.

Let;

R₁ = resistance in the first bulb

R₂ = resistance in the second bulb

Since the two bulbs are both rated at 4.0W ( at 12.0V), their resistance values (R₁ and R₂) are the same and will be given by the power formula;

P = \frac{V^{2} }{R}

=> R = \frac{V^{2} }{P}             -------------------(ii)

Where;

P = Power of the bulb

V = voltage across the bulb

R = resistance of the bulb

To get R₁, equation (ii) can be written as;

R₁ = \frac{V^{2} }{P}    --------------------------------(iii)

Where;

V = 12.0V

P = 4.0W

Substitute these values into equation (iii) as follows;

R₁ = \frac{12.0^{2} }{4}

R₁ = \frac{144}{4}

R₁ = 36Ω

Following the same approach, to get R₂, equation (ii) can be written as;

R₂ = \frac{V^{2} }{P}    --------------------------------(iv)

Where;

V = 12.0V

P = 4.0W

Substitute these values into equation (iv) as follows;

R₂ = \frac{12.0^{2} }{4}

R₂ = \frac{144}{4}

R₂ = 36Ω

Now, since the bulbs are connected in parallel, the effective resistance (Rₓ) is given by;

\frac{1}{R_{X} } = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2}       -----------------(v)

Substitute the values of R₁ and R₂ into equation (v) as follows;

\frac{1}{R_X} = \frac{1}{36} + \frac{1}{36}

\frac{1}{R_X} = \frac{2}{36}

Rₓ = \frac{36}{2}

Rₓ = 18Ω

The effective resistance (Rₓ) is therefore, 18Ω

<em>Now calculate the current I, flowing in the circuit:</em>

Substitute the values of V = 11.7V and Rₓ = 18Ω into equation (b) as follows;

11.7 = I x 18

I = \frac{11.7}{18}

I = 0.65A

<em>Now calculate the battery's internal resistance:</em>

Substitute the values of E = 12.0, V = 11.7V and I = 0.65A  into equation (a) as follows;

12.0 = 11.7 + 0.65r

0.65r = 12.0 - 11.7

0.65r = 0.3

r = \frac{0.3}{0.65}

r = 0.46Ω

Therefore, the internal resistance of the battery is 0.46Ω

20. Consider a model steel bridge that is 1/100 the exact scale of the real bridge that is to be built. a. If the model bridge w
Veseljchak [2.6K]
The model bridge captures all the structural attributes of the real bridge, at a reduced scale.

Part a.
Note that volume is proportional to the cube of length. Therefore the actual bridge will have 100^3 = 10^6 times the mass of the model bridge.

Because the model bridge weighs 50 N, the real bridge weighs
(50 N)*10^6 = 50 MN.

Part b.
The model bridge matches the structural characteristics of the actual bridge.
Therefore the real bridge will not sag either.
