To find this simply draw a triangle with the hypotenuse being 15 and the angle between the hypotenuse and bottom leg is 20. The horizontal component is the horizontal leg. to find this you would use cos and then solve for the bottom leg.

When you do, you get 15cos(20)

A car initially at rest accelerates at 10m/s^2. The car’s speed after it has traveled 25 meters is most nearly... A.) 0.0m/s B.)
STALIN [3.7K]

The car traverses a distance x after time t according to

x=\dfrac12at^2

where a is its acceleration, 10 m/s^2. The time it takes for the car to travel 25 m is

25\,\mathrm m=\left(5\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2\implies t=\sqrt 5\,\mathrm s

5 is pretty close to 4, so we can approximate the square root of 5 by 2. Then the car's velocity v after 2 s of travel is given by

v=\left(10\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(2\,\mathrm s)\approx20\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

which makes C the most likely answer.

jeka94

Answer:

g = 5 m/s square

Explanation:

Weight(W), Mass(m), Gravity(g)

W = mg

1,000N = 200g

g = 1000/200

g = 5 m/s square

Cars A and B are racing each other along the same straight road in the following manner: Car A has a head start and is a distanc
4vir4ik [10]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Cars A nad B are racing each other along the same straight road in the following manner: Car A has a head start and is a distance D_{A} beyond the starting line at t = 0. The starting line is at x = 0. Car A travels at a constant speed v_{A}. Car B starts at the starting line but has a better engine than Car A and thus Car B travels at a constant speed v_{B}, which is greater than v_{A}.

Part A: How long after Car B started the race will Car B catch up with Car A? Express the time in terms of given quantities.

Part B: How far from Car B's starting line will the cars be when Car B passes Car A? Express your answer in terms of known quantities.

Answer: Part A: t=\frac{D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}

              Part B: x_{B}=\frac{v_{B}D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}

Explanation: First, let's write an equation of motion for each car.

Both cars travels with constant speed. So, they are an uniform rectilinear motion and its position equation is of the form:

x=x_{0}+vt

where

x_{0} is initial position

v is velocity

t is time

Car A started the race at a distance. So at t = 0, initial position is D_{A}.

The equation will be:

x_{A}=D_{A}+v_{A}t

Car B started at the starting line. So, its equation is

x_{B}=v_{B}t

Part A: When they meet, both car are at "the same position":

D_{A}+v_{A}t=v_{B}t

v_{B}t-v_{A}t=D_{A}

t(v_{B}-v_{A})=D_{A}

t=\frac{D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}

Car B meet with Car A after t=\frac{D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}} units of time.

Part B: With the meeting time, we can determine the position they will be:

x_{B}=v_{B}(\frac{D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}} )

x_{B}=\frac{v_{B}D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}

Since Car B started at the starting line, the distance Car B will be when it passes Car A is x_{B}=\frac{v_{B}D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}} units of distance.

An open pipe of length 0.39m vibrates in the third harmonic with a frequency of 1400Hz. What is the distance from the center of
Gnoma [55]

Length of the pipe = 0.39 m

Third harmonic frequency = 1400 Hz

For the third harmonic:

Wavelength = \frac{2L}{3}

The center of the open pipe will host a node and the nearest anti - node from the center will be at the 0.25 × wavelength

Distance from center  = 0.25 × wavelength

Distance = 0.25 x \frac{2L}{3}

Plugging the value of the length of the pipe (L) = 0.39 m = 39 cm

Distance = 0.25 x \frac{2 \times 39}{3}

Distance from the center to the nearest anti - node = 6.5 cm

Hence, the nearest distance to the anti - node from the center = 6.5 cm

So, option C is correct.
