Andy is waiting at the signal. As soon as the light turns green, he accelerates his car at a uniform rate of 8.00 meters/second2

. What is the displacement of Andy’s car after 30.0 seconds?

-- The car starts from rest, and goes 8 m/s faster every second.

-- After 30 seconds, it's going (30 x 8) = 240 m/s.

-- Its average speed during that 30 sec is  (1/2) (0 + 240) = 120 m/s

-- Distance covered in 30 sec at an average speed of 120 m/s 

                                                                           = <span> 3,600 meters .</span>
___________________________________

The formula that has all of this in it is the formula for 
distance covered when accelerating from rest:

       Distance = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (time)²

                       = (1/2) ·      (8 m/s²)     · (30 sec)²

                       =      (4 m/s²)          ·      (900 sec²)

                       =            3600 meters.

_________________________________

When you translate these numbers into units for which
we have an intuitive feeling, you find that this problem is 
quite bogus, but entertaining nonetheless.

When the light turns green, Andy mashes the pedal to the metal
and covers almost 2.25 miles in 30 seconds. 

How does he do that ?

By accelerating at 8 m/s².  That's about 0.82 G  !

He does zero to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, and at the end
of the 30 seconds, he's moving at 534 mph !  

He doesn't need to worry about getting a speeding ticket.
Police cars and helicopters can't go that fast, and his local
police department doesn't have a jet fighter plane to chase
cars with.

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

A lateral eruptions or lateral blast is a volcanic eruption which is directed laterally from a volcano rather than upwards from the summit. Lateral eruptions are caused by the outward expansion of flanks due to rising magma. Breaking occurs at the flanks of volcanoes making it easier for magma to flow outward.

A 0.50 kg toy is attached to the end of a 1.0 m very light string. The toy is whirled in a horizontal circular path on a frictio
xenn [34]

Answer:

The maximum speed will be 26.475 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given mass of the toy m = 0.50 kg

radius of the light string r = 1 m

Tension on the string T = 350 N

We have to find the maximum speed without breaking the string  

For without breaking the string tension must be equal to the centripetal force

So T=\frac{mv^2}{r}

So 350=\frac{0.5\times v^2}{1}

v^2=700

v = 26.475 m /sec

So the maximum speed will be 26.475 m/sec

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

182.28 W

Explanation:

Here ,

m = 7.30 Kg

distance , d= 28.0 m

time , t = 11.0 s

average power supplied = change in potential energy/time

average power supplied = m×g×d/time

average power supplied = 7.30×9.81×28/11

average power supplied = 182.28 W

the average power supplied is  182.28 W
