The car's motion can be divided into three different stages: its motion before the driver realizes he's late, its motion after t

he driver hits the gas (but before he sees the police car), and its motion after the driver sees the police car. Which of the following simplifying assumptions is it reasonable to make in this problem? a. During each of the three different stages of its motion, the car is moving with constant acceleration. b. During each of the three different stages of its motion, the car is moving with constant velocity. c.The highway is straight (i.e., there are no curves). d. The highway is level (i.e., there are no hills or valleys).Enter all the correct answers in alphabetical order without commas. For example, if statements C and D are correct, enter CD.

Answer:

B, C, D are valid assumptions

Explanation:

In each stage the acceleration of the car varies because the velocity of car varies in each stage. At first, the acceleration of the car is moving slowly.

Then, driver realizes that he is late so the acceleration of the car increases he hits the gas.

Finally, the acceleration decreases when he sees the police car.

In the first state when driver do not know, that he is late, he will drive with a constant velocity as any one does.

When the driver hits the gas and he does not know about the police vehicle, even then he may drive with constant velocity or he may accelerate the car due to fear of being caught.

In the last part of motion when driver see the police car, even than he may accelerate the car, but acceleration will be constant throughout the motion is not possible, or even than he may continue with constant velocity.

Hence, there are only three assumptions are valid.

B. During each of the three different stages of its motion, the car is moving with constant velocity.

C . The highway is straight.

D. The highway is level.

Note that the rate of change of speed is equal to the acceleration. The acceleration is constant if change in velocity of particle is equal in equal interval of time.

An object of mass 0.40 kg, hanging from a spring with a spring constant of 8.0 N/m, is set into an up-and-down simple harmonic m
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

a = 2 m/s2

Explanation:

we know from newtons 2nd law

F = ma.

we also know that from hookes law we have

F = kx

equate both value of force to get value of acceleration

kx = ma,

where,

k is spring constant = 8.0 N/m

x is maximum displacement  0.10 m

m is mass of object 0.40 kg

a = \frac{kx}{m}

     = \frac{8 *0 .10}{0.40}

a = 2 m/s2

A 5.0-kg box has an acceleration of 2.0 m/s2 when it is pulled by a horizontal force across a surface with μK = 0.50. Find the w
Maslowich

Answer:a) 34.5 N; b) 24.5 N; c) 10 N; d) 1J

Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to used the second Newton law given by:

∑F= m*a

F-f=m*a where f is the friction force (uk*Normal), from this we have

F= m*a+f=5 Kg*2 m/s^2+0.5*5Kg*9.8 m/s^2= 34.5 N

then f=uk*N=0.5*5Kg*9.8 m/s^2= 24.5N

the net Force = (34.5-24.5)N= 10 N

Finally the work done by the net force is equal to kinetic energy change so

W=∫Force net*dr= 10 N* 0.1 m= 1J

Two fat black arrows are swimming along together, when they see a single skinny black arrow coming toward them. They are afraid of strangers, and they know that the skinny one must be mean and tough if it's not afraid to travel alone. So they turn to the side and get out of the skinny arrow's way.
