A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at constant speed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcycle

are both traveling at the same speed of 19.0m/s , and the distance between them is 52.0m . After t1 = 5.00s , the motorcycle starts to accelerate at a rate of 5.00m/s^2. How long does it take from the moment when the motorcycle starts to accelerate until it catches up with the car?

Answer:

4.56 s

Explanation:

Let t (seconds) be the time it takes from the moment when the motorcycle starts to accelerate until it catches up with the car. Since prior to this they are traveling at constant speed, they would have maintained a distance of 52 m before accelerating.

The distance traveled by the car, with respect the motorcycle position when it start accelerating is

s_c = s_0 + v_ct = 52 + 19t

The distance traveled by the motorcycle after accelerating, with respect the motorcycle position when it start accelerating is

s_m = v_mt + at^2/2 = 19t + 5t^2/2

When the motorcycle catches up to the car, their position are at the same

s_c = s_m

52 + 19t = 19t + 5t^2/2

52 = 5t^2/2

t^2 = 20.8

t = \sqrt{20.8} = 4.56 s

krok68 [10]

Answer:

r = 4.21 10⁷ m

Explanation:

Kepler's third law It is an application of Newton's second law where the forces of the gravitational force, obtaining

            T² = (\frac{4\pi }{G M_s} ) r³             (1)

           

in this case the period of the season is

            T₁ = 93 min (60 s / 1 min) = 5580 s

            r₁ = 410 + 6370 = 6780 km

            r₁ = 6.780 10⁶ m

for the satellite

           T₂ = 24 h (3600 s / 1h) = 86 400 s

if we substitute in equation 1

            T² = K r³

            K = T₁²/r₁³

            K = \frac{ 5580^2}{ (6.780 10^6)^2}

            K = 9.99 10⁻¹⁴ s² / m³

we can replace the satellite values

            r³ = T² / K

            r³ = 86400² / 9.99 10⁻¹⁴

            r = ∛(7.4724 10²²)

            r = 4.21 10⁷ m

this distance is from the center of the earth

Given parameters:

Mass on earth  = 50kg

Unknown:

Mass on planet Xenon = ?

Weight on planet Xenon = ?

Mass is the amount of matter contained in a particular substance.

Weight is the force on a body and it is derived from the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity.

         Weight  = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Planet Xenon has half the gravitational force of Earth.

 This translated gives \frac{9.8}{2}   = 4.9m/s²

Now, mass is always the same every where if the amount of matter in a substance does not change.

In this problem, mass = 50kg on planet xenon.

Weight =  mass x acceleration due to gravity  = 50 x 4.9  = 245N

The weight on Xenon is 245N and the mass is 50kg

Neither set of choices is correct.

If the distance is tripled, then the forces decrease to

1/9 Fg. and. 1/9 Fe.

Note. When the objects are charged, the gravitational force Fg can almost always be ignored, since Fe is like 10^40 greater when the quantities of mass and charge are similar.
