A speeder passes a parked police car at a constant speed of 23.3 m/s. At that instant, the police car starts from rest with a un

iform acceleration of 2.75 m/s 2 . How much time passes before the speeder is overtaken by the police car? Answer in units of s.

Answer:

32s

Explanation:

We must establish that by the time the police car catches up to the speeder, both have travelled a certain distance during the same amount of time. However, the police car experiences accelerated motion whereas the speeder travels at a constant velocity. Therefore we will establish two formulas for distance starting with the speeder's distance:

x=vt=23.3\frac{m}{s}t

and the police car distance:

x=vt+\frac{at^{2}}{2}=0+\frac{2.75\frac{m}{s^{2}} t^{2}}{2}=0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}

Since they both travel the same distance x, we can equal both formulas and solve for t:

0 = 0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}t^{2}-23.3\frac{m}{s} t\\\\0=t(0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}t-23.3\frac{m}{s} )\\\\

Two solutions exist to the equation; the first one being t=0

The second solution will be:

0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}t=23.3\frac{m}{s}\\\\t=\frac{23.3\frac{m}{s}}{0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}}=32s

This result allows us to confirm that the police car will take 32s to catch up to the speeder

E=mc2<br> sun is losing 4.3 billion kg mass each second ?<br> can you let me know why ?
Vanyuwa [196]
Yes I can. You've come to the right place. The reason is because that's where the sun's energy comes from. The sun converts that much mass into energy every second. Then the energy leaves the Sun and shines out into space. A tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny bit of it hits the Earth and it sustains life on Earth.

A ball is thrown straight upward and rises to a maximum height of 18.0 m above its launch point. at what height above its launch
slava [35]

A ball is thrown straight upward and rises to a maximum height of 18.0 m

above its launch point. at what height above its launch point has the

speed of the ball decreased to one-half of its initial value?

-----------------------

kinematic equation

v^2=u^2-2as; v0=,s=18,a=-10m/s/s

u=root 360


(u/2)^2=u^2-2as

=>s=13.5m
