At the instant the traffic light turns green, a car starts with a const acceleration of 7.00 ft/sA2. At the same instant a truck
1 answer:
Answer:
d= 1400 ft :Distance from the starting point where the car reaches the truck
Explanation:
Car Kinematics : the car has uniformly accelerated movement, so we apply the following equation for distance
d₁= v₀₁*t + (1/2)* a₁*t₁² Equation 1
d₁: car distance (ft)
v₀₁: car initial speed (ft/s)
a₁ : car acceleration (ft/s²)
t1 : car time (s)
Truck Kinematics: The truck moves with uniform motion (constant speed), so the equation for distance is:
d₂= v₂*t₂ Equation (2)
d₂: truck distance (ft)
v₂: truck speed (ft/s)
t₂ : truck time (s)
Known data
v₀₁ = 0
a₁ = 7 ft/s²
v₂ = 70 ft/s
Problem development
The time and distance for when the car catches the truck is the same, then:
d₁=d₂ and t₁=t₂= t
Equation (1 )= the Equation ( 2)
v₀₁*t₁ + (1/2)* a₁*t₁² = v₂*t₂
v₀₁*t + (1/2)* a₁*t²= v₂*t
0*t + (1/2)*7*t² = 70*t : we divide both sides of the equation by t
(1/2)*7*t = 70
t= 20 s
We replace t= 20 s in the equation (2)
d= 70*20 = 1400 ft :Distance from the starting point where the car reaches the truck

Answer:
For this case, if we try to find the final temperature of A and B, we see that we will obtain an expression in terms of specific heats and masses, from the information given we know the relationship between specific heats, but we don't know the relationship that exists among the masses, then the best option for this case is:
d) More information is needed
(The relation between the masses is not given)
Explanation:
For this case we know the following info:
Where c means specific heat for the substance A and B.
We also know that the initial temperatures for both sustances are equal:
We assume that we don't have melting or vaporization in the 2 substances. So we just have presence of sensible heat given by this formula:
And for this case we know that Both A and B are at the same initial temperature when equal amounts of energy are added to them, so then we have this:
And if we replace the formula for sensible heat we got:
And if we replace for the change of the temperature we got:
And since we have this:
For this case, if we try to find the final temperature of A and B, we see that we will obtain an expression in terms of specific heats and masses, from the information given we know the relationship between specific heats, but we don't know the relationship that exists among the masses, then the best option for this case is:
d) More information is needed
