A professional racecar driver buys a car that can accelerate at 5.9 m/s2. The racer decides to race against another driver in a

souped-up stock car. Both start from rest, but the stock-car driver leaves 1.0 s before the driver of the racecar. The stock car moves with a constant acceleration of 3.6 m/s2. a. Find the time it takes the racecar driver to overtake the stock-car driver. b. Find the distance the two drivers travel before they are side by side. c. Find the velocities of both cars at the instant they are side by side.​

Answer:

(a) Time will be t = 3.56 sec

(b) Distance traveled by car when they are side by side is 37.38712 m

(b) Velocity of race car = 21.004 m/sec

velocity of stock car = 12.816 m/sec            

Explanation:

We have given acceleration of the car a_1=5.9m/sec^2

Acceleration of the stock car a_2=3.6m/sec^2

When 1st car overtakes the second car then distance traveled by both the car will be same

(a) So s_1=s_2

As both car starts from rest so initial velocity of both car will be 0 m/sec

It is given that stock car leaves 1 sec before

So \frac{1}{2}\times 5.9\times t^2=\frac{1}{2}\times (t+1)^2\times 3.6

After solving t = 3.56 sec

(b) From second equation of motion s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2=0\times 3.56+\frac{1}{2}\times 5.9\times 3.56^2=37.38712m

(c) From first equation pf motion v = u+at

So velocity of race car v = 0+5.9×3.56 = 21.004 m/sec

Velocity of stock car v = 0+ 3.6×3.56 = 12.816 m/sec

How are oceans connected to all bodies of water
inn [45]
Oceans are collected to all bodies of water because

- All Rivers, streams, or swamps end up flowing out into an ocean somehow
- The oceans are the largest bodies of water, so most of the water on earth comes from them, or has been in the oceans.

20 POINTS 20 POINTS On a bright sunny day you decide to take a walk. You begin at your home and walk 1000 meters to an ice cream
Kay [80]

Answer:

A) Total Distance = 2000 m and Total displacement = 0 m

B) Average Speed = 44.44 m/min and Average Velocity = 0 m/min

C) Average Speed = 0.7407 m/s and Average velocity = 0 m/s

Explanation:

A) Distance to reach ice cream shop from home = 1000 meters

Therefore distance to get back home would also be 1000 meters.

Total distance traveled = 1000 + 1000 = 2000 metres

Since journey started at home and ended at home, then total displacement = 0 metres.

B) Average speed = Total distance/total time.

Total time = 10 + 15 + 20 = 45 minutes

Since total distance = 2000 m

Then;

Average speed = 2000/45

Average speed = 44.44 m/min

Average velocity = Total displacement/total time

Average velocity = 0/45 = 0 m/min

C) We now want answers in B to be in m/s.

Total time = 45 minutes.

From conversion, 60 seconds make 1 minute. Thus, 45 minutes = 45 × 60 = 2700 seconds

Thus;

Average Speed = 2000/2700

Average Speed = 0.7407 m/s

Average displacement = 0/2700 = 0 m/s

LenKa [72]

Answer:

Sound energy is produced when an object vibrates. The sound vibrations cause waves of pressure that travel through a medium, such as air, water, wood or metal. Sound energy is a form of mechanical energy.

Identifying What are five things
g100num [7]

Answer:

1. Naturally occuring

2. Solid

3. Inorganic

4. Crystalline

5. Specific Chemical Compostion

Explanation:

Minerals are inorganic, crystalline solids that occur during biogeochemical processes in nature like in cooled lava or evaporated sea water. Minerals are not rocks, but are actually the components that make up rocks. Though they vary in color and shape, each mineral has a distinct chemical composition.

1. Minerals are formed by natural geological processes. Most minerals form from molten lava, sea evaporation or hot liquids in caves or cracks. Laboratory-generated minerals like synthetic gems made for commercial purposes are not considered actual minerals.

2. Though minerals vary in shape, color, luster (the way a mineral reflects light) and hardness, all minerals are a solid at a given temperature. If a substance is not in its solid state, it is not currently a mineral. For example, ice is a mineral, but liquid water is not. The Mohr scale, rates a minerals hardness from one to 10, 10 being the hardest. Diamond is the hardest mineral. Talc is a very soft mineral with a Mohr rating of one.

3. Minerals are wholly inanimate, inorganic compounds. But there are exceptions to this qualifier. There are rare organic substances with definitive chemical compositions that are labeled as “organic minerals." The most famous of this oxymoronic exception is whewellite. Whewellite is a component of kidney stones and coal deposits.

4. Most minerals will grow into a crystal shape, space permitting. Mineral deposits are often small because there is usually a variety of minerals in the same vicinity competing for the same room to grow. A mineral’s crystalline structure determines its hardness, cleavage (how it breaks) and color. There are six different crystal shapes: cubic, tetragonal, orthohombic, hexagonal, monoclinic and triclinic.

5. A mineral is defined by its chemical composition. A rock, on the other hand, does not have a specific chemical composition because it is a composite of a variety of minerals. Minerals are classified based on their anionic group. The major mineral groups are native elements, sulfides, sulfosalts, oxides and hydroxides, halides, carbonates, nitrates, borates, sulfates, phosphates and silicates. Silica is abundant in the Earth’s crust, so silicates are the most common group of mineral.
