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

A 12.0kg microwave oven is pushed 14.0m up the sloping surface of a loading ramp inclined at an angle 37 degrees above the horiz
Semenov [28]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

a) What is the work done on the oven by the force F?

W = F * x

W = 120 N * (14.0 cos(37))

<<<< (x component)

W = 1341.71

b) F_f=\mu_k N

F_f=0.25\times12\times9.8

= 29.4 N

W_f= F_f\times x

W_f= 29.0\times 14 cos(37)

W_f= 328.72 J = 329 J

c) increase in the internal energy

U_2 = mgh

= 12*9.81*14sin(37)

= 991 J

d) the increase in oven's kinetic energy

U_1 + K_1 + W_other = U_2 + K_2

0 + 0 + (W_F - W_f ) = U_2 + K_2

1341.71 J - 329 J - 991 J = K_2

K_2 = 21.71 J

e) F - F_f = ma

(120N - 29.4N ) / 12.0kg = a

a = 7.55m/s^2

vf^2 = v0^2 + 2ax

vf^2 = 2(7.55m/s)(14.0m)  

V_f = 14.5396m/s

K = 1/2(mv^2)

K = 1/2(12.0kg)(14.5396m/s)

K = 87.238J

44. A rescue helicopter is hovering over a person whose boat has sunk. One of the rescuers throws a life preserver straight down
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

18.4 m

Explanation:

(a)

The known variables in this problem are:

u = 1.40 m/s is the initial vertical velocity (we take downward direction as positive direction)

t = 1.8 s is the duration of the fall

a = g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

(b)

The vertical distance covered by the life preserver is given by

d=ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2

If we substitute all the values listed in part (a), we find

d=(1.40 m/s)(1.8 s)+\frac{1}{2}(9.8 m/s^2)(1.8 s)^2=18.4m
