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 21.5 m/s , and the distance between them is 52.0 m . After t1 = 4.00 s , the motorcycle starts to accelerate at a rate of 6.00 m/s2 . The motorcycle catches up with the car at some time t2. How long does it take from the moment when the motorcycle starts to accelerate until it catches up with the car? In other words, find t2-t1? How far does the motorcycle travel from the moment it starts to accelerate (at time t1) until it catches up with the car (at time t2 )?

Answer:

a) t = 4.16 s

b) x = 141.51 m

Explanation:

Given

v = 21.5 m/s

x0 = 52.0 m

a = 6.0 m/s²

a) Motorcycle

x = v0*t + (a*t²/2)

x = 21.5t + (6*t²/2)

x = 21.5t + 3t²   <em>(I)</em>

Car

x = x0 + v0*t

x = 52 + 21.5t  <em>(II)</em>

<em />

then we can apply <em>I = II</em>

21.5t + 3t² = 52 + 21.5t

⇒ 3t² = 52

⇒ t = 4.16 s

b) We can use <em>I</em> or <em>II</em>, then

x = 52 + 21.5*(4.16)

⇒ x = 141.51 m

Engineers tasked with building a car bumper need high-quality plastic that is readily available. They found the material polycar
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The material must be durable (quality of the material requirement)

Explanation:

The design criteria set for the materials used for technological design are;

1) The materials should be affordable (less costly)

2) The materials should be last for a long duration (high durability)

3) The material should be readily available (easily sourced)

Therefore, given that the engineers initially had the criteria for the required plastic to be of high quality and to be readily available, and that the poly-carbonate they found is long lasting and not too costly, the criteria met that was set initially was the  quality criteria of durability.

Hello everyone. This is a question about Dimensional Analysis and I came across this question but I am unable to wrap my head ar
omeli [17]

Answer:

2. [B] = [L]/[T] and [C] = [L]/[T]

Explanation:

I assume you mean this:

A = B² + 2B⁴/C²

Since you can't add numbers with different units (for example, you can't add seconds to meters), each term in the sum must have the same units as A.

B² = [L]²/[T]²

B = [L]/[T]

B⁴/C² = [L]²/[T]²

C²/B⁴ = [T]²/[L]²

C² = B⁴ [T]²/[L]²

C² = ([L]/[T])⁴ [T]²/[L]²

C² = [L]²/[T]²

C = [L]/[T]

Notice we ignore the 2 coefficient, which is unitless.

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

a

\theta_{max} =18.38^o

b

New  n_{cladding} =1.491

Explanation:

 From the question we are told that

          The refractive index of the core is  n_{core} = 1.497

         The refractive index of the cladding  is   n_{cladding} = 1.421

Generally according to Snell's law

      n_{core} * sin(90- \theta) = n_{cladding} * sin (90)

Where \theta_{max} is the largest angle a largest angle a ray will make with respect to the interface of the fiber and experience total internal reflection

      \theta_{max} = 90 - sin^{-1} [\frac{n_{cladding}}{n_{core}} ]

       \theta_{max} = 90 - sin^{-1} [\frac{1.421}{1.497}} ]

      \theta_{max} =18.38^o

Given from the question the the largest angle is  5°

Generally the refraction index of the cladding is mathematically represented as

           n_{cladding} = n_{core} * sin (90 - 5)

          n_{cladding} =1.491
