Two cars drive on a straight highway. At time t=0, car 1 passes mile marker 0 traveling due east with a speed of 20.0 m/s. At th

e same time, car 2 is 1.2 km east of mile marker 0 traveling at 30.0 m/s due west. Car 1 is speeding up with an acceleration of magnitude 0.10 m/s^2 , and car 2 is slowing down with an acceleration of magnitude 0.30 m/s^2. At what time do the cars pass next to one another?

Answer:

The cars pass next to one another after 25.28 s.

Explanation:

When the cars pass next to one another, the position of both cars is the same relative to the center of the system of reference (marker 0 in this case). Then:

Position of car 1 = position of car 2

The position of an accelerating object moving in a straight line is given by this equation:

x = x0 +v0 t +1/2 a t²

where

x = position at time t

x0 = initial position

v0 = initial speed

t = time

a = acceleration

If the position of car 1 = position of car 2 then:

0 km + 20.0 m/s * t + 1/2 * 0.10 m/s² * t² = 1.2 km - 30.0 m/s * t + 1/2 * 0.30 m/s² * t²

Note that the acceleration of car 2 has to be positive because the car is slowing down and, in consequence, the acceleration has to be opposite to the velocity. The velocity is negative because the direction of car 2 is towards the origin of our system of reference. Let´s continue:

0 km + 20.0 m/s * t + 1/2 * 0.10 m/s² * t² = 1.2 km - 30.0 m/s * t + 1/2 * 0.30 m/s² * t²

1200 m - 50.0 m/s * t + 0.10 m/s² * t² = 0

Solving the quadratic equation:

t = 25.28 s

t = 474. 72 s We discard this value because, if we replace it in the equation of the position of car 2, we will get a position of 20762 m, which is impossible because the position of car 2 can´t be greater than 1200 m.

Then, the cars pass next to one another after 25.28 s

Who came up with the theory of relativity?
liberstina [14]

Albert Einstein, in his theory of special relativity, determined that the laws of physics are the same for all non-accelerating observers, and he showed that the speed of light within a vacuum is the same no matter the speed at which an observer travels

A tuba may be treated like a tube closed at one end. If a tuba has a fundamental frequency of 88.4 Hz, determine the first three
yulyashka [42]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Fundamental frequency,f=88.4 Hz

Speed of sound,v=343 m/s

We have to find the first three overtones.

Tube is closed

The overtone of closed pipe  is equal to odd number of fundamental frequency.

Therefore, the overtone of tuba

f'=nf

Where n=3,5,7,..

Substitute n=3

f'=3\times 88.4=265.2Hz

For second overtone

f'=5\times 88.4=442Hz

For third overtone

f'=7\times 88.4=618.8Hz

leva [86]

The acceleration of this item will remain constant if I double the force and double the mass.

<h3>What does acceleration mean ?</h3><h3 />

The rate at which a moving object's speed and direction change over time. When something moves faster or slower, it is considered to be accelerating. Motion on a circle accelerates even while the speed is constant because the direction is always changing.

  • If an object is accelerating and moving in the appropriate direction, it has positive acceleration. The speeding automobile in the first scenario showed positive acceleration. The car is moving forward and accelerating in the same direction as the acceleration.
