Nope.
False.
The shift in spectral lines reveals only 'radial' motion ...
motion toward us or away from us. The spectrum
carries no information related to motion across the
line of sight.

Constant Acceleration Kinematics: Car A is traveling at 22.0 m/s and car B at 29.0 m/s. Car A is 300 m behind car B when the dri

Ainat [17]

Answer:

The taken is $t_A = 19.0 \ s$

Explanation:

Frm the question we are told that

The speed of car A is $v_A = 22 \ m/s$

The speed of car B is $v_B = 29.0 \ m/s$

The distance of car B from A is $d = 300 \ m$

The acceleration of car A is $a_A = 2.40 \ m/s^2$

For A to overtake B

The distance traveled by car B = The distance traveled by car A - 300m

Now the this distance traveled by car B before it is overtaken by A is

$d = v_B * t_A$

Where $t_B$ is the time taken by car B

Now this can also be represented as using equation of motion as

$d = v_A t_A + \frac{1}{2}a_A t_A^2 - 300$

Now substituting values

$d = 22t_A + \frac{1}{2} (2.40)^2 t_A^2 - 300$

Equating the both d

$v_B * t_A = 22t_A + \frac{1}{2} (2.40)^2 t_A^2 - 300$

substituting values

$29 * t_A = 22t_A + \frac{1}{2} (2.40)^2 t_A^2 - 300$

$7 t_A = \frac{1}{2} (2.40)^2 t_A^2 - 300$

$7 t_A =1.2 t_A^2 - 300$

$1.2 t_A^2 - 7 t_A - 300 = 0$

Solving this using quadratic formula we have that

$t_A = 19.0 \ s$
