A taxi traveling along a straight section of road starts from rest, accelerating at 2.00 m/s^2 until it reaches a speed of 29.0

m/s. Then the vehicle travels for 87.0 s at constant speed until the brakes are applied, stopping the vehicle in a uniform manner in an additional 5.00 s. How long is the taxi in motion (in s)? ​What is the average velocity of the taxi for the motion described? (Enter the magnitude in m/s.)​

Answer:

a) The taxi is 107 s in motion

b) The average velocity is 26.2 m/s

Explanation:

First, the car travels with an acceleration of 2.00 m/s². The equations for position and velocity that apply for the car are:

x = x0 + v0 t + 1/2 a t²

v = v0 + a t

where

x = position at time t

x0 = initial position

v0 = initial speed

t = time

a = acceleration

v = speed

Let´s calculate how much distance and for how long the taxi travels until it reaches a speed of 29.0 m/s:

Using the equation for velocity:

v = v0 + a t

v - v0 / a = t

(29.0 m/s - 0 m/s) / 2 m/s² = t

<u>t = 14.5 s</u>

Then, in the equation for position:

x = x0 + v0 t + 1/2 a t²

x = 0 + 0 + 1/2 * 2.00 m/s² * (14.5 s)²

<u>x = 210 m</u>

<u />

Then, the vehicle travels at constant speed for 87 s. The distance traveled will be:

x = v * t

x = 29.0 m/s * 87.0 s = <u>2.52 x 10³ m</u>

Lastly the car stops (v = 0) in 5 s. In this case, the car has a constant negative acceleration:

Using the equation for velocity:

v = v0 + a t

if v=0 in 5 s, then:

0 = 29.0 m/s + a * 5.00 s

a = -29.0 m/s / 5.00 s  

a = -5.80 m/s²

Using now the equation for the position, we can calculate how far has the taxi traveled until it came to stop:

x = x0 + v0 t + 1/2 a t²

x = 0 + 29.0 m/s * 5.00 s -1/2 * 5.80 m/s² * (5.00s)²

<u>x = 72.5 m</u>

a) The taxi has been in motion for:

Total time = 14.5 s + 87.0 s + 5.00s = <u>107 s</u>

Note that we have always used x0 = 0, then, we have calculated the displacement for each part of the trip.

Adding all the displacements, we will get the total displacement:

Total displacement = 210 m + 2.52 x 10³ m + 72.5 m = 2.80 x 10³ m

Average speed = total displacement / total time

<u>Average speed = 2.80 x 10³ m / 107 s = 26.2 m/s </u>

A 2.6 kg mass attached to a light string rotates on a horizontal,
Ainat [17]

The maximum speed the mass can have before it breaks is 2.27 m/s.

The given parameters:

  • <em>maximum mass the string can support before breaking, m = 17.9 kg</em>
  • <em>radius of the circle, r = 0.525 m</em>

The maximum speed the mass can have before it breaks is calculated as follows;

T = ma_c\\\\Mg = \frac{Mv^2}{r} \\\\v^2 = rg\\\\v = \sqrt{rg} \\\\v_{max} = \sqrt{0.525 \times 9.8} \\\\v_{max} = 2.27 \ m/s

Thus, the maximum speed the mass can have before it breaks is 2.27 m/s.

3. What is electric current?<br> The flow of moving electrons<br><br> electrons that move one time
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

An electric current is a stream of charged particles, such as electrons or ions, moving through an electrical conductor or space. It is measured as the net rate of flow of electric charge through a surface or into a control volume. ... In electric circuits the charge carriers are often electrons moving through a wire.

Determine the acceleration that result when a 12-N net force is applied to a 3-kg object and then to a 6-kg object
user100 [1]

For 3 kg mass: <em>F = \lpha ma,a = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{12N}{3kg} = 4\lpha m / s^{2}</em>

For 6 kg mass: <em>F = \lpha ma,a = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{12N}{6kg} = 2\lpha m / s^{2}</em>

Superman attempts to drink water through a very long vertical straw. With his great strength, he achieves maximum possible sucti
Stells [14]

Answer:

10.32874 m

Explanation:

P_a = Atmospheric pressure = 101325 Pa

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = Height of water

\rho = Density of water = 1000 kg/m³

If the walls of the tube do not collapse that means that maximum pressure inside will be the atmospheric pressure

Atmospheric pressure is given by

P_a=\rho gh\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{P_a}{\rho g}\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{101325}{1000\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow h=10.32874\ m

The maximum height to which Superman can lift the water is 10.32874 m

On the Moon there is no atmosphere so no atmospheric pressure which means when the straw is placed in water water will not rise in the tube.
