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>

How many significant figures does 0.00340 have?
True [87]
Greetings!

"<span>How many significant figures does 0.00340 have?"...

A significant figure is:
-A non zero number
-A zero in between non zero numbers
-Trailing zeros to the right of the decimal point

Therefore, this number has three significant figures:
3,4,0

Hope this helps.

Consider a simple pendulum with a period
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

1. The length is 8.35m

2. The period on the moon is 14.05 secs

Explanation:

1. Data obtained from the question. This includes the following:

Period (T) = 5.8 secs

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s2

Length (L) =...?

The length can be obtained by using the formula given below:

T = 2π√(L/g)

5.8 = 2π√(L/9.8)

Take the square of both side

(5.8)^2 = 4π^2 x L/ 9.8

Cross multiply

4π^2 x L = (5.8)^2 x 9.8

Divide both side by 4π^2

L = (5.8)^2 x 9.8 / 4π^2

L= 8.35 m

2. Data obtained from the question. This includes the following:

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 1.67 m/s2

Length (L) = 8.35m (the length remains the same)

Period (T) =?

The period can be obtained as follow:

T = 2π√(L/g)

T = 2π√(8.35/1.67)

T = 14.05 secs

Therefore, the period on the moon is 14.05 secs

What is it about copper that makes it a good conductor
natta225 [31]
It’s because conductors have nearly zero resistance to the flow of electrons that go through them. This leaves the electrons free to move and current can travel with full strength.
