A car and a train move together along straight, parallel paths with the same constant cruising speed v0. At t=0 the car driver n

otices a red light ahead and slows down with constant acceleration −a0. Just as the car comes to a full stop, the light immediately turns green, and the car then accelerates back to its original speed v0 with constant acceleration a0. During the same time interval, the train continues to travel at the constant speed v0.Part A :- How much time does it take for the car to come to a full stop? Express your answer in terms of v0 and a0Part B:- How much time does it take for the car to accelerate from the full stop to its original cruising speed? Express your answer in terms of v0 and a0.Part C:- The train does not stop at the stoplight. How far behind the train is the car when the car reaches its original speed v0 again? Express the separation distance in terms of v0 and a0 . Your answer should be positive.

Answer:

a) t1 = v0/a0

b) t2 = v0/a0

c) v0^2/a0

Explanation:

A)

How much time does it take for the car to come to a full stop? Express your answer in terms of v0 and a0

Vf = 0

Vf = v0 - a0*t

0 = v0 - a0*t

a0*t = v0

t1 = v0/a0

B)

How much time does it take for the car to accelerate from the full stop to its original cruising speed? Express your answer in terms of v0 and a0.

at this point

U = 0

v0 = u + a0*t

v0 = 0 + a0*t

v0 = a0*t

t2 = v0/a0

C)

The train does not stop at the stoplight. How far behind the train is the car when the car reaches its original speed v0 again? Express the separation distance in terms of v0 and a0 . Your answer should be positive.

t1 = t2 = t

Distance covered by the train = v0 (2t) = 2v0t

and we know t = v0/a0

so distanced covered = 2v0 (v0/a0) = (2v0^2)/a0

now distance covered by car before coming to full stop

Vf2 = v0^2- 2a0s1

2a0s1 = v0^2

s1 = v0^2 / 2a0

After the full stop;

V0^2 = 2a0s2

s2 = v0^2/2a0

Snet = 2v0^2 /2a0 = v0^2/a0

Now the separation between train and car

= (2v0^2)/a0 - v0^2/a0

= v0^2/a0

1. How much energy is needed just to melt 0.56kg of ice at 0◦ C?
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

This will require 266.9 of heat energy.

Explanation:

To calculate the energy required to raise the temperature of any given substance, here's what you require:The mass of the material, m The temperature change that occurs,  ΔT The specific heat capacity of the material,

c

(which you can look up). This is the amount of heat required to raise 1 gram of that substance by 1°C.

Here is a source of values of

c for different substances:

Once you have all that, this is the equation:

Q=m×c×ΔT(Q is usually used to symbolize that heat required in a case like this.)For water, the value of c is 4.186g°C So, Q=750×4.186×85=266=858=266.858

A laser with a power of 1.0 mW has a beam radius of 1.0 mm. What is the peak value of the electric field in that beam
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The peak value of the electric field is 489.64 V/m

Explanation:

Given;

power of the laser, P = 1.0 mW = 1 x 10⁻³ W

Radius of the beam, R = 1.0 mm = 1 x 10⁻³ m

Area of the beam = πr² = π(1 x 10⁻³ )² = 3.142 x 10⁻⁶ m²

The average intensity of the light = P / A

The average intensity of the light = ( 1 x 10⁻³) / (3.142 x 10⁻⁶)

The average intensity of the light = 318.27 W/m²

The peak value of the electric field is given by;

E_o = \sqrt{\frac{2I_{avg}}{c\epsilon_o}}\\\\E_o = \sqrt{\frac{2(318.27)}{(3*10^8)(8.85*10^{-12})}}\\\\E_o = 489.64 \ V/m

Therefore, the peak value of the electric field is 489.64 V/m.

A capacitor consists of two parallel plates, each with an area of 17.0 cm2 , separated by a distance of 0.150 cm . The material
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

a)   C = 4,012 10⁻¹⁴ F, b)  Q = 1.6 10⁻¹¹ C , c)   U = 3.21 10⁻¹¹ J

Explanation:

a) The capacitance of a capacitor is

       C = k e₀ A / d

Let's calculate

       C = 4 8.85 10⁻¹² 17 10⁻⁴ / 0.150 10⁻²

       C = 4,012 10⁻¹⁴ F

b) let's look  the charge

        C = Q / ΔV

         Q = C ΔV

         Q = 4,012 10⁻¹⁴ 400

         Q = 1.6 10⁻¹¹ C

c) The stored energy

        U = ½ C ΔV²

        U = ½ 4,012 10⁻¹⁴  400²

        U = 3.21 10⁻¹¹ J
