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

Answer:

E_{net} = 6.44 \times 10^5 N/C

Explanation:

As we know that electric field due to infinite line charge distribution at some distance from it is given as

E = \frac{2k \lambda}{r}

now we need to find the electric field at mid point of two wires

So here we need to add the field due to two wires as they are oppositely charged

Now we will have

E_{net} = \frac{2k\lambda_1}{r} + \frac{2k\lambda_2}{r}

now plug in all data

\lambda_1 = 4.68 \muC/m

\lambda_2 = 2.48 \mu C/m

r = 0.200 m

now we have

E_{net} = \frac{2k}{r}(4.68 + 2.48)

E_{net} = \frac{2(9\times 10^9)}{0.200}(7.16 \times 10^{-6})

E_{net} = 6.44 \times 10^5 N/C

Estimate the mass of blood in your body Explain your reasoning (Note: It is not enough to provide a numeric answer. The main poi
AVprozaik [17]

Answer: A little more that 5 Kg for a healthy person

Explanation: First, we know the following:

The regular adult has from 9 to 12 pints of blood. This is around 5 liters for a healthy male adult.

The human body is composed mostly on water, around 80%.

Blood is mostly composed on plasma, which makes blood thicker than water.

Knowing that, almost all the body is compose of water, it is safe to think that blood density should be near to that of water but higher.

The density on water is a know value. Which makes the following true:

<em>1 Liter of Water weights 1 Kg</em>

<em />

It could be said then, that the total mass of blood for a healthy person should be a little more that 5 kgs.

Think about how each of noise, heat, visible light, radiation and atmospheric shock waves travel. Which ones require air particles to travel?

A vacuum has no air particles within it, it is completely empty.

Therefore, any of the above that requiring particles to travel will not be able to cross it and the observer will not experience it.
