At the instant the traffic light turns green, a car that has been waiting at an intersection starts with a constant acceleration

of 6 feet per second per second. At the same instant, a truck traveling with a constant velocity of 30 feet per second passes the car.
(a) How far beyond its starting point will the car pass the truck?
(b) How fast will the car be traveling when it passes the truck?

Answer:

(a) 300 ft

(b) 60 ft/s

Explanation:

distance d=0.5at^{2} where a is acceleration and t is time

d=0.5\times 6\times t^{2}=3t^{2}

Also, d=vt where v is the velocity

d=30t

Therefore

30t=3t^{2} hence t=10 s

Substituting t is either formula

d=30t=30*10=300 ft

Also

v=at hence v=6\times 10=60 ft/s

calculate the momentum of 5.07 kg egg that is dropped from a roof and falls 2 seconds before hitting the ground.
inysia [295]
Anything that's dropped on or near the Earth accelerates at the rate of
9.8 m/s² on its way down.  The mass of the object makes no difference. 
After falling for 2 seconds, it's falling at the rate of 19.6 m/s.

Momentum = (mass) x (speed)

The egg's momentum is   (5.07 kg) x (19.6 m/s) = 99.4 kg-m/s .

What is the function of hammer and anvil in human ear
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Vibrations of the eardrum are in turn translated into oscillations of tiny bones (ossicles) found within the middle ear. The Hammer, Anvil, and Stirrup magnify the oscillations and relay this information to the chamber of the inner ear.

A solar-powered car is traveling at constant speed around a circular track. what happens to the centripetal acceleration of the
anyanavicka [17]
Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration of an object acted upon a force that pulls it toward the center of origin. For constant speed, there is no acceleration, since acceleration is defined as the difference of velocities at an elapsed time. Hence, if speed doubles, then the centripetal acceleration would increase as well.

An object ends up at a final position of x=-55.25 meters after a displacement of -189.34 meters after a displacement of -189.34
Travka [436]

The initial position of the object was found to be 134.09 m.

<u>Explanation:</u>

As displacement is the measure of difference between the final and initial points. In other words, we can say that displacement can be termed as the change in the position of the object irrespective of the path followed by the object to change the path. So

Displacement = Final position - Initial position.

As the final position is stated as -55.25 meters and the displacement is also stated as -189.34 meters. So the initial position will be

Initial position of the object = Final position-Displacement

Initial position = -55.25 m - (-189.34 m) = -55.25 m + 189.34 m = 134.09 m.

Thus, the initial position for the object having a displacement of -189.34 m is determined as 134.09 m.
