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

After the first solid grains formed in our solar system, these particles could then grow by the process of ____, the collision a
labwork [276]

Answer:

Accretion

Explanation:

Accretion is the process by which there is an accumulation of particles into a bigger object by attracting more mass by gravitational force into an accretion disk. This is one of the first steps in the formation of our solar system. There was a collapse of a gas cloud which resulted in most of the mass collecting in the center leading to the formation of the sun and the rest spread out forming the planets.

Consider the magnetic field (B) of a wire with a constant current (I). A Magnetic Field sensor is placed at a radius (r). Will t
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

No, the magnitude of the magnetic field won't change.

Explanation:

The magnetic field produced by a wire with a constant current is circular and its flow is given by the right-hand rule. Since this field is circular with center on the wire the magnitude of the magnetic field around the wire will be given by B = [(\mi_0)*I]/(2\pi*r) where (\mi_0) is a constant, I is the current that goes through the conductor and r is the distance from the wire. If the field sensor will move around the wire with a fixed radius the distance from the wire won't change so the magnitude of the field won't change.

A car traveling at 60 mph has how much more energy than a car going at 20 mph? How many times does the kinetic energy of a car i
irinina [24]

K.E. increases by 9 times

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of a car is given by:

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the car

v is its speed

From this definition, we see that the kinetic energy depends on the square of the velocity. Assuming that both cars have same mass, m, the kinetic energy of the first car is:

K_1 = \frac{1}{2}m(60)^2

while the kinetic energy of the second car is

K_2 = \frac{1}{2}m(20)^2

if we calculate the ratio, we get

\frac{K_1}{K_2}=\frac{(60)^2}{(20)^2}=3^2 =9
