Cars A and B are racing each other along the same straight road in the following manner: Car A has a head start and is a distanc

e DA beyond the starting line at t=0. The starting line is at x=0. Car A travels at a constant speed vA. Car B starts at the starting line but has a better engine than Car A, and thus Car B travels at a constant speed vB, which is greater than vA
How long after Car B started the race will Car B catch up with Car A?

Answer:\frac{D_A}{v_B-v_A}

Explanation:

Given

car A had a head start of D_A

and it starts at x=0 and t=0

Car B has to travel a distance of D_A and d_a

where d_a is the distance travel by car A in time t

distance travel by car A is

d_a=v_A\times t

For car B with  speed v_B

d_B=D_A+d_a

v_B\times t=D_A+v_A\times t

t=\frac{D_A}{v_B-v_A}

During the first 14 minutes of a 1.0 hour trip, a car has an average speed 36 km/h. What must the average speed in km/h of the c
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

85.5 km/h

Explanation:

t_{1} = time interval for first phase = 14 min = \frac{14}{60} h = 0.233 h

t_{2} = time interval for second phase = 46 min = \frac{46}{60} h = 0.767 h

v = average speed for the entire trip = 74 km/h

v_{1} = average speed in first phase = 36 km/h

v_{2} = average speed in second phase

d_{1} = distance traveled in first phase

d_{2} = distance traveled in first phase

average speed is given as

v = \frac{d_{1} + d_{2}}{t_{1} + t_{2}}

v = \frac{v_{1} t_{1} + v_{2} t_{2}}{t_{1} + t_{2}}

74 = \frac{(36) (0.233) + v_{2} (0.767)}{0.233 + 0.767}

74 = (36) (0.233) + v_{2} (0.767)

v_{2} = 85.5 km/h

How do fluids excert pressure​
Artyom0805 [142]

All fluids exert pressure like the air inside a tire. The particles of fluids are constantly moving in all directions at random. As the particles move, they keep bumping into each other and into anything else in their path. These collisions cause pressure, and the pressure is exerted equally in all directions.

For thermal equilibrium at temperature Tan appropriate measure of energy is kT where k is Boltzmann's constant. Convert the foll
Schach [20]

Answer:

1 cm⁻¹ =1.44K  1 ev = 1.16 10⁴ K

Explanation:

The relationship between temperature and thermal energy is

     E = K T

The relationship of the speed of light

    c =λ f = f / ν          1/λ= ν

The Planck equation is

          E = h f

Let's start the transformations

     c = f λ = f / ν        

     f = c ν

     E = h f

     E = h c ν

     E = KT

     h c ν = K T

     T = h c ν  / K =( h c / K) ν

Let's replace the constants

     h = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ J s

     c = 3 10⁸ m / s

     K = 1.38  10⁻²³ J / K

 

     v = 1 cm-1 (100 cm / 1 m) = 10² m-1

   

     T = (6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3. 10⁸ / 1.38 10⁻²³) 1 10²

     A = h c / K = 1,441 10⁻²

     T =  1.44K

     ν = 103 cm⁻¹ = 103 10² m

     T = (6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3. 10⁸ / 1.38 10⁻²³) 103 10²

     T = 148K

1 Rydberg = 1.097 10 7 m

As we saw at the beginning the λ=1 / v

     T = (h c / K) 1 /λ

     T = 1,441 10⁻²  1 / 1,097 10⁷

     T = 1.3 10⁻⁹ K

    E = 1Ev (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J /1 eV) = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J

    E = KT

    T = E/K

    T = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ /1.38 10⁻²³

    T = 1.16 10⁴ K
