To demonstrate the tremendous acceleration of a top fuel drag racer, you attempt to run your car into the back of a dragster tha

t is "burning out" at the red light before the start of a race. (Burning out means spinning the tires at high speed to heat the tread and make the rubber sticky.) You drive at a constant speed of v0 toward the stopped dragster, not slowing down in the face of the imminent collision. The dragster driver sees you coming but waits until the last instant to put down the hammer, accelerating from the starting line at constant acceleration, a. Let the time at which the dragster starts to accelerate be t = 0.
(A) What is tmax, the longest time after the dragster begins to accelerate that you can possibly run into the back of the dragster if you continue at your initial velocity?

Answer:

Explanation:

If the dragster  attains the speed equal to that of the car which is moving with constant velocity of v₀ , before the two close in contact with each othe , there will not be collision .

So the dragster starting from rest , must attain the velocity v₀ in the maximum time given that is tmax .

v = u + a t

v₀ = 0 + a tmax

tmax = v₀ / a

The value of tmax is v₀ / a .

Which property of sound waves decreases as the square of the distance from the source increases?
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Intensity

Explanation:

The intensity of a sound wave is equal to the ratio between to the power emitted by the source divided by the area of the spherical surface through which the wave propagates:

I=\frac{P}{4\pi r^2}

where

P is the power

4\pi r^2 is the area of the spherical surface

r is the distance from the source

As we see from the formula, the intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source:

I\propto \frac{1}{r^2}

so, intensity is the correct answer.
