Two cars are heading towards one another. Car A is moving with an acceleration of aA = 4 m/s2. Car B is moving with an accelerat

ion of aB = -11 m/s2. The cars are initially at rest and separated by a distance d = 2900 m on the x-axis. In how many seconds does Car B reaches to Car A?

Answer:

Car B reaches car A in 19.7 s.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of the position of an object moving in a straight line at constant acceleration is as follows:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

Where:

x = position of the object at time t.

x0 = initial position.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

a = acceleration

When both cars meet, their positions are the same. At the meeting point:

position of car A = position of car B

xA = xB

x0A + v0A · t + 1/2 · aA · t² = x0B + v0B · t + 1/2 · aB · t²

Let´s place the origin of the frame of reference at the point where A is located. In that case x0A = 0 and x0B = 2900 m. Since both cars are initially at rest, v0A and v0B = 0. So, the equation gets reduced to this:

1/2 · aA · t² = x0B + 1/2 · aB · t²  

If we replace with the data we have and solve for t:

1/2 · 4 m/s² · t² = 2900 m - 1/2 · 11 m/s² · t²

2 m/s² · t² =  2900 m - 5.5 m/s² · t²

5.5 m/s² · t² + 2 m/s² · t² = 2900 m

7.5 m/s² · t² = 2900 m

t² = 2900 m / 7.5 m/s²

t = 19.7 s

Car B reaches car A in 19.7 s.

The position vector of a particle of mass 1.70 kg as a function of time is given by r with arrow = (6.00 î + 5.70 t ĵ), where r
ollegr [7]

Answer:

The angular momentum of the particle is 58.14 kg m²/s along positive z- axis and is independent of time .

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 1.70 kg

Position vector r=(6.00\hat{i}+5.70 t \hat{j})

We need to calculate the angular velocity

The velocity is the rate of change of the position of the particle.

v = \dfrac{dr}{dt}

v=\dfrac{d}{dt}(6.00\hat{i}+5.70 t \hat{j})

v=5.70\hat{j}

We need to calculate the angular momentum of the particle

Using formula of angular momentum

L=r\cdot p

Where, p = mv

Put the value of p into the formula

L=m(r\times v)

Substitute the value into the formula

L=1.70(6.00\hat{i}+5.70 t \hat{j}\times5.70\hat{j})

L=1.70\times34.2

L=58.14\ kgm^2/s

Hence, The angular momentum of the particle is 58.14 kg m²/s along positive z- axis and is independent of time .

A golf ball is hit with a golf club. While the ball flies through the air, which forces act on the ball? Neglect air resistance.
34kurt

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the equation related to the Gravitational Force, the equation describes that

F = \frac{GMm}{r^2}

Where,

G = Gravitational Universal Constant

M = Mass of Earth (or Bigger star)

m = Mass of Object  (or smallest star)

r = Radius

From the statement we know that once the impact is made, the golf ball is subjected to the forces that are exerted in nature. Since the air resistance, which would represent the drag force, is ignored. Only the forces related to gravity remain.

The gravitational force carries 'pushes' or 'attracts' the body towards the earth, while the speed decreases as it reaches its maximum height.

When the ball has reached its maximum height only the force of gravity begins to act on it, generating the attraction to the earth in parabolic motion.

Therefore the correct answer is B.
