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.

What is the car's speed at the bottom of the dip?The passengers in a roller coaster car feel 50% heavier thantheir true weight a
Rashid [163]

Answer:

v = 14 m/s

Explanation:

given,

radius of dip = 40 m

The passengers in a roller coaster car feel 50% heavier than their true weight.

Apparent weight

A = W + \dfrac{W}{2}

A =\dfrac{3W}{2}

A =\dfrac{3mg}{2}

When the car is at the bottom,  the weight will be acting downwards and the centripetal force will also be acting downward where as Normal force which is apparent weight will be acting in upward direction.

now,

N = m g + \dfrac{mv^2}{r}

\dfrac{3mg}{2} = m g + \dfrac{mv^2}{r}

\dfrac{mg}{2} = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}

v = \sqrt{\dfrac{rg}{2}}

v = \sqrt{\dfrac{40\times 9.8}{2}}

v = 14 m/s

According to Kepler's Second Law the radius vector drawn from the Sun to a planet Multiple Choice is the same for all planets. s
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

sweeps out equal areas in equal times.

Explanation:

As we know that there is no torque due to Sun on the planets revolving about the sun

so we will have

\tau_{net} = 0

now we have

\frac{dL}{dt}= 0

now we also know that

Area = \frac{1}{2}r^2d\theta

so rate of change in area is given as

\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{1}{2}r^2\frac{d\theta}{dt}

so we will have

\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{1}{2}r^2\omega

\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{L}{2m}

since angular momentum and mass is constant here so

all planets sweeps out equal areas in equal times.
