A speeding motorist traveling with velocity Vm is spotted by a police car. The police car is initially at rest, but the instant

the motorist passes, accelerates with constant acceleration ap. Assume the police car maintains this acceleration and the motorist maintains velocity Vm. Find: a. The velocity of the police car when it catches up to the motorist. b. The time it takes for the police car to catch the motorist. c. How far does the police car travel to catch the motorist?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Let us suppose police car and motorist travel in straight line  and police car catches motorist after s distance

Distance travel by motorist

s=v_mt----1

Distance traveled by Police car

s=ut+\frac{at^2}{2}

s=0+\frac{a_pt^2}{2}

s=\frac{a_pt^2}{2}----2

from 1 & 2 we get

t=\frac{2v_m}{a_p}

(a)Velocity of Police car after t sec

v=u+a_pt

v=0+a_p\times \frac{2v_m}{a_p}

v=2v_m

(b)time taken by police car is

t=\frac{2v_m}{a_p}

(c)Distance travel by police car=\frac{2v_m^2}{a_p}

The aluminum atom______electrons to form an ion.<br> The ion that is formed is______.
Alchen [17]

The aluminum atom_loses_____electrons to form an ion.

The ion that is formed is_Al³⁺_____.

aluminium has the electronic configuration as 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p¹

from the electronic configuration , we see that aluminium can attain stability by losing 3 electrons from outer shell.

after losing 3 electrons , the ion formed is given as Al³⁺

hence the correct options to fill in the blanks are lose  and Al³⁺

The Reynolds number, rho VD/mu, is a very important parameter in fluid mechanics. Verify that the Reynolds number is dimensionle
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Re = 1 10⁴

Explanation:

Reynolds number is

         Re = ρ v D /μ

The units of each term are

       ρ = [kg / m³]

       v = [m / s]

      D = [m]

      μ = [Pa s]

The pressure

      Pa = [N / m²] = [Kg m / s²] 1 / [m²] = [kg / m s²]

      μ = [Pa s] = [kg / m s²] [s] = [kg / m s]

We substitute the units in the equation

      Re = [kg / m³] [m / s] [m] / [kg / m s]

      Re = [kg / m s] / [m s / kg]

      RE = [ ]

Reynolds number is a scalar

Let's evaluate for the given point

Where the data for methane are:

viscosity       μ = 11.2 10⁻⁶ Pa s

the density  ρ = 0.656 kg / m³

       D = 2 in (2.54 10⁻² m / 1 in) = 5.08 10⁻² m

       Re = 0.656 4 2 5.08 10⁻² /11.2 10⁻⁶

       Re = 1.19 10⁴

Why is the top of a wave called a crest
Molodets [167]

Answer: A crest is the highest point the medium rises to and a trough is the lowest point the medium sinks to. It is also a point on the wave where the displacement of the medium is at a maximum.

A slinky forms it’s third harmonic standing wave when the input frequency is 24 Hz. What is the fundamental frequency of the sli
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer: The fundamental frequency of the slinky = 8Hz

An input frequency of 28 Hz will not create a standing wave

Explanation:

Let Fo = fundamental frequency

At third harmonic,

F = 3Fo

If F = 24Hz

24 = 3Fo

Fo = 24/3 = 8Hz

If an input frequency = 28 Hz at 3rd harmonic

Let find the fundamental frequency

28 = 3Fo

Fo = 28/3

Fo = 9.33333Hz

Since Fo isn't a whole number, it can't create a standing wave
