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 $=\frac{2v_m^2}{a_p}$

A large sheet of charge has a uniform charge density of 9  μCm2. What is the electric field due to this charge at a point just

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Explanation:

Surface charge density, σ = 9 μC/m² = 9 x 10^-6 C/m²

According to the Gauss theorem,

Electric field due to the sheet is given by

$E = \frac {\sigma }{2\epsilon _{0}}$

$E = \frac{9\times 10^{-6}}{2\times 8.854\times 10^{-12}}$

E = 5.08 x 10^5 N/C

38.4 mol of krypton is in a rigid box of volume 64 cm^3 and is initially at temperature 512.88°C. The gas then undergoes isobari

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Final volumen first process $V_{2} = 98,44 cm^{3}$

Final Pressure second process $P_{3} = 1,317 * 10^{10} Pa$

Explanation:

Using the Ideal Gases Law yoy have for pressure:

$P_{1} = \frac{n_{1} R T_{1} }{V_{1} }$

where:

P is the pressure, in Pa

n is the nuber of moles of gas

R is the universal gas constant: 8,314 J/mol K

T is the temperature in Kelvin

V is the volumen in cubic meters

Given that the amount of material is constant in the process:

$n_{1} = n_{2} = n$

In an isobaric process the pressure is constant so:

$P_{1} = P_{2}$

$\frac{n R T_{1} }{V_{1} } = \frac{n R T_{2} }{V_{2} }$

$\frac{T_{1} }{V_{1} } = \frac{T_{2} }{V_{2} }$

$V_{2} = \frac{T_{2} V_{1} }{T_{1} }$

Replacing : $T_{1} =786 K, T_{2} =1209 K, V_{1} = 64 cm^{3}$

$V_{2} = 98,44 cm^{3}$

Replacing on the ideal gases formula the pressure at this piont is:

$P_{2} = 3,92 * 10^{9} Pa$

For Temperature the ideal gases formula is:

$T = \frac{P V }{n R }$

For the second process you have that $T_{2} = T_{3}$ So:

$\frac{P_{2} V_{2} }{n R } = \frac{P_{3} V_{3} }{n R }$

$P_{2} V_{2} = P_{3} V_{3}$

$P_{3} = \frac{P_{2} V_{2}}{V_{3}}$

$P_{3} = 1,317 * 10^{10} Pa$

When Missourians carve their initials into the bark of a tree, the damage leaves the tree open to ____________________.

sasho [114]

Answer:

In fact, carving letters into a tree probably won't hurt it. ... In general, the tree will compartmentalize the wound and it will heal over. The initials that remain visible are essentially scar tissue, permanent scar tissue.

Explanation:

Unfortunately, when carving into the trunk of a tree the blade of a knife often penetrates the outer bark and cuts into the inner bark. ... In cases that the phloem is damaged all the way around the trunk (in a ring for example), the tree will slowly and eventually starve to death.

Two identical charges,2.0m apart,exert forces of magnitude 4.0 N on each other.What is the value of either charge?

storchak [24]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{42\, \mu \text{C}}$$

Explanation:

The formula for the force exerted between two charges is

$F=k \dfrac{ q_1q_2}{r^2}$

where k is the Coulomb constant.

The charges are identical, so we can write the formula as

$F=k\dfrac{q^{2}}{r^2}$

$\begin{array}{rcl}\text{4.0 N}& = & 8.988 \times 10^{9}\text{ N$\cdot$m$^{2}$C$^{-2}$} \times \dfrac{q^{2}}{\text{(2.0 m)}^{2}}\\\\4.0 & = & 2.25 \times 10^{9}\text{ C$^{-2}$} \times q^{2}\\\\q^{2} & = & \dfrac{4.0}{2.25 \times 10^{9}\text{ C$^{-2}$}}\\\\& = & 1.78 \times 10^{-9} \text{ C}^{2}\\q & = & 4.2 \times 10^{-5} \text{ C}\\& = & 42\, \mu \text{C}\\\end{array}\\\text{Each charge has a value of $\large \boxed{\mathbf{42\, \mu }\textbf{C}}$}$
