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}

Suppose that a steel bridge, 1000 m long, were built without any expansion joints. Suppose that only one end of the bridge was h
Stels [109]

Answer:

The difference in the length of the bridge is 0.42 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length = 1000 m

Winter temperature = 0°C

Summer temperature = 40°C

Coefficient of thermal expansion \alpha= 10.5\times10^{-6}\ K^{-1}

We need to calculate the difference in the length of the bridge

Using formula of the difference in the length

\Delta L=L\alpha\Delta T

Where, \Delta T= temperature difference

\alpha=Coefficient of thermal expansion

L= length

Put the value into the formula

\Delta L=1000\times10.5\times10^{-6}(40^{\circ}-0^{\circ})

\Delta L=0.42\ m

Hence, The difference in the length of the bridge is 0.42 m.

Un bloque de 25 n se encuentra suspendido por un hilo al techo vitamina la tensión que aparece en el hilo
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

T = 25 N

Explanation:

The question says that "A 25 n block is suspended by a wire from the ceiling vitamin the tension that appears in the wire ?"

Weight of the block, W = 25 N

Weight of a body acts in downward direction and tension acts in upward direction. It would mean that,

Tension = weight of the block

T = mg

T = 25 N

Hence, the tension in the wire is 25 N.
