A 1100 kg automobile is at rest at a traffic signal. At the instant the light turns green, the automobile starts to move with a

constant acceleration of 5.0 m/s2. At the same instant a 2000 kg truck, traveling at a constant speed of 7.0 m/s, overtakes and passes the automobile. A)How far is the com of the automobile-truck system from the traffic light at t=3.0 s? B)What is the speed of the com then?

Answer:

a ) 21 m b) 7 m/s

Explanation:

For this case, we can consider for our reference system, that point zero (this is, at the rest of the traffic signal) is when X₀ = 0, and direction of movement is from left to right (positive sign)

For the car:  

a= acceleration is constant = 5 m/s² m1 , mass = 1100 Kg , V = not constant

This is an uniformly accelerated rectilinear movement, and applicable formulas are:

V = V₀ + at , X = X₀ + V₀t + 1/2at²

For the truck:

V = speed is constant = 7 m/s , mass = 2000 Kg, a = 0

This is an uniform rectilinear movement, and the applicable formula is:

X = X₀ + Vt

a) At t = 3.0 sec, we can use the formula for the track, considering that X₀ = 0 (when it pass the rest of the traffic signal)

X = 0 + (7 m/s)x(3 s) = 21 m  

So, at 3 sec, truck will be at 21 m from the rest of traffic light and, as truck has a constant speed; at that exact second; truck and car will be together as a com, so both will be 21 m away from point zero

b) At the exact time (3 sec, or in distance words, 21 m) car and truck will be together as a com, so they will both have the exact speed, hence, speed of car at that point will be 7 m/s

If the transformer’s primary coil has 20 times as many turns of wire in it as the secondary coil has, then the secondary coil provides a small voltage rise for the large amount of current that flows through it.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

A transformer has a two types of coils, the first one is primary coils and the second one is secondary coil. A secondary coils with hardly any turns in it provides the charges going through it just limited quantities of energy.

Without a long separation over which to do chip away at the charges streaming in the loop, the transformer delivers just a little ascent in the voltage of those charges. Be that as it may, the coil can give this little voltage to ascend to a huge current without requiring an excess of power supply from the input circuit.

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

A = B = C > D

Explanation:

Work done to stop the disc is given as

W = \Delta K

W = \frac{1}{2}I(\omega_f^2 - \omega_i^2)

so we have

(a) –2 rad/s, 5 rad/s;

(b) 2 rad/s, 5 rad/s;

(c) –2 rad/s, –5 rad/s; and

(d) 2 rad/s, –5 rad/s.

So we have

W_a = W_b = W_c = \frac{1}{2}I(5^2 - 2^2)

W_d = \frac{1}{2}I(2^2 - 5^2)

so we have

A = B = C > D
