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

6. An aircraft is is travelling along a runway at a Velocity of 25m/s in It accelerates at a rate of 4m/s² for a distance of 750
zysi [14]

Answer:

Take-off velocity = v = 81.39[m/s]

Explanation:

We can calculate the takeoff speed easily, using the following kinematic equation.

v_{f}^{2}=v_{i}^{2} +2*a*x

where:

a = acceleration = 4[m/s^2]

x = distance = 750[m]

vi = initial velocity = 25 [m/s]

vf = final velocity

v_{f}=\sqrt{(25)^{2}+(2*4*750) } \\v_{f}=81.39[m/s]

A car drives off a cliff next to a river at a speed of 30 m/s and lands on the bank on theother side. The road above the cliff i
dezoksy [38]

Answer:1.301 s

Explanation:

Given

Initial Velocity(u)=30 m/s

Height of cliff=8.3 m

Time taken to cover 8.3 m

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

here Initial vertical velocity is 0

8.3=\frac{gt^2}{2}

t^2=1.69

t=1.301 s

Horizontal distance

R=u\times t

R=30\times 1.301=39.04 m

Select the correct answer. Eli and Andy want to find out which of the two is stronger. Eli pushes a table with a force of 120 ne
sergiy2304 [10]

Acceleration of the table: B. 0.50 meters/second2

Explanation:

The problem can be solved by using Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force acting on an object is the product of its mass and its acceleration. Mathematically:

\sum F = ma

where

\sum F is the net force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

For the table in this problem, we have:

\sum F = 125 N - 120 N = 5 N is the net force on the table, because there are two forces of 125 N and 120 N acting in opposite  directions

m = 10.0 kg is the mass of the table

Solving for a, we find the acceleration:

a=\frac{\sum F}{m}=\frac{5}{10.0}=0.50 m/s^2

Denise is conducting a physics experiment to measure the acceleration of a falling object when it slows down and comes to a stop
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

D!

Explanation:

Using the formula F = ma, you plug in 4.9 for F (force), and 0.5 for m (mass), then solve for a (acceleration).
