"A trooper is moving due south along the freeway at a speed of 28 m/s. At time t = 0, a red car passes the trooper. The red car

moves with constant velocity of 40 m/s southward. At the instant the trooper's car is passed, the trooper begins to speed up at a constant rate of 2.9 m/s2. What is the maximum distance ahead of the trooper that is reached by the red car?"

Answer:

24.83 m

Explanation:

Applying the equation of motion;

d = vt + 0.5at^2 ......1

Where;

d = distance

v = velocity

t = time

a = acceleration

For the trooper;

v = 28 m/s

a = 2.9 m/s^2

Substituting into equation 1;

d1 = 28t + 0.5(2.9t^2)

d1 = 28t + 1.45t^2

For the red car;

v = 40 m/s

a = 0

Substituting into equation 1

d2 = 40t

The difference in distance is;

d = d2 - d1

d = 40t - (28t + 1.45t^2)

d = 12t - 1.45t^2

The maximum distance is at d(d)/dt = 0

differentiating d;

d' = 12 - 2.9t = 0

2.9t = 12

t = 12/2.9 = 4.137931034482

t = 4.138 s

Substituting t into function d;

d(max) = 12(4.138) - 1.45(4.138^2)

d(max) = 24.8275862 = 24.83 m

the maximum distance ahead of the trooper that is reached by the red car is 24.83 m

If someone is underground, then therefore there is less planet/ground underneath them, so there would be less gravity. Gravity directly affects weight.

What minimum speed must the rocket have just before impact in order to save the explorer's life?
34kurt
<span>Answer: Assuming that I understand the geometry correctly, the combine package-rocket will move off the cliff with only a horizontal velocity component. The package will then fall under gravity traversing the height of the cliff (h) in a time T given by h = 0.5*g*T^2 However, the speed of the package-rocket system must be sufficient to cross the river in that time v2 = L/T Conservation of momentum says that m1*v1 = (m1 + m2)*v2 where m1 is the mass of the rocket, v1 is the speed of the rocket, m2 is the mass of the package, and v2 is the speed of the package-rocket system. Expressing v2 in terms of v1 v2 = m1*v1/(m1 + m2) and then expressing the time in terms of v1 T = (m1 + m2)*L/(m1*v1) substituting T in the first expression h = 0.5*g*(m1 + m2)^2*L^2/(m1*v1)^2 solving for v1, the speed before impact is given by v1 = sqrt(0.5*g/h)*(m1 + m2)*L/m1</span>

In a ballistics test, a 24 g bullet traveling horizontally at 1200 m/s goes through a 31-cm-thick 320 kg stationary target and e

Answer:

The  velocity is  v_t  =  0.02175 \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  mass of the bullet is  m_b  =  0.024 \  kg

    The initial speed of the bullet is  u_b  =  1200 \  m/s

   The mass of the target is  m_t  =  320 \  kg

    The  initial velocity of target is  u_t  =  0  \ m/s

    The  final velocity of the bullet is  is  v_b  =  910 \  m/s

   

Generally according to the law of momentum conservation we have that

      m_b *  u_b  +  m_t *  u_t  =  m_b *  v_b  +  m_t  *  v_t

=>   0.024  *  1200  +  320 *  0  =  0.024 *  910   +  320  *  v_t

=>    v_t  =  0.02175 \  m/s
