Consider two cars, a 700kg Porsche and a 600kg Honda Civic. The Porsche is speeding along at 40 m/s (mph) and the Civic is going

half the speed at 20 m/s. If the two cars brake to a stop with the same constant acceleration, lets look at whether the amount of time required to come to a stop or the distance traveled prior to stopping is influenced by their initial velocity.
1. A car traveling 5m/s slams on its brakes, creating an acceleration of -2 m/s^2. How far did the car travel after it applied its brakes?
2. The same car traveling for 10m/s applies the same acceleration of -2 m/s^2. How far did the car travel after it applied its brakes?

Answer:

Explanation:

To find the distance covered by the car after it applied brakes, we use 3rd equation of motion.

2as = Vf² - Vi²

s = (Vf² - Vi²)/2a

1.

We have:

Vi = Initial Velocity = 5 m/s

Vf = Final Velocity = 0 m/s    (Since, car finally stops)

a = deceleration = - 2 m/s²

s = distance covered by the car = ?

Therefore,

s = [(0 m/s)² - (5 m/s)²]/2(- 2 m/s²)

<u>s = 6.25 m</u>

<u></u>

2.

We have:

Vi = Initial Velocity = 10 m/s

Vf = Final Velocity = 0 m/s    (Since, car finally stops)

a = deceleration = - 2 m/s²

s = distance covered by the car = ?

Therefore,

s = [(0 m/s)² - (10 m/s)²]/2(- 2 m/s²)

<u>s = 25 m</u>

<u></u>

Hence, the distance traveled by the car is affected by the initial speed in accordance with a direct relationship.

Imagine you are in an open field where two loudspeakers are set up and connected to the same amplifier so that they emit sound w
Scilla [17]

Answer:

d= 5.62 m

Explanation:

In order to have destructive interference, the path difference from the sources to the listener must be an odd multiple of half wavelengths, as follows:

d = (2n+1) * λ/2

In orfer to know which is the wavelength, we can use the relationship between propagation speed (in this case speed of sound), frequency and wavelength:

v= λ*f  ⇒ λ = v/f = 344 m/s / 688 1/sec = 0.5 m

So, the path difference must be, at least, λ/2:

d = b-a = λ/2, where b is the distance to the speaker B, and a, the distance to the speaker A.

Applying Pithagorean Theorem, as the perpendicular distance d (which is our unknown) is the same for the triangles defined by the horizontal distance to the listener, and the straight line from the new position to the sources, we can write:

d² = a²- (3.0)²

d² = b²- (3.5)²

As the left sides are equal, so do right sides:

a² - (3.0)² = b² - (3.5)²

⇒ b² - a² = (3.5)² - (3.0)² = 3.25

We can replace (b²- a²) as follows:

b² - a² = (b+a)(b-a) = 3.25 (2)

We know that b-a = λ/2 = 0.25

Replacing in (2), we have:

b+a = 3.25 / 0.25 = 13 m

b-a = 0.25 m

Adding both sides:

2*b = 13.25 m  ⇒ b= 13.25 /2 = 6.63 m

⇒ d² = (6.63)² - (3.5)² = 31.6 m²

⇒ d=√31.6 m² = 5.62 m

A particle leaves the origin with an initial velocity v⃗ =(2.40 m/s)xˆv→=(2.40 m/s)x^ , and moves with constant acceleration a⃗
shtirl [24]

Answer:

distance stop 1.52m,

velocity  4.0 m/s y^

Explanation:

The movement of the particle is two-dimensional since it has acceleration in the x and y axes, the way to solve it is by working each axis independently.

a) At the point where the particle begins to return its velocity must be zero (Vfx = 0)

     Vfₓ = V₀ₓ + aₓ t  

     t = -  V₀ₓ/aₓ

     t = - 2.4/(-1.9)

     t=  1.26 s

At this time the particle stops, let's find his position

     X1 = V₀ₓ t + ½ aₓ t²

     X1= 2.4 1.26 + ½ (-1.9) 1.26²

     X1= 1.52 m

At this point the particle begins its return

b) The velocity has component x and y

   As a section, the X axis x Vₓ = 0 m/s is stopped, but has a speed on the y axis

    Vfy= Voy + ay t

    Vfy= 0 + 3.2 1.26

    Vfy = 4.0 m/s

the velocity is  

    V = (0 x^ + 4.0 y^) m/s

c) In order to make the graph we create a table of the position x and y for each time, let's start by writing the equations

      X = V₀ₓ t+ ½  aₓ t²

      Y = Voy t + ½  ay t²

      X= 2.4 t + ½ (-1.9) t²

      Y= 0 + ½ 3.2 t²

      X= 2.4 t – 0.95 t²

      Y=   1.6 t²

With these equations we build the table to graph, for clarity we are going to make two distance graph with time, one for the x axis and another for the y axis

                       Chart to graph

              Time (s)     x(m)            y(m)

                 0                0               0

                 0.5             0.960       0.4

          1       1.45          1.6

                 1.50      1.46      3.6

                2.00      1.00      6.4

What evidence did Galileo use to prove the heliocentric model?
mel-nik [20]
<span>Galileo Galilei was the first astronomer to use a telescope to study the heavens. Galileo made a number of observations that finally helped convince people that the Sun-centered solar system model (the heliocentric model), as proposed by Copernicus, was correct. These arguments can be divided into two kinds: Those that proved that the Ptolemaic model was incorrect and those that undermined the broader philosophy of Aristotelianism that included the Ptolemaic model. We'll first consider some philosophically important observations and then the ones that pro</span>
