Answer:

The car overtakes the truck at a distance d = 3266.2ft from the starting point

Explanation:

Problem Analysis

When car catches truck:

dc = dt = d

dc: car displacement

dt: truck displacement

tc = tt = t

tc: car time

tt : truck time

car kinematics :

car moves with uniformly accelerated movement:

d = vi*t + (1/2)a*t²

vi = 0 : initial speed

d = (1/2)*a*t² Equation (1)

Truck kinematics:

Truck moves with constant speed:

d = v*t Equation (2)

Data

We know that the acceleration of the car is 3.00 ft / s² and the speed of the truck is 70.0 ft / s .

Development problem

Since the distance traveled by the car is equal to the distance traveled by the truck and the time elapsed is the same for both, then we equate equations (1 ) and (2)

Equation (1) = Equation (2)

(1/2)*a*t² = v*t

(1/2)*3*t² = 70*t  (We divide both sides by t)

1.5*t = 70

t = 70 ÷ 1.5

t = 46.66 s

We replace t = 46.66 s in equation (2) to calculate d:

d = 70*46.66 = 3266.2ft

d = 3266.2 ft

What is the dimensional formula of thermal conductivity?​
Inga [223]

Answer:

The dimension of thermal conductivity is M1L1T−3Θ−1, expressed in terms of the dimensions mass (M), length (L), time (T), and temperature (Θ). Other units which are closely related to the thermal conductivity are in common use in the construction and textile industries.

I WILL MARK U BRAINLIEST IF U CAN ANSWER THIS QUESTION!!
sergey [27]

Answer:

The answer is (d) is totally reflected

Explanation:

Using the total internal reflection concept.

This concept state that:

"If the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle then the light will not refract but it will reflect back totally"

Using the above statement, as incident angle is 42 degree and critical angle is 41 degree it means incident angle is greater than the critical angle. Therefore, light will not refract but it will totally reflected.
