In a bicycle race on a straight road, the leader is 72.0 m from the finish line and continues to travel to the finish line with

a constant speed of 12 m/s. When the leader is 72.0 m from the finish line, the second-place rider is 5.0 m behind him and traveling with a speed of 11.0 m/s when she decides to accelerate, keeping a constant acceleration for the rest of the race. The two riders end up crossing the finish line at exactly the same time.(a) Calculate the value of the second rider?s constant acceleration that allows her to cross the finish line at exactly the same time as the first rider.m/s2(b) What is the speed of the second rider as she crosses the finish line?m/s(c) What is the second rider's average speed over the final 77 m of the race?m/s

Tomtit [17]

Option(a)  the mass of cart 2 is twice that of the mass of cart 1 is the right answer.

The mass of cart 2 is twice that of the mass of cart 1  is correct about the mass of cart 2.

Let's demonstrate the issue using variables:

Let,

m1=mass of cart 1

m2=mass of cart 2

v1 = velocity of cart 1 before collision

v2 = velocity of cart 2 before collision

v' = velocity of the carts after collision

Using the conservation of momentum for perfectly inelastic collisions:

m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1 + m2)v'

v2 = 0 because it is stationary

v' = 1/3*v1

m1v1 = (m1+m2)(1/3)(v1)

m1 = 1/3*m1 + 1/3*m2

1/3*m2 = m1 - 1/3*m1

1/3*m2 = 2/3*m1

m2 = 2m1

From this we can conclude that the mass of cart 2 is twice that of the mass of cart 1.

Neporo4naja [7]

Explanation :

The heating curve shows how water changes from one state of matter to another based on temperature and the addition or removal of heat over time.

Initially, ice is heated until its temperature reaches 0^0\ C and changes to liquid state.

From the attached graph it is clear that until 100^0\ C the temperature will rise steadily. Here, the liquid begins to vaporize. Vaporization is the state of matter at which liquid state changes to the gaseous state.

So, E is the point which shows the gaseous state.

The atoms in a solid move about freely
ivolga24 [154]

No, not exactly.  They jiggle and tremble and vibrate a lot, but
they always basically stay in very nearly the same place.

It's like if you're allowed to go anywhere you want in your jail cell,
you wouldn't exactly call that "moving about freely".

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Technician A only

Explanation:

Both high-side pressures and low-side pressures are low with the engine running and the selector set to the air-conditioning position. Technician A says that the system is undercharged. Technician B says the cooling fan could be inoperative. Which technician is correct?

usually . An overcharged system will result in lower than normal low side pressures

An undercharged system will not enable  the compressor  to create pressure. As a result of the low amount of refrigerant, the cooling ability is reduced. When we say undercharged, we mean the refrigerant in the system is low, so the both the high side pressures and low side pressures will be low.
