Answer:

A) The car will hit the barrier

b) 19.82 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

Distance = Speed × Time

⇒Distance = (75/3.6)×0.6

⇒Distance = 12.5 m

Distance traveled by the car during the reaction time is 12.5 m

Equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-\frac{75}{3.6}^2}{2\times -8.5}\\\Rightarrow s=25.53\ m

Total distance traveled is 12.5+25.53 = 38.03 m

So, the car will hit the barrier

Distance = Speed × Time

⇒d = u0.6

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-u^2}{2\times -8.5}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{u^2}{17}

d + s = 35

\\\Rightarrow u0.6+\frac{u^2}{17}=35\\\Rightarrow \frac{u^2}{17}+0.6u-35=0

10u^2+102u-5950=0\\\Rightarrow u=\frac{-51+\sqrt{62101}}{10},\:u=-\frac{51+\sqrt{62101}}{10}\\\Rightarrow u=19.82, -30.02

Hence, the maximum velocity by which the car could be moving and not hit the barrier 35 meters ahead is 19.82 m/s.

If at 10m above the ground an object has 50J of Kinetic Energy, with 50J of Potential Energy. How high can the object travel?
steposvetlana [31]

Hi there!

\large\boxed{\text{B) 20 meters}}

We know that:

E_T = U + K

U = Potential Energy (J)

K = Kinetic Energy (J)

E = Total Energy (J)

At 10m, the total amount of energy is equivalent to:

U + K = 50 + 50 = 100 J

To find the highest point the object can travel, K = 0 J and U is at a maximum of 100 J, so:

100J = mgh

We know at 10m U = 50J, so we can solve for mass. Let g = 10 m/s².

50J = 10(10)m

m = 1/2 kg

Now, solve for height given that E = 100 J:

100J = 1/2(10)h

100J = 5h

<u>h = 20 meters</u>

The following are the Earth–Sun distance at the equinoxes and solstices: March equinox 149.0 million km June solstice 152.0 mill
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

During <u>winter (late December/early January)</u> the Earth is closest to the Sun and during <u>summer (late June/early July)</u> the Earth is farthest from the Sun.

Explanation:

In the northern hemisphere, the earth usually comes closer to the sun during the time of winter season, mostly in late December or early January.

On the other hand, the earth is farthest from the sun during the time of summer season, mostly in late June or early July.

When the earth is closer to the sun, during the winter, it is comparatively cold. It is due to the absorption of a lesser amount of incoming solar radiation. The tilt of the earth is also responsible for this low temperature.

But, when the earth is farthest from the sun, during the summer, it is comparatively hot. It is due to the absorption of a large amount of incoming solar radiation.
