A speeding car traveling at 24.8 m/s passes a police car that is at rest. The police car begins its pursuit at the instant the s

peeding car passes and maintains a constant acceleration. (a) What acceleration is required for the police car to overtake the speeding car in 897 m?

Answer:

the acceleration required is 1.37m/s^2

Explanation:

The car is having a constant velocity movement, so if we calculate the time to reach 897m, we can use it to find the acceleration the policeman need to apply to reach the car.

x=v*t\\t=\frac{x}{v}\\t=\frac{897m}{24.8m/s}\\t=36.17s

the policeman is traveling with a constant acceleration starting from rest so:

x=\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2\\\\a=\frac{2*x}{t^2}\\\\a=1.37 m/s2

You drop an ice cube into an insulated bottle full of water and wait for the ice cube to completely melt. The ice cube initially
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

T_{f}  = 17º C

Explanation:

This is a calorimetry problem, where heat is yielded by liquid water, this heat is used first to melt all ice, let's look for the necessary heat (Q1)  

Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system  

      Ice m = 80.0 g (1 kg / 1000 g) = 0.080 kg  

            L = 3.33 105 J / kg  

Water  M = 860 g = 0.860 kg  

           c_{e} = 4186 J / kg ºC

    Q₁ = m L  

     Q₁ = 0.080 3.33 10⁵

     Q₁ = 2,664 10⁴ J

Now let's see what this liquid water temperature is when this heat is released  

      Q = M c_{e} ΔT = M c_{e} (T₀₁ -T_{f1})  

      Q₁ = Q  

     T_{f1} = T₀₁ - Q / M ce  

     T_{f1} = 26.0 - 2,664 10⁴ / (0.860 4186)  

     T_{f1} = 26.0 - 7.40  

     T_{f1} = 18.6 ° C  

The initial temperature of water that has just melted is T₀₂ = 0ª  

The initial temperature of the liquid water is T₀₁= 18.6  

     m c_{e} T_{f} + M c_{e} T_{1} = M c_{e} T₀₁ - m c_{e} T₀₂o2  

         T_{f} = (M To1 - m To2) / (m + M)  

         T_{f} = (0.860 18.6 - 0.080 0) / (0.080 + 0.860)  

T_{f} = 17º C

What effect would thick cloud cover have on the temperature of earth's surface?
Vladimir79 [104]
Thick cloud cover over the whole of planet Earth would block out sunlight from reaching the surface.  This means that it would lower the temperature on the Earth's surface.
