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

Answer:

V=15.3 m/s

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we have to use the energy conservation theorem:

U_e+K_i+U_{gi}+W_{friction}=K_f+U_{gf}

the elastic potencial energy is given by:

U_e=\frac{1}{2}*k*x^2\\U_e=\frac{1}{2}*1100N/m*(4m)^2\\U_e=8800J

The work is defined as:

W_{friction}=F_f*d*cos(\theta)\\W_{friction}=40N*2.5m*cos(180)\\W_{friction}=-100J

this work is negative because is opposite to the movement.

The gravitational potencial energy at 2.5 m aboves is given by:

U_{gf}=m*g*h\\U_{gf}=60kg*9.8*2.5\\U_{gf}=1470J

the gravitational potential energy at the ground and the kinetic energy at the begining are 0.

8800J+0+0+-100J=\frac{1}{2}*62kg*v^2+1470J\\v=\sqrt{\frac{2(8800J-100J-1470J)}{62kg}}\\v=15.3m/s

ki77a [65]
Theoretically, if the objects have the same mass and are moving towards each other at a speed of 0.34m s^{-1}, after a perfectly elastic collision, the object A is supposed to move with the same velocity in the opposite direction.

What is true about the force between charges?
shusha [124]

Answer:

The statements A and D are true

The statements B and C are false

Explanation:

The force between charges can be explained by the Coulomb's Law.

According to Coulomb:

1 - Like charges always repel each other

2- Unlike or opposite charges always attrack each other

3- Force between 2 charges is given by:

F=k\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

where F is the force between 2 charges and r is the distance between 2 charges.

We can see that Force F is inversely proportional to the distance r

Which means that when F increase, r decreases and when F decreases, r increases
