A self-driving car traveling along a straight section of road starts from rest, accelerating at 2.00 m/s2 until it reaches a spe

ed of 32.0 m/s. Then the vehicle travels for 53.0 s at constant speed until the brakes are applied, stopping the vehicle in a uniform manner in an additional 5.00 s. (a) How long is the self-driving car in motion (in s)? s (b) What is the average velocity of the self-driving car for the motion described? (Enter the magnitude in m/s.) m/s

Answer:

t = 75.4 s

v = 26.9 m/s

Explanation:

Part1 :

v1 = 0 m/s

v2 = 32 m/s

a = 2 m/s2

The time needed to reach the final speed is:

v2 = v1 + a*t

32 = 0 + 2*t

t = 16 s

Part 2:

constant speed of 32 m/s for 53 s

Part 3:

v2 = 32 m/s

v3 = 0 m/s

t = 5 s

The acceleration is negative because the car is stopping:

v3 = v2 + a*t

0 = 32 + a*5

a = - 6.4 m/s

a) The total time the car is in motion is:

total time = 16 + 53 + 6.4 = 75.4 s

b) For the average speed you can calculate the total distance and divide it by the total time for an easier way

Part 1

d = (32+0)/2 * 16 = 256 m

Part 2

d = 32 * 53 = 1696 m

Part 3

d = (32+0)/2 * 5 = 80 m

Average speed:

v = (256 + 1696 + 80)/75.4 = 26.9 m/s

A see-saw is balanced on a pivot with two children on it. One child is sitting 1.5 m to the left of the pivot and has a mass of
Lorico [155]

Answer:

Explanation:

Remark

This is a second class lever. It is much more efficient than the fishing pole problem. All distances are measured from the pivot in these kinds of questions.

Givens

d1 = 1.5

d2 = ?

m1 = 50 kg

m2 = 30 kg

The lighter child will have to sit further away from the pivot to make the two conditions equal.

Formula

d1*m1 = d2*m2

1.5*50 = d2 * 30

75 = 30 * d2

75/30 = d2

d2 = 2.5

Remark

Notice that the distance is longer for the lighter child. The fact that these are masses and not forces does not matter, but you should take note of it. There is a difference between masses and forces. See the fishing pole problem.

Answer to the multiple Choice question. No motion on this kind of problem means equal moments. The answer is D

Problem 2

1) The wheels are further apart making B more stable. The wider the distance the wheels are apart, the harder it would be to tip the concrete mixer over

2) The center of gravity is lower. The higher the force is the more chance you have of exerting an external force to tip the mixer over.

The graph below shows the speed of a car as it drives along a racetrack.
nordsb [41]

Answer:

Average speed = distance/time

From 1 to 9 seconds:

Distance covered = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8 km

Time = 9 - 1 = 8 sec

Average speed = 0.8 km / 8 sec

Average speed = 0.1 km/s .

The average speed for the whole test is 1.6 km / 20 sec = 0.08 km/sec. A graph of speed vs time would average out as a horizontal line at 0.08 km/sec from 1 sec to 21 sec. The area under it would be (0.08 km/s) x (20 sec) = 1.6 km.

Surprise surprise ! The area under a speed/time graph is the distance covered during that time !

In closing, I want to express my gratitude for the gracious bounty of 3 points with which I have been showered. Moreover, the green breadcrust and tepid cloudy water have also been refreshing.

Which of the following statements about energy is true? I. Kinetic energy cannot be transformed into another type of energy. II.
Mashcka [7]

Answer: B. II and III only

Explanation:

Let’s begin by explianing what energy is: the ability of matter to produce work in the form of movement, light, heat, among others. In this sense, there are several types of energy, but we will talk especifically in this case about <u>kinetic energy</u> and <u>potential energy</u>.

<u>Kinetic energy </u>is the energy an object or body has due to its movement and depends on the mass and velocity of the object or body.

To understande it better: If an object is at rest, its velocity is null and it does not have kinetic energy, however, if the object is moving, then it has kinetic energy.

On the other hand, <u>Potential energy</u> is known as <em>“stored energy”</em> that has the potential to be converted into energy of motion (kinetic energy) or another type of energy (thermal energy, for example). In addition, this energy is related to the work done when a certain force moves an object or body from its natural resting state along a distance to a new position.

So, according to this, Kinetic energy can be transformed into potential energy and Potential energy can be transformed into kinetic energy or any other type of energy. Hence, options II and III are correct.

If the angle of incidence of a light source to a shiny surface is 30 degrees, what will the angle
Virty [35]
<h3>Answer: D) 30</h3>

Angle of incidence always equals angle of reflection. Think of a tennis ball being hit into a wall. The ball will bounce off at the same angle that it approached with. The angles mentioned are formed through the line called the "normal", which is the line perpendicular to the surface.
