Determine the time required for a car to travel 1 km along a road if the car starts from rest, reaches a maximum speed at some i

ntermediate point, and then stops at the end of the road. The car can accelerate at 1.5 m/s2 and decelerate at 2 m/s2. ​

Total time taken by car to travel 1 km distance is 48.2 seconds

Explanation:

Given data-

Total distance- 1 km= 1000m

Car starts from rest- Hence the initial velocity (u)= 0 m/s

Then, car accelerates at 1.5 m/s ²

Let us suppose with these acceleration car reaches the max speed of V

Car then decelerates at rate of 2 m/s ²

Finally, car comes to rest

We need to consider the question in two parts

Part 1= when car starts from rest and reaches the value V in the time tₐ at the distance s₁.

Part 2= When car starts from V and finally stops at 1 km mark in the time tₙ in distance 1000-s₁.

For the part 1

We know the formula  

v= u + a*tₐ

where v= final velocity

u- initial velocity

a= acceleration

tₐ= time period

At the starting u= 0  

Hence the equation reduces to V=0+1.5tₐ

Or V= 1.5tₐ                             Eq 1

We also know that s= u*tₐ+ ¹/₂*a*tₐ²

Where s₁= distance covered  (other symbols same meaning)

Since u=0   (u*tₐ=0)

s₁ = ¹/₂*1.5*tₐ²

s₁= ½* 1.5*tₐ²                    -------------Eq 2

Now considering Part 2

Here the case is deceleration hence the equation would change (symbols same)

v= V-a*tₙ     final velocity(v)=0 (car stops finally) & initial velocity (part 2)= V

V= a*tₙ

V=2*tₙ                                 -----------Eq 3

Similarly  

1000-s₁= V* tₙ+¹/₂*(-2) *(tₙ)²

1000-s₁= V* tₙ-tₙ²                      -------Eq 4

Comparing Eq 1 and Eq 3

V= 1.5tₐ  and V=2tₙ                                                              

1.5tₐ = 2 tₙ

tₐ=1.33 tₙ  

Using the above value of tₐ in Eq 1

V= 1.5 tₐ and tₐ= 1.33 tₙ

V= 2tₙ

Similarly from Eq 2 and putting the value of tₙ

s₁= ½*1.5*tₐ²      

s₁=  1.33*(tₙ)²

Substituting the above values in equation 4

1000-s₁= V* tₙ-tₙ²                      

1000- 1.33(tₙ)²=2*(tₙ)*(tₙ)- tₙ²

1000=2.33 (tₙ)²

tₙ=      1000/2.333    

tₙ= 20.7 sec

Similarly putting the value of tₙ in tₐ= 1.33 tₙ

tₙ= 27.5 sec

Hence total time is tₐ +tₙ  

T= 20.7+27.5= 48.2 sec

Five hundred gallons of 89-octane gasoline is obtained by mixing 87-octane gasoline with 92-octane gasoline. (a) Write a system
miskamm [114]

Explanation:

a) The total volume equals the sum of the volumes.

500 = x + y

The total octane amount equals the sum of the octane amounts.

89(500) = 87x + 92y

44500 = 87x + 92y

b) desmos.com/calculator/ekegkzllqx

As x increases, y decreases.

c) Use substitution or elimination to solve the system of equations.

44500 = 87x + 92(500−x)

44500 = 87x + 46000 − 92x

5x = 1500

x = 300

y = 200

The required volumes are 300 gallons of 87 gasoline and 200 gallons of 92 gasoline.

A 4-L pressure cooker has an operating pressure of 175 kPa. Initially, one-half of the volume is filled with liquid and the othe
vodomira [7]

Answer:

the highest rate of heat transfer allowed is 0.9306 kW

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Volume = 4L = 0.004 m³

V_f = V_g = 0.002 m³

Using Table ( saturated water - pressure table);

at pressure p = 175 kPa;

v_f = 0.001057 m³/kg

v_g = 1.0037 m³/kg

u_f = 486.82 kJ/kg

u_g 2524.5 kJ/kg

h_g = 2700.2 kJ/kg

So the initial mass of the water;

m₁ = V_f/v_f + V_g/v_g

we substitute

m₁ = 0.002/0.001057  + 0.002/1.0037

m₁ = 1.89414 kg

Now, the final mass will be;

m₂ = V/v_g

m₂ = 0.004 / 1.0037

m₂ = 0.003985 kg

Now, mass leaving the pressure cooker is;

m_{out = m₁ - m₂

m_{out = 1.89414  - 0.003985

m_{out = 1.890155 kg

so, Initial internal energy will be;

U₁ = m_fu_f + m_gu_g

U₁ = (V_f/v_f)u_f  + (V_g/v_g)u_g

we substitute

U₁ = (0.002/0.001057)(486.82)  + (0.002/1.0037)(2524.5)

U₁ = 921.135288 + 5.030387

U₁ = 926.165675 kJ

Now, using Energy balance;

E_{in -  E_{out = ΔE_{sys

QΔt - m_{outh_{out = m₂u₂ - U₁

QΔt - m_{outh_g = m₂u_g - U₁

given that time = 75 min = 75 × 60s = 4500 sec

so we substitute

Q(4500) - ( 1.890155 × 2700.2 ) = ( 0.003985 × 2524.5 ) - 926.165675

Q(4500) - 5103.7965 = 10.06013 - 926.165675

Q(4500) = 10.06013 - 926.165675 + 5103.7965

Q(4500) = 4187.690955

Q = 4187.690955 / 4500

Q = 0.9306 kW

Therefore, the highest rate of heat transfer allowed is 0.9306 kW

Which system of linear inequalities is represented by the graph? y > x – 2 and y x + 1 y x + 1 y > x – 2 and y < x + 1
KatRina [158]

Answer:

The graph representing the linear inequalities is attached below.

Explanation:

The inequalities given are :

y>x-2   and y<x+1

For tables for values of x and y and get coordinates to plot for both equation.

In the first equation;

y>x-2

y=x-2

y-x = -2

The table will be :

x    y

-2  -4

-1    -3

0     -2

1      -1

2      0

The coordinates to plot are : (-2,-4) , (-1,-3), (0,-2), (1,-1) ,(2,0)

Use a dotted line and shade the part right hand side of the line.

Do the same for the second inequality equation and plot then shade the part satisfying the inequality.

The graph attached shows results.

Given frequency, what is the formula for the period of a wave?
Veronika [31]

Answer:

f = c / λ = wave speed c (m/s) / wavelength λ (m). The formula for time is: T (period) = 1 / f (frequency). λ = c / f = wave speed c (m/s) / frequency f (Hz). The unit hertz (Hz) was once called cps = cycles per second.
