You observe two cars traveling in the same direction on a long, straight section of Highway 5. The red car is moving at a consta

nt vR equal to 34 m/s and the blue car is moving at constant vB equal to 28 m/s. At the moment you fist see them, the blue car is 29.0 m ahead of the red car.
Required:
a. How long after you first see the cars does the red car catch up to the blue car?
b. How far did the red car travel between when you fist saw it and when it caught up to the blue car?
c. Suppose the red car started to accelerate at a rate of a equal to 5/3 m/s^2 just at the moment you saw the cars.
d. How long after that would the red car catch up to the blue car?

Answer:

a) 3.66 s

b) 124.4 m

c) 3.12s

Explanation:

Given that

Speed of the Red Car, v₁ = 34 m/s

Speed of the Blue Car, v₂ = 28 m/s

Distance between the two cars, d = 22 m

The difference between the speed of the cars is: 34 - 28 = 6 m/s

From this, we can deduce that the red car will be catching up to the blue car at a speed of 6 m/s.

1)

If we divide the distance by the difference in speed. This becomes

d/v = 22/6 = 3.66 s. Which means, It takes 3.66 seconds for the red car to meet up with the blue car.

2

From the previous part, we were able to confirm that it took 3.66 seconds for the red car to meet up the blue car. Also, the speed with which it were traveling was travelling at, was constant, so we only need to multiply it by the time from (1) to get the distance.

v = d * t = 34 * 3.66 = 124.4

Therefore the red car travels at 124.4 m before catching up to the blue car.

3

If the red car starts to accelerate the moment we see it, the time it will take, to get to the blue car will be less than what we had gotten. We can find this using one of the equations of motion.

S = ut + ½gt², where

S = 22

u = 6

t = ?

g = 2/3

22 = 6t + 1/3t²

By using the quadratic formula, we find out the two answers listed below

t1 = 3.12 s

t2 = - 21.12 s

We all know that negative time is not possible, so the answer is t1. At 3.12 seconds

Answer:

The speed with which the man flies forward is 5.5 m/s

Explanation:

The mass of the man = 100 kg

The mass of the scooter = 10 kg

The speed with which the man was traveling on the scooter = 5 m/s

The speed of the scooter after it hits the rock = 0 m/s

Let v represent the speed with which the man flies forward

The formula for momentum, P, is P = Mass × Velocity

The conservation of linear momentum principle is, the total initial momentum = The total final momentum, therefore, we have;

The total initial momentum = (100 kg + 10 kg) × 5 m/s = 550 kg·m/s

The total final momentum = 100 kg × v + 10 kg × 0 m/s = 100 kg × v

When the momentum is conserved, we have;

550 kg·m/s = 100 kg × v

∴ v = 550 kg·m/s/(100 kg) = 5.5 m/s.

The speed with which the man flies forward = v = 5.5 m/s

Which scientist described an atom made of a solid positively charged substance with electrons dispersed throughout it?.
swat32

The scientist that described an atom made a solid positively charged substance with electrons dispersed throughout it was: Ernest Rutherford

In 1911 Ernest Rutherford proposed his atomic model in which he considered the atom as a positively, densely charged center called a nucleus in which the electrons circulate around the core with a negative charge.

<h3>What is an atom?</h3>

The atom is the smallest part of the composition of matter, it is indivisible and is composed of a nucleus that has protons and neutrons, and around the nucleus there are the electrons.

A block, M1=10kg, slides down a smooth, curved incline of height 5m. It collides elastically with another block, M2=5kg, which i
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

2.86 m

Explanation:

Given:

M₁ = 10 kg

M₂ = 5 kg

\mu_k = 0.5

height, h = 5 m

distance traveled, s = 2 m

spring constant, k = 250 N/m

now,

the initial velocity of the first block as it approaches the second block

u₁ = √(2 × g × h)

or

u₁ = √(2 × 9.8 × 5)

or

u₁ = 9.89 m/s

let the velocity of second ball be v₂

now from the conservation of momentum, we have

M₁ × u₁ = M₂ × v₂

on substituting the values, we get

10 × 9.89 = 5 × v₂

or

v₂ = 19.79 m/s

now,

let the velocity of mass 2 when it reaches the spring be v₃

from the work energy theorem,  we have

Work done by the friction force = change in kinetic energy of the mass 2

or

0.5\times5\times9.8\times2 = \frac{1}{2}\times5\times( v_3^2-19.79^2)

or

v₃ = 20.27 m/s

now, let the spring is compressed by the distance 'x'

therefore, from the conservation of energy

we have

Energy of the spring =  Kinetic energy of the mass 2

or

\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}mv_3^2

on substituting the values, we get

\frac{1}{2}\times250\times x^2=\frac{1}{2}\times5\times20.27^2

or

x = 2.86 m
