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

An office window has dimensions 3.1 m by 2.1 m. As a result of the passage of a storm, the outside air pressure drops to 0.954 a
Virty [35]

Answer:

Net forces which pushes the window is 30342.78 N.

Explanation:

Given:

Dimension of the office window.

Length of the window = 3.1 m

Width of the window = 2.1 m

Area of the window = (3.1\times 2.1) = 6.51\ m^2

Difference in air pressure = Inside pressure - Outside pressure

                                           = (1.0-0.954) atm = 0.046 atm

Conversion of the pressure in its SI unit.

⇒  1 atm = 101325 Pa

⇒ 0.046 atm = 0.046\times 101325 =4660.95 Pa

We have to find the net force.

We know,

⇒ Pressure = Force/Area

⇒ Pressure=\frac{Force }{Area}

⇒ Force =Pressure\times Area

⇒ Plugging the values.

⇒ Force =4660.95\times 6.51

⇒ Force=30342.78 Newton (N)

So,

The net forces which pushes the window is 30342.78 N.

David is investigating the properties of soil using the sample shown.
xenn [34]

Although the sample is not shown in this question, we can conclude that it would be reasonably easy for David to provide evidence of the color, consistency, temperature, and texture of the soil.

<h3 />

<h3>What are these properties an example of?</h3>

These are all examples of the physical properties of a sample. Since we cannot see the sample that David is using, it would be safest to assume that he would have no trouble providing evidence as to the physical properties of the soil, the:

  • Color
  • Consistency
  • Temperature
  • Texture

are all examples of this.

Therefore, we can confirm that David can provide evidence of the color, consistency, temperature, and texture of the soil.

what has more momentum, a baseball traveling at 4 m/s or a baseball traveling at 16m/s ? and which has more energy ?
Anna007 [38]
We know the formulas for momentum and energy. But they both involve the mass of
the object, and we don't know the mass of the baseball.  What can we do ?

It's not a catastrophe.  The question only asks which one is bigger.  If we're clever,
we can answer that without ever knowing how much the momentum or the energy
actually is.  We know that both baseballs have the same mass, so let's just call it
' M ' and not worry about what it really is.

<u>Momentum of anything = (mass) x (speed)</u>
Momentum of the first baseball = (M) x (4 m/s) = 4M
Momentum of the second one = (M) x (16 m/s) = 16M
The second baseball has 4 times as much momentum as the first one has.

<u>Kinetic energy of anything = 1/2 (mass) x (speed squared)</u>
KE of the first baseball = 1/2 (M) x (4 squared) = 8M
KE of the second one = 1/2 (M) x (16 squared) = 128M
The second baseball has 16 times as much kinetic energy as the first one has.
