While entering a freeway, a car accelerates from rest at a rate of 2.40 m/s2 for 12.0 s. (a) Draw a sketch of the situation. (b)

List the knowns in this problem. (c) How far does the car travel in those 12.0 s? To solve this part, first identify the unknown, then indicate how you chose the appropriate equation to solve for it. After choosing the equation, show your steps in solving for the unknown, check your units, and discuss whether the answer is reasonable. (d) What is the car’s final velocity? Solve for this unknown in the same manner as in (c), showing all steps explicitly

Answer:

a) See attached picture, b) We know the initial velocity = 0, initial position=0, time=12.0s, acceleration=2.40m/s^{2}, c) the car travels 172.8m in those 12 seconds, d) The car's final velocity is 28.8m/s

Explanation:

a) In order to draw a sketch of the situation, I must include the data I know, the data I would like to know and a drawing of the car including the direction of the movement and its acceleration, just like in the attached picture.

b) From the information given by the problem I know:

initial velocity =0

acceleration = 2.40m/s^{2}

time = 12.0 s

initial position = 0

c)

unknown:

displacement.

in order to choose the appropriate equation, I must take the knowns and the unknown and look for a formula I can use to solve for the unknown. I know the initial velocity, initial position, time, acceleration and I want to find out the displacement. The formula that contains all this data is the following:

x=x_{0}+V_{x0}t+\frac{1}{2}a_{x}t^{2}

Once I got the equation I need to find the displacement, I can plug the known values in, like this:

x=0+0(12s)+\frac{1}{2}(2.40\frac{m}{s^{2}} )(12s)^{2}

after cancelling the pertinent units, I get that  my answer will be given in meters. So I get:

x=\frac{1}{2} (2.40\frac{m}{s^{2}} )(12s)^{2}

which solves to:

x=172.8m

So the displacement of the car in 12 seconds is 172.8m, which makes sense taking into account that it will be accelerating for 12 seconds and each second its velocity will increase by 2.4m/s.

d) So, like the previous part of the problem, I know the initial position of the car, the time it travels, the initial velocity and its acceleration. Now I also know what its final position is, so we have more than enough information to find this answer out.

I need to find the final velocity, so I need to use an equation that will use some or all of the known data and the unknown. In order to solve this problem, I can use the following equation:

a=\frac{V_{f}-V_{0} }{t}

Next, since I need to find the final velocity, I can solve the equation just for that, I can start by multiplying both sides by t so I get:

at=V_{f}-V_{0}

and finally I can add V_{0} to both sides so I get:

V_{f}=at+V_{0}

and now I can proceed and substitute the known values:

V_{f}=at+V_{0}

V_{f}=(2.40\frac{m}{s^{2}}} (12s)+0

which solves to:

V_{f}=28.8m/s

Answer:

Explanation:

initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

acceleration, a = 2.4 m/s^2

time, t = 12 s

(a) Diagram is attached

(b) The unknown variables are distance traveled s and the final velocity v.

(c) Use second equation of motion

s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

s = 0 x 12 + 0.5 x 2.4 x 12 x 12

s = 172.8 m

thus, the distance traveled is 172.8 m.

(d) Use first equation of motion

v = u + at

v = 0 + 2.4 x 12

v = 28.8 m/s

Thus, the final velocity of the car is 28.8 m/s.

Why doesn’t change in a substance during a physical change?
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

there is no change because a physical change only changes the physical appearance of a substance

Explanation:

a chemical change is the only change that can change a substance since it changes the chemical properties of the substance, hence making a new substance

The increase in volume of matter that occurs when matter is heated. a) Contraction b) Expansion c) kinetic energy d) Volume
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

b) Expansion

Explanation:

In science, matter can be defined as anything that has mass and occupies space. Any physical object that is found on earth is typically composed of matter. Matter are known to be made up of atoms and as a result has the property of existing in states.

Generally, matter exists in three (3) distinct or classical phases and these are; solid, liquid and gas.

A physical change can be defined as a type of change that involves an increase or decrease in the volume of a physical object (object). Also, this change can be reversed to the original state under certain conditions.

The increase in volume of matter that occurs when matter is heated causes an expansion.

This ultimately implies that, when a physical object (matter) is heated for a specific period of time, it result in an increase in the volume of the object; this phenomenon is generally referred to as expansion.

On the other hand, a decrease in volume of a physical object (matter) as a result of heat is known as contraction.

When two systems in contact are not at the same temperature, _____ occurs.expansionheat flowfrictionevaporation
Murljashka [212]

Heat flow occurs when two systems in contact are not at the same temperature.

What is heat flow?

  • when two bodies of different temperatures are in contact, heat flow takes place.
  • Heat flows till the two bodies in contact achieve equilibrium.
  • To achieve equilibrium, heat flows from hotter bodies to colder bodies.
  • There is no heat flow after achieving the state of equilibrium because the amount of heat flow from one body to the other is the same.
