A speeding car has a velocity of 80 mph; suddenly it passes a cop car but does not stop. When the speeding car passes the cop ca

r, the cop immediately accelerates his vehicle from 0 to 90 mph in 4.5 seconds. The cop car has a maximum velocity of 90 mph. At what time does the cop car meet the speeding car and at what distance?

Answer:

Distance= 4 miles

Time = 36.3 seconds

Explanation:

80 mph = 178.95 m/s

90 mph = 201.32 m/s

V = u +at

201.32= 0+a(4.5)

201.32/4.5= a

44.738 m/s² = a

Acceleration of the cop car

= 44.738 m/s²

Distance traveled at 4.5seconds

For the cop car

S= ut + ½at²

S= 0(4.5) + ½*44.738*4.5

S= 100.66 meters

Distance traveled at 4.5seconds

For the speeding car

4.5*178.95=805.275

The cop car will still cover 704.675 +x distance while the speeding car covers for their distance to be equal

X/178.95= (704.675+x)/201.32

X-0.89x= 626.37

0.11x= 626.37

X= 5694.3 meters

The time = 5694.3/178.95

Time =31.8 seconds

So the distance they meet

= 5694.3+805.275

= 6499.575 meters

= 4.0 miles

The Time = 4.5+31.8

Time = 36.3 seconds

olasank [31]

The best responses to the statements are:

a. the current decreased.

b. The Same.

c. 2.5.

d. 0.25.

<h3>What is resistance?</h3>

In an electrical circuit, resistance is a measure of the resistance to current flow.

The Greek letter omega is used to represent resistance in ohms.

The resistance is inversely proportional to the current.

Thus, the correct options are a. the current decreased.

b. The Same.

c. 2.5.

d. 0.25.

A coaxial cable carries a current I =0.02A through a wire of radius Rw=.2mmin one direction and an identical current through the
Anna [14]

Answer:

a)  B = 10⁻¹ r , b)  B = 4 10⁻⁹ / r , c) B=0

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Ampere's law

            ∫ B. ds = μ₀ I

Where I is the current locked in the path. Let's take a closed path as a circle

          ds = 2π dr

          B 2π r = μ₀ I

          B = μ₀ I / 2μ₀ r

Let's analyze several cases

a) r <Rw

Since the radius of the circumference is less than that of the wire, the current is less, let's use the concept of current density

          j = I / A

For this case

         j = I /π Rw² = I’/π r²

         I’= I r² / Rw²

The magnetic field is

        B = (μ₀/ 2π) r²/Rw²   1 / r

        B = (μ₀ / 2π) r / Rw²

calculate

        B = 4π 10⁻⁷ /2π   r / 0.002²

        B = 10⁻¹ r

b) in field  between   Rw <r <Rs

In this case the current enclosed in the total current

      I = 0.02 A

      B = μ₀/ 2π   I / r

      B = 4π 10⁻⁷ / 2π  0.02 / r

      B = 4 10⁻⁹ / r

c) the field outside the coaxial Rs <r

In this case the waxed current is zero, so

       B = 0

How does the scientific meaning of the words work, energy, force and efficiency compare to their every day meaning? State the si
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Force

If you're taking classical physics, simply stated, a force is a push or a pull of some sort. But there is one other very important thing to understand about Force. A true Force is always an interaction (at least from a classical perspective). That means that forces always come in pairs. This is stated in Newton's Third Law (equal and opposite forces). Every action must have a reaction. This is required for all true forces. Another consequence of this is that force is a vector, meaning it has a magnitude and a direction. The action and reaction will always be opposite in direction.

A lot of people will say F=ma. This is true. However, it is important to keep in mind that this definition is a calculational tool. It is more precise to say the Sum of all forces=ma. The point is that ma is not a force. Forces are things like weight, tension, normal, friction, gravity, electrostatic, magnetic, and various other applied forces. The sum of forces on an object equals the product of its mass times its acceleration.

It is important to keep in mind that the force is on the object that accelerates. Another way to state this is that objects cannot accelerate themselves. You cannot push yourself back (or forwards). But if you push a heavy object like a desk forwards, then the desk can push you back.

Energy

There are many kinds of energy. There are two important things to know.

Energy is the ability to do work. It doesn't mean work is being done, but that work can be done. (So you can see there is an intimate relationship between work and energy).

Energy is conserved. That means the total amount of energy is always constant. If the energy is a system changes somehow, that means some work was done in order to move the energy from one system to another.

Energy is also a scalar (given that Work is a scalar).
