A car starts from rest at a stop sign. It accelerates at 4.0 m/s^2 for 3 seconds, coasts for 2 s, and then slows down at a rate

of 3.0 m/s^2 for the next stop sign. Determine the distance between the two stop signs.

<u>Answer</u>

66m

<u>Explanation</u>
This question will involve the three linear equations
1st v=at+u
2nd s=ut+1/2at²
3rd v²=u²+2as

Distance for part 1
s=ut+1/2at²
  =0×3 + 1/2×4×3²
  = 18m

Distance for part 2
v=at+u
  =4×3 +0
  =12
distance = speed × time
              =12×2
              = 24m
Distance for part 3
v²=u²+2as
0=12²-2×3×s
144 = 6s

s = 144/6
   = 24

total distance = 18+24+24
                      = 66m

<span>FIRST SECTION You should use the formula for uniformly accelerated linear movement. Initial speed is 0 because it starts from rest. d=(1/2)*a*t^2+vo*t =(1/2)*(4.0 m/s^2)*(3s)^2+0*3s=(1/2)*(4.0 m/s^2)*3^2*s^2+0=2.0 m*9=18m You can calculate the final speed with the other formula: v=a*t+vo=(4.0 m/s^2)*(3s)+0=(4.0 m/s)*(3)=12m/s SECOND SECTION You should use the formula for uniform linear movement. Velocity is a constant: it remains in 12m/s. d=v*t=12m/s*2s=12m*2=24m THIRD SECTION We should use the same formulas as the first section, but with different numbers. Initial velocity will be 12m/s, and then velocity will start to decrease until it gets to 0. We don’t know what the time is for this section. Acceleration is negative, because it’s slowing down. v=a*t+vo 0=-3.0 m/s^2*t+12m/s 3.0 m/s^2*t=12m/s t=(12m/s)/(3.0 m/s^2)=4(1/s)/(1/s^2)=4s^2/s=4s Now let’s use that time in the other formula: d=(1/2)*a*t^2+vo*t =(1/2)*(-3.0 m/s^2)*(4s)^2+(12m/s)*3s=(-1.5 m/s^2)*4^2*s^2+12*3m*s/s=-1.5 m*4^2+36m=-1.5*16m+36m=-24m+36m=12m Now let’s add the 3 stages: d=18m+24m+12m=54m </span>

A beam oflight is reflected off a mirror. If the angle of incidence is 30 degrees, according to the Law of Reflection the angle
zaharov [31]

Answer:

30°

Explanation:

According to the second law of reflection, it States that the angle of incidence i is equal to the angle of reflection r.

The angle of incidence is known to be the angle between the incident ray and the normal.

The Angle of reflection is the angle between the reflected ray and the normal.

This normal ray is a ray that is perpendicular to the surface.

According to the question, if the beam of light is reflected off the surface and its angle of incidence is 30°, its angle of reflection will also be 30° i.e i=r = 30°

Pavel [41]

Answer: A.The ocean is colder than the land

Explanation:

Based on the information provided in the question, we are informed that Agustin visits Panama City, Florida, during the month of May and that he feels a shore breeze blowing from the ocean onto the beach.

The reason for the shore breeze is simply due to the fact that the ocean is colder than the land. Since the ocean is colder, anyone who goes to the beach will feel the breeze.

The force that probably propels the movement of the earth s gigantic rock plates is
il63 [147K]

The correct answer is:

c. convection.

The heating of magma and the continuous cycle of evolution of the magma creating a convection current is the reason for the evolution of Earths tectonic plates.

Explanation:

Tectonic plates are ready to move because the Earth's lithosphere has higher strength than the underlying asthenosphere. Lateral density changes in the mantle appear in convection. Plate movement is believed to be driven by a succession of the motion of the seafloor apart from the extended ridge (due to variations in topography and density of the crust.
