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>

An alternating current is set up in an LRC circuit.
Andreyy89

Answer:

(B) Resistor only

Explanation:

Alternating Current: These are currents that changes periodically with time.

An LRC  Ac circuit is an AC circuit that contains a Resistor, a capacitor and an inductor, connected in series.

In a purely resistive circuit, current and voltage are in phase.

In a purely capacitive circuit, the current leads  the voltage by π/2

In a purely inductive circuit, the current lags the voltage by π/2.

Therefore when a alternating current is set up in LRC circuit, in the resistor, the current and the voltage are in phase.

The right option is (B) Resistor only.

A tube of water is open on one end to the environment while the other end is closed. The height of the water relative to the bas
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

<em>1.06 atm</em>

Explanation:

On the open end of the tube, the pressure will be the sum of atmospheric pressure and the pressure due to the height of water

The pressure due to a height of water = ρgh

where ρ is the density of water = 1000 kg/m^3

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

h is the height of the water column

The height of water column on the open end = 100 cm = 1 m

pressure on this end = ρgh = 1000 x 9.81 x 1 = 9810 Pa

Atmospheric pressure = 101325 Pa

The total pressure on the open end =  101325 Pa + 9810 Pa = <em>111135 Pa</em>

The pressure due to the water column on the closed end = ρgh

The height of the water in the closed end = 40 cm = 0.4 m

The pressure due to this column of water = 1000 x 9.81 x 0.4 = <em>3924 Pa</em>

The resultant pressure on the water on the top of the closed end of the tube = 111135 Pa - 3924 Pa =<em> 107211 Pa</em>

In atm unit, this pressure = 107211/101325 = <em>1.06 atm</em>

The image shows the positions of a car on a roller coaster track. Arrange the cars in order based on their gravitational potenti
RideAnS [48]

Correct order, from lowest potential energy to highest potential energy:

E - C - D - B - A

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of the car is given by:

U=mgh

where

m is the car's mass

g is the gravitational acceleration

h is the height of the car relative to the ground

In the formula, we see that m and g are constant, so the potential energy of the car depends only on its height above the ground, h. The higher the car from the ground, the larger its potential energy. Therefore, the position with least potential energy will be E, since the height is the minimum. Then, C will have more potential energy, because the car is at higher position, and so on: the position with greatest potential energy is A, because the height of the car is maximum.
