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>

While playing a video game on your laptop, the laptop gets very hot. Which Thermodynamics Law does this exemplify?
Ksivusya [100]

Answer

The dedicated graphics card is used when performing hardware-intensive tasks so as to ensure efficiency and balanced performance. However, it uses more power and thus produces more heat. When the cooling system is not sufficient or the room is not well ventilated, your PC begins to overheat while playing games.     Explanation: How does the second law of thermodynamics relate to the direction of heat flow? Heat of itself never flows from a cold object to a hot object. ... The second law expresses the maximum efficiency of a heat engine in terms of hot and cold temperatures. one of these answers i am not sure

What does the electric field strength tell about the electric firld?
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The region around a charged particle where another charged particle experiences a force of attraction or repulsion is called electric field.

The strength of electric field is defined as the force experienced by the unit positive test charge.

E = F / q

Electric field strength is a vector quantity and it is measured in newton per coulomb.

Where, F is the force of attraction or repulsion between the two charges and q is the test charge on which the electric field strength is to be calculated.

The strength of electric field is more if the field is strong. It means more be the electric field strength at a point more be the electric field.
