In the Daytona 500 auto race, a Ford Thunderbird and a Mercedes Benz are moving side by side down a straightaway at 71.0 m/s. Th

e driver of the Thunderbird realizes that she must make a pit stop, and she smoothly slows to a stop over a distance of 250 m. She spends 5.00 s in the pit and then accelerates out, reaching her previous speed of 71.0 m/s after a distance of 370 m. At this point how far has the Thunderbird fallen behind the Mercedes Benz, which has continued at a constant speed?

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Thunderbird is 995.157 meters behind the Mercedes</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

It is given that all the cars were moving at a speed of 71 m/s when the driver of Thunderbird  decided to take a pit stop and slows down for 250 m. She spent 5 seconds  in the pit stop.

Here final velocity v=0 \ m/s

initial velocity u= 71 m/s  distance  

Distance covered in the slowing down phase = 250 m

v^2-u^2=2as

a= \frac {(v^2-u^2)}{2s}

a = \frac {(0^2-71^2)}{(2 \times 250)}=-10.082 \ m/s^2

v=u+at

t= \frac {(v-u)}{a}

= \frac {(0-71)}{(-10.082)}=7.042 s

t_1=7.042 s

The car is in the pit stop for 5s t_2=5 s

After restart it accelerates for 350 m to reach the earlier velocity 71 m/s

a= \frac {(v^2-u^2)}{(2\times s)} = \frac{(71^2-0^2)}{(2 \times 370)} =6.81 \ m/s^2

v=u+at

t= \frac{(v-u)}{a}

t= \frac{(71-0)}{6.81}= 10.425 s

t_3=10.425 s

total time= t_1 +t_2+t_3=7.042+5+10.425=22.467 s

Distance covered by the Mercedes Benz during this time is given by s=vt=71 \times 22.467= 1595.157 m

Distance covered by the Thunderbird during this time=250+350=600 m

Difference between distance covered by the Mercedes  and Thunderbird

= 1595.157-600=995.157 m

Thus the Mercedes is 995.157 m ahead of the Thunderbird.

kompoz [17]

Explanation:

If the intensity of the yellow light increased, meaning more photons will strike the Potassium metal per unit area. This will cause more ejection of electrons from the metal and hence, the strength of current will also increase as we know that

I = Q/t, as the charge increase , the current will also increase.

our iclicker operates at a frequency of approximately 900 mhz (900x106 hz). what is the approximate wavelength of the em wave pr
Elena-2011 [213]

wavelength of the EM  wave produced by your iclicker is 0.33 m.

<h3>What makes an EM wave?</h3>
  • When an electric field (illustrated in red arrows) combines with a magnetic field, electromagnetic waves are generated (which is shown in blue arrows). An electromagnetic wave's magnetic and electric fields are perpendicular to each other and to the wave's direction.
  • A changing magnetic field causes a changing electric field, and vice versa—the two are inextricably related. Electromagnetic waves are created by changing fields. Electromagnetic waves, unlike mechanical waves, do not require a medium to propagate.

The clicker emits EM (electromagnetic) wave which travels at the speed of light, that is

v = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

The frequency is

f = 900mHz = 9 x 10⁸ Hz

velocity = frequency * wavelength, the wavelength, λ,  is given by

fλ = v

λ = v/f

  = (3 x 10⁸ m/s) / (9 x 10⁸ 1/s)

  = 1/3 m = 0.333 m
