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.

Considering the various theories, the energy used in forming organic molecules in the primitive atmosphere could have come from
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

<h2>e. sound. </h2>

Explanation:

  • Such type of atmosphere in which oxygen was not present or was present in little amount is known as the primitive atmosphere and such type of atmosphere was present in the initial stage of the earth formation.
  • During this period, water vapor, nitrogen, hydrogen and carbon dioxide gases were present.
  • These gases interact with the help of energy that comes from many sources such as lightning, ultraviolet radiation, electric spark and some other.
  • When these inorganic molecules react in the then the formation of organic compounds takes place that becomes the basis of the organization of the life on the earth and called an organic evolution of life.
