A motorist traveling with a constant speed of 15 m/s (about 34 mi/h) passes a school-crossing corner, where the speed limit is 0

m/s (about 22 mi/h). Just as the motorist passes, a police officer on a motorcycle stopped at the comer starts off in pursuit with constant acceleration of 3.0 m/S2. (a) How much time elapses before the officer catches up with the motorist? (b) What is the officer's speed at that point? (c) What is the total distance each vehicle has traveled at that point? Please help me

Answer:

(a) 10 s

(b) 30 m/s

(c) 150 m

Explanation:

The motorist's position at time t is:

x = 15t

The officer's position at time t is:

x = ½ (3) t² = 1.5 t²

(a) When they have the same position, the time is:

15t = 1.5 t²

t = 0 or 10 s

(b) The officer's speed is:

v = 3t

v = 30 m/s

(c) The position is:

x = 15t = 150 m

A uniform ladder 5.0 m long rests against a frictionless, vertical wall with its lower end 3.0 m from the wall. The ladder weigh

DiKsa [7]

Answer:(a)360N,(b)171N,(c)2.702m

Explanation:

(a)Maximum Friction Force = $\mu \left ( N\right )=0.4\times \left ( 740+160\right )$

=360 N

$cos\theta =\frac{3}{5}$

$sin\theta =\frac{4}{5}$

(b)Moment about Ground Point

$740\times 1\times cos\theta +2.5\times 160\times cos\theta -N_15sin\theta$

$N_1tan\theta =1140$

$N_1=171 N$

$N_1=f=171 N$

(c)

$740\times x\times cos\theta +2.5\times 160\times cos\theta -N_15sin\theta$

Here maximum friction force can be 360 N

Therefore $N_1=360 N$

Where x is the maximum distance moved by man along the ladder

$360\times 5\times \frac{4}{3}=740x+160\times 2.5$

740x=2000

x=2.702m

The velocity of a particle moving along the x-axis varies with time according to v(t) = A + Bt−1 , where A = 2 m/s, B = 0.25 m,

kondaur [170]

Answer:

$a= -2\ m/s^2$

$a=-12.5\ m/s^2$

x=2.17 m

x=8.4 m

Explanation:

Given that

$v=A+Bt^{-1}$

$v=2+0.25t^{-1}$

To find acceleration :

we know that

$a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}$

$\dfrac{dv}{dt}=0-0.5t^{-2}$

$a=-0.5t^{-2}$

Acceleration at t= 2 s

$a=-0.5\times 2^{-2}$

$a= -2\ m/s^2$

Acceleration at t= 5 s

$a=-0.5\times 5^{-2}$

$a=-12.5\ m/s^2$

We know that

$v=\dfrac{dx}{dt}$

$dx=\left(2+\dfrac{1}{4t}\right)dt$

Position at t= 2 s:

$\int_{0}^{x}dx=\int_{1}^{2} \left(2+0.25\dfrac{1}{t}\right)dt$

$x=\left [2t+0.25\ lnt \right ]_{1}^{2}$

x=2+0.25 ln2

x=2.17 m

Position at t= 5 s:

$\int_{0}^{x}dx=\int_{1}^{5} \left(2+0.25\dfrac{1}{t}\right)dt$

$x=\left [2t+0.25\ lnt \right ]_{1}^{5}$

x=8+0.25 ln5

x=8.4 m

When a 12 V battery is connected to a 6 uF capacitor, how much energy is stored

adoni [48]

The energy stored in a capacitor is

E = (1/2) · (capacitance) · (voltage)²

E = (1/2) · (6 x 10⁻⁶ F) · (12 V)²

E = (3 x 10⁻⁶ F) · (144 V²)

<em>E = 4.32 x 10⁻⁴ Joule</em>

(That's 0.000432 of a Joule)

An electron starts from rest in a vacuum, in a region of strong electric field. The electron moves through a potential differenc

Semenov [28]

Answer:

The kinetic energy is $KE = 5.67*10^{-18} \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The potential difference is $\Delta V = 36 \ volts$

The potential energy of the end is mathematically represented as

$PEs = - q * \Delta V$

q is the charge on an electron with a constant value of $q = 1.60 *10^{-19} \ C$

substituting values

$PE = - 1.60*10^{-19} * 36$

$PE = - 5.67*10^{- 18} \ J$

Now from the law of energy conservation

The $PE_e = KEe$

Where $KE _e$ is the potential energy at the end

So

$KE = 5.67*10^{-18} \ J$

The negative sign is not includes because kinetic energy can not be negative
