Constant Acceleration Kinematics: Car A is traveling at 22.0 m/s and car B at 29.0 m/s. Car A is 300 m behind car B when the dri

ver of car A accelerates his car with a uniform forward acceleration of 2.40 m/s2. How long after car A begins to accelerate does it take car A to overtake car B?

Answer:

The taken is  t_A  = 19.0 \ s

Explanation:

Frm the question we are told that

  The speed of car A is  v_A  =  22 \ m/s

   The speed of car B is  v_B  = 29.0 \ m/s

     The distance of car B  from A is  d = 300 \ m

     The acceleration of car A is  a_A  = 2.40 \ m/s^2

For A to overtake B

    The distance traveled by car B  =  The distance traveled by car A - 300m

Now the this distance traveled by car B before it is overtaken by A is  

          d = v_B * t_A

Where t_B is the time taken by car B

Now this can also be represented as using equation of motion as

      d = v_A t_A  + \frac{1}{2}a_A t_A^2 - 300

Now substituting values

       d = 22t_A  + \frac{1}{2} (2.40)^2 t_A^2 - 300

Equating the both d

       v_B * t_A = 22t_A  + \frac{1}{2} (2.40)^2 t_A^2 - 300

substituting values

   29 * t_A = 22t_A  + \frac{1}{2} (2.40)^2 t_A^2 - 300

   7 t_A = \frac{1}{2} (2.40)^2 t_A^2 - 300

  7 t_A =1.2 t_A^2 - 300

   1.2 t_A^2 - 7 t_A - 300  = 0

Solving this using quadratic formula we have that

     t_A  = 19.0 \ s

A ball rolls for 8 seconds and travels 24 meters. How fast was it traveling?
belka [17]

Answer:

The speed of the ball was, v = 3 m/s

Explanation:

Given data,

The time period of the ball, t = 8 s

The distance the ball rolled, d = 24 m

The velocity of an object is defined as the object's displacement to the time taken. The formula for the velocity is,

                              v = d / t      m/s

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

                               v = 24 / 8

                                  = 3 m/s

Hence, the speed of the ball was, v = 3 m/s

When the ratio of two variables is constant, their relationship can be described as?           
djyliett [7]
<span>When the ratio of two variables is constant, then the two variables are directly proportional. If all other variables are held constant, the magnitude or absolute value of one inversely proportional variable decreases if the other variable increases, while their product is always the same.</span>
