Answer:
Time = 80.91 seconds
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Velocity = 5.50 m/s.
Distance = 445 meters
To find the time;
Velocity can be defined as the rate of change in displacement (distance) with time. Velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.
Mathematically, velocity is given by the equation;
Substituting into the formula, we have;
5.5 = 445/time
Time = 445/5.5
Time = 80.91 seconds
Answer:
(a) 3.807 s
(b) 145.581 m
Explanation:
Let Δt = t2 - t1 be the time it takes from the moment when the motorcycle starts to accelerate until it catches up with the car. We know that before the acceleration, both vehicles are travelling at a constant speed. So they would maintain a distance of 58 m prior to the acceleration.
The distance traveled by car after Δt (seconds) at speed is
The distance traveled by the motorcycle after Δt (seconds) at speed and acceleration of a = 8 m/s2 is
We know that the motorcycle catches up to the car after Δt, so it must have covered the distance that the car travels, plus their initial distance:
(b)
