The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Cars A nad B are racing each other along the same straight road in the following manner: Car A has a head start and is a distance D_{A} beyond the starting line at t = 0. The starting line is at x = 0. Car A travels at a constant speed v_{A}. Car B starts at the starting line but has a better engine than Car A and thus Car B travels at a constant speed v_{B}, which is greater than v_{A}.

Part A: How long after Car B started the race will Car B catch up with Car A? Express the time in terms of given quantities.

Part B: How far from Car B's starting line will the cars be when Car B passes Car A? Express your answer in terms of known quantities.

Answer: Part A: t=\frac{D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}

              Part B: x_{B}=\frac{v_{B}D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}

Explanation: First, let's write an equation of motion for each car.

Both cars travels with constant speed. So, they are an uniform rectilinear motion and its position equation is of the form:

x=x_{0}+vt

where

x_{0} is initial position

v is velocity

t is time

Car A started the race at a distance. So at t = 0, initial position is D_{A}.

The equation will be:

x_{A}=D_{A}+v_{A}t

Car B started at the starting line. So, its equation is

x_{B}=v_{B}t

Part A: When they meet, both car are at "the same position":

D_{A}+v_{A}t=v_{B}t

v_{B}t-v_{A}t=D_{A}

t(v_{B}-v_{A})=D_{A}

t=\frac{D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}

Car B meet with Car A after t=\frac{D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}} units of time.

Part B: With the meeting time, we can determine the position they will be:

x_{B}=v_{B}(\frac{D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}} )

x_{B}=\frac{v_{B}D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}

Since Car B started at the starting line, the distance Car B will be when it passes Car A is x_{B}=\frac{v_{B}D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}} units of distance.

A generator produces 38 mwmw of power and sends it to town at an rms voltage of 78 kvkv. part a what is the rms current in the t
4vir4ik [10]

The rms current in the transmission lines is I = 487.18 A.

The root-imply-rectangular (rms) voltage of a sinusoidal supply of electromotive force  is used to represent the source. it is the rectangular root of the time average of the voltage squared.

Alternating-present day circuits. the root-imply-square (rms) voltage of a sinusoidal source of electromotive force is used to symbolize the supply. it's far the square root of the time average of the voltage squared.

Electric power is  by using present day or the waft of electric fee and voltage or the capacity of rate to deliver electricity. A given cost of power can be produced by using any combination of contemporary and voltage values

power = 38 M watt

rms voltage = 78 K v

power = IV

I = power/V

I = (38 * 1000000)/78*1000

I = 487.18 A.
