David is driving a steady 28.0 m/s when he passes Tina, who is sitting in her car at rest. Tina begins to accelerate at a steady

2.90 m/s^2 at the instant when David passes.
Required:
a. How far does Tina drive before passing David?
b. What is her speed as she passes him?

Answer:

Explanation:

Let t represent the time for Tina to catch David.

Hence, considering the equation of linear motion S = ut + 1/2at^2..... 1

For David u = 28.0 m/s where 'a' is set to nought

S = ut

S = 28t.......2

For Tina consider equation 1

Where acceleration = 2.90m/s^2 and u is set at nought

S = 1/2×2.90 m/s×t^2.......3

Equate 2 and 3

28t = 1.45t^2

Divide through by t

28 = 1.45t

t = 28/1.45

t = 19.31seconds

Now put the value of t into equation 3

S = 1/2×2.90 m/s×t^2.......3

= 1.45×20×20

= 580m

Tina must have driven 580meters before passing David

Considering the equation of linear motion : V^2 = U^2+2as

Where u is set at nought

V^2 = 2as

V^2 = 2×2.9×580

V^2 = 3364

V = √3364

V = 58m/s

Her speed will be 58m/s

You should write ' 4 ' in the first box,
and ' m/s² ' in the second box.

g Two cars, car 1 and car 2 are traveling in opposite directions, car 1 with a magnitude of velocity v1=13.0 m/s and car 2 v2= 7

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

When they are approaching each other

$f_a = 2228.7 \ Hz$

When they are passing each other

$f_a = 2100Hz$

When they are retreating from each other

$f_a = 1980.7 Hz$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The velocity of car one is $v_1 = 13.0 m/s$

The velocity of car two is $v_2 = 7.22 m/s$

The frequency of sound from car one is $f_e = 2.10 kHz$

Generally the speed of sound at normal temperature is $v = 343 m/s$

Now as the cars move relative to each other doppler effect is created and this can be represented mathematically as

$f_a = f_o [\frac{v \pm v_o}{v \pm v_s} ]$

Where $v_s$ is the velocity of the source of sound

$v_o$ is the velocity of the observer of the sound

$f_o$ is the actual frequence

$f_a$ is the apparent frequency

Considering the case when they are approaching each other

$f_a = f_o [\frac{v + v_o}{v - v_s} ]$

$v_o = v_2$

$v_s = v_1$

$f_o = f_e$

Substituting value

$f_a = 2100 [\frac{343 + 7.22}{ 343 - 13} ]$

$f_a = 2228.7 \ Hz$

Considering the case when they are passing each other

At that instant

$v_o = v_s = 0m/s$

$f_o = f_e$

$f_a = f_o [\frac{v }{v } ]$

$f_a = f_o$

Substituting value

$f_a = 2100Hz$

Considering the case when they are retreating from each other

$f_a = f_o [\frac{v - v_o}{v + v_s} ]$

$v_o = v_2$

$v_s = v_1$

$f_o = f_e$

Substituting value

$f_a = 2100 [\frac{343 - 7.22}{343 + 13} ]$

$f_a = 1980.7 Hz$

The lesser the mass, the greater the acceleration for the given value of force. Why does this happen?

Tju [1.3M]

Newtons law states F=ma
so F/m=a
in addition it makes logical sense the lighter an object the easier it is to accelerate its velocity form 0 to some quantity

Which type of intelligence (analytic, creative, practical, verbal, mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpers

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

<u>verbal,</u>
<u> Intrapersonal</u>

Explanation:

Remember, we are told that "Professor Wooddro<em> </em><em>teaches an Introduction to Philosophy at the college, and loves to talk about the meaning of life and death"</em> which would require having verbal intelligence (the ability to understand and relate information using words).

Intrapersonal intelligence is also reflected by Professor Wooddro as we are told he "enjoys struggling with life's most challenging questions", <u>which shows his knowledge of his own strengths or weaknesses.</u>

1. Most waves are caused by vibrations. What motion in a transmitting antenna causes the vibrations that produce radio waves?

morpeh [17]

The answer 1 is
The best-known use of radio waves is for communication; television, cellphones and radios all receive radio waves and convert them to mechanical vibrations in the speaker to create sound waves that can be heard.Electromagnetic radiation is transmitted inwaves or particles at different wavelengths and frequencies.

the answer 2 is

Radio Waves: Instant Communication
Microwaves: Data and Heat

i think the answer number 3 is
It is all about wavelength versus tunnel diameter. The wavelength of GPS is about 20cm it would happily propagate in any normal tunnel if it could get in but the earth and other structures absorb it. AM radio (600kHz - 1500kHz) cannot propagate in any normal tunnel because the wavelength is too long (500m-200m) relative to the diameter, and thus gets reflected at the entrance. FM (100MHz ~ 3m) would propagate and it does for a while but then it suffers reflections
