HELP PLEASE 20 POINTS SHOW WORK, ALL EQUATIONS

Physics
1 answer:
nataly862011 [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

s = 3 m

Explanation:

Let t be the time the accelerating car starts.

Let's assume the vehicles are point masses so that "passing" takes no time.

the position of the constant velocity and accelerating vehicles are

s = vt = 40(t + 2)  cm

s = ½at² = ½(20)(t)² cm

they pass when their distance is the same

½(20)(t)² = 40(t + 2)

10t² = 40t + 80

0 = 10t² - 40t - 80

0 = t² - 4t - 8

t = (4±√(4² - 4(1)(-8))) / 2(1)

t = (4± 6.928) / 2  ignore the negative time as it has not occurred yet.

t = 5.464 s

s = 40(5.464 + 2) = 298.564 cm

300 cm when rounded to the single significant digit of the question numerals.

Concerning the work done by a conservative force, which of the following statements, if any, are true? It can always be expresse
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

It is independent of the path of the body and depends only on the starting and ending points.

Explanation:

In Physics we define a conservative force as a force that is independent of the path of the body and depends only on the starting and ending points.

For conservative forces we can write;

KEi + PEi = KEf +PEf

where;

KEi= initial kinetic energy

PEi= initial potential energy

KEf= final kinetic energy

PEf= final potential energy

This equation is known as the principle conservation of mechanical energy . It applies only to conservative forces where friction is negligible. The term KE + PE  is also known as the total mechanical energy of the system.

8) Calculate the kinetic energy of a truck that has a mass of 6100 kg and is moving at 55 m/s.
Inessa [10]

Answer:

<h2>9,226,250 J</h2>

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object can be found by using the formula

k =  \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2}  \\

v is the velocity

m is the mass

From the question we have

k =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 6100 \times  {55}^{2}  \\  = 3050 \times 3025 \\  = 9226250

We have the final answer as

<h3>9,226,250 J</h3>

Hope this helps you
