Answer:

        x = 240 m

Explanation:

This is a kinematics exercise

Let's fix our frame of reference on car A

           x = x₀ₐ+ v₀ₐ t + ½ aₐ t²

         

the initial position of car a is zero

           x = 0 + v₀ₐ t + ½ 0.8 t²

for car B

          x = x_{ob} + v_{ob} t - ½ a_b t²

     

car B's starting position is 30 m

         x = 30 + v_{ob} t - ½ 0.4 t²

at the point where they meet, the position of the two vehicles is the same

         0 + v₀ₐ t + ½ 0.8 t² = 30 + v_{ob} t - ½ 0.4 t²

let's reduce the speeds to the SI system

        v₀ₐ = 14.4 km / h (1000 m / 1 km) (1h / 3600s) = 4 m / s

        v_{ob} = 23.4 km / h = 6.5 m / s

        4 t + 0.4 t² = 30 + 6.5 t - 0.2 t²

        0.2 t² - 2.5 t - 30 = 0

        t² - 12.5 t - 150 = 0

we solve the quadratic equation

       t = \frac{12.5 \pm \sqrt{12.5^2 + 4 \ 150}  }{2}

       t = \frac{12.5 \  \pm 27.5}{2}

       t₁ = 20 s

       t₂ = -7.5 s

time must be a positive quantity so the correct result is t = 20 s

let's look for the distance

        x = 4 t + ½ 0.8 t²

        x = 4 20 + ½ 0.8 20²

        x = 240 m

Answer: A)30V. First find the current of the circuit. I=V/R(total resistance). So I=60/120=0.5. Now to find voltage drop in R3 use ohms law as given. V(of 3)=(0.5)(60)=30V

A harmonic wave is traveling along a rope. It is observed that the oscillator that generates the wave completes 43.0 vibrations
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

0.218

Explanation:

Given that

Total vibrations completed by the wave is 43 vibrations

Time taken to complete the vibrations is 33 seconds

Length of the wave is 424 cm = 4.24 m

to solve this problem, we first find the frequency.

Frequency, F = 43 / 33 hz

Frequency, F = 1.3 hz

Also, we find the wave velocity. Which is gotten using the relation,

Wave velocity = 4.24 / 15

Wave velocity = 0.283 m/s

Now, to get our answer, we use the formula.

Frequency * Wavelength = Wave Velocity

Wavelength = Wave Velocity / Frequency

Wavelength = 0.283 / 1.3

Wavelength = 0.218

Eddie set up a science experiment with plants. He bought three small tomato plants, all about the same size and height, and set
Elza [17]

Answer:

The frequency of watering

Explanation:

The manipulated variable in this case is the frequency of adding water to the experimental plants.

While the first plant can be said to have a watering frequency of a day, the second had a watering frequency of 2 days while the third plant had a watering frequency of 3 days.

The experiment must have been set up to determine the effects of frequency of watering on the growth of tomato plants.
