Automobile A and B are initially 30 m apart travelling in adjacent highway lanes at speeds VA = 14.4 km/hr., VB 23.4 km/hr. at t

= 0.0. Knowing that automobile A has a constant acceleration of 0.8 m/s? and automobile B has a constant deceleration of 0.4 m/s2. Automobile A will overtake B after traveling a distance SA: A B. Side view​

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

A battery charger is connected to a dead battery and delivers a current of 8.9 A for 4.7 hours, keeping the voltage across the b
adell [148]

Answer:

1807.56 kJ

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Current, I = 8.9A

Time, t = 4.7hrs = 4.7 * 3600 = 16920 secs

Voltage, V = 12V

Electrical energy is given as:

E = I*V*t

Where I = Current

V = Voltage/Potential differenxe

t = time in seconds.

E = 8.9 * 12 * 16920

E = 1807056 J = 1807.056 kJ

In deep space, there is very little friction. Once they launch a probe into deep space, where there are no external forces actin
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

move at constant velocity.

Explanation:

Newton's first law (also known as law of inertia) states that:

"when the net force acting on an object is zero, the object will keep its state of rest or if it is moving, it will continue moving at constant velocity".

In the case of the probe, friction in deep space is negligible, therefore when the engine is shut down, there are no more forces acting on the probe: the net force therefore will be zero, so the probe will move at constant velocity.

Label the producers and consumers, then label the different types of consumers.
sdas [7]
The base of the pyramid has the producers and everything else above the base falls under the consumers category i.e the locusts,frogs and the snake. The grass is the producer, the locust is a consumer, the frog is a special type of omnivore, termed the "life-history omnivore" since they eat both plants and animals but at different times in their lives. In this case they are just omnivores and lastly, the snake is a carnivore.
