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

Energy that is passed on from one trophic level to the next is called what?
yan [13]
Energy decreases as it moves uptrophic levels because energy is lost as metabolic heat when the organisms from one trophic level are consumed by organisms from the next level.Trophic level transfer efficiency (TLTE) measures the amount of energy that is transferred between trophic levels.

A proton and an alpha particle are momentarily at rest at adistance r from each other. They then begin to move apart.Find the sp
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The unknown quantities are:

E and F

The final velocity of the proton is:

√(8/3) k e^2/(m*r)

Explanation:

Hello!

We can solve this problem using conservation of energy and momentum.

Since both particles are at rest at the beginning, the initial energy and momentum are:

Ei = k (q1q2)/r

pi = 0

where k is the coulomb constant (= 8.987×10⁹ N·m²/C²)

and q1 = e and q2 = 2e

When the distance between the particles doubles, the energy and momentum are:

Ef = k (q1q2)/2r + (1/2)m1v1^2 + (1/2)m2v2^2

pf = m1v1 + m2v2

with m1 = m,   m2 = 4m,    v1=vf_p,    v2 = vf_alpha

The conservation momentum states that:

pi = pf      

Therefore:

m1v1 + m2v2 = 0

That is:

v2 = (1/4) v1

The conservation of energy states that:

Ei = Ef

Therefore:

k (q1q2)/r = k (q1q2)/2r + (1/2)m1v1^2 + (1/2)m2v2^2

Replacing

      m1 =  m, m2 = 4m, q1 = e, q2 = 2e

      and   v2 = (1/4)v1

We get:

(1/2)mv1^2 = k e^2/r + (1/2)4m(v1/4)^2 =  k e^2/r + (1/8)mv1^2

(3/8) mv1^2 = k e^2/r

v1^2 = (8/3) k e^2/(m*r)
