At the instant the traffic light turns green, an automobile starts with a constant acceleration a of 2.5 m/s2. At the same insta

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

6.96 s

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

u = initial speed of the automobile = 0 m/s

a = constant acceleration of the automobile = $2.5\ m/s^2$
v = constant speed of the truck = 8.7 m/s

<u>Assume:</u>

t = time instant at which the automobile overtakes the truck.

At the moment the automobile and the truck both meat each other the distance travel by both vehicles must be the same.

$\therefore \textrm{Distance traveled by the automobile }=\textrm{Distance traveled by the truck}\\\Rightarrow ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2=vt\\\Rightarrow (0)t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2.5\times t^2=8.7t\\\Rightarrow 1.25t^2=8.7t\\\Rightarrow 1.25t^2-8.7t=0\\\Rightarrow t(1.25t-8.7)=0\\\Rightarrow t = 0\,\,\,or\,\,\, t = \dfrac{8.7}{1.25}\\\Rightarrow t = 0\,\,\,or\,\,\, t = 6.96\\$

Since t = 0 s is the initial condition. So, they both meet again at t = 6.96 s such that the automobile overtakes the truck.

How did mount st. Helen get its name

steposvetlana [31]

The modern name, Mount St. Helen's, was given to the volcanic peak in 1792 by seafarer and explorer Captain George Vancouver of the British Royal Navy. He named it in honor of fellow countryman Alleyne Fitzherbert, who held the title 'Baron St. Helen's.

What is the value of x in the equation below 1+2e^x+1=9

GuDViN [60]

<h2>Answer: 1.252</h2>

Explanation:

We are given this equation and we need to find the value of $x$ :

$1+2e^x+1=9$ (1)

Firstly, we have to clear $x$ :

$2e^x=9-1-1$

$2e^x=7$

$e^x=\frac{7}{2}$ (2)

Applying<u> Natural Logarithm</u> on both sides of the equation (2):

$ln(e^x)=ln(\frac{7}{2})$ (3)

$xln(e)=ln(\frac{7}{2})$ (4)

According to the Natural Logarithm rules $xln(e)=x$ , so (4) can be written as:

$x=ln(\frac{7}{2})$ (5)

Finally:

$x=1.252$

A parallel-plate capacitor stores charge Q. The capacitor is then disconnected from its voltage source, and the space between th

Stells [14]

Answer:

The relationship between the initial stored energy $PE_{i}$ and the stored energy after the dielectric is inserted $PE_{f}$ is:

c) $PE_{f} =0.5\ PE_{i}$

Explanation:

A parallel plate capacitor with $C_{o}$ that is connected to a voltage source $V_{o}$ holds a charge of $Q_{o} =C_{o} V_{o}$ . Then we disconnect the voltage source and keep the charge $Q_{o}$ constant . If we insert a dielectric of $\kappa=2$ between the plates while we keep the charge constant, we found that the potential decreases as:
