Answer:

2 m/s²

Explanation:

If changes speed by 2 meters per second each second means:

2 m/s²

Because it changes constantly it veloctity.

Remember the aceleration changes the velocity.

A car and a train move together along straight, parallel paths with the same constant cruising speed v(initial). At t=0 the car

kogti [31]

Answer:

$t_1 = \frac{v_i}{a_i}$

$t_2 = \frac{v_i}{a_i}$

Δd = $v_it_1 = v_i^2/a_i$

Explanation:

As $v(t) = v_i + at$ , when the car is making full stop, $v(t_1) = 0$ . $a = -a_i$ . Therefore,

$0 = v_i - a_it_1\\v_i = a_it_1\\t_1 = \frac{v_i}{a_i}$

Apply the same formula above, with $v(t_2) = v_i$ and $a = a_i$ , and the car is starting from 0 speed, we have

$v_i = 0 + a_it_2\\t_2 = \frac{v_i}{a_i}$

As $s(t) = vt + \frac{at^2}{2}$ . After $t = t_1 + t_2$ , the car would have traveled a distance of

$s(t) = s(t_1) + s(t_2)\\s(t_1) = (v_it_1 - \frac{a_it_1^2}{2})\\ s(t_2) = \frac{a_it_2^2}{2}$

Hence $s(t) = (v_it_1 - \frac{a_it_1^2}{2}) + \frac{a_it_2^2}{2}$

As $t_1 = t_2$ we can simplify $s(t) = v_it_1$

After t time, the train would have traveled a distance of $s(t) = v_i(t_1 + t_2) = 2v_it_1$

Therefore, Δd would be $2v_it_1 - v_it_1 = v_it_1 = v_i^2/a_i$

Thepotemich [5.8K]

The image formed by a plane mirror is virtual, upright and the same size with the actual object. The upright image of an object in a plane mirror is can be found on the other side of the mirror which is why it is also virtual.
