-- Accelerating at the rate of 8 m/s², Andy's speed
after 30 seconds is
(8 m/s²) x (30.0 s) = 240 m/s .
-- His average speed during that time is
(1/2) (0 + 240 m/s) = 120 m/s .
-- In 30 sec at an average speed of 120 m/s,
Andy will travel a distance of
(120 m/s) x (30 sec) = 3,600 m
= 3.6 km .
"But how ? ! ?", you ask.
How in the world can Andy leave a stop light and then
cover 3.6 km = 2.24 miles in the next 30 seconds ?
The answer is: His acceleration of 8 m/s², or about 0.82 G
is what does it for him.
At that rate of acceleration ...
-- Andy achieves "Zero to 60 mph" in 3.35 seconds,
and then he keeps accelerating.
-- He hits 100 mph in 5.59 seconds after jumping the light ...
and then he keeps accelerating.
-- He hits 200 mph in 11.2 seconds after jumping the light ...
and then he keeps accelerating.
-- After accelerating at 8 m/s² for 30 seconds, Andy and his
car are moving at 537 miles per hour !
We really don't know whether he keeps accelerating,
but we kind of doubt it.
A couple of observations in conclusion:
-- We can't actually calculate his displacement with the information given.
Displacement is the distance and direction between the starting- and
ending-points, and we're not told whether Andy maintains a straight line
during this tense period, or is all over the road, adding great distance
but not a lot of displacement.
-- It's also likely that sometime during this performance, he is pulled
over to the side by an alert cop in a traffic-control helicopter, and
never actually succeeds in accomplishing the given description.
Momentum of the wagon increases by (200 x 3)
= 600 newton-sec
= 600 kg-m/sec
Explanation:
Take a measuring cylinder and fill it with a certain amount of water. Measure this amount of water.
Place the paper clip in the filled measuring cylinder. You will notice that the water level has gone up. When we place the paper clip in the cylinder the volume of the paper clip gets added to the volume that was present in the cylinder.
The volume of the paper clip will be the final volume of water with the paper clip - The initial volume of water without the paper clip.
Any irregularly shaped object's volume can be determined by this method.
-- An object acted on by only the force of gravity, on or near Earth's surface,
accelerates downward at the rate of about 9.8 m/s² without air resistance.
-- That number is "the acceleration due to gravity, on Earth".
-- The object in that situation is said to be in "free fall".
Answer:
You should have noticed that the number of atoms in the reactants is the same as the number of atoms in the product. The number of atoms is conserved during the reaction. However, you will also see that the number of molecules in the reactants and products are not the same.
