Answer:
a)
a = 2 [m/s^2]
b)
a = 1.6 [m/s^2]
c)
xt = 2100 [m]
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem we must use kinematics equations. But first we must identify what kind of movement is being studied.
a)
When the car moves from rest to 40 [m/s] by 20 [s], it has a uniformly accelerated movement, in this way we can calculate the acceleration by means of the following equation:
where:
Vf = final velocity = 40 [m/s]
Vi = initial velocity = 0 (starting from rest)
a = acceleration [m/s^2]
t = time = 20 [s]
40 = 0 + (a*20)
a = 2 [m/s^2]
The distance can be calculates as follows:
where:
x1 = distance [m]
40^2 = 0 + (2*2*x1)
x1 = 400 [m]
Now the car maintains its speed of 40 [m/s] for 30 seconds, we must calculate the distance x2 by means of the following equation, it is important to emphasize that this movement is at a constant speed.
v = x2/t2
where:
x2 = distance [m]
t2 = 30 [s]
x2 = 40*30
x2 = 1200 [m]
b)
Immediately after a change of speed occurs, such that the previous final speed becomes the initial speed, the new Final speed corresponds to zero, since the car stops completely.
Note: the negative sign of the equation means that the car is stopping, i.e. slowing down.
0 = 40 - (a *25)
a = 40/25
a = 1.6 [m/s^2]
The distance can be calculates as follows:
0 = (40^2) - (2*1.6*x3)
x3 = 500 [m]
c)
Now we sum all the distances calculated:
xt = x1 + x2 + x3
xt = 400 + 1200 + 500
xt = 2100 [m]
First, when the student added the layers of wax over each other, this became a representation of sedimentary rocks.
Then the student folded his/her palm and squeezed the layers of wax. This means that the student applied heat and pressure on the wax (sedimentary rocks)
Referring to the diagram below which represents the rock cycle, we will find that applying heat and pressure on sedimentary rocks would convert these rocks into metamorphic rocks.
Based on the above, the best choice would be:
