Based on the passage, how do the boys resolve their conflict?

A professional racecar driver buys a car that can accelerate at 5.9 m/s2. The racer decides to race against another driver in a

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

(a) Time will be t = 3.56 sec

(b) Distance traveled by car when they are side by side is 37.38712 m

(b) Velocity of race car = 21.004 m/sec

velocity of stock car = 12.816 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given acceleration of the car $a_1=5.9m/sec^2$

Acceleration of the stock car $a_2=3.6m/sec^2$

When 1st car overtakes the second car then distance traveled by both the car will be same

(a) So $s_1=s_2$

As both car starts from rest so initial velocity of both car will be 0 m/sec

It is given that stock car leaves 1 sec before

So $\frac{1}{2}\times 5.9\times t^2=\frac{1}{2}\times (t+1)^2\times 3.6$

After solving t = 3.56 sec

(b) From second equation of motion $s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2=0\times 3.56+\frac{1}{2}\times 5.9\times 3.56^2=37.38712m$

(c) From first equation pf motion v = u+at

So velocity of race car v = 0+5.9×3.56 = 21.004 m/sec

Velocity of stock car v = 0+ 3.6×3.56 = 12.816 m/sec

Where do Earth’s convection currents occur

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Convection currents occur in the magma drive plate tectonics. Here heat is generated from the radioactive decay of elements in the interior of the Earth, creating magma in the asthenosphere.

For a mass oscillating on a spring at what positions are (a) velocity and (b) acceleration of the mass have maximum valeus?

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

a)At the mean position

b)At the extremes positions

Explanation:

Given that mass is having oscillation motion.

We know that

1. At the mean position -The velocity of the mass is maximum and the acceleration of the mass is minimum.The net force on the mass will be zero.

2. At the extreme position-The velocity of the mass is minimum and the acceleration of the mass is maximum.The net force on the mass will not be zero.

Therefore

a)At the mean position

b)At the extremes positions

An open-topped freight car with mass 24,000 kg is coasting without friction along a level track. It is raining very hard, and th

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

(a) v = 3..6 m/s

(b) The rain falling downward has been able to affect the horizontal motion of the car by reducing it's velocity from 4 m/s to 3.6 m/s.

Explanation:

from the question we have the following:

mass of the car (Mc) = 24,000 kg

initial velocity of the car (u) = 4 m/s

mass of water (Mw) = 3000 kg

final velocity of the car (v) = ?

(a) we can calculate the final momentum of the car by applying the conservation of momentum where

initial momentum = final momentum

Mc x U = (Mc + Mw) x V

24000 x 4 = (24000 + 3000) x v

96,000 = 27000v

v =3.6 m/s

(b) The rain falling downward has been able to affect the horizontal motion of the car by reducing it's velocity from 4 m/s to 3.6 m/s.
