Two cars, initially at rest and 5 km apart at t=0 , simultaneously move toward each other. Car A travels at a constant speed of

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

Explanation:

<u>Constant Speed Motion</u>

An object is said to travel at constant speed if the ratio of the distance traveled by the time taken is constant.

Expressed in a simple equation, we have:

$\displaystyle v=\frac{d}{t}$

Where

v = Speed of the object

d = Distance traveled

t = Time taken to travel d.

From the equation above, we can solve for d:

d = v . t

And we can also solve it for t:

$\displaystyle t=\frac{d}{v}$

Two cars are initially separated by 5 km are approaching each other at relative speeds of 55 km/h and 12 km/h respectively. The total speed at which they are approaching is 55+12 = 67 km/h.

The time it will take for them to meet is:

$\displaystyle t=\frac{5}{67}$

t = 0.0746 hours

Converting to seconds: 0.0746*3600 = 268.56

The closest answer is d. 268 s

worty [1.4K]

Big Bang is a theory that, as stated above, has grown to become widely acceptable scientific explanation of the origin of things. Research would say that according to this theory, the Earth originated billion years ago through an explosive of a highly energized point.

Through this explosion, the elements were formed. However, only the lightest of the elements including hydrogen and helium, with traces of lithium and beryllium. From the choices, the answer would have to be the second choice, helium.

Answer: B. helium

A 4 kg textbook sits on a desk. It is pushed horizontally with a 50 N applied force against a 15 N frictional force.

GarryVolchara [31]

a) See free-body diagram in attachment

b) The book is stationary in the vertical direction

c) The net horizontal force is 35 N in the forward direction

d) The net force on the book is 35 N in the forward horizontal direction

e) The acceleration is $8.75 m/s^2$ in the forward direction

Explanation:

The free-body diagram of a body represents all the forces acting on the body using arrows, where the length of each arrow is proportional to the magnitude of the force and points in the same direction.

From the diagram of this book, we see there are 4 forces acting on the book:

- The applied force, F = 50 N, pushing forward in the horizontal direction

- The frictional force, $F_f = 15 N$ , pulling backward in the horizontal direction (the frictional force always acts in the direction opposite to the motion)

- The weight of the book, $W=mg$ , where m is the mass of the book and $g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity, acting downward. We can calculate its magnitude using the mass of the book, m = 4 kg:

$W=(4)(9.8)=39.2 N$

- The normal reaction exerted by the desk on the book, N, acting upward, and balancing the weight of the book

The book is in equilibrium in the vertical direction, therefore there is no motion.

In fact, the magnitude of the normal reaction (N) exerted by the desk on the book is exactly equal to the weight of the book (W), so the equation of motion along the vertical direction is

$N-W=ma$
