Two motorcycles are traveling due east with different velocities. However, 5.68 seconds later, they have the same velocity. Duri

ng this 5.68-second interval, motorcycle A has an average acceleration of 3.87 m/s2 due east, while motorcycle B has an average acceleration of 18.2 m/s2 due east. (a) By how much did the speeds differ at the beginning of the 5.68-second interval, and (b) which motorcycle was moving faster?

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Let a be the initial velocity of motorcycle A and b be the initial velocity of motorcycle B.

After 5.68 seconds, both motorcycle had the same velocity (v), therefore for motorcycle A:

(a - v) / 5.68 = 3.87

a - v = 21.9816

v = a - 21.9816

For motorcycle B:

(b - v) / 5.68 = 18.2

b - v = 103.376

v = b - 103.376

Therefore:

a - 21.9816 = b - 103.376

b - a = -21.9816 + 103.376

b - a = 81.3944

a) The difference between their speeds at the beginning was 81.3944 m/s

b) Since b - a = 81.3944. This means that the initial velocity of motorcycle B is greater than that of motorcycle A by 81.3944 m/s.

Therefore motorcycle B was moving faster

Explain why the life cycle of a star can be compared to the life style of a human
Vladimir79 [104]
A star is born when clouds of dust and elements are gathered together in a certain space due to gravity, more and more mass and therefore pressure builds. When the pressure becomes enough to overcome the electronic repulsive force between two hydrogen nuclei, they are forced together and massive amounts of energy are given off forming helium atoms. This energy is then used to fuse other nuclei together. This could be compared to the way human life starts, where instead of 2 nuclei joining together to start a life cycle, two gametes, or sex cells are joined together. Also at the start of both a star and persons life, we are weak and we gain strength until we reach the height of our existence, then humans slowly become less efficient at doing what they do until eventually they cannot sustain themselves any further.
