Two vehicles A and B accelerate uniformly from rest.

Physics
1 answer:
spayn [35]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

(i) Please find attached the required velocity time graphs plotted with MS Excel

(ii) The velocity of vehicle A at the 18th second = 20 m/s

The velocity of vehicle B at the 18th second = 0 m/s

(iii) The distance between the two vehicles at the moment in (ii) above is 60 meters

Explanation:

The given parameters of the motion of vehicles A and B are;

The acceleration of vehicles A and B = Uniform acceleration starting from rest

The maximum velocity attained by vehicle A = 30 m/s

The time it takes vehicle A to attain maximum velocity = 10 s

The maximum velocity attained by vehicle B = 30 m/s

The time it takes vehicle B to attain maximum velocity = The time it takes vehicle A to attain maximum velocity = 10 s

The time duration vehicle A maintains its maximum velocity = 6 s

The time duration vehicle B maintains its maximum velocity = 4 s

(i) From the question, we get the following table;

\begin{array}{ccc}Time &V_A&V_B\\0&0&0\\10&30&40\\14&30&40\\16&30&20\\18&20&0\\22&0&\end{array}

From the above table the velocity time graphs of vehicles A and B is created with MS Excel and can included here

(ii) The velocity of vehicle A at the start = 0 m/s

After accelerating for 10 seconds, the velocity of vehicle A = The maximum velocity of vehicle A = 30 m/s

The maximum velocity is maintained for 6 seconds which gives;

At 10 s + 6 s = 16 s, the velocity of vehicle A = 30 m/s

The time it takes vehicle A to decelerate to rest = 6 s

The deceleration of vehicle A, a_A = (30 m/s - 0 m/s)/(6 s) = 5 m/s²

Therefore, we get;

v = u - a_A·t

At the 18th second, the deceleration time, t = 18 s - 16 s = 2 s

u = 30 m/s

∴ v₁₈ = 30 - 5 × 2 = 20

The velocity of vehicle A at the 18th second, V_{18A} = 20 m/s

For vehicle B, we have;

At the 14th second, the velocity of vehicle B = 40 m/s

Vehicle B decelerates to rest in, t = 4 s

The deceleration of vehicle B, a_B = (40 m/s - 0 m/s)/(4 s) = 10 m/s²

For vehicle B, at the 18th second, t = 18 s - 14 s = 4 s

∴ v_{18B} = 40 m/s - 10 m/s² × 4 s = 0 m/s

The velocity of the vehicle B at 18th second, v_{18B} = 0 m/s

(iii) The distance covered by vehicle A up to the 18th second is given by the area under the velocity-time graph as follows;

The area triangle A₁ = (1/2) × 10 × 30 = 150

Area of rectangle, A₂ = 6 × 30 = 180

Area of trapezoid, A₃ = (1/2) × (30 + 20) × 2 = 50

The distance covered in the 18th second by vehicle S_A = A₁ + A₂ + A₃

∴ S_A = 150 + 180 + 50 = 380

The distance covered in the 18th second by vehicle S_A = 380 m

The distance covered by the vehicle B in the 18th second is given by the area under the velocity time graph of vehicle B as follows;

Area of trapezoid, A₅ = (1/2) × (18 + 4) × 40 = 440

The distance covered by the trapezoid, S_B = 440 m

The distance of the two vehicles apart at the 18t second, S_{AB} = S_B - S_A

∴ S_{AB} = 440 m - 380 m = 60 m

The distance of the two vehicles from one another at the 18th second, S_{AB} = 60 m.

Nasa’s goal is to help industry reduce emissions from aircraft by how much by 2050 compared to 2005?
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

Commercial aviation is responsible for 2% of global carbon emission. In the year 2009, the members of IATA (International Air Transport Association) had drawn a pledge to:

1. Halve the carbon emission due to aircraft by 2050, relative to emission of 2005

2. To make growth of industry carbon neutral by 2020

3. To cut CO₂ emission by 1.5% per year till 2020

To achieve these targets, a four pillar action plan was created.

A 2 kg ball is dropped above the surface of Planet X. If the gravitational field strength at the surface of Planet X is 5 N/kg,
Trava [24]

Given data:

* The mass of the ball is 2 kg.

* The gravitational field strength at the surface of planet X is 5 N/kg.

Solution:

The weight of the ball on the planet X is,

W=ma

where m is the mass of ball, a is the gravitational field strength,

Substituting the known values,

\begin{gathered} W=2\times5 \\ W=10\text{ N} \end{gathered}

Thus, the weight of the ball on the surface of planet X is 10 N.

A cart starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at 4.0 m/s2 for 5.0 s. It next maintains the velocity it has reached for 10 s.
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

12m/s

Explanation:

v_f=v_o+at

Let's call the velocity that the car maintains for 10 seconds v_f_1, and the final velocity v_f_2.

v_f_1=0+(4)(5)=20m/s \\\\v_f_2=20+(-2)(4)=12m/s

Hope this helps!
