Answer:

5 hours

Explanation:

Let the required time be x hours. The time will be the same for both cars.

The cars will cover different distances because they are travelling at different speeds.

<em>D=S×T </em>

The distance travelled by the slower car = 50×x miles.

The distance travelled by the faster car = 58×x miles.

The two distances differ by 40 miles.

58x−50x=40

8x=40

x=5 hours

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A second method:

The difference in the distances is 40 miles

The difference in the speeds is #8mph.

The time to make up the 40 miles= \frac{40}{8}=5 hours

A 12-kg projectile is launched with an initial vertical speed of 20 m/s. It rises to a maximum height of 18 m above the launch p
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Change in mechanical energy, \Delta E=283.2\ J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the projectile, m = 12 kg

Speed of the projectile, v = 20 m/s

Maximum height, h = 18 m

Initially, the projectile have only kinetic energy. it is given by :

K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 12\ kg\times (20\ m/s)^2

K = 2400 J

Finally, it have only potential energy. it is given by :

P = mgh

P=12\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 18\ m

P =2116.8 J

The change in mechanical energy is given by :

\Delta E=K-P

\Delta E=2400-2116.8

\Delta E=283.2\ J

So, the change in mechanical energy is 283.2 J. Hence, this is the required solution.

A ball is thrown straight up. What will
Papessa [141]

Answer:

velocity at the top: 0 m/s

acceleration at the top: -9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

Assuming up is positive and down is negative;

The velocity of the ball at the top of its path will be 0 m/s and the acceleration will be negative.

The velocity is 0 m/s because the ball does not move at the top of its path, and it switches from a positive velocity to a negative velocity. It must go through 0 in order to go from positive to negative.

The acceleration, however, is always negative no matter where the ball is in its motion. This negative acceleration causes the ball to slow down as it reaches the top, and speed up as it reaches the bottom.

<u>Think about it:</u> If there wasn't a negative acceleration, and it was instead 0, the ball would never come back down and instead keep going in a straight line.

A mass m is attached to an ideal massless spring. When this system is set in motion with amplitude a, it has a period t. What is
Luden [163]

The period will be the same if the amplitude of the motion is increased to 2a

What is an Amplitude?

Amplitude refers to the maximum extent of a vibration or oscillation, measured from the position of equilibrium.

Here,

mass m is attached to the spring.

mass attached = m

time period = t

We know that,

The time period for the spring is calculated with the equation:

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

Where k is the spring constant

Now if the amplitude is doubled, it means that the distance from the equilibrium position to the displacement is doubled.

From the equation, we can say,

Time period of the spring is independent of the amplitude.

Hence,

Increasing the amplitude does not affect the period of the mass and spring system.
