The total displacement is equal to the total distance. For the east or E direction, the distance is determined using the equation:
d = vt = (22 m/s)(12 s) = 264 m
For the west or W direction, we use the equations:
a = (v - v₀)/t
d = v₀t + 0.5at²
Because the object slows down, the acceleration is negative. So,
-1.2 m/s² = (0 m/s - 22 m/s)/t
t = 18.33 seconds
d = (22 m/s)(18.33 s) + 0.5(-1.2 m/s²)(18.33 s)²
d = 201.67 m
Thus,
Total Displacement = 264 m + 201.67 m = 465.67 or approximately 4.7×10² m.
The basic definition of pressure is force/area and the scientific community defined that as the Pascal (Pa).
Answer:
0.8712 m/s²
Explanation:
We are given;
Velocity of first car; v1 = 33 m/s
Distance; d = 2.5 km = 2500 m
Acceleration of first car; a1 = 0 m/s² (constant acceleration)
Velocity of second car; v2 = 0 m/s (since the second car starts from rest)
From Newton's equation of motion, we know that;
d = ut + ½at²
Thus,for first car, we have;
d = v1•t + ½(a1)t²
Plugging in the relevant values, we have;
d = 33t + 0
d = 33t
For second car, we have;
d = v2•t + ½(a2)•t²
Plugging in the relevant values, we have;
d = 0 + ½(a2)t²
d = ½(a2)t²
Since they meet at the next exit, then;
33t = ½(a2)t²
simplifying to get;
33 = ½(a2)t
Now, we also know that;
t = distance/speed = d/v1 = 2500/33
Thus;
33 = ½ × (a2) × (2500/33)
Rearranging, we have;
a2 = (33 × 33 × 2)/2500
a2 = 0.8712 m/s²
