A police car is traveling north on a straight road at a constant 16.0 m/s. An SUV traveling north at 30.0 m/s passes the police

car. The driver of the SUV suspects he may be exceeding the speed limit, so just as he passes the police car he lets the SUV slow down at a constant 1.80 m/s2. How much time elapses from when the SUV passes the police car to when the police car passes the SUV?

Answer:

It will take 15.55s for the police car to pass the SUV

Explanation:

We first have to establish that both the police car and the SUV will travel the same distance in the same amount of time. The police car is moving at constant velocity and the SUV is experiencing a deceleration. Thus we will use two distance fromulas (for constant and accelerated motions) with the same variable for t and x:

1. x=x_{0}+vt

2. x=x_{0}+v_{0}t+\frac{at^{2}}{2}

Since both cars will travel the same distance x, we can equal both formulas and solve for t:

vt = v_{0}t+\frac{at^2}{2}\\\\   16\frac{m}{s}t =30\frac{m}{s}t-\frac{1.8\frac{m}{s^{2}} t^{2}}{2}

We simplify the fraction present and rearrange for our formula so that it equals 0:

0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}} t^{2}-14\frac{m}{s}t=0 \\\\ t(0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}}t-14\frac{m}{s})=0

In the very last step we factored a common factor t. There is two possible solutions to the equation at t=0 and:

0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}}t-14\frac{m}{s}=0 \\\\  0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}}t =14\frac{m}{s} \\\\ t =\frac{14\frac{m}{s}}{0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}}}=15.56s

What this means is that during the displacement of the police car and SUV, there will be two moments in time where they will be next to each other; at t=0 s (when the SUV passed the police car) and t=15.56s(when the police car catches up to the SUV)

The variable that changes is the period of the motion.

<h3>What is simple harmonic motion?</h3>

The term simple harmonic motion refers to a regular repeating motion. The acceleration of the SHM is always directed towards the center. The spring is an example of a system undergoing simple harmonic motion.

From the description in the question, the variable that changes is the period of the motion.

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, an object will accelerate if you apply what kind of force? Question 1 options: Frict
Bumek [7]

An unbalanced force is required to accelerate an object according to Newton's Second Law of Motion.

<h3>What does Newton's Second Law of Motion state?</h3>

It states that the force applied to the object is equal to the product of mass and acceleration.

F = ma

  • An object will accelerate when the net force applied on the object is more than zero or unbalanced.
  • The acceleration is the change in the direction or speed of the object. To achieve acceleration the force must be greater in a direction.

  • When force is greater in one the object move in that direction which is known as acceleration.

Therefore, an unbalanced force is required to accelerate an object according to Newton's Second Law of Motion.

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

\omega = 22.67 rad/s

Explanation:

Here we can use energy conservation

As per energy conservation conditions we know that work done by external source is converted into kinetic energy of the disc

Now we have

W = \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2

now we know that work done is product of force and displacement

so here we have

W = F.d

W = (44 N)(0.9 m) = 39.6 J

now for moment of inertia of the disc we will have

I = \frac{1}{2}mR^2

I = \frac{1}{2}(7 kg)(0.21^2)

I = 0.154 kg m^2

now from above equation we will have

39.6 = \frac{1}{2}(0.154)\omega^2

\omega = 22.67 rad/s
