Answer:

42 Joules

Explanation:

Potential energy

= weight × height

= (3.5)(12)

= <u>42 joules</u>

Speedy Sue, driving at 34.0 m/s, enters a one-lane tunnel. She then observes a slow-moving van 160 m ahead traveling at 5.20 m/s

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

there will be collision

Explanation:

$v_{s}$ = speed of sue = 34 m/s

$v_{v}$ = speed of van = 5.20 m/s

$v_{sv}$ = speed of sue relative to van = $v_{s} - v_{v}$ = 34 - 5.20 = 28.8 m/s

$d_{s}$ = stopping distance after brakes are applied

$D$ = distance between sue and van = 160 m

$v_{f}$ = final speed of sue = 0 m/s

$a$ = acceleration = - 1.80 m/s²

Using the kinematics equation

$v_{f}^{2} = v_{o}^{2} + 2 a d_{s}$

$0^{2} = 28.8^{2} + 2 (1.80) d_{s}$

$d_{s} = 230.4$ m

Since $d_{s} < D$

hence there will be collision

We first determine the vertex by using the formula,<span>-b/2a = vertex, in order to get the values for the t-coordinate. That is why we got
</span>
v_y=26.5 sin(53)=21.163v_x=26.5 cos(53)=15.948
then

let x=0since you are going to land on a 3m tally=-.5(9.8)t^2+ 21.163*t
y=0=-4.9t+21.163t=4.31
vx*4.31= total distance travelled=68.88m
Then for the first wheel, you have 15.948m=vxdetermine the time when he reaches 23 meters, that is

23/15.948=1.44218 sec

substitute t with1.44218 sec, then determine the height.
h(1.44218)=20.329

Fellow student of mathematical bent tells you that the wave function of a traveling wave on a thin rope is y(x,t)= 2.20 mm cos[(

bezimeni [28]

Answer

given,

y(x,t)= 2.20 mm cos[( 7.02 rad/m )x+( 743 rad/s )t]

length of the rope = 1.33 m

mass of the rope = 3.31 g

comparing the given equation from the general wave equation

y(x,t)= A cos[k x+ω t]

A is amplitude
