Answer:
v₁ = 3.5 m/s
v₂ = 6.4 m/s
Explanation:
We have the following data:
m₁ = mass of trailing car = 400 kg
m₂ = mass of leading car = 400 kg
u₁ = initial speed of trailing car = 6.4 m/s
u₂ = initial speed of leading car = 3.5 m/s
v₁ = final speed of trailing car = ?
v₂ = final speed of leading car = ?
The final speed of the leading car is given by the following formula:
<u>v₂ = 6.4 m/s</u>
The final speed of the leading car is given by the following formula:
<u>v₁ = 3.5 m/s</u>
Answer:
x = 240 m
Explanation:
This is a kinematics exercise
Let's fix our frame of reference on car A
x = x₀ₐ+ v₀ₐ t + ½ aₐ t²
the initial position of car a is zero
x = 0 + v₀ₐ t + ½ 0.8 t²
for car B
x = x_{ob} + v_{ob} t - ½ a_b t²
car B's starting position is 30 m
x = 30 + v_{ob} t - ½ 0.4 t²
at the point where they meet, the position of the two vehicles is the same
0 + v₀ₐ t + ½ 0.8 t² = 30 + v_{ob} t - ½ 0.4 t²
let's reduce the speeds to the SI system
v₀ₐ = 14.4 km / h (1000 m / 1 km) (1h / 3600s) = 4 m / s
v_{ob} = 23.4 km / h = 6.5 m / s
4 t + 0.4 t² = 30 + 6.5 t - 0.2 t²
0.2 t² - 2.5 t - 30 = 0
t² - 12.5 t - 150 = 0
we solve the quadratic equation
t =
t =
t₁ = 20 s
t₂ = -7.5 s
time must be a positive quantity so the correct result is t = 20 s
let's look for the distance
x = 4 t + ½ 0.8 t²
x = 4 20 + ½ 0.8 20²
x = 240 m

Answer:
The velocity of the cart at the bottom of the ramp is 1.81m/s, and the acceleration would be 3.30m/s^2.
Explanation:
Assuming the initial velocity to be zero, we can obtain the velocity at the bottom of the ramp using the kinematics equations:
Dividing the second equation by the first one, we obtain:
And, since , then:
It means that the velocity at the bottom of the ramp is 1.81m/s.
We could use this data, plus any of the two initial equations, to determine the acceleration:
So the acceleration is 3.30m/s^2.
