The time elapsed when the vehicles are closest to each other is 20 min.

The given parameters:

  • Speed of the truck, u = 80 km/h
  • Distance, d = 32 km
  • Speed of the car, v = 50 km/h

<h3>Principles of relative speed</h3>

The time elapsed when the cars are close to each other is calculated by applying the principles of relative speed.

(V_r) t = d\\\\V_r^2 = 50^2 + 80^2\\\\V_r =\sqrt{50^2 + 80^2} \\\\V_r = 94.34 \ km/h

94.34 t = 32\\\\t = \frac{32}{94.34} \\\\t = 0.34 \ hr\\\\t \approx 20 \min

Thus, the time elapsed when the vehicles are closest to each other is 20 min.

What happens when a mechanical wave travels through a medium?
Blizzard [7]
A mechanical wave<span> is a </span>wave<span> that is an oscillation of </span>matter<span>, and therefore transfers energy through a </span>medium.[1]<span> While waves can move over long distances, the movement of the </span>medium of transmission<span>—the material—is limited. Therefore, oscillating material does not move far from its initial equilibrium position. Mechanical waves transport energy. This energy propagates in the same direction as the wave. Any kind of wave (mechanical or electromagnetic) has a certain energy. Mechanical waves can be produced only in media which possess elasticity and inertia.</span>

Question 2.
boyakko [2]

The tensile stress of the wire supporting 2 kg mass is determined as 6.1 x 10⁷ N/m².

<h3>Tensile stress of the wire</h3>

The tensile stress of the wire is calculated as follows;

σ = F/A

where;

  • A is area of the wire

A = πr² = πD²/4

where;

  • D is diameter = 0.64 mm

A = π x (0.64 x 10⁻³)²/4

A = 3.22 x 10⁻⁷ m²

σ = F/A = (mg)/A = (2 x 9.8)/( 3.22 x 10⁻⁷)

σ = 6.1 x 10⁷ N/m²
