The cart travels the track again and now experiences a constant tangential acceleration from point A to point C. The speeds of the cart are 13.2 ft/s at point A and 17.4 ft/s at point C. The cart takes 3.00 s to go from point A to point C, and the cart takes 1.20 s to go from point B to point C. What is the cart's speed at point B

Answers

Answer:

the cart's speed at point B is 15.72 ft/s

Explanation:

 Given the data in the question;

The car travels from point A to C in 3.00 s, its average acceleration [tex]a_{avg}[/tex] will be;

[tex]a_{avg}[/tex]  = [[tex]V_{c}[/tex]  - [tex]V_{A}[/tex]] / Δt

[tex]V_{c}[/tex] is 17.4 ft/s,   [tex]V_{A}[/tex] is 13.2 ft/s and Δt is 3.00 s

so we substitute

[tex]a_{avg}[/tex]  = [17.4 - 13.2] / 3

[tex]a_{avg}[/tex]  = 4.2 / 3

[tex]a_{avg}[/tex]  =  1.4 ft/s²

so average acceleration of the cart between the points  A and B is 1.4 ft/s²

The instantaneous value of the velocity of the cart at point B will be;

[tex]a_{avg}[/tex]  = Δv / Δt

now substitute [[tex]V_{c}[/tex]  - [tex]V_{B}[/tex]] for Δv and t' for Δt

[tex]a_{avg}[/tex]  = [[tex]V_{c}[/tex]  - [tex]V_{B}[/tex]] / t'

[tex]V_{B}[/tex] = [tex]V_{c}[/tex] - [tex]a_{avg}[/tex]( t' )

so we substitute 17.4 ft/s for [tex]V_{c}[/tex], 1.20 s for t' and  [tex]a_{avg}[/tex]  =  1.4 ft/s²

[tex]V_{B}[/tex] = 17.4 - (1.4 × 1.20)

[tex]V_{B}[/tex] = 17.4 - 1.68

[tex]V_{B}[/tex] = 15.72 ft/s

Therefore, the cart's speed at point B is 15.72 ft/s

A 1.0 C charged object and a 2.0 C charged object are separated by 100 m. Where should a -1.0x10-3 C charged object be placed on a line between the positively charged objects so that the net electrical force exerted on the negatively charged object is zero

Answers

Answer:

x = 41.2 m

Explanation:

The electric force is a vector magnitude, so it must be added as vectors, remember that the force for charges of the same sign is repulsive and for charges of different sign it is negative.

In this case the fixed charges (q₁ and q₂) are positive and separated by a distance (d = 100m), the charge (q₃ = -1.0 10⁻³ C)) is negative so the forces are attractive, such as loads q₃ must be placed between the other two forces subtract

             F = F₁₃ - F₂₃

let's write the expression for each force, let's set a reference frame on the charge q1

           F₁₃ = [tex]k \frac{q_1 q_3}{x^2}[/tex]

           F₂₃ = [tex]k \frac{q_2 q_3}{(d-x)^2}[/tex]

they ask us that the net force be zero

           F = 0

           0 = F₁₃ - F₂₃

           F₁₃ = F₂₃

          k \frac{q_1 q_3}{x^2} =k \frac{q_2 q_3}{(d-x)^2}

          [tex]\frac{q_1}{x^2} = \frac{q_2}{(d-x)^2 }[/tex]q1 / x2 = q2 / (d-x) 2

       

           (d-x)² = [tex]\frac{q_2}{q_1}[/tex] x²

we substitute

           (100 - x)² = 2/1  x²

           100- x = √2  x

           100 = 2.41 x

           x = 41.2 m

Two trucks are traveling east on I-40 when the Walmart truck (61 mph, 57 ft long) decides to pass the FedEx truck (53 mph, 60 ft long). A 'pass' starts when the front of the Walmart truck is 45 ft behind the rear of the FedEx truck and ends when the rear of the Walmart truck is 45 ft in front of the front of the FedEx truck.
How long does it take for the Walmart truck to pass the FedEx truck?
How far does the Walmart truck travel while passing the FedEx truck?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Let us assume that the slower truck which is the FedEx truck travels d mile. The pass started when the Walmart truck was 45 ft behind the FedEx truck and ended when the Walmart truck is 45 ft in front of the FedEx truck.

The additional distance covered by the truck Walmart = 45 ft + 60 ft (length of FedEx truck) + 45 ft = 150 ft

1 mile = 5280 ft

150 ft = 150 ft * 1 mile/5280 ft = 0.0284 mile

Therefore the Walmart truck covered an additional 0.0284 mile. Hence the distance covered by the walmart truck = d + 0.0284

Let us say it took t hours for the pass to be completed. Hence:

For FedEx; 53 mph = d / t.   t =d / 53

For Walmart; 61 mph = (d + 0.0284) / t.   t = (d + 0.0284) / 61

Since it took the trucks the same time. Hence:

d / 53 = (d + 0.0284) / 61

61d = 53d + 1.506

8d = 1.506

d = 1.506/8

d = 0.1882 mile = 993.75 ft

The FedEx truck traveled 993.75 mile while the Walmart truck traveled 1143.75 ft (993.75 + 150 ft)

The time (t) = d / 53 = 0.1882 / 53

t=0.00355 h = 12.8 seconds

A cat runs in a straight line. Which of the following statements about the cat's motion must be true?

Answers

Answer:

I would think it's A cat runs in a straight line.

Explanation:

The correct statement regarding the motion of the cat is option c. The speed of the cat is zero at the points a and c. Where the position meets 0 m.

What is position -time graph ?

A position - time graph is really helpful to determine the position of an object with respect to time. Thus, we can clearly calculate how much distance is covered within a given time. Similarly if the velocity of motion can be easily determined from this graph.

From the given graph, the cat starts walking from the point a. Then from a to b it walks in a straight line with an increasing velocity with time. At the point b, it reaches to its maximum displacement.

Then the cat starts walking down where the distance in m is decreasing with time, At the point c, it stops walking and it has zero speed as it is in point a. Therefore, the correct statement about the motion of the cat is option c.

What is the mass of an object if it is moving at a speed of 10 m/s and has 400 J of kinetic energy?

Answers

Answers:

8 kg

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy = (mass × velocity × velocity) ÷ 2

We know that Kinetic Energy = 400 J and velocity = 10 m/s.

KE = (m × v × v) ÷ 2

400 J = (m × 10 m/s × 10 m/s) ÷ 2

400 J = m × 50 m^2/s^2

To find the mass you will divide 400 J and 50 m^2/s^2.

m = 8 kg

You can also check it if it gives you 400 J.

KE = (m × v × v) ÷ 2

KE = (8 kg × 10 m/s × 10 m/s) ÷ 2

KE = 400 J

So this means that the mass is 8 kg. I know that it is a bit confusing, but when you do J (joules) ÷ m^2/s^2 = kg (kilograms). Hope this helps, thank you !!

You are driving up a long, inclined road. After 1.50mi you notice that signs along the roadside indicate that your elevation has increased by 510ft . b) How far do you have to drive to gain an additional 110ft of elevation

Answers

Answer:

1.825 miles

Explanation:

Given that :

Distance driven = hypotenus = 1.5 miles

Elevation at distance of 1.5 miles = 510 feets

Converting miles to feets for the hypotenus :

1 mile = 5280 feets

1.5 miles = (5280 * 1.5) = 7920 feets

To obtain the angle of inclination :

Using Pythagoras rule :

Sinθ = opposite / hypotenus

θ = Sin^-1(510 / 7920)

θ = 3.692°

For an additional elevation of 110 ft ; new height = 110 + 510 = 620 feets

Distance driven, d =?

Sin 3.69 = (620 / d)

0.0643581 * d = 620

d = 620 / 0.0643581

d = 9633.5970 feets

Converting to feets :

9633.5970 / 5280 = 1.8245448

= 1.825 miles

What is the net power needed to change the speed of a 1600-kg sport utility vehicle from 15.0 m/s to 40.0 m/s in 4.00 seconds

Answers

Answer:

The net power needed to change the speed of the vehicle is 275,000 W

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the sport vehicle, m = 1600 kg

initial velocity of the vehicle, u = 15 m/s

final velocity of the vehicle, v = 40 m/s

time of motion, t = 4 s

The force needed to change the speed of the sport vehicle;

[tex]F = \frac{m(v-u)}{t} \\\\F = \frac{1600(40-15)}{4} \\\\F = 10,000 \ N[/tex]

The net power needed to change the speed of the vehicle is calculated as;

[tex]P_{net} = \frac{1}{2} F[u + v]\\\\P_{net} = \frac{1}{2} \times 10,000[15 + 40]\\\\P_{net} = 275,000 \ W[/tex]

The net power needed to change the speed of the vehicle is 275.000Watts

Power is the ratio of workdone with respect to the time taken.

Power = workdone/timeWorkdone = force * distance/timeWorkdone = Force * speed

Get the required force:

F = m(v-u)/t

F = 1600(40-15)/4

F = 1600(25)/4

F = 400 * 25

F = 10,000N

The required net power will be calculated as shown:

P = 1/2*F(u+v)

P = 1/2(10000)*(15+40)

P = 5000(55)

P = 275,000Watts

Hence the net power needed to change the speed of the vehicle is 275.000Watts

Please could you guys help me. When an object falls from a height, the maximum energy transferred to its kinetic energy store is
equal to... *
. the energy transferred to its gravitational energy store
. the energy transferred away from its gravitational potential energy store

Answers

Answer:

the energy transferred away from its gravitational potential energy store

Explanation:

Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;

[tex] K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}[/tex]

Where, K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.

M represents mass measured in kilograms.

V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.

Potential energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position.

Mathematically, potential energy is given by the formula;

[tex] P.E = mgh[/tex]

Where,

P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.

m represents the mass of an object.

g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.

h represents the height measured in meters.

When an object falls from a height, the maximum energy transferred to its kinetic energy store is equal to the energy transferred away from its gravitational potential energy store.

This ultimately implies that, while the object was at rest it possessed potential energy, which is then transformed into motion when it starts to fall.
