Answer:

The car and truck have the same speeds at t = Dt/2.

acceleration equals v(car) = D/t².

Explanation:

Here, acceleration is expressed as v(car) = D/t².

For the velocities to match, the car's final speed must be double that of the truck, provided the car starts from rest. As the acceleration remains constant during the trip, the speeds must coincide at the halfway point of the time.

A Honda Civic travels in a straight line along a road. The car’s distance x from a stop sign is given as a function of time t by
serg [1732]

a) Average velocity: 2.8 m/s

b) Average velocity: 5.2 m/s

c) Average velocity: 7.6 m/s

Explanation:

a)

The car's position over time t can be described by

x(t)=\alpha t^2 - \beta t^3

where

\alpha = 1.50 m/s^2

\beta = 0.05 m/s^3

To find the average velocity, we divide the displacement by the elapsed time:

v=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}

At time t = 0, the position is:

x(0)=\alpha \cdot 0^2 - \beta \cdot 0^3 = 0

At time t = 2.00 s, the position is:

x(2)=\alpha \cdot 2^2 - \beta \cdot 2^3=5.6 m

This leads us to the displacement of

\Delta x = x(2)-x(0)=5.6-0=5.6 m

The duration for this interval is

\Delta t = 2.0 s - 0 s = 2.0 s

Therefore, the average velocity during this period is

v=\frac{5.6 m}{2.0 s}=2.8 m/s

b)

At time t = 0, the position is:

x(0)=\alpha \cdot 0^2 - \beta \cdot 0^3 = 0

At time t = 4.00 s, the position is:

x(4)=\alpha \cdot 4^2 - \beta \cdot 4^3=20.8 m

Thus, the displacement is

\Delta x = x(4)-x(0)=20.8-0=20.8 m

The time interval is

\Delta t = 4.0 - 0 = 4.0 s

This yields an average velocity of

v=\frac{20.8}{4.0}=5.2 m/s

c)

The position at t = 2 s is:

x(2)=\alpha \cdot 2^2 - \beta \cdot 2^3=5.6 m

And at t = 4 s it is:

x(4)=\alpha \cdot 4^2 - \beta \cdot 4^3=20.8 m

This gives us a displacement of

\Delta x = 20.8 - 5.6 = 15.2 m

While the time interval is

\Delta t = 4.0 - 2.0 = 2.0 s

So the resulting average velocity is

v=\frac{15.2}{2.0}=7.6 m/s

Which trailer has more downward pressure where it attaches to the car?
serg [1732]

The trailer that is loaded the most. The total weight does not matter; it is about how the load is distributed. For example, our 12,000 lb snow cat trailer has weight distribution that results in less than 100 lbs of tongue weight. Heavy tongue weight can create issues, as it can shift the weight off the front wheels of the towing vehicle, causing instability.

A 7.5 kg cannon ball leaves a canon with a speed of 185 m/s. Find the average net force applied to the ball if the cannon muzzle
Keith_Richards [1485]

To determine the average net force, we can calculate acceleration using:

x = 0.5*a*t^2

v = a*t

where x=3.6m and v=185 m/s.

Thus,

t=v/a and therefore x = 0.5*a*(v/a)^2 = 0.5 * (v^2)/a

which gives us a= (0.5*v^2)/x

Since we have the known values of v and x, we can compute a by substituting these numbers.

The average net force is then given as:

F = m*a,

with m=7.5kg.

A standard baseball has a circumference of approximately 23 cm . if a baseball had the same mass per unit volume as a neutron or
Softa [1326]

Answer:

 Baseball mass:  m_b=3.992*10^{14}kg  

Explanation:

 Circumference of a baseball is calculated using 2πr = 23 cm

 Thus, the radius comes out to be 3.66 cm, which equals 3.66*10^{-2} m

 The mass density of the baseball matches that of a neutron or proton.

 Proton mass = 10^{-27} kg  

 Proton diameter = 10^{-15} m

 Proton radius =  5*10^{-16} m

 Volume of the baseball is \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3

 Now by substituting all values into the mass per unit volume equation for the baseball, we get:  

         \frac{m_b}{\frac{4}{3}\pi *(3.66*10^{-2})^3} =\frac{10^{-27}}{\frac{4}{3}\pi *(5*10^{-16})^3}

         \frac{m_b}{(3.66*10^{-2})^3} =\frac{10^{-27}}{(5*10^{-16})^3}  

         m_b=3.992*10^{14}kg

       Therefore, the baseball mass amounts to m_b=3.992*10^{14}kg

Light-rail passenger trains that provide transportation within and between cities speed up and slow down with a nearly constant
Yuliya22 [1537]

Answer:

v_f = 13m/s + 0.75 \frac{m}{s^2} * 16 s= 13 m/s +12m/s = 25 m/s

Explanation:

In this scenario, we determine the initial velocity as follows:

v_i = 7 \frac{m}{s}

The final velocity in this instance can be expressed as:

v_f = 13 \frac{m}{s}

It is noted that transitioning from 7m/s to 13m/s takes 8 seconds. We can apply a specific kinematic equation to find the acceleration for the first part of the journey:

v_f = v_i +at

Solved for acceleration, we find:

a = \frac{v_f -v_i}{t} = \frac{13 m/s -7 m/s}{8 s}= 0.75 \frac{m}{s^2}

For the subsequent route, we assume constant acceleration and that the train continues for 16 seconds, beginning with an initial velocity of 13m/s from the previous segment, allowing us to calculate the final speed via the following formula:

v_f = v_ i +a t

Substituting into the equation yields:

v_f = 13m/s + 0.75 \frac{m}{s^2} * 16 s= 13 m/s +12m/s = 25 m/s
