A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at constant speed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcycle

are both traveling at the same speed of 18.0 m/s, and the distance between them is 58.0 m . After t1 = 5.00 secs, the motorcycle starts to accelerate at a rate of 4.00 m/s^2 . The motorcycle catches up with the car at some time t2 . A) How long does it take from the moment when the motorcycle starts to accelerate until it catches up with the car? In other words, find t2-t1 Express the time numerically in seconds using three significant figures. B) How far does the motorcycle travel from the moment it starts to accelerate (at time t1 ) until it catches up with the car (at time t2)? Should you need to use an answer from a previous part, make sure you use the unrounded value. Answer numerically in meters using three significant figures.

Answer:

a) \Delta{t} = 5.39s

b) the distance the motorcycle covers is 155 m

Explanation:

Let t_2-t_1 = \Delta{t} denote the variables. Next, we analyze the motion equation for the accelerating motorcycle alongside the constant speed of the car:

v_{m2}=v_0+a\Delta{t}\\x+d=(\frac{v_0+v_{m2}}{2} )\Delta{t}\\v_c = v_0 = \frac{x}{\Delta{t}}

where:

v_{m2} represents the motorcycle's speed at time 2

v_{c} is the steady velocity of the car

v_{0} indicates the initial speeds of both vehicle types at time 1

d signifies the distance separating the car and motorcycle at the initial moment

x is the distance the car travels from time 1 to time 2

Solving the equations provides:

\left[\begin{array}{cc}car&motorcycle\\x=v_0\Delta{t}&x+d=(\frac{v_0+v_{m2}}{2}}) \Delta{t}\end{array}\right]

v_0\Delta{t}=\frac{v_0+v_{m2}}{2}\Delta{t}-d \\\frac{v_0+v_{m2}}{2}\Delta{t}-v_0\Delta{t}=d\\(v_0+v_{m2})\Delta{t}-2v_0\Delta{t}=2d\\(v_0+v_0+a\Delta{t})\Delta{t}-2v_0\Delta{t}=2d\\(2v_0+a\Delta{t})\Delta{t}-2v_0\Delta{t}=2d\\a\Delta{t}^2=2d\\\Delta{t}=\sqrt{\frac{2d}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{2*58}{4}}=\sqrt{29}=5.385s

For the second query, we determine x+d by applying the car’s motion equation to compute x:

x = v_0\Delta{t}= 18\sqrt{29}=96.933m\\then:\\x+d = 154.933

Charge is placed on two conducting spheres that are very far apart and connected by a long thin wire. The radius of the smaller
Softa [913]

Answer:

σ₁ = 3.167 * 10^{-6} C/m²

σ₂ = 7.6 * 10 ^{-6}  C/m²

Explanation:

Provided Information:

i) Smaller sphere's radius ( r ) = 5 cm.

ii) Larger sphere's radius ( R ) = 12 cm.

iii) Electric field at the larger sphere's surface  ( E₁ ) = 358 kV/m, which is equivalent to 358 * 1000 v/m

E_{1} = (\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon }) (\frac{Q_{1} }{R^{2} } )

358000 = 9 * 10^{9 } *\frac{Q_{1} }{0.12^{2} }

Charge (Q₁) = 572.8 * 10^{-9} C

Since the electric field inside a conductor is zero, the electric potential ( V ) remains constant.

V = constant

∴\frac{Q_{1} }{R} = \frac{Q_{2} }{r}

Q_{2} = \frac{r}{R} *Q_{1}

Q_{2} = \frac{5}{12} *572.8*10^{-9}   = 238.666 *10^{-9} C

Surface charge density ( σ₁ ) for the larger sphere.

Calculated Area ( A₁ )  = 4 * π * R²  = 4 * 3.14 * 0.12 = 0.180864 m².

σ₁  = \frac{Q_{1} }{A_{1} } = \frac{572.8 *10^{-9} }{0.180864} = 3.167 * 10^{-6}  C/m².

Surface charge density ( σ₂ ) for the smaller sphere.

Calculated Area ( A₂ )  = 4 * π * r²  = 4 * 3.14 * 0.05²  = 0.0314 m².

σ₂ =\frac{Q_{2} }{A_{2} } = \frac{238.66 *10^{-9} }{0.0314} = 7.6 * 10 ^{-6} C/m²

For a projectile, which of the following quantities are constant during the flight: x, y, vx, vy, v, ax, ay? Check all that appl
Yuliya22 [1165]

Response:

C. vx

F. ax

G. ay

Clarification:

The projectile follows a curved trajectory toward the ground, causing changes in x and y positions.

Since there is no external force acting in the x-direction, the acceleration in x remains at zero. Consequently, ax and vx remain unchanged.

The projectile is subject to the force of gravity, directed downwards, leading to an increase in its velocity due to the rise in its y-component.

Meanwhile, the y-component of acceleration remains constant due to gravitational acceleration.

The spring in a retractable ballpoint pen is 1.8 cm long, with a 300 N/m spring constant. When the pen is retracted, the spring
Sav [1105]

Answer:

The pen requires 7.2 mJ of energy to extend.

Explanation:

Provided:

Length = 1.8 cm

Spring constant = 300 N/m

Initial compression = 1.0 mm

Additional compression = 6.0 mm

Total compression = 1.0 + 6.0 = 7.0 mm

We need to determine the energy needed

This energy is equivalent to the variation in spring potential energy

E=PE_{2}-PE_{1}

E=\dfrac{1}{2}kx_{2}^2-\dfrac{1}{2}kx_{1}^2

Substitute the values into the formula

E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times300\times(7.0\times10^{-3})^2-\dfrac{1}{2}\times300\times(1.0\times10^{-3})^2

E=0.0072\ J

E=7.2\ mJ

Therefore, a total of 7.2 mJ is needed to extend the pen.

Two identical carts travel at the same speed toward each other, and then a collision occurs. The graphs show the momentum of eac
inna [995]

Explanation:

The term 'collision' refers to the interaction between two objects. There are two distinct types of collisions: elastic and inelastic.

In this scenario, two identical carts are heading towards each other at the same speed, resulting in a collision. In an inelastic collision, the momentum is conserved before and after the incident, but kinetic energy is lost.

After the event, both objects combine and move together at a single velocity.

The graph representing a perfectly inelastic collision is attached, illustrating that both carts move together at the same speed afterward.

A hiker walks 200m west and then walks 100m north. What is the magnitude and direction of her resulting displacement?
Maru [1059]

A hiker proceeds 200 m west and subsequently another 100 m north, resulting in a displacement of 223 m. The direction can be determined using the trigonometric function where sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse, yielding an angle of 26.6 degrees. Therefore, the total displacement is 223 m at an angle of 26.6 degrees north of west.
