Two students are discussing how the speed of the car compares to the speed of the truck when both vehicles are in front of the h

ouse. Student 1 says, "The distance traveled by the car and the truck is the same, and the time is the same, so they must have the same speed." Student 2 says, "I don’t see how that can be. The car catches up to the truck, so the car has to be going faster."
a. Which aspects of Student 1’s reasoning, if any, are correct? Support your answer in terms of relevant features of your graphs in part (a).
b. Which aspects of Student 2’s reasoning, if any, are correct? Support your answer in terms of relevant features of your graphs in part (a).
c. Derive an expression for the acceleration of the car. Express your answer in terms of D and vt
d. Determine the time at which the speed of the car is equal to the speed vt of the truck. Express your answer in terms of tD. Justify your answer.

Answer:

a) Student 1 is right in the way he calculates the speed cid d of the truck, since going at constant speed

b) Student 2 is right that for the car to reach the truck it must have some relationship,  

c)   t = √d/a

 

Explanation:

In this exercise you are asked to analyze the movement in a mention using kinematics.

a) Student 1 is right in the way he calculates the speed cid d of the truck, since going at constant speed he can use the equation

         v = d / t

b) Student 2 is right that for the car to reach the truck it must have some relationship, which is given by

        v = v₀ + a t

        x = v₀ t + ½ a t²

c)    let's use the equations

      v = d / t

       v = v₀ + at

      d / t = vo + at

If we can assume that the car starts from rest, so v₀ = 0

       d / t = a t

        t² = d / a

        t = √d / a

if the speed of the car is not zero the result is a little more complicated

      d = vo t + a t²

      at² + vo t - d = 0

let's solve the quadratic equation

      t = [-v₀ ± √ (v₀² + 4a d)] / 2a

A mass weighing 20 pounds stretches a spring 6 inches. The mass is initially released from rest from a point 6 inches below the
hoa [83]

Answer:

Since the spring mass system will execute simple harmonic motion the position as a function of time can be written asx(t)=Asin(\omega t+\phi)

'A' is the amplitude = 6 inches (given)

\omega =\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} is the natural frequency of the system

At equilibrium we have

mg=kx\\\\k=\frac{mg}{x}

Applying values we get

k=40 lb/ft

thus natural frequency equals

\omega =\sqrt{\frac{40}{\frac{20}{32}}}\\\\\omega =8s^{-1}

Thus the equation of motion becomes

x(t)=6sin(8t+\phi)

At time t=0 since mass is at it's maximum position thus we have

A=Asin(\omega t+\phi)\\\\\therefore sin(\omega\times 0+\phi)=1\\\\\phi=\frac{\pi}{2}\\\\\therefore x(t)=Asin(\omega t+\frac{\pi}{2})

Thus the position of mass at the given times is as follows

1) at \frac{\pi}{12} x(t)=5.99inches

2) at \frac{\pi}{8} x(t)=5.9909inches

3) at \frac{\pi}{6} x(t)=5.98397inches

4) at \frac{\pi}{4} x(t)=5.9639inches

5) at \frac{9\pi}{32} x(t)=5.954inches

Betelgeuse is the bright red star representing the left shoulder of the constellation Orion. All the following statements about
Sav [38]

Answer:

Option A; ITS SURFACE IS COOLER THAN THE SURFACE OF THE SUN.

Explanation:

A red supergiant star is a larger and brighter type of red giant star. Red supergiants are often variable stars and are between 200 to 2,000 times bigger than the Sun. Example is Betelgeuse.

Betelgeuse is one of the largest known stars, it has a diameter of about 700 times the size of the Sun or 600 million miles, it emits almost 7,500 times as much energy as the Sun, it has a rather low surface temperature (6000F compared to the Sun's 10,000F); this means that it has a more cooler surface than the Sun's surface.

This low temperature also means that the star will appear orange-red in color, and the combination of size and temperature makes it a kind of star called a red super giant.

Although, all the statements above are correct, the only one that can be inferred from the red color of Betelgeuse is that ITS SURFACE IS COOLER THAN THE SURFACE OF THE SUN.

An insurance company hired your group to help investigate an insurance claim following a car accident. In the accident, two cars
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

v=8m/s

Explanation:

To solve this problem we have to take into account, that the work done by the friction force, after the collision must equal the kinetic energy of both two cars just after the collision. Hence we have

W_{f}=E_{k}\\W_{f}=\mu N=\mu(m_1+m_1)g\\E_{k}=\frac{1}{2}[m_1+m_2]v^2

where

mu: coefficient of kinetic friction

g: gravitational acceleration

We can calculate the speed of the cars after the collision by using

W_f=(0.7)(1650kg+1900kg)(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})=24353J\\24353J=\frac{1}{2}(1650kg+1900kg)v^2\\v=\sqrt{\frac{24353J}{1775kg}}=3.70\frac{m}{s}

Now , we can compute the speed of the second car by taking into account the conservation of the momentum

P_b=P_a\\m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v\\\\v_2=\frac{(m_1+m_2)v-m_1v_1}{m_1}\\\\v_2=\frac{(1650kg+1900kg)(3.7\frac{m}{s})-(1650kg)(16\frac{m}{s})}{(1650kg)}\\\\v_2=8\frac{m}{s}

the car did not exceed the speed limit

Hope this helps!!
