You are sitting in your car at rest at a traffic light with a bicyclist at rest next to you in the adjoining bicycle lane. As so

on as the traffic light turns green, your car speeds up from rest to 47.0 mi/h with constant acceleration 8.00 mi/h/s and thereafter moves with a constant speed of 47.0 mi/h. At the same time, the cyclist speeds up from rest to 23.0 mi/h with constant acceleration 12.00 mi/h/s and thereafter moves with a constant speed of 23.0 mi/h (a) For what time interval (in s) after the light turned green is the bicycle ahead of your car?
(b) What is the maximum distance (in ft) by which the bicycle leads your car during this time interval?

Answer:

Explanation:

Time duration during which acceleration exists in  bicycle =

23 / 12 = 1.91 s

Time duration during which acceleration exists in car

= 47 / 8 = 5.875 s

Distance covered by bicycle during acceleration ( t = 1.91 s )

= 1/2 x 12 x (1.91)²

= 21.88 mi

Distance covered by car during this time ( t = 1.91 s )

= 1/2 x 8 x (1.91)²

7.64 mi ,

velocity of car after 1.91 s

= 8 x 1.91 = 15.28 mi/h

Let after time 1.91 , time taken by them to meet each other be t

Total distance covered by cycle = total distance covered by car

21.88 + 23 t = 7.64 + 15.28t + 4 t²

21.88 = 7.64 - 7.72t +4 t²

4 t² -7.72 t -14.24 = 0

t = 2.83 s

Total time taken

= 2.83 + 1.91

= 4.74 s

So after 4.74 s they will meet each other.

b ) Maximum distance occurs when velocity of both of them becomes equal .

Velocity after 1.91 s of bicycle

12 x 1.91 = 23 mi/h

Velocity after 1.91 s of car

8 x 1.91 = 15.28 mi/h . Let after time t , the velocity of car becomes 23

15.28 + 8t = 23

t = .965 s

So after time .965 s , car has velocity equal to that of bicycle.

The bicycle will travel a distance of

= 21.88 + .965 x 23 = 44.075 mi

car will travel a distance of

7.64 + 15.28 x .965 + .5 x 8 x .965²

= 7.64 + 14.75 + 3.72

= 26.11 mi

Distance between car and bicycle

= 44.075 - 26.11 = 17.965 mi

= 17.965 x 1760

= 31618.4 ft.

Let’s consider tunneling of an electron outside of a potential well. The formula for the transmission coefficient is T \simeq e^
ioda

Answer:

L' = 1.231L

Explanation:

The transmission coefficient, in a tunneling process in which an electron is involved, can be approximated to the following expression:

T \approx e^{-2CL}

L: width of the barrier

C: constant that includes particle energy and barrier height

You have that the transmission coefficient for a specific value of L is T = 0.050. Furthermore, you have that for a new value of the width of the barrier, let's say, L', the value of the transmission coefficient is T'=0.025.

To find the new value of the L' you can write down both situation for T and T', as in the following:

0.050=e^{-2CL}\ \ \ \ (1)\\\\0.025=e^{-2CL'}\ \ \ \ (2)

Next, by properties of logarithms, you can apply Ln to both equations (1) and (2):

ln(0.050)=ln(e^{-2CL})=-2CL\ \ \ \ (3)\\\\ln(0.025)=ln(e^{-2CL'})=-2CL'\ \ \ \ (4)

Next, you divide the equation (3) into (4), and finally, you solve for L':

\frac{ln(0.050)}{ln(0.025)}=\frac{-2CL}{-2CL'}=\frac{L}{L'}\\\\0.812=\frac{L}{L'}\\\\L'=\frac{L}{0.812}=1.231L

hence, when the trnasmission coeeficient has changes to a values of 0.025, the new width of the barrier L' is 1.231 L

You place a 500 g block of an unknown substance in an insulated container filled 2 kg of water. The block has an initial tempera
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

3349J/kgC

Explanation:

Questions like these are properly handled having this fact in mind;

  • Heat loss = Heat gained

Quantity of heat = mcΔ∅

m = mass of subatance

c = specific heat capacity

Δ∅ = change in temperature

m₁c₁(∅₂-∅₁) = m₂c₂(∅₁-∅₃)

m₁ = mass of block = 500g = 0.5kg

c₁  = specific heat capacity of unknown substance

∅₂ = block initial temperature = 50oC

∅₁ = equilibrium temperature of block and water after mix= 25oC

m₂= mass of water = 2kg

c₂ = specific heat capacity of water = 4186J/kg C

∅₃ = intial temperature of water = 20oC

0.5c₁(50-25) = 2 x 4186(25-20)

And we can find c₁ which is the unknown specific heat capacity

c₁ = \frac{2*4186*5}{0.5*25}= 3348.8J/kg C≅ 3349J/kg C
