Problem 8. A professional racecar driver buys a car that can accelerate at +5.9 m/s. The racer decides to race against another driver in a souped-up stock car. Both start from rest, but the stock-car driver leaves 1.0 s before the driver of the racecar. The stock car moves with a constant acceleration of +3.6 m/s. A. Find the time it takes the racecar driver to overtake the stock-car driver. B. Find the distance the two drivers travel before they are side by side. C. Find the velocities of both cars at the instant they are side by side.

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

A. After 3.57 seconds, the racecar will overtake the stock car

B. distance travelled = 37. 59 m

C. v₁ = 21.06 m/s

v₂ = 16.45 m/s

Explanation:

Using, S = ut + 1/2at² where s is displacement, u is initial velocity, t is time, a is acceleration.

Car 1 has acceleration a = +5.9 m/s²; Car 2 has acceleration a = +3.6 m/s²

A. The time for the two cars to be directly side by side be t.

Beyond time, t, Car 1 will overtake Car 2.

Since both cars are starting from rest, initial velocity, u, = 0

S = 1/2at²

For car 1, time t = t - 1.0 since it started 1.0 second behind car 2

s₁ = 1/2 * 5.9 * (t - 1)²

s = 2.95t² - 5.9t + 2.95

For car 2; s₂ = 1/2 * 3.6 * t² = 1.8t²

at time t, the displacement of the two cars will be equal; s₁ = s₂

2.95t² - 5.9t + 2.95 = 1.8t²

1.15t² - 5.9t + 2.95 = 0

solving for t using the quadratic formula

t = (5.9 ± 4.61)/2.3

t = 4.57 s or 0.56 s

since t cannot be less than 1.0 s, t = 4.57 s

Time for car 1 = (4.57 - 1.0) s = 3.57 s

Therefore, after 3.57 seconds, the racecar will overtake the stock car

B. The distance travelled by both cars, s = 1/2 * 3.6 * 4.57² = 37.59 m OR

s = 1/2 * 5.9 * 3.57² = 37.59 m

distance travelled = 37. 59 m

C. Using v² = u² + 2as; since u = 0, v² = 2as

velocity of car 1; v₁² = 2 * 5.9 * 37.59

taking square root of both sides

v₁ = 21.06 m/s

velocity of car, v₂² = 2 * 3.6 * 37.59

taking square root of both sides

v₂ = 16.45 m/s

Answers

Answer:

Descriptions of events or places that have meanings to the audience

Explanation:

Emotional appeals are used in speeches or writings as a way to convince someone on something by means of evoking strong emotions, instead of using statistic elements or facts that support the speaker or writer's claim.

It would be A descriptions of events or places that have meaning tot the audience. The lesson explains that an appeal to emotion is "An appeal to emotions—An appeal to emotions may include descriptions of events or places that have emotional meanings to the audience." The right versus wrong one would be ethics

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.When the prophet Muhammad began preaching in A.D. 610, he attracted only a few disciples. Yet by the time he died in 632, his faith had spread throughout Arabia. By 642, the armies of Muslim conquerors, along with the arguments of the Muslim faithful, took the religion all across Syria, Iraq, parts of Iran, and Egypt. From there, Islam spread through North Africa along the Mediterranean, across to the Iberian Peninsula, and over to France. Islam's march into Europe ended in 732, when the French defeated the Muslim armies at the battle of Poitiers. But that was not all. Muslim rulers took Alexander's old lands in Afghanistan and then, from there, swept through to conquer northern India. The pagan tribes of Central Asia chose Islam. By conversion or conquest, Islam, the religion of Muhammad, won over nearly all the lands of the ancient world: Egypt, Persia, India, and the Christian Mediterranean.Which text features would be most helpful to support the central idea of the passage?
