In figure, a red car and a green car, identical except for the color, move toward each other in adjacent lanes and parallel to x axis. At time t=0, the red car is atxr=0and green car is at xg=220m. If the red car has constant velocity of 20 km/hr, the cars pass each other atx = 44.5 m, and if it has a constant velocity of40 km/hr, they pass each other atx = 76.6 m. What are (a) the initial velocity? (b) the constant acceleration of the green car?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The initial velocity of the green car is-50km/h.
  2. The acceleration of the green car is -2.0m/s2.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Position of red car,xr=0

Position of green car,xg=220m

Velocity of red car in first case,v1=20km/hr

Point at which both cars cross each other in first case,x1=44.5m

Velocity of red car in second case,v2=40km/hr

Point at which both cars cross each other in second case,x2=76.6m

02

Concept and formula used in the given question

The problem deals with the kinematic equation of motion in which the motion of an object is described at constant acceleration. Using the second kinematic equation, equations for the displacement of the both the green and the red car can be written.

By solving these equations simultaneously, either velocity or acceleration of the green car can be found. And finally, using this value of velocity in any one of above equation, the acceleration of the green car can be computed.

Formula:

The displacement in kinematic equation is given by,

x=V0t++12at2t=xv

(a) Calculation for the initial velocity

Let distance between the two cars be xg=220at t = 0

Let v1be the 20 km / h = 5.56 m/s corresponding to the passing point of x1=44.5mand

v2be the 20 km/h = 5.56 m/s corresponding to passing point of x2=76.6mof the red car.

xg-x1=vgt1+12at12

Where,

t1=x1v1=44.55.55=8.00s

Substituting the values of in the above equation,

Where,

t2=x2v2=76.611.11=6.89s

Substituting the value of v2,t2anddin the above equation,

143.4=6.89Vg+23.74a

Solving above equations simultaneously, we get

The initial velocity of the green car

role="math" vg=-13.9m/s=-50km/h

Negative sign means velocity is opposite to the velocity of red car or along the direction.

Therefore, initial velocity of the car is .

04

(b) Calculation for the constant acceleration of the green car

Using vgin above equation, we get acceleration of the car

vg=-13.9m/s=-50km/ha=-2.0m/s2

The negative sign means it is along the -x direction.

Therefore, acceleration of the green car is -2.0m/s2
