At the instant the traffic light turns green, an automobile starts with a constant acceleration aof2.2m/s2. At the same instant, a truck traveling with a constant speed of9.5m/s, overtakes and passes the automobile. (a)How far beyond the traffic signal will the automobile overtake the truck? (b)How fast will the automobile be traveling at that instant?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) Automobile will overtake the truck 82mbeyond the traffic signal

(b) While overtaking the truck the velocity of the car is19m/s

Step by step solution

01

Given data

Acceleration of an automobile is 2.2m/s2.

The speed of the truck is 9.5m/s.

02

Kinematic Equations of Motion

Kinematics is the study of how a system of bodies moves without taking into account the forces or potential fields that influence motion. The equations which are used in the study are known as kinematic equations of motion.The kinematic equations relate the displacement, velocity, acceleration, and time with the motion of the objects.

Step 3:(a) Calculation of the point at which an automobile will overtake a truck from a traffic signal

The moment at which, the automobile overtakes the truck, the distance covered by the truck and the automobile will be the same.

So,it can be written that,

Xcoversbycar=Xcoverdbytruck=V0t+12at2=12at2

Therefore,

role="math" localid="1656302231139" Xcoveredbycar=12at2i

As the car starts from rest i.e.v0=0Use the same kinematic equation to write the distance traveled by the car.

role="math" localid="1656302348535" Xcoveredbytruck=v0tii

Now, equate equations (i) and (ii).

v0t=12at2v0=12att=2v0a

Substitute the value of the initial velocity of the truck and acceleration of the car.

t=29.52.2=8.6sec

Substitute the value of time in equation (ii) to calculate the distance traveled.

xcoverdbycar=v0t=9.58.6=81.782m

So, the at82m, automobile will overtake the truck as it passes the traffic signal.

Step 4:(b) Calculation of velocity of the automobile, the moment it overtakes the truck

Now, use the value of acceleration and time to calculate the speed of the car when it

overtakes the truck,

Vf=Vi+at=2.28.6=18.9219m/s

The moment an automobile overtakes atruck, it has a velocity of magnitude19m/s.

: Most important in an investigation of an airplane crash by the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board is the data stored on the airplane鈥檚 flight-data recorder, commonly called the 鈥渂lack box鈥 in spite of its orange coloring and reflective tape. The recorder is engineered to withstand a crash with an average deceleration of magnitude 3400gduring a time interval of 6.50ms. In such a crash, if the recorder and airplane have zero speed at the end of that time interval, what is their speed at the beginning of the interval?
