Atruck traveling at a constant speed of 24 m/s passes a more slowly moving car. the instant the truck passes the car, the car begins to accelerate at a constant rate of 1.4 m/s^2 and passes the truck 578 m farther down the road. what was the speed of the car (in meters/second) when it was first passed by the truck?

7.15 m/s

Explanation:

We use a frame of reference in which the origin is at the point where the trucck passed the car and that moment is t=0. The X axis of the frame of reference is in the direction the vehicles move.

The truck moves at constant speed, we can use the equation for position under constant speed:

Xt = X0 + v*t

The car is accelerating with constant acceleration, we can use this equation

Xc = X0 + V0*t + 1/2*a*t^2

We know that both vehicles will meet again at x = 578

Replacing this in the equation of the truck:

578 = 24 * t

We get the time when the car passes the truck

t = 578 / 24 = 24.08 s

Before replacing the values on the car equation, we rearrange it:

Xc = X0 + V0*t + 1/2*a*t^2

V0*t = Xc - 1/2*a*t^2

V0 = (Xc - 1/2*a*t^2)/t

Now we replace

V0 = (578 - 1/2*1.4*24.08^2) / 24.08 = 7.15 m/s

96.77 amp

explanation:

rl = 250/100 = 2.5 ohms.

egl = 250 + (100 × 0.1) + 2 = 262 v.

at 700 r.p.m., eg2 = 262 × 700/1000 = 183.4 v.

if ia is the new current, then eg2 - 2 - (ia × 0.1) = 2.5 ia

which means this will give ia = 96.77 amp.
