On a straight road, a car speeds up at a constant rate from rest to 20 m/s over a 5 second interval and a truck slows at a constant rate from 20 m/s to a complete stop over a 10 second interval. How does the distance traveled by the truck compare to that of the car? So assuming that I've sketched a graph, do I just do distance x time? a. The truck travels twice as far as the car.
b. There is not enough information to answer the question.
c .The truck travels the same distance as the car.
d The truck travels half as far as the car.

Explanation:

Since the car speeds up at a constant rate, we can use the kinematic equation for distance (assuming that the initial position is x=0, and choosing t₀ =0), as follows:

$x_{fc} = v_{o}*t + \frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2} (1)$

Since the car starts from rest, v₀ =0.We know the value of t = 5 sec., but we need to find the value of a.Applying the definition of acceleration, as the rate of change of velocity with respect to time, and remembering that v₀ = 0 and t₀ =0, we can solve for a, as follows:

$a_{c} =\frac{v_{fc}}{t} = \frac{20m/s}{5s} = 4 m/s2 (2)$

Replacing a and t in (1):

$x_{fc} = v_{o}*t + \frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2} = \frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2} = \frac{1}{2}* 4 m/s2*(5s)^{2} = 50.0 m. (3)$

Now, if the truck slows down at a constant rate also, we can use (1) again, noting that v₀ is not equal to zero anymore.Since we have the values of vf (it's zero because the truck stops), v₀, and t, we can find the new value of a, as follows:

$a_{t} =\frac{-v_{to}}{t} = \frac{-20m/s}{10s} = -2 m/s2 (4)$

Replacing v₀, at and t in (1), we have:

$x_{ft} = 20m/s*10.0s + \frac{1}{2}*(-2 m/s2)*(10.0s)^{2} = 200m -100m = 100.0m (5)$

Therefore, as the truck travels twice as far as the car, the right answer is a).

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water

Answer from: Quest

Magma is composed of molten rock and is stored in the earth's crust. lava is magma that reaches the surface of our planet through a volcano vent.
