In a quarter-mile drag race, two cars start simultaneously from rest, and every accelerates at a constant rate until it either reaches its maximum speed or crosses the finish line. Car A has an acceleration of 11.6 m/s² and a maximum speed of 101 m/s. Car B has an acceleration of 11.0 m/s² and a maximum speed of 93.0 m/s. Which car wins the race and by how many seconds?

Original unpolarized light is transmitted through analyzer : Unpolarized light passes through two Polaroid sheets. The transmission axis of the analyzer builds an angle of 45.8° with the axis of the polarizer. What fraction of the original unpolarized light is transmitted through the analyzer?

Index of refraction of plane is higher than that of coating : A possible means for making an airplane invisible to radar is to coat the plane with an antireflective polymer. If radar waves have a wavelength of 2.80 cm and the index of refraction of the polymer is n = 1.30, how thick would you build the coating?

In a location where the speed of sound : In a location where the speed of sound is 354 m/s, a 2000 Hz sound wave impinges on two slits 30cm apart. At what angle is the first maximum located? If the sound wave is replaced by 2.00cm microwaves, what slit separation gives the same angle for th..

Decide the angle among the inclined plane and the horizontal : A hollow, thin-walled cylinder and a solid sphere start from rest and roll without slipping down an inclined plane of length4.0 m. The cylinder arrives at the bottom of the plane 2.4 s after the sphere. Decide the angle among the inclined plane and t..

Suppose a uniform mass distribution before and after : The mass of a star is 1.470×1031 kg and it performs one rotation in 34.10 day. Find its new period (in days) if the diameter suddenly shrinks to 0.530 times its present size. Suppose a uniform mass distribution before and after.
