Runner A is initially 5.8 km west of a flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 8.6 km/h due east. Runner B is initially 4.9 km east of the flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 7.1 km/h due west. How far are the runners from the flagpole when their paths cross? Answer in units of km.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Runner A will be 0.05 km from the flagpole, and runner B will be 0.07 km from the flagpole

Explanation:

We can find when their paths will cross as follows:

[tex] X_{f} = X_{0} + v_{0}t + \frac{1}{2}at^{2} [/tex]

Where:

[tex]X_{f}[/tex] is the final position

[tex]X_{0}[/tex] is the initial position

v₀ is the initial speed

t is the time

a is the acceleration = 0 (since they are running with a constant velocity)

When their paths cross we have:

[tex]X_{fA}+X_{fB}=5.8+4.9=10.7 km[/tex]

[tex]V_{A}t+V_{B}t=10.7[/tex]

[tex]8.6t+7.1t=10.7[/tex]

[tex]t = 0.68 h[/tex]

Now we can find the final distance of each runner.

[tex]X_{fA}=V_{A}*0.68[/tex]

[tex]X_{fA}=8.6*0.68 km[/tex]

[tex]X_{fA}=5.85 km[/tex]

[tex]X_{fB}=V_{B}*0.68[/tex]

[tex]X_{fB}=7.1*0.68[/tex]

[tex]X_{fB}=4.83 km[/tex]

Therefore, runner A will be 0.05 km from the flagpole, and runner B will be 0.07 km from the flagpole.

I hope it helps you!

otd-2)A softball is thrown straight up into the air at 25 m/s. if it returns to the thrower after 5.0 seconds, how high did it go?

Answers

One way:

The ball returned to the thrower's hand after 5 seconds.  It spent 2.5 seconds going up, and 2.5 seconds coming back down.

Use the formula Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) (time squared)

Distance = (1/2) (gravity) (2.5 sec)

Distance = (1/2) (9.8 m/s ²) (6.25 sec² )

Distance = (4.9 m/s²) (6.25 sec²)

Distance = 30.63 meters

Another way:

The thrower threw the ball straight up at 25 m/s.

It sailed upward for 2.5 seconds.

At the top of its trip, before it started falling, its speed was zero.

Its average speed was (1/2) (25+0) = 12.5 m/s

At an average speed of 12.5 m/s for 2.5s, the ball rose (12.5x2.5) = 31.25m.

(Why are the two answers different ?

Because if the ball was thrown straight up at 25 m/s, it would actually return to the thrower in 5.1 seconds, not 5.0 seconds.

So if you use the acceleration of gravity to solve the problem, you get one answer, but if you use 5.0sec to solve it, you get a slightly different one.)

The MSDS for chloroform indicates that it is a clear liquid that has a pleasant smell and substantial vapor pressure. People should avoid inhaling its vapors, and it is sensitive to light. Malik needs 10 mls of chloroform for an experiment.


According to this information, how should he safely pour the chloroform?

He should locate the chloroform stored in a transparent container in chemical storage and pour directly into his beaker from that location.

He should locate the chloroform stored in a transparent container in chemical storage and should take it to the fume hood to pour.

He should locate the chloroform stored in a dark container in chemical storage and should take it to the fume hood to pour.

He should locate the chloroform stored in a dark container in chemical storage and pour directly into his beaker from that location.

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is the third option

Explanation:

Firstly, it must be noted that chemicals/reagents that are sensitive to sunlight are stored in dark/amber container in the laboratory. Hence, the chloroform can only be found in an amber/dark bottle.

Also, reagents/chemicals that release poisonous/offensive gases are handled in the fume cupboard in the laboratory. Thus, If Malik is going to pour the chloroform, he should pour it in a fume cupboard to avoid inhaling it because of the toxicity of it's vapor.

From the above explanation, it can be deduced that Malik should locate the chloroform stored in a dark container in chemical storage and should take it to the fume hood to pour.

Answer:

He should locate the chloroform stored in a dark container in chemical storage and should take it to the fume hood to pour.

When the runner is L= 2.1 km from the finish line, a bird begins flying straight from the runner to the finish line at vb= 29.2 km/hr (4 times as fast as the runner). When the bird reaches the finish line, it turns around and flies directly back to the runner After this first encounter, the bird then turns around and flies from the runner back to the finish line, turns around again and flies back to the runner. The bird repeats the back and forth trips until the runner reaches the finish line. How far does the bird travel from the beginning (including the distance traveled to the first encounter

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Time taken by jogger to travel the distance to finishing line = 2.1 / 7.3

= .28767 hr

Bird will keep flying for this time period

distance covered by bird = speed x time

= 29.2 x .28767 km

Complete Question  

The complete question is shown on the first and second uploaded image  

Answer:

When water is used the reading is  [tex]    R =  2281.6 \  cm  [/tex]

When mercury is used the reading is [tex]   R =  23.83 \ cm [/tex]  

The best fluid to use is mercury because for water a slight change in toluene level will cause a  large change in height .

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

    The length of the leg of the manometer to the top of the tank is  d =  500cm

   The toluene level where in the tank where the height of the manometer fluid level in the open arm is equal to the height where the manometer is connected to the tank is  h =150 cm  

   The manometer reading is  R  

Generally at the point where the height of the open arm is equal to the height of the of the point connected to the tank ,  

   The pressure at the height of the both arms of the manometer corresponding to the base of the tank are equal  

     i.e   [tex]P_1 = P_2[/tex]

Here [tex]P_1[/tex] is the pressure of the manometer at the point corresponding to the base of the tank and this is mathematically represented as  

       [tex] P_{atm} + P_1 =  P_{atm} + P_t[/tex]

Here [tex]P_t[/tex] is the pressure due to the toluene level in the tank and in the arm of the manometer connected to the tank and this is mathematically represented as  

         [tex]P_t  =  \rho_t  * g  * h_i[/tex]

Here  

      [tex]\rho_t [/tex] is the density of toluene with value  [tex]\rho_t =  867 kg/m^3 [/tex]

       

 [tex]h_i[/tex] is the height of the connected arm above the point equivalent to the base of the tank , this mathematically represented as

          [tex]h_i =  d - h + R[/tex]

  and  [tex] P_2 [/tex] is the the pressure at the open arm of the manometer at the point equivalent to the base of the base of the tank and this is mathematically represented as

         [tex] P_2 =  \rho_f * g *  h_f [/tex]

Here  

       [tex]\rho_f[/tex] is the density of the fluid in use , if it is water the density is  

       [tex]\rho_w =  1000 \  kg /m^3 [/tex]

and  if it is  mercury the density is  

        [tex]\rho_m =  13600 \  kg /m^3 [/tex]

[tex]h_f[/tex] is the height of the  fluid in the open arm of the manometer from the point equivalent to the base of the tank which is equivalent the manometer reading R

So when the fluid is water we have

      [tex] P_{atm} +  \rho_t* g *(d - h + R) =  P_{atm} + \rho_f * g *  h_f[/tex]

=>   [tex]   \rho_t* (d - h + R) =   \rho_w *  h_f[/tex]        

=>   [tex]    867  (500 - 150 + R) =    1000 *  R [/tex]

=>    [tex]    R =  2281.6 \  cm  [/tex]

So when the fluid is mercury we have      

  [tex]   \rho_t* (d - h + R) =   \rho_m *  h_f[/tex]          

=>   [tex]    867  (500 - 150 + R) =   13600  *  R [/tex]  

=>   [tex]   R =  23.83 \ cm [/tex]  

The difference in the mercury reading for mercury due to the fact that they have different densities as we have seen in this calculation

So the best fluid to use is mercury because for water a slight change in toluene level will cause a  large change in height .

Work Shown:

s = starting velocity = 0

f = final velocity  = 46

d = distance = 3.5

a = acceleration = unknown (we're solving for this)

[tex]f^2 = s^2 + 2a*d \ \ \text{ ..... one of the kinematics equations}\\\\46^2 = 0^2 + 2a*3.5\\\\2116 = 7a\\\\7a = 2116\\\\a = \frac{2116}{7}\\\\a \approx 302.28571\\\\a \approx 302[/tex]

The acceleration to three sig figs is roughly 302 m/s^2

The acceleration is so large because the ball's final velocity is incredibly fast in such a short amount of time.

If two cars are 5 m apart, and one car has a mass of 2,565 kg and the other

B. 4.37 % 105 N.
C. 1.46 10-4N
D. 2.92 x 10-5 N

Answers

Gravitational force between two cars are 2.92 × 10 ⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg.

The universal force of attraction happened between two objects is called as gravitational force.

The mass of the two cars, m₁ = 2565 kg

                                            m₂ = 4264 kg

                                             r = 5m

                                            G = 6.67 ₓ 10 ⁻11 Nm²/kg

How gravitational force can be calculated?

Definition of gravitational force: The force of attraction between any two bodies is directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

                            F ∝ m₁ m₂ ÷ r²

where the force exerted between the two masses m₁ and m₂,

                            F = G (m₁ m₂) ÷ r²

where as,  F - Gravitational force between two bodies,

                 G - Gravitational constant,

                 m₁ - mass of the first body,

                m₂ - mass of the second body,

                r² - square of the distance between two bodies.

                        F= 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg ( 2565 kg × 4264 kg) ÷ ( 5²)

         Hence,

                         F = 2.92 × 10⁻⁵ N
