The time for the police car to catch up with the speeding motorist is 7.6 seconds.

<h3>What time will the police car catch up with the speeding motorist?</h3>

The police car and the motorist will cover equal distances.

Let the distance covered be d.

Distance covered by the motorist  = speed * time

time = t, speed = 30 m/s

d = 30t

Distance covered by the police car = acceleration * (time)

time = t - 2, acceleration = 5.0 m/s²

d = 5(t-2)²

d = 5(t² - 4t + 4)

d = 5t² - 20t + 20

Equating the two equations for distance

5t² - 20t + 20 = 30t

5t² - 50t + 20 = 0

Solving for t using the quadratic formula:

t = 9.6 second or 0.4 seconds

Since t > 2, t = 9.6 seconds

t - 2 = 9.6 - 2

t - 2 = 7.6 seconds

Therefore, the time for the police car to catch up with the speeding motorist is 7.6 seconds.

Two spherical shells have a common center. A -1.50 × 10-6 C charge is spread uniformly over the inner shell, which has a radius
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

a) At 0.20 m, the magnitude of the field is 675.0 kV

The direction of the field is acting outwards from the center of the charged spheres

b) At 0.10 m, the magnitude of the field is 135 kV

The direction is acting outwards from the center of the charged spheres

c) At 0.025 m

The magnitude of the field, V = -270.0 kV

The direction of the field is inwards, towards the center of the charged spheres

Explanation:

The charged spherical shell parameters are;

The charge on the inner sphere, q₁ = -1.50 × 10⁻⁶ C

The radius of the inner shell, R₁ = 0.050 m

The charge on the outer sphere, q₂ = +4.50 × 10⁻⁶ C

The radius of the outer shell, R₂ = 0.15 m

Let 'r', represent the distance at which the electric field is measured, the following relationships can be obtained;

When r < R₁ < R₂,

V = k \cdot \left( \dfrac{q_1}{R_1} + \dfrac{q_2}{R_2} \right )

When R₁ < r < R₂,

V = k \cdot \left( \dfrac{q_1}{r} + \dfrac{q_2}{R_2} \right )

When R₁ < R₂ < r,

V = k \cdot \left( \dfrac{q_1  + q_2}{r^2}  \right )

a) When r = 0.20 m, we have;

R₁ < R₂ < r, therefore

V = k \cdot \left( \dfrac{q_1  + q_2}{r^2}  \right )

By plugging in the values, we get;

V = 9 \times 10^9 \times \left( \dfrac{-1.50 \times 10^{-6} + 4.50\times 10^{-6} }{0.20^2}  \right ) = 675.0 \ kV

Therefore, the magnitude of the field, V = 675.0 kV

The direction of the field is outwards

b) When r = 0.10 m, we have;

When R₁ < r < R₂, therefore;

V = k \cdot \left( \dfrac{q_1}{r} + \dfrac{q_2}{R_2} \right )

By plugging in the values, we get;

V = 9 \times 10^9 \times \left( \dfrac{-1.50 \times 10^{-6}  }{0.10}  + \dfrac{4.50\times 10^{-6}}{0.15} \right ) = 135 \ kV

Therefore, the magnitude of the field, V = 135 kV

The direction of the field is outwards from the center

c) When r = 0.025 m, we have;

When r < R₁ < R₂, therefore;

V = k \cdot \left( \dfrac{q_1}{R_1} + \dfrac{q_2}{R_2} \right )

By plugging in the values, we get;

V = 9 \times 10^9 \times \left( \dfrac{-1.50 \times 10^{-6}  }{0.05}  + \dfrac{4.50\times 10^{-6}}{0.15} \right ) = -270 \ kV

Therefore, the magnitude of the field, V = -270.0 kV

The direction of the field is inwards, towards the center of the charged spheres.

Answer:

Water has more kinetic energy because it is liquid, as ice is harder, so it's cells can't move as much.
