4 0

Explanation:

Distance traveled by motorist =(15.0m/s)t

Distance traveled by policeman =1/2(2.00m/s2)t2

(a) Intercept occurs when 15.0t =t2or t=15.0s.

(b) x(officer)=1/2(2.00m/s2)t2= 225m

What is the purpose of an experiment design?
Eddi Din [679]
An experimental design is used to assign variables for testing. In contrast to a control design where nothing is changed, the experimental design allows you to test various new inputs to see how they would vary from the original results.

a runner starts from rest and has an acceleration of 3 m/s^2. How fast is she running after 1.1 seconds
grigory [225]
Acceleration x time = velocity 

Since you're given acceleration and time, just plug the values into the equation. 

3\frac{m}{s^{2}} x 1.1 s = ? 

Solve that equation, and remember your velocity should be in m/s.

in a closed system three objects have the following momentum: 11 kg* m/s, -65 kg*m/s and -100 kg m/s. the objects collide and mo
guajiro [1.7K]

Explanation:

The momentum of the three objects are as follow :

11 kg-m/s, -65 kg-m/s and -100 kg-m/s

Before collision, the momentum of the system is :

P_i=11+(-65)+(-100)\\\\P_i=-154\ kg-m/s

After collison, they move together. It means it is a case of inelastic collision. In this type of collision, the momentum of the system remains conserved.

It would mean that, after collision, momentum of the system is equal to the initial momentum.

Hence, final momentum = -154 kg-m/s.
