A motorist drives along a straight road at a constant speed of 15 m/s. just as she passes aparked motorcycle police officer , th

e officer starts to accelerate at 2m/s2 to over take her. assuming the officer maintains this acceleration,
a) determine the time it takes the police to reach the motorist the speed and
b) the total displacement of the officer as he overtakes the motorist

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

In being served, a tennis ball is accelerated from rest to a speed of 31.6 m/s. The average power generated during the serve is
joja [24]

Answer:

The force acting on the ball is 92.4 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the ball, u = 0

Final speed of the ball, v = 31.6 m/s

The average power generated during the serve is 2920 W. Power generated by an object is given by :

P=\dfrac{W}{t}

W is the work done, W = Fd

P=\dfrac{Fd}{t}

Since, v=\dfrac{d}{t}

So,

P=F\times v

F is the force acting on the ball

F=\dfrac{P}{v}\\\\F=\dfrac{2920\ W}{31.6\ m/s}\\\\F = 92.4\ N

So, the force acting on the ball is 92.4 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

An astronaut drops a rock from the top of a crater on the moon. When the rock is halfway down to the bottom of the crater, its s
Alexxx [7]

Answer: vf1/vf2= 1/ sqrt(2)

Explanation :on the moon no drag force so we have only the  force of gravity. aceleration is g(moon)= 1.62m/s2.the rest is basic kinematics

if the rock travels H to the bottom we can calculate velocity:

vo=0m/s (drops the rock)  , yo=0

vf*vf= vo*vo+2g(y-yo)

when the rock is halfway  y = H/2 so:

vf1*vf1=2*g*H/2 so vf1 = sqrt(gH)

when the rock reach the bottom y=H so:

vf2*vf2=2*g*H so vf2 = sqrt(2gH)

so vf1/vf2= 1/ sqrt(2)

good luck from colombia

A golf ball is released from rest from the top of a very tall building. Choose a coordinate system whose origin is at the starti
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Velocity of the ball after 3.04 (s) = 29.79 (m/s)

Explanation:

From the free fall movement we have the following formulas: Vf^{2} = Vo^{2} - 2gh and h=Vo*t - \frac{g*t^{2} }{2}, First we need to find the height to time iqual to 3.04 s using the formula: h=Vo*t - \frac{g*t^{2} }{2} and remember that golf ball was released from the rest (Vo= 0 (m/s)) so h= (0 (m/s))*(3.04 (s)) - \frac{9.8 (m/s^2)*(3.04 (s))^{2} }{2}, we get: h = -45.28 (m) with the height that we have got, now the velocity of the ball is calculate using Vf^{2} = Vo^{2} - 2gh solving for Vf, we get: Vf = \sqrt{Vo^{2}-2*g*h } replacing the values given Vf = \sqrt{(0 m/s)^{2}-2*(9.8 m/s^2)*(-45.28 m) }, so we get: Vf = 29.79 (m/s).
