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 substances are acidic
Sedbober [7]
A substance with LOW pH. The lower the pH, the higher the acidity level is. pH has a direct effect on how acidic a substance is. For an example, battery acid. Battery acid has a pH level of about 1. This means that battery acid is very acidic. A substance is concidered acidic when it dips below the neutral pH level of 7.

Heather and Jerry are standing on a bridge 49 mm above a river. Heather throws a rock straight down with a speed of 17 m/sm/s .
lara [203]

Answer:

3.467 s

Explanation:

given,

distance , d = 49 mm = 0.049 m

initial speed of the of the rock, v = 17 m/s

time taken by the Heather rock to reach water

using equation of motion

s = ut +\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

taking downward as negative

-0.049 = -17 t -\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times t^2

4.9 t² + 17 t - 0.049 = 0

now,

t_1 = \dfrac{-(17)\pm \sqrt{17^2 - 4\times 4.9 \times (-0.049)}}{2\times 4.9}

t₁ = -3.47 s , 0.0028 s

rejecting negative values

t₁ = 0.0028 s

now, time taken by the ball of Jerry

using equation of motion

s = ut +\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

taking downward as negative

-0.049 = 17 t -\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times t^2

4.9 t² - 17 t - 0.049 = 0

now,

t_2 = \dfrac{-(-17)\pm \sqrt{17^2 - 4\times 4.9 \times (-0.049)}}{2\times 4.9}

t₂ = 3.47 s ,-0.0028 s

rejecting negative values

t₂ = 3.47 s

now, time elapsed is = t₂ - t₁ = 3.47 - 0.0028 = 3.467 s

Jack and George meet in the middle of a lake while paddling in their canoes. They come to a complete stop and talk for a while.
spayn [35]

Answer:

momentum =0

kinetic energy >0, positive

Explanation:

The final momentum is zero but the final kinetic energy is positive. The momentum is zero because momentum is the sum of the mass×velocity for each component. momentum is conserved

The KE is positive because KE is the sum of the 1/2×mass×velocity^2.

Whereas velocity can be positive and negative since it is (it's what makes the momentum zero because on is positive and one is negative), the velocity squared will always be positive.

Adding together two positives will always be a positive number.
