A tortoise and hare start from rest and have a race. As the race begins, both accelerate forward. The hare accelerates uniformly

at a rate of 0.8 m/s^2 for 4.3 seconds. It then continues at a constant speed for 12.9 seconds, before getting tired and slowing down with constant acceleration coming to rest 62.0 meters from where it started. The tortoise accelerates uniformly for the entire distance, finally catching the hare just as the hare comes to a stop.
1) How fast is the hare going 3.4 seconds after it starts?
2) How fast is the hare going 11.3 seconds after it starts?
3) How far does the hare travel before it begins to slow down?
4) What is the acceleration of the hare once it begins to slow down?
5) What is the total time the hare is moving?
6) What is the acceleration of the tortoise?

Answer:

Explanation:

To solve this, we start by using one of the equations of motion. The very first one, in fact

1

V = U + at.

V = 0 + 0.8 * 3.4 = 2.72 m/s.

2.

V = 0 + 0.8 * 4.3 = 3.44 m/s.

3.

d = ½ * 0.8 * 4.3² + 3.44 * 12.9

d = 7.396 + 44.376

d = 51.77 m.

4.

d = 62 - 51.77 = 10.23 m. = Distance

traveled during deceleration.

a = (V² - Vo²) / 2d.

a = (0² - 3.44²) / 20.46

a = -11.8336 / 20.46 = -0.58 m/s²

5.

t = (V - Vo)/a =(0 - 3.44) / -0.58

t = -3.44/-.58 = 5.93 s

= Stop time.

T = 4.3 + 12.9 + 5.93 = 23.13 s. = Total

time the hare was moving.

6.

d = Vo * t + ½ * a * t² = 62 m.

0 + 0.5 * (23.13)² * a = 61

267.5a = 61

a = 61/267.5

a = 0.23 m/s²

If I have a picosecond laser how would that be expressed in terms of zeptoseconds? In terms of petaseconds?
kolbaska11 [484]
Picosecond = 10 ^ -12 seconds.
Zeptosecond = 10^ -18 seconsds
Petaseonds  =  10^15  seconds

To express Picoseconds into any of other two, you have to divide  10^-12 by the power index of the one in question

1Picosecond :   10^-12  /  10^-18 =    10^ (-12- 18) =  10^ (-12+18)= 10^6  zeptoseconds

1Picosecond :   10^-12  /  10^15 =    10^ (-12-15) =  10^-27  Petaseconds.

1Picosecond = 10^6  zeptoseconds

1Picosecond = 10^-27  Petaseconds

planet a takes one year to go around the sun at a distance of one au. .planet b is three a u. from the sun. how many years does
shtirl [24]

Answer:

3 years

Explanation:

Find the circumference of each orbit in AU.

2xπx1=6.283185307

2xπx3=18.84955592

Divide them.

18.84955592/6.283185307=3

All but two gaps within a set of Venetian blinds have been blocked off to create a double-slit system. These gaps are separated
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Explanation:

separation between two gaps, d = 5 cm

angle between central and second order maxima, θ = 0.52°

use

d Sinθ = n λ

n = 2

0.05 x Sin 0.52° = 2 x λ

λ = 2.27 x 10^-4 m

λ = 226.9 micro metre
