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

Answer:

2.75 m/s^2

Explanation:

The airplane's acceleration on the runway was 2.75 m/s^2

We can find the acceleration by using the equation: a = (v-u)/t

where a is acceleration, v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, and t is time.

In this case, v is 71 m/s, u is 0 m/s, and t is 26.1 s Therefore: a = (71-0)/26.1

a = 2.75 m/s^2

In a certain two slit diffraction experiment, two slits 0.02mm wide are spaced0.2mm between centers.(a) How many fringes appear
Kamila [148]

Answer:

a)   m = 10  and    b)  λ  = 3.119 10⁻⁷ m

Explanation:

In the diffraction experiments the maximums appear due to the interference phenomenon modulated by the envelope of the diffraction phenomenon, for which to find the number of lines within the maximum diffraction center we must relate the equations of the two phenomena.

Interference equation      d sin θ = m λ

Diffraction equation         a sin θ = n λ

Where d is the width between slits (d = 0.2 mm), a is the width of each slit (a = 0.02 mm). θ is the angle, λ the wavelength, m and n  are an integer.

Let's find the relationship of these two equations

    d sin θ / a sin θ = m Lam / n Lam

The first maximum diffraction (envelope) occurs for n = 1, let's simplify

    d / a = m

Let's calculate

    m = 0.2 / 0.02

    m = 10

This means that 10 interference lines appear within the first maximum diffraction.

b) let's use the interference equation, remember that the angles must be given in radians

    θ = 0.17 ° (π rad / 180 °) = 2.97 10⁻³ rad

    d sin  θ = m λ

    λ = d sin θ / m

    λ = 0.2 10⁻³ sin (2.97 10⁻³) / 2

    λ  = 3.119 10⁻⁷ m

Humans evolved in Earth's atmosphere, therefore the pressures interior to the body are relatively close to atmospheric pressure.
harina [27]

Answer:

194516 sheets

Explanation:

So the area of each sheet of paper is:

A = 0.216 * 0.279 = 0.060264 square meters

For the paper sheet to make the same effect as the atmospheric pressure P, then the gravity F from the paper sheet must be

F = AP = 0.060264 * 101325 = 6106 N

Let g = 9.81 m/s2, then the mass of paper needed to generate that gravity is

m = F/g = 6106 / 9.81 = 622.4 kg

If each sheet has a mass of 0.0032 kg, then the total number of sheets to have that much mass is

622.4 / 0.0032 = 194516 sheets

A baseball has a mass of 0.15kg .What is the net force on the ball if it's acceleration is 40.0m/sw
kvasek [131]

By Newton's second law, we have

F=ma

So, in order to give a 0.15kg body an acceleration of 40m/s^2, you need a force of

F=0.15\cdot 40 = 6N
