In a $100$ meter track event, Alice runs at a constant speed and crosses the finish line $5$ seconds before Beatrice does. If it

took Beatrice $25$ seconds to complete the race, how many seconds would it take Alice to run $50$ meters?

Answer:

10s

Explanation:

If it took Beatrice 25 seconds to complete the race

Distance = 100 meter

Beatrice speed = 100/25

                          = 4m/s

If Alice runs at a constant speed and crosses the finish line $5$ seconds, she must have completed the race in 20s (25 -5).

Her speed where constant

= 100/20

= 5 m/s

It would take Alice

= 50/5

= 10s

It would take Alice 10s to run $50$ meters.

How can astrophysicists tell whether a star is receding from or approaching earth?
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Doppler shift of the starlight

Explanation:

To predict the movement of a star, we compare the spectra of elements found in star (H, He Na etc.), first spectra which are obtained from star and second spectra from laboratory. If spectral lines of the spectra obtained from star, are shifting towards red end (called red shift) then star is going away from earth and if shifting is towards blue (called blue shift), then star is approaching the earth. This is Doppler's shift.

Two cars are raised to the same elevation on service- station lifts. If one car is twice as massive as the other, how do their p
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

The potential energy of the more massive one is twice that of the other.

Explanation:

Potential energy is given by

<em>PE</em> = <em>mgh</em>

where <em>m</em> = mass of body, <em>g</em> = acceleration of gravity and <em>h</em> = height or elevation.

For the less massive car, let the mass be m_1. Then its <em>PE</em> is

PE_1 = m_1gh

For the massive car, let the mass be m_2.  Its <em>PE</em> is

PE_2 = m_2gh

But m_2 =2m_1

\therefore PE_2 = 2m_1gh = 2(m_1gh) = 2PE_1

Hence, the potential energy of the more massive one is twice that of the other.

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

The answer  is The acceleration is double its original value.

Explanation:

<h2><u>It is because of the second trial of accelaration. Because of this, an object's acceleration doubles from its original value.</u></h2><h2><u></u></h2>

Hope this helps....

Have a nice day!!!!
