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

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.

A penny rides on top of a piston as it undergoes vertical simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 4.0cm. If the frequency is
aniked [119]

1) At the moment of being at the top, the piston will not only tend to push the penny up but will also descend at a faster rate at which the penny can reach in 'free fall', in that short distance. Therefore, at the highest point, the penny will lose contact with the piston. Therefore the correct answer is C.

2) To solve this problem we will apply the equations related to the simple harmonic movement, hence we have that the acceleration can be defined as

a = -\omega^2 A

Where,

a = Acceleration

A = Amplitude

\omega= Angular velocity

From a reference system in which the downward acceleration is negative due to the force of gravity we will have to

a = -g

-\omega^2 A = -g

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{g}{A}}

From the definition of frequency and angular velocity we have to

\omega = 2\pi f

f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{g}{A}}

f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{9.8}{4*10^{-2}}}

f = 2.5Hz

Therefore the maximum frequency for which the penny just barely remains in place for the full cycle is 2.5Hz

A 27-g steel-jacketed bullet is fired with a velocity of 640 m/s toward a steel plate and ricochets along path CD with a velocit
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

F = - 3.56*10⁵ N

Explanation:

To attempt this question, we use the formula for the relationship between momentum and the amount of movement.

I = F t = Δp

Next, we try to find the time that the average speed in the contact is constant (v = 600m / s), so we say

v = d / t

t = d / v

Given that

m = 26 g = 26 10⁻³ kg

d = 50 mm = 50 10⁻³ m

t = d/v

t = 50 10⁻³ / 600

t = 8.33 10⁻⁵ s

F t = m v - m v₀

This is so, because the bullet bounces the speed sign after the crash is negative

F = m (v-vo) / t

F = 26*10⁻³ (-500 - 640) / 8.33*10⁻⁵

F = - 3.56*10⁵ N

The negative sign is as a result of the force exerted against the bullet

Mary was looking out of the window she saw lightening and then heard thunder a few seconds later explain why she saw lightening
alekssr [168]

Explanation:

It is based upon the fact that " The light travels faster then sound." As the speed of light is faster then the speed of sound, light travels 300,000 km per second and sound travels 1192 km per hour. That is why we observe the lightening first and hear the the sound of thunder later.

        You can do this experiment by yourself. Once you see the lightening start counting the seconds until you hear the sound of thunder.Then divide the seconds by 5, you will find out how many miles away the lightening strike was.
