Two bicyclist, originally separated by a distance of 20 miles, are each traveling at a uniform speed of 10 miles per hour toward

each other down a long straight east-west aligned road. As the bikes travel, a bumble bee flying at a uniform speed of 25 miles per hour travels from the front wheel of one bike to the other, instantaneously reversing its course each time it encounters one of the bicycle wheels. Alas, eventually the two bicycles collide, crushing the poor bumble bee between their front wheels. What distance does the bee travel before his demise?

Answer:

D = 25 miles

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we just need to know how much time it took both bicyclists to collide and that will be the same amount of time that the bee flew at 25miles per hour. With those values we could calculate the distance it traveled.

Since both bicyclists collide, we know that Xa=Xb, so:

Xa = V*t = 10*t     and    Xb = 20 - V*t = 20 - 10*t

10*t = 20 - 10*t      Solving for t:

t = 1 hour  Now we can calculate the distance for the bee:

D = Vbee * t = 25 * 1 = 25 miles

An energy storage system based on a flywheel (a rotating disk) can store a maximum of 3.7 MJ when the flywheel is rotating at 16
Likurg_2 [28]

The moment of inertia of the flywheel is 2.63 kg-m^{2}

It is given that,

The maximum energy stored on the flywheel is given as

E=3.7MJ= 3.7×10^{6} J

Angular velocity of the flywheel is 16000\frac{rev}{min} = 1675.51\frac{rad}{sec}

So to find the moment of inertia of the flywheel. The energy of a flywheel in rotational kinematics is given by :

E = \frac{1}{2}Iw^{2}

By rearranging the equation:

I = \frac{2E}{w_{2} }

I = 2.63 kg-m^{2}

Thus the moment of inertia of the flywheel is 2.63 kg-m^{2}.

an object weighs 98 n on earth. How much does it weigh on planet x where the acceleration due to gravity in 6 m/s^2
Degger [83]
60 N because 98N=mg (here g= 9.8 on earth) thus mass can be calculated which is 98/9.8 = 10kg Now,new weight with g = 6m/s^2 =m×g' (here g' is new acceleration of the new planet) = 10×6=60N
