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

Suppose your friend claims to have discovered a mysterious force in nature that acts on all particles in some region of space. H
kirill [66]

Answer:

             U = 1 / r²

Explanation:

In this exercise they do not ask for potential energy giving the expression of force, since these two quantities are related

             

         F = - dU / dr

this derivative is a gradient, that is, a directional derivative, so we must have

          dU = - F. dr

the esxresion for strength is

         F = B / r³

let's replace

          ∫ dU = - ∫ B / r³  dr

in this case the force and the displacement are parallel, therefore the scalar product is reduced to the algebraic product

let's evaluate the integrals

            U - Uo = -B (- / 2r² + 1 / 2r₀²)

To complete the calculation we must fix the energy at a point, in general the most common choice is to make the potential energy zero (Uo = 0) for when the distance is infinite (r = ∞)

             U = B / 2r²

we substitute the value of B = 2

             U = 1 / r²

An object with mass 'm' is moving in a circle of radius 'R' at a constant speed of 'v.' The acceleration of the object will INCR
xenn [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is given by the formula

a = v²/r

The acceleration of the object is bound to increase, if and only if the following are changed as well.

The mass of the object is increased,

The speed of the object is increased,

The radius of the object is contrarily decreased

Taking another look at the formula, we see that if we increase the speed of the object, it increases the acceleration. And since the radius is in the denominator, it has to be reduced for the acceleration to increase
