A turtle can run with a speed of 10.0 cm/s and a hare can run 20 times as fast. In a race, they both start at the same time, but

the hare stops to rest for 2.00 mins. The turtle wins by 20.0 cm. how long does the race last? What is the length of the race?

What a fantastically delightful little problem !

-- Both animals start at the sound of the starter's pistol, and the race is over
when the turtle crosses the finish line.  The duration of the race is 'S' seconds.

-- The distance covered by any moving object is (speed) x (time) .

-- The turtle runs at 10 cm/s for 'S' seconds.  He covers ' 10 S ' cm.
   That's the length of the race.

-- The wabbit stops for 2 minutes = 120 seconds.
    He runs for only (S - 120) seconds.
    His speed is (10 x 20) = 200 cm/sec.
    During the race, he covers ' 200 (S - 120) ' cm.
    That's  20 cm  less than the length of the race.    

So the grand equation is          10 S  =  200 (S - 120) + 20

Eliminate  parentheses:            10 S  =  200 S - 24,000 + 20

Combine like terms:                  10 S  =  200 S - 23,980

Subtract  10 S  from each side:      0  =  190 S - 23,980

Add  23,980  to each side:        23,980  =  190 S

Divide each side by  190 :         126.21  =  S              (rounded)

The race lasted  126.21 seconds.

In that time, the turtle ran (10 x 126.21) = 1,262.1 cm  <== the length
                                                                                                   of the race

The rabbit ran for only (126.21 - 120) = 6.21 seconds

In that time, he ran  (6.21 x 200) = 1,242 cm . . . 20 cm less than the turtle ran !

During an experiment of momentum, trolley, X, of mass (2.34 ± 0.01) kg is moving away from another trolley, Y, of mass (2.561 ±
Alla [95]

Answer:

P = 1 (14,045 ± 0.03 )  k gm/s

Explanation:

In this exercise we are asked about the uncertainty of the momentum of the two carriages

            Δ (Pₓ / Py) =?

 Let's start by finding the momentum of each vehicle

car X

        Pₓ = m vₓ

        Pₓ = 2.34 2.5

        Pₓ = 5.85 kg m

car Y

        Py = 2,561 3.2

        Py = 8,195 kgm

How do we calculate the absolute uncertainty at the two moments?

          ΔPₓ = m Δv + v Δm

          ΔPₓ = 2.34 0.01 + 2.561 0.01

          ΔPₓ = 0.05 kg m

         ΔP_{y} = m Δv + v Δm

         ΔP_{y} = 2,561 0.01+ 3.2 0.001

         ΔP_{y} = 0.03 kg m

now we have the uncertainty of each moment

          P = Pₓ / P_{y}

          ΔP = ΔPₓ/P_{y} + Pₓ ΔP_{y} / P_{y}²

          ΔP = 8,195 0.05 + 5.85 0.03 / 8,195²

          ΔP = 0.006 + 0.0026

          ΔP = 0.009 kg m

The result is

           P = 14,045 ± 0.039 = (14,045 ± 0.03 )  k gm/s

A 1.90-kg mass vibrating up and down on the end of a vertical spring has a maximum speed of 2.30 m/s. What is the total potentia
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

The answer to the question is;

The total potential energy of the mass on the spring when the mass is at either endpoint of its motion is 5.0255 Joules.

Explanation:

To answer the question, we note that the maximum speed is 2.30 m/s and the mass is 1.90 kg

Therefore the maximum kinetic energy of motion is given by

Kinetic Energy, KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}

Where,

m = Attached vibrating mass = 1.90 kg

v = velocity of the string = 2.3 m/s

Therefore Kinetic Energy, KE = \frac{1}{2}×1.9×2.3² = 5.0255 J

From the law of conservation of energy, we have the kinetic energy, during the cause of the vibration is converted to potential energy when the mass is at either endpoint of its motion

Therefore Potential Energy PE at end point = Kinetic Energy, KE at the middle of the motion

That is the total potential energy of the mass on the spring when the mass is at either endpoint of its motion is equal to the maximum kinetic energy.

Total PE = Maximum KE = 5.0255 J.

True/False: If an object stays still, but the observer moves, the Doppler Effect is still observered
Vladimir79 [104]

Well, Harry, what you said is not necessarily true the way you said it. 
But we know what you mean, and what you meant to say is true.

The Doppler effect is observed if there is relative radial motion
between an object and an observer <em><u>AND</u></em> if the object happens
to be putting out sound or light in the observer's direction.
