Two runners start at the same point on a straight track. The first runs with constant acceleration so that he covers 98 yards in

10 seconds. The second runner waited 5 seconds and then throws a rock at his opponent's head. Of the head and the rock are at the same level form the ground, what must the initial magnitude of the velocity be if the rock is to hit the head just at the 98 yard tape? Give the answer in feet per second.

Answer:

94.13 ft/s

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • t = time interval in which the rock hits the opponent = 10 s - 5 s = 5 s
  • s = distance to be moved by the rock long the horizontal = 98 yards
  • y = displacement to be moved by the rock during the time of flight along the vertical = 0 yard

<u>Assume:</u>

  • u = magnitude of initial velocity of the rock
  • \theta = angle of the initial velocity with the horizontal.

For the motion of the rock along the vertical during the time of flight, the rock has a constant acceleration in the vertically downward direction.

\therefore y = u\sin \theta t +\dfrac{1}{2}(-g)t^2\\\Rightarrow 0 = u\sin \theta 5 +\dfrac{1}{2}(-9.8)\times 5^2\\\Rightarrow u\sin \theta 5 =\dfrac{1}{2}(9.8)\times 5^2......(1)\\

Now the rock has zero acceleration along the horizontal. This means it has a constant velocity along the horizontal during the time of flight.

\therefore u\cos \theta t = s\\\Rightarrow u\cos \theta 5 = 98.....(2)\\

On dividing equation (1) by (2), we have

\tan \theta = \dfrac{25}{20}\\\Rightarrow \tan \theta = 1.25\\\Rightarrow \theta = \tan^{-1}1.25\\\Rightarrow \theta = 51.34^\circ

Now, putting this value in equation (2), we have

u\cos 51.34^\circ\times  5 = 98\\\Rightarrow u = \dfrac{98}{5\cos 51.34^\circ}\\\Rightarrow u =31.38\ yard/s\\\Rightarrow u =31.38\times 3\ ft/s\\\Rightarrow u =94.13\ ft/s

Hence, the initial velocity of the rock must a magnitude of 94.13 ft/s to hit the opponent exactly at 98 yards.

An investigator places a sample 1.0 cm from a wire carrying a large current; the strength of the magnetic field has a particular
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

she must increase the current by factor of 7

Explanation:

The magnetic field produced by a steady current flowing in a very long straight wire encircles the wire.In order to solve the question, we use this formula,

B= μo I/(2πr)

where,

'μo'  represents permeability of free space i.e 4π*10-7 N/A2

B=magnetic field

I= current

r=radius

->When r= 1cm=> 0.01m

B1 = μo I_{1/(2π x 0.01)

->when r=7cm =>0.07m

B2 = μo I_{2}/(2π x 0.07)

Now equating both of the magnetic fields, we have

B1= B2

μo I_{1/(2π x 0.01)= μo I_{2}/(2π x 0.07)

I_{1/  I_{2}= 0.01/0.07

I_{1/  I_{2}= 1/ 7

Therefore, she must increase the current by factor of 7

Car B has the same mass as Car A but is going twice as fast. If the same constant force brings both cars to a stop, how far will
evablogger [386]

Answer:four times

Explanation:

Given

mass of both cars A and B are same suppose m

but velocity of car B is same as of car A

Suppose velocity of car A is u

Velocity of car B is 2 u

A constant force is applied on both the cars such that they come to rest by travelling certain distance

using  to find the distance traveled

where, v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration(offered by force)

s=displacement

final velocity is zero

For car A

0-(u)^2=2\times a\times s

s_a=\frac{u^2}{2a}------1

For car B

0-(2u)^2=2\times a\times s_b

s_b=\frac{4u^2}{2a}----2

divide 1 and 2 we get

\frac{s_a}{s_b}=\frac{1}{4}

thus s_b=4\cdot s_a

distance traveled by car B is four time of car A

The distance between two successive peaks on adjacent waves is its
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

Wavelength

Explanation:

Wavelength is the distance between two corresponding consecutive phases of a waveform. It is usually represented by λ in the mathematical expressions.

A continuous propagating wave repeats its wavelength over the distance.

A wave has crest and trough with respect to time and space.

Wave is defined as a disturbance of any parameter repeated in a cyclic manner over the given time.
