A roadrunner is running along a straight desert road at a constant velocity of 25 m/s. If a certain coyote wants to capture the

roadrunner using a net dropped from an overpass that is 10m high, how much time before the roadrunner is under the overpass, should the coyote drop the net? How far away from the overpass is the roadrunner when the coyote drops the net?

Answer:

t = 1.42 s and d = 35.5 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of a roadrunner is 25 m/s

A certain coyote wants to capture the roadrunner using a net dropped from an overpass that is 10 m high.

We need to find the time before the roadrunner is under the overpass and  how far away from the overpass is the roadrunner when the coyote drops the net.

d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\\text{Here, u = 0 and a = g}\\\\d=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2d}{g}} \\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 10}{9.8}} \\\\t=1.42\ s

Let d is the distance traveled. So,

d = vt

d = 25 m/s × 1.42 s

d = 35.5 m

A 3 mm inside diameter tube is placed in a fluid with a surface tension of 600 mN/m and density of 3.7 g/cm3. The contact angle
Aleks04 [339]

Answer: The height of the fluid rise is 0.01m

Explanation:

Using the equation

h = (2TcosѲ )/rpg

h= height of the fluid rise

diameter of the tube =3mm

radius of the tube= 3/2 =1.5mm=0.0015

T= surface tension = 600mN/m=0.6N/m

Ѳ = contact angle = 60^oC

p= density =3.7g/cm3= 3700kg/m3

g= acceleration due to gravity =9.8m/s2

h = ( 2*0.6*0.5)/(0.0015*3700*9.8)

h = 0.6/54.39

h= 0.01m

Therefore,the height of the fluid rise is 0.01m

A new roller coaster contains a loop-the-loop in which the car and rider are completely upside down. If the radius of the loop i
levacccp [35]

Answer:

The minimum speed must the car must be 13.13 m/s.

Explanation:

The radius of the loop is 17.6 m. We need to find the minimum speed must the car traverse the loop so that the rider does not fall out while upside down at the top.

We know that, mg be the weight of car and rider, which is equal to the centripetal force.

mg = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\v = \sqrt{rg}\\v = \sqrt{17.6\times 9.8}\\v = 13.13\ m/s\\

So, the minimum speed must the car must be 13.13 m/s.
