ear the end of a marathon race, the first two runners are separated by a distance of 45.0 m. The front runner has a velocity of

3.45 m/s, and the second a velocity of 4.25 m/s. (a) What is the velocity (in m/s) of the second runner relative to the first? m/s faster than the front runner (b) If the front runner is 250 m from the finish line, who will win the race, assuming they run at constant velocity? The first runner will win. The second runner will win. (c) What distance (in m) ahead will the winner be when she crosses the finish line? m

Answer:

a) V_{2/1}=0.8m/s

b) The second runner will win

c) d = 10.54m

Explanation:

For part (a):

V_{2/1} = V_{2} - V_{1} = 0.8m/s

For part (b) we will calculate the amount of time that takes both runners to cross the finish line:

t_{1} = \frac{X_{1}}{V_{1}}=\frac{250}{3.45}=72.46s

t_{2} = \frac{X_{2}}{V_{2}}=\frac{250+45}{4.25}=69.41s

Since it takes less time to the second runner to cross the finish line, we can say the she won the race.

For part (c), we know how much time it takes the second runner to win, so we just need the position of the first runner in that moment:

X1 = V1*t2 = 239.46m  Since the finish line was 250m away:

d = 250m - 239.46m = 10.54m

Answer:

At the time t = 0, the distance is 45m

the front runer has a velocity of 3.45 m/s, the second one has a velocity of 4.25 m/s

then the position of both runes, puting the zero of the position where the runer 1 is:

p1(t) = (3.45m/s)*t

p2(t)= (4.25m/s)*t - 45m

a) relative velocity: this is the differenceof both velocities: v2 - v1 = 4.25m/s - 3.45m/s = 0.8m/s

this means that the first runner sees the second one with a positive velocity.

b) if the first runner is 250m away from the finish line, then:

the first runner needs:

p1(t) = 250m = (3.45m/s)*t

t = (250/3.45) s = 72.5 seconds

for the runner 2

p2(t) = 250m = (4.25m/s)*t - 45m

250m + 45m = 295m = (4.25m/s)*t

(295/4.25) s = t = 69.4 seconds

So the runner 2 needs less time, this means that he will reach the finish line first

c) we know that at t= 69.4 seconds, the second runner is in the finish line, we can imput that thime in the position of the runner 1:

p1(69.4s) = (3.45m/s)*69.4s = 239.5m

and at this time, the runner 2 is already at the finish line that was 250m away from the first runner, so the distance is:

250m - 239.5m = 10.5m

Cloud [144]
The distance is the total distance she walked which is 16 meters adding the 6 meters to the corner and 10 meters to her friend's apartment. Her displacement is the distance from her original starting point so you set up a triangle with side lengths of 6 and 10 and solve for the hypotenuse which gives you a displacement of 11.66 meters.

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

The effects that certain frequencies of EMR have when absorbed by matter is explained below in complete detail.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic radiation of distinct frequencies associates with material adversely. ... Gamma rays, though commonly of somewhat greater frequency than X rays have the equivalent creation. When the power of gamma rays is consumed in material, its influence is practically indistinguishable from the outcome generated by X rays.

A kangaroo jumps straight up to a vertical height of 1.66 m. How long was it in the air before returning to Earth? Express your
Nataly [62]

Answer:

The kangaroo was 1.164s in the air before returning to Earth

Explanation:

For this we are going to use the equation of distance for an uniformly accelerated movement, that is:

x = x_{0} + V_{0}t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

Where:

x = Final distance

xo = Initial point

Vo = Initial velocity

a = Acceleration

t = time

We have the following values:

x = 1.66m      

xo = 0m (the kangaroo starts from the floor)

Vo = 0 m/s (each jump starts from the floor and from a resting position)

a = 9.8 m/s^2 (the acceleration is the one generated by the gravity of earth)

t =This is just the time it takes to the kangaoo reach the 1.66m, we don't know the value.

Now replace the values in the equation

x = x_{0} + V_{0}t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

1.66 = 0 + 0t + \frac{1}{2}9.8t^2

1.66 = 4.9t^2

\frac{1.66}{4.9}  = t^2

\sqrt{0.339} = t\\ t = 0.582s

It takes to the kangaroo 0.582s to go up and the same time to go down then the total time it is in the air before returning to earth is

t = 0.582s + 0.582s

t = 1.164s

The kangaroo was 1.164s in the air before returning to Earth
