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

An airplane has a momentum of 8.55 x 107 kg.m/s[S] and a velocity of 900 km/h[S]. Determine the mass of the airplane.
kow [346]

Answer:

342,000kg

Explanation:

p=mv

8.55*10^7 kg*m/s=m(900 km/h)

85,500,000 kg*m/s=m(900 km/h)

(85,500,000 kg*m/s)/(900 km/h)=m

Get same units.... 900km/h = 250m/s

m/s cancel in the division, you are left with just kg!!

85,500,000/250=342,000kg! That's it!

mechanical equivalent of heat Do the data for the second part of the experiment support or refute the second hypothesis
Ksivusya [100]
  • The data for the first part of the experiment support the first hypothesis.
  • As the force applied to the cart increased, the acceleration of the cart increased.
  • Since the increase in the applied force caused the increase in the cart's acceleration, force and acceleration are directly proportional to each other, which is in accordance with Newton's second law.

When we state something about the results on the basis whether the observed data supports the original hypothesis, we say that we are concluding the results.

What is the relationship between force and acceleration based on Newton's 2nd law?

Newton's second law of motion can be formally stated as follows: The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

0.250 moles of gas are in a piston.The gas does 109 J of work while 240 J of heat are added. What is the change in internal ener
irina [24]

Answer:

+131Joules

Explanation:

Energy can be expressed using below expresion.

ΔE = (q + w).........eqn(1)

q will be + be if heat is gained hence, q= 240 J

work "w" will be - ve if work is done by the system, hence w= -109 J

Then substitute into eqn(1)

Change in Internal energy=

= (240 -109 )

= +131J
