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

Which electromagnetic wave has the lowest frequencies (less than 3×109 hertz)?
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Radio waves

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum includes all different types of waves, which are usually classified depending on their frequency. Ordering them from the highest frequency to the lowest frequency, they are:

- Gamma rays

- X-rays

- Ultraviolet

- Visible light

- Infrared radiation

- Microwaves

- Radio waves

Radio waves are the electromagnetic waves with lowest frequency, their frequency is lower than 300 GHz (3\cdot 10^{11} Hz) and therefore they are the electromagnetic waves with lowest energy (in fact, the energy of an electromagnetic wave is proportional to its frequency). They are generally used for radio and telecommunications since this type of waves can travel up to long distances.
