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

A sealed test tube traps 25.0 cm3 of air at a pressure of 1.00 atm and temperature of 18°C. The test tube’s stopper has a diamet
puteri [66]

Answer:

180° C

Explanation:

First we start by finding the area of the stopper.

A = πd²/4, where d = 1.5 cm = 0.015 m

A = 3.142 * 0.015² * ¼

A = 1.767*10^-4 m²

Next we find the force on the stopper

F = (P - P•)A, where

F = 10 N

P = pressure inside the tube,

P• = 1 atm

10 = (P - 101325) * 1.767*10^-4

P - 101325 = 10/1.767*10^-4

P - 101325 = 56593

P = 56593 + 101325

P = 157918 Pascal

Now, remember, in an ideal gas,

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2, where V is constant, then we have

P1/T1 = P2/T2, and when we substitute the values, we have

101325/(273 + 18) = 157918/ T2

101325/291 = 157918/ T2

T2 = (157918 * 291)/101325

T2 = 453 K

T2 = 453 - 273 = 180° C

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:  Atoms are electrically neutral because they have equal numbers of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged). If an atom gains or loses one or more electrons, it becomes an ion.

How many years are in a light year?
Semenov [28]
How long would it take the space shuttle to go one light-year? The shuttle orbits the Earth at about 5 miles per second (18,000 mph). Light travels at 186,000 miles per second, which is about 37,200 times faster than the shuttle. So the shuttle would need about 37,200 years to go one light-year.
