A sprinter has a mass of 80kg and a kinetic energy of 4000 j. What is the sprinter's speed

1 answer:

4 0

The formula of the kinetic energy is KE = 0.5*m*v^2.
Given m = 80 kg and KE = 4000 J,
4000 = 0.5*80*v^2
v^2 = 100
v = 10 m/s

A police car is located 50 feet to the side of a straight road. A red car is driving along the road in the direction of the poli

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:74.33 feet per sec

Explanation:

Given

Police car is 50 feet side of road

Red car is 140 feet up the road

Distance between them is decreasing at the rate of 70 feet per sec

From figure

$x^2+y^2=z^2$

$z=\sqrt{140^2+50^2}$

z=148.66 feet

as the red car is moving

therefore its velocity magnitude is given by

$\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$2x\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}+0=2z\frac{\mathrm{d} z}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$x\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=z\frac{\mathrm{d} z}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$140\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=148.66\times 70$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=74.33 feet\ per\ sec$

Here is the full question

Suppose there are 10,000 civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy. If the civilizations were randomly distributed throughout the disk of the galaxy, about how far (on average) would it be to the nearest civilization?

(Hint: Start by finding the area of the Milky Way's disk, assuming that it is circular and 100,000 light-years in diameter. Then find the average area per civilization, and use the distance across this area to estimate the distance between civilizations.)

Answer:

1000 light-years (ly)

Explanation:

If we go by the hint; The area of the disk can be expressed as:

$A = \pi (\frac{D}{2})^2$
