Answer:
t = 12 s
Explanation:
To find the time in which the police reaches the thief you write the equation of motion of both thief and police:
The thief has a constant velocity, the position is then given by:
(1)
The police has an acceleration, then the position is:
(2)
the time in which the police reaches the thief is when their positions are equal, that is, when expression (1) equals expression (2). But before you calculate the acceleration of the police:

you replace this values in (2) and you equal the expression (1) and (2) (with vo = 0):

one root is t = 0s, but it is omitted because is the momment in which the thief pass in front of the police. The other root is:

hence, the time is 12 s
Answer:
spring constant of the spring is 1820.44 N/m
Explanation:
given data
ball mass = 4 kg
speed = 16 m/s
distance = 0.75 m
to find out
spring constant of the spring
solution
we know that kinetic energy of ball = energy store in spring as compression
so we can express it as
0.5 × m × v² = 0.5 × k × x² ....................1
so put here value we get spring constant k
m × v² = k × x²
4 × 16² = k × 0.75²
solve it we get
k = 1820.44 N/m
so spring constant of the spring is 1820.44 N/m
2.27 mps repeating.
This is the last question ill ever answer here. Thanks for being the last.
Answer:
The weight of barbell acting on a weight lifter is 80N.
Explanation:
Answer: 0.28 m/s
Let
M1 = mass of Steve
V1 = velocity of Steve
M2 = mass of can
V2 = velocity of can
Because momentum is a conserved quantity:
P1 - P2 = 0
So
M1*V1 - M2*V2 = 0
78.0kg(V1) - 2.5kg(8.7m/s) = 0
78.0(V1) = 21.75
V1= 0.28 m/s
