Suppose a police officer is 1/2 mile south of an intersection, driving north towards the intersection at 40 mph. At the same tim

blagie [28]

Answer:

75.36 mph

Explanation:

The distance between the other car and the intersection is,

$x=x_{0}+V t \\ x=\frac{1}{2}+V t$

The distance between the police car and the intersection is,

$y=y_{0}+V t$

$y=\frac{1}{2}-40 t$

(Negative sign indicates that he is moving towards the intersection)

Therefore the distance between them is given by,

$z^{2}=x^{2}+y^{2}(\text { Using Phythogorous theorem })$

$z^{2}=\left(\frac{1}{2}+V t\right)^{2}+\left(\frac{1}{2}-40 t\right)^{2} \ldots \ldots \ldots(1)$

The rate of change is,

$2 z \frac{d z}{d t}=2\left(\frac{1}{2}+V t\right) V+2\left(\frac{1}{2}-40 t\right)(-40)$

$2 z \frac{d z}{d t}=V+2 V^{2} t-40+3200 t \ldots \ldots \ldots$

Now finding $z$ when $t=0,$ from (1) we have

$z^{2}=\left(\frac{1}{2}+V(0)\right)^{2}+\left(\frac{1}{2}-40(0)\right)^{2}$

$z^{2}=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{2} \\ z=\sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \approx 0.7071$

The officer's radar gun indicates 25 mph pointed at the other car then, $\frac{d z}{d t}=25$ when $t=0,$ from

From (2) we get

$2(0.7071)(25)=V+2 V^{2}(0)-40+3200(0)$

$2(0.7071)(25)=V+2 V^{2}(0)-40$

$35.36=V-40$

$V=35.36+40=75.36$

Hence the speed of the car is $75.36 mph$

Ted William drops a ball from 14.5 meter to a desk that is 1.9 meters tall. What is the final speed of the ball right before it

makkiz [27]

Answer:

15.7m/s

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we use the right motion equation.

Here, we have been given the height through which the ball drops;

Height of drop = 14.5m - 1.9m = 12.6m

The right motion equation is;

V² = U² + 2gh

V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity = 0

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

h is the height

Now insert the parameters and solve;

V² = 0² + 2 x 9.8 x 12.6

V² = 246.96

V = √246.96 = 15.7m/s

A springboard diver intending to do a somersault brings her knees and arms closer to her body during the dive. What effect does

Hoochie [10]

During the diving when a diver jumps off from platform he brings her knees and arms closer to the body

This is because when diver is in air he don't have any torque about his center of mass which shows that angular momentum of his body will remain constant during his motion in air

Now we can say product of his moment of inertia and his angular speed will remain constant always

So here if we decrease the moment of inertia of the body during our motion then angular speed will increase so that product will remain constant

and this is what the diver use during his diving

so correct answer will be

<u><em>It decreases her moment of inertia.</em></u>

You place a solid cylinder of mass M on a ramp that is inclined at an angle β to the horizontal. The coefficient of static frict

zlopas [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the frictional force required be f .

frictional force is responsible in creating rotational motion in the cylinder.

torque created by frictional force = f R

if angular acceleration be α

α = f R / I , I is moment of inertia of cylinder .

α = a / R , a is linear acceleration.

f R / I = a / R

a = f R² / I

linear acceleration a of cylinder down the slope

ma = mgsinθ - f , ( f force is acting upwards and mgsinθ is acting downwards )

mf R² / I = mgsinθ -f

f ( m R² / I + 1) = mgsinθ

f = mgsinθ / ( m R² / I + 1)

= mgsinθ / ( m R² / mk² + 1) , k is radius of gyration of cylinder.

= mgsinθ / ( R² / k² + 1)

Putting the given values

f = Mgsinβ /( R² / k² + 1)

for cylinder , R² / k² = 2

f = Mgsinβ /3
