A bicyclist is finishing his repair of a flat tire when a friend rides by with a constant speed of 3.6 m/s . Two seconds later t
dybincka [34]

Answer:

A) t = 7.0 s    

B) x = 25 m  

C) v = 10 m/s

Explanation:

The equations for the position and velocity of an object traveling in a straight line is given by the following expressions:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

v = v0 + a · t

Where:

x = position at time t

x0 = initial position

v0 = initial velocity

t = time

a = acceleration

v = velocity at time t

A)When both friends meet, their position is the same:

x bicyclist = x friend

x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t² = x0 + v · t

If we place the center of the frame of reference at the point when the bicyclist starts following his friend, the initial position of the bicyclist will be 0, and the initial position of the friend will be his position after 2 s:

Position of the friend after 2 s:

x = v · t

x = 3.6 m/s · 2 s = 7.2 m

Then:

1/2 · a · t² = x0 + v · t       v0 of the bicyclist is 0 because he starts from rest.

1/2 · 2.0 m/s² · t² = 7.2 m + 3.6 m/s · t

1  m/s² · t² - 3.6 m/s · t - 7.2 m = 0

Solving the quadratic equation:

t = 5.0 s

It takes the bicyclist (5.0 s + 2.0 s) 7.0 s to catch his friend after he passes him.

B) Using the equation for the position, we can calculate the traveled distance. We can use the equation for the position of the friend, who traveled over 7.0 s.

x = v · t

x = 3.6 m/s · 7.0 s = 25 m

(we would have obtained the same result if we would have used the equation for the position of the bicyclist)

C) Using the equation of velocity:

v = a · t

v = 2.0 m/s² · 5.0 s = 10 m/s

A railroad car of mass 2.52 104 kg is moving with a speed of 3.86 m/s. It collides and couples with three other coupled railroad
aleksley [76]

Answer:

a)   v = 2.4125 m / s  , b)  Em_{f} / Em₀ = 0.89

Explanation:

a) This is an inelastic crash problem, the system is made up of the four carriages, so the forces during the crash are internal and the moment is conserved

Initial

          p₀ = m v₁ + 3 m v₂

Final

         p_{f} = (4 m) v

        p₀ =p_{f}

        m (v₁ + 3 v₂) = 4 m v

        v = (v₁ +3 v₂) / 4

Let's calculate

       v = (3.86 + 3 1.93) / 4

       v = 2.4125 m / s

b) the initial mechanical energy is

       Em₀ = K₁ + 3 K₂

       Em₀ = ½ m v₁² + ½ 3m v₂²

       

The final mechanical energy

         Em_{f} = K

         Em_{f} = ½ 4 m v²

The fraction of energy lost is

          Em_{f} / Em₀ = ½ 4m v² / ½ m (v₁² +3 v₂²)

          Em_{f} / Em₀ = 4 v₂ / (v₁² + 3 v₂²)

          Em_{f} / Em₀ = 4 2.4125² / (3.86² + 3 1.93²)

          Em_{f} / em₀ = 23.28 / 26.07

          Em_{f} / Em₀ = 0.89

How can an electric current produce a magnetic field
anygoal [31]

Answer:

When the compass is placed below the wire, and the electric current switched on, the needle deflects in the opposite direction. If an electric current is passed through a long coil of wire (a solenoid ) a magnetic field is produced which is the same shape as that of a bar magnet.
