A runner makes one lap around a 200m track of 25s. What were the runners average speed and average velocity?

1 answer:

5 0

Here is the answer. In order for us to get the speed, we are just going to use the formula speed is equal to distance over time. Given that the distance s 200m and the time is 25s, this would give us the answer of 8m/sec. Hope this answers your question.

Two neutron stars are separated by a distance of 1.0 x 1012 m. They each have a mass of 1.0 x 1028 kg and a radius of 1.0 x 103

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Gravitational Potential Energy.

Gravitational potential energy can be defined as

$PE = -\frac{GMm}{R}$

As M=m, then

$PE = -\frac{Gm^2}{R}$

Where,

m = Mass

G =Gravitational Universal Constant

R = Distance /Radius

PART A) As half its initial value is u'=2u, then

$U = -\frac{2Gm^2}{R}$

$dU = -\frac{2Gm^2}{R}$

$dKE = -dU$

Therefore replacing we have that,

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 =\frac{Gm^2}{2R}$

Re-arrange to find v,

$v= \sqrt{\frac{Gm}{R}}$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{6.67*10^{-11}*1*10^{28}}{1*10^{12}}}$

$v = 816.7m/s$

Therefore the velocity when the separation has decreased to one-half its initial value is 816m/s

PART B) With a final separation distance of 2r, we have that

$2r = 2*10^3m$

Therefore

$dU = Gm^2(\frac{1}{R}-\frac{1}{2r})$

$v = \sqrt{Gm(\frac{1}{2r}-\frac{1}{R})}$

$v = \sqrt{6.67*10^{-11}*10^{28}(\frac{1}{2*10^3}-\frac{1}{10^{12}})}$

$v = 1.83*10^7m/s$

Therefore the velocity when they are about to collide is $1.83*10^7m/s$
