a police officer parked on the side of the rode clockes a driver at a constant 130km/h (passing the stopped car). if the officer

can accelerate at 12 km/h/s, how long will it take her to catch up to the car? how fast will the polive officer be going as she comes even with the car?

Answer

given,

speed of the vehicle = 130 Km/h

officers accelerates at = 12 km/h/s

time taken by the driver to catch the vehicle = ?

at time t second

130 t = \dfrac{1}{2}at^2

260 t - 12 t^2 = 0

t (12 t - 260 )= 0

12 t =  260

t = 21.67 s

v = u + at

v = 12 × 21.67

v = 260 Km/h

Newton established his three laws of motion to do what?
marshall27 [118]
<span>Newton established his three laws of motion to understand the motion of objects in a systematic way [ same thing as all Scientists did for human's curiosity ].

His three laws of motion are as follows:

First Law: - </span><span> An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Second Law: - </span><span> The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

Third Law: - </span><span>For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

A comet of mass 1.20 × 10¹⁰kg moves in an elliptical orbit around the Sun. Its distance from the Sun ranges between 0.500 AU and
irina [24]

The eccentricity of its orbit is $$U=-2.13 \times 10^{17} \mathrm{~J} .\end{aligned}$$

<h3>What is mass?</h3>
  • Mass is a physical body's total amount of matter. It also serves as a gauge for the body's inertia or resistance to acceleration (change in velocity) in the presence of a net force. The strength of an object's gravitational pull to other bodies is also influenced by its mass.
  • The kilogram is the SI unit of mass (kg). In science and technology, a body's weight in a given reference frame is the force that causes it to accelerate at a rate equal to the local acceleration of free fall in that frame.
  • For instance, a kilogram mass weighs around 2.2 pounds at the surface of the planet. However, the same kilogram mass would weigh just about 0.8 pounds on Mars and about 5.5 pounds on Jupiter.
  • An object's mass is a crucial indicator of how much stuff it contains. Weight is a measurement of an object's gravitational pull. It is influenced by the object's location in addition to its mass. As a result, weight is a measurement of force.

The length of the semi-major axis is calculated as follows:

where, $G=6.67 \times 10^{-1} \mathrm{~m}^3 / \mathrm{kgs}$

$M=1.99 \times 10^{30} \mathrm{~kg}=$mass of sur

$m=1.20 \times 10^{10} \mathrm{~kg}$ - a mass of the comet

$$\begin{aligned}\therefore \quad \text { At aphelion, } r &=50 \times U \\&=50 \times 1.496 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~m} . \\U=-\frac{6.67 \times 10^{-11} \times \mathrm{m} 1.99 \times 10^{30} \times 1.20 \times 10^{10}}{50 \times 1.496 \times 10^{11}} \\U=-2.13 \times 10^{17} \mathrm{~J} .\end{aligned}$$

$$U=-2.13 \times 10^{17} \mathrm{~J} .\end{aligned}$$

Q15.17 Both wave intensity and gravitation obey inverse-square laws. Do they do so for the same reason?Discuss the reason for ea
s2008m [1.1K]

(a) Intensity obeys inverse square law from basis of light passing through a given surface.

(b) Gravitation obeys inverse square law from the basis of force between two masses.

(c) The maximum magnitude of the acceleration of the block is 126.75 m/s².

<h3>What is intensity?</h3>

Intensity is the ratio is ratio of power to area of a given surface.

I = P/A (W/m²)

where;

  • P is power
  • A is area
<h3>Universal gravitation law</h3>

F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

Intensity and gravitation do not obey inverse square law for same reason;

  • Intensity obeys inverse square law from basis of light passing through a given surface.
  • Gravitation obeys inverse square law from the basis of force between two masses.
<h3>Acceleration of the block</h3>

a = v²/A

a = (3.9²)/0.12

a = 126.75 m/s²

Train cars are coupled together by being bumped into one another. Suppose two loaded train cars are moving toward one another, t
NemiM [27]

Answer:

their final velocity is 0.091 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the first train, m₁ = 138,000 kg

mass of the second train, m₂ = 123,000 kg

initial velocity of the first train, u₁ = 0.288 m/s

initial velocity of the seocnd train, u₂ = -0.131 m/s (opposite direction to the first)

Let their common final velocity after been coupled = v

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

m₁u₁  +  m₂u₂ = v(m₁  +  m₂)

(138,000 x 0.288)    +    (-0.131 x 123,000)   =   v(138,000 + 123,000)

39,744   -   16,113   =  v(261,000)

23,631 = v(261,000)

v = 23,631 / 261,000

v = 0.091 m/s

Therefore, their final velocity is 0.091 m/s
