Answer:

30.93 m/s

Explanation:

Given that, the speed of stolen car is,

v_{s} =108km/hr\\v_{s} =108\times \frac{5}{18}m/s\\ v_{s} =30m/s

As policeman start chasing the stolen car after 60 seconds.

Now suppose the speed of policeman car is, v_{p}

The policeman catches the stolen car at a distance of,

S=60km\\S=60000m

Now the distance covered by the policeman in time t is v_{p}\times t

And the distane cover by the thief in stolen car in time(t+60s) is v_{s}\times (t+60sec).

And these distances are equal and they are equal to 60000 m.

Therefore,

v_{p}\times t=v_{s}\times (t+60sec)=60000m

Therfore,

v_{s}\times (t+60sec)=60000m\\30m/s\times (t+60sec)=60000m\\(t+60s)=2000s\\t=1940s

Now use this value to solve for minimum speed of policeman's car.

v_{p}\times 1940=60000\\v_{p}=30.93 m/s

Therefore minimum speed of policeman's car is 30.93 m/s.

Your neighbor is riding her bike around the block. When she slows down and turns a corner, what changes about her?.
Ann [662]

Answer:

nothing

Explanation:If you ride a bike around the block and return to the exact point where you started, your displacement is zero.

By definition, displacement involves changing an object from its original position. No matter how far or for how long a body moves, if it returns to the position it started from, it has not been displaced at all. This means that the body has zero displacements.
