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.

A foot player runs 1.6m/s and has a KE of 790 J. What is his mass?
Mariana [72]
The equation for kinetic energy is,

Ke = (1/2)mv^2.

You're given a kinetic energy of 790 joules, and a speed of 1.6 m/s. Plugging these values into the equation, we get,

790 = (1/2)(1.6)^2(m).

Solving for m, we get,

m = (790)/(0.5(1.6)^2).

I'll let you crunch out those numbers for yourself :D

leonid [27]

155Ω

Explanation:

R = R ref ( 1 + ∝ ( T - Tref)  

where R = conduction resistance at temperature T

R ref = conductor resistance at reference temperature

∝ = temperature coefficient of resistance for conductor

T = conduction temperature in degrees Celsius

T ref = reference temperature that ∝ is specified at for the conductor material

T = 600 k - 273 k = 327 °C

Tref = 300 - 273 K = 27 °C

R = 50 Ω ( 1 + 0.007 ( 327 - 27) )

R = 155Ω
