Two cars travel westward along a straight highway, one at a constant velocity of 85 km/h, and the other at a constant velocity o

f 115 km/h.
a. assuming that both cars start at the same point, how much sooner does the faster car arrive at a destination 16 km away?
b. how far must the cars travel for the faster car to arrive 15 min before the slower car?

To solve letter a:

d1 = 85t1 = 16 km, 
85t1 = 16, 
t1 = 16 / 85 = 0.1882 h = 11.29 min. 

d2 = 115t2 = 16 km, 
115t2 = 16, 
t2 = 16 / 115 = 0.139 h = 8.35 min. 

t1 - t2 = 11.29 - 8.35 = 2.94 min. 
Car #2 arrives 2.94 minutes sooner.

To solve letter b:

15 min = 1/4 h = 0.25 h. 
d1 = d2, 
115t = 85(t + 0.25), 
115t = 85t + 21.25, 
115t - 85t = 21.25, 
30t = 21.25, 
t = 21.25 / 30 = 0.71 h, 

d = 115 * 0.71 = 81.65 km.

A person of mass m is standing on the surface of the Earth, of mass M E . What is the acceleration that the Earth experiences du
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

a_E=\dfrac{Gm}{r^2}

Explanation:

M_E = Mass of the Earth =  5.972 × 10²⁴ kg

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

r = Radius of Earth = 6371000 m

m = Mass of person

The force on the person will balance the gravitational force

M_Ea_E=\dfrac{GmM_E}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow a_E=\dfrac{Gm}{r^2}

The acceleration that the Earth will feel is a_E=\dfrac{Gm}{r^2}

how much does a bookshelf weigh if the movers are pushing it at a speed of 10 m/s^2 by applying 100 N force
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

10 kg

Explanation:

Assuming a frictionless surface, then force F=ma where F is the applied force, m is the mass and a is acceleration. Making m the subject of the formula then m=\frac {F}{a}

Substituting 100 N for the applied force F and 10 m/s^2 for acceleration a then the value of m will be m=\frac {100}{10}=10\ kgs

Therefore, in terms of kilograms, the bookshelf weighs 10 Kg
