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 ring, cylinder, solid sphere, and hollow sphere are all released from rest from the same height on an inclined surface, at the
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Explanation:

  • The expression for acceleration of the rolling body on an inclined plane is given as a = gsinФ/1 + k²/R²
  • where Ф is the angle of inclination, R is the radius, k is the radius of gyration.
  • The potential energy of the system is given as ; PE = mgh
  • The potential energy will be constant for ring, cylinder, solid sphere, and hollow sphere.
  • The total kinetic energy of the rolling body is ; KE = mv²/2 + Iw²/2
  • Hence, the total kinetic energy of the ring, cylinder, solid sphere and hollow sphere will be constant.

2. The moment of inertia of the ring is given as ;

I = mR²

The moment of inertia of the ring is maximum and therefore reaches the bottom last.
