As relay runner A enters the 65-ft-long exchange zone with a speed of 30 ft/s, he begins to slow down. He hands the baton to run

ner B 2.5 s later as they leave the exchange zone with the same veloc- ity. Determine (a) the uniform acceleration of each of the runners, (b) when runner B should begin to run.

Answer:

a_a = -3.2 ft/s^2   ,   a_b = 3.723 ft/s^2

t = 5.909 s

Explanation:

Given:

  - Initial velocity of A v_i,a = 30 ft /s

  - Initial distance s_o = 0

  - Length of the exchange zone s_f = 65 ft

  - Time taken t = 2.5 s

Start out by A's velocity as he gets to the end of the exchange zone.

Part a

Runner A decelerates at a uniform rate, so you can use the equation:

                           s_f = s_o + v_i,a*t + 0.5a_a*t^2

                        65 = 0 + 30*2.5 + 0.5*a_a*2.5^2

                                   a_a = -20 / 2.5^2

                                   a _a= -3.2 ft/s^2    

Runner B accelerates at v_f,a as final velocity at a uniform rate, so you can use the equation:

                              v_f,b^2 - v_i,b^2  = 2*a_b*s

                              a_b = (30 -3.2*2.5)^2 /2*65

                                   a_b = 3.723 ft/s^2

Part b

When Runner B should begin running:

                                t = (v_f,b - v_i,b) / a_b

                               t = (30 - 3.2*2.5) / 3.723

                                        t = 5.909 s

2. A 20 cm object is placed 10cm in front of a convex lens of focal length 5cm. Calculate
adoni [48]

Answer:

<u> </u><u>»</u><u> </u><u>Image</u><u> </u><u>distance</u><u> </u><u>:</u>

{ \tt{ \frac{1}{v}  +  \frac{1}{u} =  \frac{1}{f}  }} \\

  • v is image distance
  • u is object distance, u is 10 cm
  • f is focal length, f is 5 cm

{ \tt{ \frac{1}{v} +  \frac{1}{10} =  \frac{1}{5}   }} \\  \\  { \tt{ \frac{1}{v}  =  \frac{1}{10} }} \\  \\ { \tt{v = 10}} \\  \\ { \underline{ \underline{ \pmb{ \red{ \: image \: distance \: is \: 10 \: cm \:  \: }}}}}

<u> </u><u>»</u><u> </u><u>Magnification</u><u> </u><u>:</u>

• Let's derive this formula from the lens formula:

{ \tt{ \frac{1}{v}  +  \frac{1}{u} =  \frac{1}{f}  }} \\

» Multiply throughout by fv

{ \tt{fv( \frac{1}{v} +  \frac{1}{u} ) = fv( \frac{1}{f}  )}} \\   \\ { \tt{ \frac{fv}{v}  +  \frac{fv}{u}  =  \frac{fv}{f} }} \\  \\  { \tt{f + f( \frac{v}{u} ) = v}}

• But we know that, v/u is M

{ \tt{f + fM = v}} \\  { \tt{f(1 +M) = v }} \\ { \tt{1 +M =  \frac{v}{f}  }} \\  \\ { \boxed{ \mathfrak{formular :  } \: { \tt{ M =  \frac{v}{f}  - 1 }}}}

  • v is image distance, v is 10 cm
  • f is focal length, f is 5 cm
  • M is magnification.

{ \tt{M =  \frac{10}{5} - 1 }} \\  \\ { \tt{M = 5 - 1}} \\  \\ { \underline{ \underline{ \pmb{ \red{ \: magnification \: is \: 4}}}}}

<u> </u><u>»</u><u> </u><u>Nature</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>Image</u><u> </u><u>:</u>

  • Image is magnified
  • Image is erect or upright
  • Image is inverted
  • Image distance is identical to object distance.

An insulated thermos contains 106.0 cm3 of hot coffee at a temperature of 80.0 °C. You put in 11.0 g of ice cube at its melting
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

the final temperature is T f = 64.977 ° C≈ 65°C

Explanation:

Since the thermus is insulated, the heat absorbed by the ice is the heat released by the coffee. Thus:

Q coffee + Q ice = Q surroundings =0 (insulated)

We also know that the ice at its melting point , that is 0 °C ( assuming that the thermus is at atmospheric pressure= 1 atm , and has an insignificant amount of impurities ).

The heat released by coffee is sensible heat : Q = m * c * (T final - T initial)

The heat absorbed by ice is latent heat and sensible heat : Q = m * L + m * c * (T final - T initial)

therefore

m co * c co * (T fco - T ico) + m ice * L + m ice * c wat  * (T fwa - T iwa) = 0

assuming specific heat capacity of coffee is approximately the one of water c co = c wa = 4.186 J/g°C and the density of coffee is the same as water

d co = dw = 1 gr/cm³

therefore m co = d co * V co = 1 gr / cm³ * 106 cm³ = 106 gr

m co * c wat * (T f  - T ico) + m ice * L + m ice * c wat  * (T f - T iwa) = 0

m co * c wat * T f+ m ice * c wat  * T f  = m ice * c wat  * T iwa  + m co * c wat * Tico -m ice * L

T f  = (m ice * c wat  * T iwa  + m co * c wat * Tico -m ice * L ) /( m co * c wat * + m ice * c wat )

replacing values

T f = (11 g * 4.186 J/g°C * 0°C +  106 g * 4.186 J/g°C*80°C - 11 g * 334 J/gr) / ( 11 g * 4.186 J/g°C +  106 g * 4.186 J/g°C* ) = 64,977 ° C

T f = 64.977 ° C
