Answer:

25 min, 48 sec

Explanation:

Alan:

t = d/v

  = 400 mi / 46 mph = 8.70 hr

So it took Alan 8.70 hrs; from 8 am, that's 4:42 pm that he arrives.

t = d/v

  = 400 mi / 55 mph = 7.27 hr

So it took Beth 7.27 hrs; from 9 am, that's 4:16:12 that she arrives.

4:42 - 4:16:12 = 25.8 minutes = 25 minutes, 48 sec

A car traveling 90km/hr is 100 m behind a truck traveling 50km/hr. How long will it take the car to reach the truck?
AlexFokin [52]

The faster car behind is catching up/closing the gap/gaining on
the slow truck in front at the rate of (90 - 50) = 40 km/hr.

At that rate, it takes (100 m) / (40,000 m/hr) = 1/400 of an hour
to reach the truck.

(1/400 hour) x (3,600 seconds/hour) = 3600/400 = <em>9 seconds</em>, exactly

Do all objects fall at the same rate?and if they do not why?
Tema [17]
No, I heavier object will fall much faster than something lighter than it. This is because it’s more dense and hard so it can cut through the air particles quicker than a lighter object which takes longer to cut through the air and fall

Example:

A rock vs a feather
The rock will fall quicker because it’s more dense and falls straight down and the feather will be slower because it flows slowly down through the air particles

What is the magnitude of the torque about his shoulder if he holds his arm straight out to his side, parallel to the floor
const2013 [10]

Complete Question

An athlete at the gym holds a 3.0 kg steel ball in his hand. His arm is 70 cm long and has a mass of 4.0 kg. Assume, a bit unrealistically, that the athlete's arm is uniform.

What is the magnitude of the torque about his shoulder if he holds his arm straight out to his side, parallel to the floor? Include the torque due to the steel ball, as well as the torque due to the arm's weight.

Answer:

The torque is  \tau = 34.3 \  N\cdot m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass of the steel ball is  m  =  3.0 \  kg

    The length of arm is  l =  70 \ cm  = 0.7 \  m

    The mass of the arm is m_a  = 4.0 \  kg

Given that the arm of the athlete is uniform them the distance from the shoulder to the center of gravity of the arm is mathematically represented as

       r = \frac{l}{2}

=>    r = \frac{ 0.7}{2}  

=>    r = 0.35 \ m  

Generally the magnitude of torque about the athlete shoulder is mathematically represented as

      \tau =  m_a * g * r  + m * g *  L

=>    \tau =  4 * 9.8 * 0.35 + 3 * 9.8 *  0.70

=>    \tau = 34.3 \  N\cdot m
