Suppose two cars depart from a four-way intersection at the same time, one heading north and the other heading west. The car hea

ding north travels at the steady speed of 40 ft/sec and the car heading west travels at the steady speed of 66 ft/sec. (a) Find an expression for the distance between the two cars after t seconds. (Round your coefficients to one decimal place as needed.) 77.2t ft (b) Find the distance in miles between the two cars after 2 hours 45 minutes. (Round your answer to one decimal place.) 2 mi (c) When are the two cars 1 mile apart? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

Answer:

Explanation:

The cars are moving away from the intersection at 90° from each other. The motion can be considered a right angled triangle with perpendicular and base being the speeds of the 2 cars. The hypotenuse is the linear distance between them. By Pytagoras theorem:

a) Distance=\sqrt{a^{2}t + b^{2}t  } where a and b are the speeds of 2 cars.

Distance = \sqrt{40^{2}t + 66^{2}t }=77.2t feet/second

b) Time = 2 hours 45 minutes; Convert this into seconds to get 9900 seconds. The distance formula will give distance in feet so we will divide it by 5280 to get miles

Distance= (77.2*9900)/5280 = 144.8 miles

c) 1 Miles = 5280 feet.

5280=77.2t;

Time=68.4 seconds;

The 2 cars are 1 miles apart after 68.4 seconds.

A catapult launches a test rocket vertically upward from a well, giving the rocket an initial speed of 80.6 m/s at ground level.
kow [346]

Before the engines fail, the rocket's altitude at time <em>t</em> is given by

y_1(t)=\left(80.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t+\dfrac12\left(3.90\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2

and its velocity is

v_1(t)=80.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}+\left(3.90\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t

The rocket then reaches an altitude of 1150 m at time <em>t</em> such that

1150\,\mathrm m=\left(80.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t+\dfrac12\left(3.90\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2

Solve for <em>t</em> to find this time to be

t=11.2\,\mathrm s

At this time, the rocket attains a velocity of

v_1(11.2\,\mathrm s)=124\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

When it's in freefall, the rocket's altitude is given by

y_2(t)=1150\,\mathrm m+\left(124\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2

where g=9.80\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2} is the acceleration due to gravity, and its velocity is

v_2(t)=124\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}-gt

(a) After the first 11.2 s of flight, the rocket is in the air for as long as it takes for y_2(t) to reach 0:

1150\,\mathrm m+\left(124\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2=0\implies t=32.6\,\mathrm s

So the rocket is in motion for a total of 11.2 s + 32.6 s = 43.4 s.

(b) Recall that

{v_f}^2-{v_i}^2=2a\Delta y

where v_f and v_i denote final and initial velocities, respecitively, a denotes acceleration, and \Delta y the difference in altitudes over some time interval. At its maximum height, the rocket has zero velocity. After the engines fail, the rocket will keep moving upward for a little while before it starts to fall to the ground, which means y_2 will contain the information we need to find the maximum height.

-\left(124\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2=-2g(y_{\rm max}-1150\,\mathrm m)

Solve for y_{\rm max} and we find that the rocket reaches a maximum altitude of about 1930 m.

(c) In part (a), we found the time it takes for the rocket to hit the ground (relative to y_2(t)) to be about 32.6 s. Plug this into v_2(t) to find the velocity before it crashes:

v_2(32.6\,\mathrm s)=-196\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}

That is, the rocket has a velocity of 196 m/s in the downward direction as it hits the ground.

A bird sits on a high-voltage power line with its feet 3.87 cm apart. The wire is made from aluminum, is 2.11 cm in diameter, an
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

ΔV=0.484mV

Explanation:

The potential difference across the end of conductor that obeys Ohms law:

ΔV=IR

Where I is current

R is resistance

The resistance of a cylindrical conductor is related to its resistivity p,Length L and cross section area A

R=(pL)/A

Given data

Length L=3.87 cm =0.0387m

Diameter d=2.11 cm =0.0211 m

Current I=165 A

Resistivity of aluminum p=2.65×10⁻⁸ ohms

So

ΔV=IR

=I(\frac{pL}{A})\\ =I(\frac{pL}{\pi r^{2} } )\\=I(\frac{pL}{\pi (d/2)^{2} } )\\=165A((\frac{(2.65*10^{-8})(0.0387m)}{\pi (0.0211m/2)^{2} } ))\\=4.84*10^{-4}V

ΔV=0.484mV
