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.

An orange is a common fruit that grows on citrus trees. What part of the citrus tree's flower does the orange develop from?
jekas [21]
Citrus × sinensis, orange, orange or sweet orange, is a fruit tree of the genus Citrus, which is part of the family of rutáceas. It is a medium-sized tree -even in optimum growing conditions up to 13 m in height-, perennial, with a large, round or pyramidal crown, with oval leaves between 7 and 10 cm wide and often stipulated and branches sometimes with large spines (more than 10 cm).

 Its white flowers, called azahar, are born isolated or in clusters and are extremely fragrant. Its fruit is sweet orange.

5 aplicaciones de la fuerza en tu vida cotidiana
Andrews [41]

Answer:

La fuerza es la causa que provoca cualquier cambio en el movimiento o la geometría de los cuerpos. Un cuerpo puede aceptar muchas fuerzas al mismo tiempo, cuyo resultado será en cada punto una fuerza recomendada y un par recomendado. Cuando estas fuerzas se neutralizan entre sí, se dice que el cuerpo está en un estado de equilibrio.

En lo que respecta a los cuerpos libres, la fuerza es generalmente la causa de un cambio en su estado cinético, es decir, que los acelera o ralentiza. Esto también se aplica a su rotación, que puede acelerarse o desacelerarse. Para los cuerpos que no son libres de moverse en todas las formas, es decir, aquellos que están suspendidos en algún lugar y solo pueden moverse alrededor de un punto o eje o en una trayectoria predeterminada, así como aquellos que aplican fuerzas de fricción o reacciones generales de apoyo, nosotros reducir las fuerzas en puntos característicos. En el caso de los cuerpos no libres, la fuerza es la causa que provoca su movimiento o movilidad en relación con sus puntos de apoyo o conexión, o la que provoca su intenso estado, presión o deformación. La inercia de un cuerpo libre también permite que el cuerpo se someta a una tensión, presión o deformación intensas cuando se le aplican las fuerzas correspondientes.

a horizontal force of 100N is required to push a crate across a factory floor at a constant speed. What is the net force acting
Bas_tet [7]

If the crate is moving along the floor in the same direction with a constant speed, it is in dynamic equilibrium. Equilibrium means there is no net force acting on the crate.

Since there is no net force on the crate, there must be a friction force on the crate equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the applied horizontal force. Therefore the force of friction acting on the crate is 100N.
