Q1: A runner is jogging in a straight line at a steady vr= 6.8 km/hr. When the runner is L= 2.4 km from the finish line, a bird

begins flying straight from the runner to the finish line at vb= 13.6 km/hr (2 times as fast as the runner). When the bird reaches the finish line, it turns around and flies directly back to the runner. What cumulative distance does the bird travel? Even though the bird is a dodo, assume that it occupies only one point in space (a “zero” length bird), travels in a straight line, and that it can turn without loss of speed. Answer in units of km. Q2: After this first encounter, the bird then turns around and flies from the runner back to the finish line, turns around again and flies back to the runner. The bird repeats the back and forth trips until the runner reaches the finish line. How far does the bird travel from the beginning (including the distance traveled to the first encounter)? Answer in units of km.

Answer:

Q1: 3.2km

Q2: 4.8K

Explanation:

Q1:

So db is the distance of bird, and dr is the distance of runner

db = 2vr  and the distance of bird is going to be 2 times greater than the runner.

formulas: db = 2vr & db = 2dr

  1. db = 2dr
  2. L + (L - x) = 2x
  3. 2L - x = 2x
  4. 2L = 3x
  5. x = \frac{2}{3}L

Insert it in x = \frac{2}{3}L

\frac{2}{3}(2.4km) = 1.6km

Now we use formula db = 2dr

  1. db = 2L - x
  2. db = 2(2.4km) - 1.6km
  3. <u>db = 3.2km</u>

Q2:

Formulas: Vr = L /Δt & Vb = db/Δt

  1. Vr = L/ Δt ⇒ Δt = \frac{L}{Vr}
  2. \frac{2.4km}{6.8km/hr}
  3. \frac{6}{17}hr

(Km cancel each other)

  1. Vb = db/Δt ⇒ db = VbΔt
  2. 13.6km/hr(\frac{6}{17}hr )
  3. <u>4.8km</u>

(hr cancel each other)

Hope it helps you :)

a 64kg skateboarder on a 2.0kg skateboard is on top of a ramp with a vertical height of 5.0 m what is the skateboarders maximum
WITCHER [35]
The formula for a kinetic energy KE of a falling body is
KE = mgh
where m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2, constant), h = height.

The total mass of a skateboader and a skateboard is 64 + 2.0 = 66 kg.

Finally,
KE = 66*9.8*5.0 = 32340 J

If wavelength and speed of a wave are 4 m and 332 m/s respectively, calculate its frequency<br>​
Furkat [3]

Explanation:

<em>Given </em>

<em>wavelength </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>4</em><em> </em><em>m</em>

<em>speed </em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>3</em><em>3</em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>m/</em><em>s</em>

<em>frequency </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>?</em>

<em>We </em><em>know </em><em>we </em><em>have </em><em>the </em><em>formula </em>

<em>wavelength</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>speed </em><em>/</em><em> </em><em>frequency </em>

<em>4</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>3</em><em>3</em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>/</em><em> </em><em>frequency </em>

<em>frequency </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>3</em><em>3</em><em>2</em><em>/</em><em>4</em>

<em>Therefore </em><em> </em><em>frequency </em><em>is </em><em>8</em><em>3</em><em> </em><em>Hertz </em><em>.</em>

What is the direction of the magnetic field if an electron moving in the positive x direction experiences a magnetic force in th
Alex787 [66]

Given :

An electron moving in the positive x direction experiences a magnetic force in the positive z direction.

To Find :

The direction of the magnetic field.

Solution :

We know, force is given by :

\vec{F}=q(\vec{v}\times \vec{B)}

Here, q = -e.

\vec{F}=(-e)(\vec{v}\times \vec{B)}\\\\\hat{k}=(-e)(\hat{i}\times \vec{B})

Now, for above condition to satisfy :

\hat{i}\times \vec{B}=-\hat{k}

So, \vec{B}=-\hat{j}

Therefore, direction of magnetic field is negative y direction.

Hence, this is the required solution.
