Arthur and Betty start walking toward each other when they are 100 m apart. Arthur has a speed of 3.0 m/s and Betty has a speed

of 2.0 m/s. Their dog, Spot, starts by Arthur's side at the same time and runs back and forth between them at 5.0 m/s. By the time Arthur and Betty meet, what distance has Spot run?

Let t be the time they both meet. When they meet they both have covered the distance between them.

Arthur with 3 m/s would have covered 3t m
Betty with 2 m/s would have covered 2t m

3t + 2t = 100
5t = 100
t = 100/5
t = 20 seconds.

Spot who is helplessly runing back and forth at 5 m/s would have done this for 20 seconds.

This distance covered by spot = 5m/s * 20s = 100m

The distance Spot has traveled is 100 m

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Acceleration is rate of change of velocity.

$\large {\boxed {a = \frac{v - u}{t} } }$

$\large {\boxed {d = \frac{v + u}{2}~t } }$

<em>a = acceleration ( m/s² )</em>

<em>v = final velocity ( m/s )</em>

<em>u = initial velocity ( m/s )</em>

<em>t = time taken ( s )</em>

<em>d = distance ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

<u>Given:</u>

distance = d = 100 m

Arthur's speed = v₁ = 3.0 m/s

Betty's speed = v₂ = 2.0 m/s

Spot's speed = v = 5.0 m/s

<u>Unknown:</u>

Spot's distance = s = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

At first we will find time when the two of them meet.

$\text {Arthur's distance + Betty's Distance} = 100 ~ m$

$v_1t + v_2t = 100$

$3t + 2t = 100$

$5t = 100$

$t = 100 \div 5$

$\boxed {t = 20 ~ seconds}$

Because Spot runs back and forth until these two people meet, then:

$\text {Spot's Distance} = vt$

$\text {Spot's Distance} = 5(20)$

$\large {\boxed {\text {Spot's Distance} = 100 ~ m} }$

A car travels from point A to point B, moving in the same direction but with a non-constant speed. The first half of the distanc

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

From A to B

distance traveled with velocity $v_1$ in time $t_1$

$\frac{d}{2}=v_1t_1----1$

from B to C

distance traveled is 0.5 d with $v_2$ and $v_3$ velocity for half-half time

$\frac{d}{2}=\frac{v_2t_2}{2}+\frac{v_3t_3}{2}----2$

divide 1 and 2 we get

$\frac{1}{1}=\frac{2v_1t_1}{v_2t_2+v_3t_3}$

$\frac{t_1}{t_2}=\frac{v_2+v_3}{2v_1}$

Now average velocity is given by

$v_{avg}=\frac{d}{t_1+t_2}$

taking $t_1$ common

$v_{avg}=\frac{2v_1t_1}{t_1(1+\frac{t_2}{t_1})}$

$v_{avg}=\frac{2v_1}{1+\frac{2v_1}{v_2+v_3}}$

$v_{avg}=\frac{2v_1(v_2+v_3)}{2v_1+v_2+v_3}$

The solution to the question above is explained below:

Explanation:

For which solid is the lumped system analysis more likely to be applicable?

<u>Answer</u>

The lumped system analysis is more likely to be applicable for the body cooled naturally.

<em>Question :Why?</em>

<u>Answer</u>

Biot number is proportional to the convection heat transfer coefficient, and it is proportional to the air velocity. When Biot no is less than 0.1 in the case of natural convection, then lumped analysis can be applied.

<u>Further explanations:</u>

Heat is a form of energy.

Heat transfer describes the flow of heat across the boundary of a system due to temperature differences and the subsequent temperature distribution and changes. There are three different ways the heat can transfer: conduction, convection, or radiation.

Heat transfer analysis which utilizes this idealization is known as the lumped system analysis.

The Biot number is a criterion dimensionless quantity used in heat transfer calculations which gives a direct indication of the relative importance of conduction and convection in determining the temperature history of a body being heated or cooled by convection at its surface. In heat transfer analysis, some bodies are observed to behave like a "lump" whose entire body temperature remains essentially uniform at all times during a heat transfer process.

Conduction is the transfer of energy in the form of heat or electricity from one atom to another within an object and conduction of heat occurs when molecules increase in temperature.

Convection is a transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid. Convection occurs within liquids and gases between areas of different temperature.

A charge of q= +15 uC moves in a Northeast direction with a speed 5 m/s, 25 degrees East of a magnetic field, pointing North, wi

grin007 [14]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Magnitude of charge, $q=15\ \mu C=15\times 10^{-6}\ C$

It moves in northeast direction with a speed of 5 m/s, 25 degrees East of a magnetic field.

Magnetic field, $B=0.08\ j$

Velocity, $v=(5\ cos25)i+(5\ sin25)j$

$v=[(4.53)i+(2.11)j]\ m/s$

We need to find the magnitude of force on the charge. Magnetic force is given by :

$F=q(v\times B)$

$F=15\times 10^{-6}[(4.53i+2.11j)\times 0.08\ j]$

<em>Since</em>, $i\times j=k\ and\ j\times j=0$

$F=15\times 10^{-6}[(4.53i)\times (0.08)\ j]$

$F=0.00000543\ kN$

$F=5.43\times 10^{-6}\ kN$

So, the force acting on the charge is $5.43\times 10^{-6}\ kN$ and is moving in positive z axis. Hence, this is the required solution.
