Acceleration of the both masses tied together= 6m/s²
Explanation:
The force is given by F= ma
so 5= m1 (8)
m1=0.625 Kg
for m2
5=m2 (24)
m2=0.208 kg
now total mass= m1+m2=0.625+0.208
Total mass=M=0.833 Kg
now F= ma
5= 0.833 (a)
a= 5/0.833
a=6m/s²
So,
GPE (graviational potential energy) = mass x g x height
GPE is depends on where zero height is defined. In this situation, we define h = 0 as the initial height.
The builder has gained 18.375 kJ of PE.
If you walk at a pace of 2 miles per hour for 5 hours, you should have walked 10 miles. You would be 2 miles away from your base camp.
We can approach this in another way.
We know that sin(∅) = height / hypotenuse.
Thus, for x, height is 1 and hypotenuse is 3. Using Pythagoras theorem,
3² = 1² + b²
b = √8
cos(x) = b/hypotenuse
cos(x) = √8 / 3
Now, lets consider y:
sec(y) = 1 / cos(y) = 1 / base / hypotenuse = hypotenuse / base
The hypotenuse is 25 and the base is 24. We again apply Pythagoras theorem to find the third side, which works out to be:
height = 7
sin(y) = height / hypotenuse
sin(y) = 7/25
Now, sin(x + y) =
sin(x)cos(y) + sin(y)cos(x)
= (1/3)(24/25) + (√8 / 3)(7/25)
= 8/25 + 7√8/75
= (24 + 14√2) / 75
If you only know its speed, that's not enough information to catch it. You could even chase it at DOUBLE that speed, and you'd never catch it if you were chasing in the wrong direction.
You also have to know the DIRECTION the runaway car is going, so that you can chase in the same direction.
Now that you know its speed AND direction, you know its velocity. You need that information to have any chance of catching it.
