Two cyclists start on a race between points A and D on two different routes. Cyclist X takes the route passing through the equid

istant points A-B-C-D, each separated by a distance of 200 meters. Cyclist Y takes the direct route AD, which has a total length of 546.41 meters. Both cyclists reach the end point in 30 seconds. Calculate the displacement and average velocities of cyclists X and Y.

The displacement is the shortest distance between two points, which is 546.41. The displacement for both is 546.41 meters

Average velocity of X = (200 + 200 + 200) / 30
Average velocity of X = 20 m/s

Average velocity of Y = 546.41 / 30 = 18.2 m/s

For cyclist X, the displacement is 546.41 meters.

The velocity is the displacement ÷ time = 546.41 ÷ 30 = 18.21 meters/second.

For cyclist Y, the displacement is also 546.1 meters.

The velocity is displacement ÷ time = 546.1 ÷ 30 = 18.21 meters/second.

Although cyclist X and cyclist Y have traveled different distances in same time interval, their velocities and displacements are same.

A car moving at 95 km/h passes a 1.00-km-long train traveling in the same direction on a track that isparallel to the road. If t
victus00 [196]

Answer:

Time to pass the train=0.05 h

How far the car traveled in this time=4.75 Km

Explanation:

We have that the train and the car are moving in the same direction, the difference between the speed of the vehicles is:

\Delta V=V_{car}-V_{train}=95km/h-75km/h=20km/h

We will use this difference in the speed of the car an train to calculate how much time take the car to pass the train. For this we have that the train is 1km long and the car is moving with a speed of 20km/h (we use this value because is the speed that the car have in advantage of the train) then for a movement with a constant speed we have:

V=\dfrac{x}{t}

Where x is the distance, t is the time and v is the speed. using the data that we have:

V=\dfrac{x}{t}=\dfrac{1km}{20km/h}=0.05h

This is the time that the car take to pass the train. Now to calculate how far the car have traveled in this time we have to considered the speed of 95Km/h of the car, then:

V=\dfrac{x}{t}\\x=v\cdot t\\x=95km/h\cdot 0.05h\\x=4.75km

A body weighing 250 grams was dropped from a helicopter flying at an altitude of 100 meters. Determine the potential energy of t
kogti [31]

Answer:

the potential energy of this body is 245 J.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the body, m = 250 g = 0.25 kg

height from which the body was dropped, h = 100 m

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

The potential energy of this body is calculated as;

P.E = mgh

substitute the given values and solve for the potential energy of this body;

P.E = 0.25 x 9.8 x 100

P.E = 245 J.

Therefore, the potential energy of this body is 245 J.

A 0.300 kg ball, moving with a speed of 2.5 m/s, has a head-on collision with at 0.600 kg ball initially at rest. Assuming a per
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

1.25 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of first ball=0.3 kg

Its speed before collision=2.5 m/s

Its speed after collision=2 m/s

Mass of second ball=0.6 kg

Momentum of 1st ball=mass of the ball*velocity

=0.3kg*2.5m/s

=0.75 kg m/s

Momentum of 2nd ball=mass of the ball*velocity

=0.6 kg*velocity of 2nd ball

Since the first ball undergoes head on collision with the second ball,

momentum of first ball=momentum of second ball

0.75 kg m/s=0.6 kg*velocity of 2nd ball

Velocity of 2nd ball=0.75 kg m/s ÷ 0.6 kg

=1.25 m/s

A uranium ion and an iron ion are separated by a distance of =61.10 nm. The uranium atom is singly ionized; the iron atom is dou
scoray [572]

Answer:

Explanation:

Charge on uranium ion = charge of a single electron

= 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

charge on doubly ionised iron atom = charge of 2 electron

= 2 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C = 3.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

Let the required distance from uranium ion be d .

force on electron at distance d from uranium ion

= 9 x 10⁹ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ / r²

force on electron at distance 61.10 x 10⁻⁹ - r from iron  ion

= 9 x 10⁹ x 3.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ / (61.10 x 10⁻⁹ - r )²

For equilibrium ,

9 x 10⁹ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ / r² = 9 x 10⁹ x 3.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ / (61.10 x 10⁻⁹ - r )²

2 d² = (61.10 x 10⁻⁹ - r )²

1.414 r = 61.10 x 10⁻⁹ - r

2.414 r = 61.10 x 10⁻⁹

r = 25.31 nm .
