Runner A is initially 5.7 km west of a flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 8.9 km/h due east. Runner B is initia

lly 4.5 km east of the flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 7.0 km/h due west. How far are the runners from the flagpole when their paths cross? Answer in units of km.

Answer:

B meet A 0.01 km east of flagpole

Explanation:

given data

distance A = 5.7 km  west

velocity V1 = 8.9 km/h

distance B = 4.5 km  east

velocity V2 = 7 km/h

to find out

How far runners from the flagpole, when paths cross

solution

we know A and B are 5.7 + 4.5 = 10.2 km apart

and we consider here B will run distance x km for meet

so time will be for B is

time B = distance / velocity

time B = x / 7     ...................1

and

for A distance for meet = ( 10.2 - x ) km

so time A = distance / velocity

time A = ( 10.2 - x )  / 8.9      .............2

now equating equation 1 and 2

time A = time B

x / 7  =   ( 10.2 - x )  / 8.9

x = 4.490

so distance of B run for meet is 4.490 km

so distance from the flagpole when their paths cross is 4.5 - 4.490 = 0.01 km

so B meet A 0.01 km east of flagpole

A 103 kg physics professor has fallen into the Grand Canyon. Luckily, he managed to grab a branch and is now hanging 93 m below
siniylev [52]

Answer:

125.83672 seconds

Explanation:

P = Power of the horse = 1 hp = 746 W (as it is not given we have assumed the horse has the power of 1 hp)

m = Mass of professor = 103 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = Height of professor = 93 m

Work done would be equal to the potential energy

W=mgh\\\Rightarrow W=103\times 9.8\times 93\\\Rightarrow W=93874.2\ J

Power is given by

P=\frac{W}{t}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{W}{P}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{93874.2}{746}\\\Rightarrow t=125.83672\ seconds

The time taken by the horse to pull the professor is 125.83672 seconds

The midpoint M of a guitar string is pulled a distance d = 1.7 mm from equilibrium and released. Point M is observed to undergo
nlexa [21]

Answer:

ω = 380π rad/s

Explanation:

The formula for the angular frequency is the oscillation frequency f (hertz) multiplied by 2π

ω = 2πf

then

ω = 2π(190)

ω = 380π rad/s

Moving company uses a machine to raise a 900 Newton refrigerator to the second floor of a building machine consists of a single
Juliette [100K]
Mechanical advantage of a machine is the ratio of the output force over the input force or M=Fo/Fi. Since M=1, Fi=Fo, or the input force is equal to the output force. This means that to raise the refrigerator that weighs 900 N, we need the same input force of 900 N, or Fo=Fi=900 N.

Suppose you are standing at the earth's geographic north magnetic pole, the place on the earth's surface that compasses point to
Brut [27]

Answer:

It would point up.

Explanation:

Since I am at the earth's geographic north magnetic pole, the place on the earth's surface that compasses point toward, the north pole of the compass would also point towards the earth's geographic north magnetic pole, since all other compasses point toward there.

Since the compass is free to swivel in any direction, the compass would point up, since it is at the earth's geographic north magnetic pole, the place on the earth's surface that compasses point toward.

So, the compass would point up.
