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

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

5.7141 m

Explanation:

Here the potential and kinetic energy will balance each other

mgh=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gh}

This is the initial velocity of the system and the final velocity is 0

t = Time taken = 0.04 seconds

F = Force = 18000 N

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Equation of motion

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v-u}{t}

From Newton's second law

F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=m\frac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow 18000=68\frac{0-\sqrt{2gh}}{0.04}\\\Rightarrow \frac{18000}{68}\times 0.04=-\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times h}\\\Rightarrow 10.58823=-\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times h}

Squarring both sides

112.11061=2\times 9.81\times h\\\Rightarrow h=\frac{112.11061}{2\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow h=5.7141\ m

The height from which the student fell is 5.7141 m

Which sentences describe the cyclone device?
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

✓ A cyclone device accumulates fine particulates from the air by making a dirty air stream flow in a spiral path inside a  cylindrical chamber.

✘ It consists of several long and narrow fabric filter bags suspended upside-down in a large  enclosure.

✓ When dirty air enters the chamber, the larger particulates strike the chamber wall and fall into a conical dust  hopper at the bottom.

✘ Fans blow dirt-filled air upward from the bottom of the enclosure, trapping dirt particles inside the  filter bags and releasing clean air from the top.

✓ The top of the chamber has an outlet that lets out cleaned air.

Basically, any of these choices that have the word "filter" are wrong. The point of the cyclone device is to separate the particles without the use of filters. You can tell the right answers based on the picture attached below.
