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

Explain why nuclear fission and nuclear fusion release large amounts of energy
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Because of the formula E=mc^2

Explanation:

In this problem we are describing two different processes:

  • Nuclear fission occurs when a heavy, unstable nucleus breaks apart into two or more lighter nuclei
  • Nuclear fusion occurs when two (or more) light nuclei fuse together producing a heavier nucleus

In both cases, the total mass of the final products is smaller than the total mass of the initial nuclei.

According to Einsten's formula, this mass difference has been converted into energy, as follows:

E=\Delta mc^2

where:

E is the energy released in the reaction

\Delta m is the mass defect, the difference between the final total mass and the initial total mass

c=3.0 \cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light

From the formula, we see that the factor c^2 is a very large number, therefore even if the mass defect \Delta m is very small, nuclear fusion and nuclear fission release huge amounts of energy.

nata0808 [166]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. The proportion of carbon-14 in an organism is useful in figuring out the age of that organism after it dies because <span>the proportion of carbon-14 slowly decreases after the death of the organism. Hope this answers the question.</span>
