Answer:
a. 2v₀/a b. 2v₀/a
Explanation:
a. Since you are moving with a constant velocity v₀, the distance, s you cover in time = t max is s = v₀t.
Since the dragster starts from rest with an acceleration, a, using
s' = ut + 1/2at² where u = 0 and s' = distance moved by dragster
s' = 0t + 1/2at²
s' = 1/2at²
Since the distance moved by me and the dragster must be the same,
s = s'
v₀t. = 1/2at²
v₀t. - 1/2at² = 0
t(v₀ - 1/2at) = 0
t= 0 or v₀ - 1/2at = 0
t= 0 or v₀ = 1/2at
t= 0 or t = 2v₀/a
So the maximum time tmax = 2v₀/a
b. Since the distance covered by me to meet the dragster is s = v₀t in time, t = tmax which is also my distance from the dragster when it started. So, my distance from the dragster when it started is s = v₀(2v₀/a)
= 2v₀/a
Tides are influenced by the force of gravity exerted by the earth, moon and the sun. The sun has a larger mass than the moon and as such has a greater gravitational pull on the earth. the moon however has greater influence over the tides because they are caused by the difference in gravity fields. This means that the moon is the dominant influence due to the fact that the fractional difference in its force across the earth is greater than that seen from the sun.
Explanation:
The law of conservation of mass states that mass in an isolated system is neither created nor destroyed by chemical reactions or physical transformations. According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the products in a chemical reaction must equal the mass of the reactants.
Answer:
66.4 N
Explanation:
From Newton's second law, <em>F </em>=<em> ma</em>
where <em>F</em> is the force, <em>m</em> is the mass and <em>a</em> is the acceleration.
Because the object has acceleration in two directions and the mass is constant, the force will be in two directions. The component of the forces are:
The magnitude of the resultant force is given by
