You are standing at rest at a bus stop. A bus moving at a constant speed of 5.00 mm/???????? passes you. When the rear of the bu

s is12.0 mm past you, you realize that it is your bus, so you start to run toward it with a constant acceleration of 0.960 mm????????2. How far would you have to run before you catch up with the rear of the bus, and how fast must you be running then?

Answer:

You have to run 73.8 m at a speed of 11.9 m/s

Explanation:

The equation for the position of an accelerated object moving in a straight line is as follows:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

where:

x = position at time t

x0 = initial position

v0 = initial speed

t = time

a = acceleration

If the object has no acceleration, then, a = 0 and x = x0 + v · t, where v is the constant velocity.

When you catch the rear of the bus, its position and yours will be the same:

your position = position of the bus

x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t² = x0 + v · t

since you start from rest and the origin of the reference system is located at the point where you start running, x0 and v0 = 0.

The initial position of the bus will be 12.0 m because this was its position relative to you when you started running. Then:

1/2 · 0.960 m/s² · t² = 12.0 m + 5.00 m/s · t

0.480 m/s² · t² - 5.00 m/s · t - 12.0 m = 0

solving this quadratic equation:

t = 12.4 s   (The other solution is negative and therefore discarded)

Now, with this time, we can calculate your position:

x = 1/2 · a · t²

x = 1/2 · 0.960 m/s² · (12.4 s)² = 73.8 m

Your speed can be calculated with the equation for speed:

v = v0 + a · t

Since v0 = 0

v = a · t

v = 0.960 m/s² · 12.4 s = 11.9 m/s (really fast!)

Answer:

You run 74.1409 mm and you are running at 11.9311 mm/s

Explanation:

If the bus is moving at a constant speed of 5.00mm/s and you start to run when the bus pass you by 12 mm, the equation that describe the position of the bus is:

Xb = 12.0 mm + (5.00 mm/s)*t

Where t is the time in seconds.

If you start to run toward it with a constant acceleration of 0.960 mm/s2, the equation that describe your position is:

X_y=\frac{1}{2} (0.960\frac{mm}{s^{2}})*t^{2}

So, the time t when you catch up the rear of the bus is the time when Xb is equal to Xy. This is:

X_b=X_y\\12+5t=\frac{1}{2} 0.960t^{2} \\0.48t^{2}-5t-12=0

Then, solving the quadratic equation, we obtain that t is equal to 12.4282 s

So, if we replace this value of t in the equation of Xy, we obtain how far you have run before you catch up with the rear of the bus. This is:

X_y=\frac{1}{2} (0.960\frac{mm}{s^{2}})*12.4282^{2}

Xy = 74.1409 mm

Then, the equation of your velocity a time t can be write as:

Vy=0.960\frac{mm}{s^{2} }*t

So, the velocity when you catch up the rear of the bus is:

Vy=0.960\frac{mm}{s^{2} }*12.4282s

Vy = 11.9311 mm/s

solniwko [45]

Answer:

B. Geosphere

A. Biosphere

A. Atmosphere

Explanation:

Volcanic eruptions occurs within the Geosphere. The geosphere is the rock solid earth make up of rocks that extends into the deep interior.

Magma formed deep within the crust rises to elevated parts and finally erupts as lava on the surface. When they cool, they solidify to form volcanic rocks.

The volcanic eruptions affects the biosphere significantly. The biosphere is the portion of the earth where all life forms exists.

Gases and ash spewed during an eruption into the atmosphere causes severe changes to weather and leads to pollution. The atmosphere is the gaseous envelope round the earth.

Explain why a cow that touches an electric fence experiences a mild shock
Minchanka [31]
The voltage exists between the fence and the ground.  The cow is grounded. The cow is touching the ground, completing the circuit of electricity. <span>When the cow comes into contact with the fence, it becomes an electric ground which sends an electric current into the cow, through the cow, and into the ground. The pain experienced from the shock is due to the current that flows through the cow.</span>

Which of the following is a consequence of the special theory of relativity?
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

Specifically, Special Relativity showed us that space and time are not independent of one another but can be mixed into each other and therefore must be considered as the same object, which we shall denote as space-time. The consequences of space/time mixing are: time dilation. and length contraction.

Suppose a firm is producing 2,475 units of output by hiring 50 workers (W = $20 per hour) and 25 units of capital (R = $10 per h
Neko [114]

Answer

given,

firm is producing  = 2,475 units

output by hiring 50 workers W = $20 per hour

25 units of capital R = $10 per hour

marginal product of labor = 40

marginal product of capital = 25

\dfrac{MP_l}{MP_c}=\dfrac{40}{25}

\dfrac{MP_l}{MP_c}=\dfrac{8}{5}

\dfrac{W}{R}=\dfrac{20}{10}

\dfrac{W}{R}=2

\dfrac{MP_l}{MP_c} < \dfrac{W}{R}

Firm is not minimizing the cost because the firm use more capital and less labor.
