In a 400-m relay race the anchorman (the person who runs the last 100 m) for team A can run 100 m in 9.8 s. His rival, the ancho

rman for team B, can cover 100 m in 10.1 s. What is the largest lead the team B runner can have when the team A runner starts the final leg of the race, in order that the team A runner not lose the race?

Answer:

largest lead = 3 m

Explanation:

Basically, this problem is about what is the largest possible distance anchorman for team B can have over the anchorman for team A when the final leg started that anchorman for team A won the race. This show that anchorman for team A must have higher velocity than anchorman for team B to won the race as at the starting of final leg team B runner leads the team A runner.

So, first we need to calculate the velocities of both the anchorman  

given data:

Distance = d = 100 m

Time arrival for A = 9.8 s

Time arrival for B = 10.1 s

Velocity of anchorman A = D / Time arrival for A

=100/ 9.8 = 10.2 m/s

Velocity of anchorman B = D / Time arrival for B

=100/10.1 = 9.9 m/s

As speed of anchorman A is greater than anchorman B. So, anchorman A complete the race first than anchorman B. So, anchorman B covered lower distance than anchorman A. So to calculate the covered distance during time 9.8 s for B runner, we use

d = vt

= 9.9 x 9.8 = 97 m  

So, during the same time interval, anchorman A covered 100 m distance which is greater than anchorman B distance which is 97 m.

largest lead = 100 - 97 = 3 m

So if his lead no more than 3 m anchorman A win the race.

What is the relationship between the size of a predator population and the size of a prey population
Contact [7]
<span>Let's put it this way. Say you have a killer-whale and a penguin. Killer-whales are major predators to penguins. Now, say the killer-whale population increases. The penguins would be eaten more by the killer-whales, then causing a population decrease for the penguins. If the population decreases, they're won't be enough penguins, and they most likely will become extinct, as well as causing a population decrease for the killer-whales as well. Whereas, vis versa, they're were a killer-whale population decrease. The penguins would be less hunted, therefore, creating a population increase for the penguins.</span>

If you were to walk with a speed if 2m/s for 2 hours how far would you travel
olga nikolaevna [1]
So simply it to 120m/m for 120 minutes. So then you multiply 120x120 and that equals 14,400

25 points and i will give brainliest +5 star rating to a correct a correct answer!!!!
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

1.97 * 10^8 m/s

Explanation:

Given that:

n = 1.52

Recall : speed of light (c) = 3 * 10^8 m/s

Speed (v) of light in glass:

v = speed of light / n

v = (3 * 10^8) / 1.52

v = 1.9736 * 10^8

Hence, speed of light in glass :

v = 1.97 * 10^8 m/s

A classroom is about 3 meters high, 20 meters wide and 30 meters long. If the density of air is 1.29 kg/m3, what is the mass of
Deffense [45]

Answer:

the mass of the air in the classroom = 2322 kg

Explanation:

given:

A classroom is about 3 meters high, 20 meters wide and 30 meters long.

If the density of air is 1.29 kg/m3

find:

what is the mass of the air in the classroom?

density = mass / volume

where mass (m) = 1.29 kg/m³

volume = 3m x 20m x 30m = 1800 m³

plugin values into the formula

  1.29 kg/m³   =  <u>      mass    </u>

                             1800 m³

mass =  1.29 kg/m³  ( 1800 m³ )

mass = 2322 kg

therefore,

the mass of the air in the classroom = 2322 kg
