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.

The primary source of evidence proposed by many scientist to support the theory of an ancient earth is ____ dating.
vova2212 [387]
It depends on your definition of “ancient.” Radiometric dating using Carbon-14 can reliably date back to about 50,000 years, uranium-lead or lead-lead dating can date back multiple millions, potassium-argon dating can reach 1.5 billion, and rubidium-strontium can reach 50 billion (nearly 4x the age of the universe). It depends on the context in which this question is being asked.

Technician A says that one of advantages of a clutch brake is its ability to bring a vehicle to a halt at low speeds. Technician
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

  • The advantage of using a clutch brake is that it is capable of handling high load torque and ensures safety at high rotational speeds.
  • The motivation behind a clutch brake is to stop or slow the information shaft from turning, enabling the apparatuses to work without pounding/conflicting. This kills harm to non-synchronized transmissions, and limits the exertion required when moving from impartial into first or switch from a halt.
