You are standing at rest at a bus stop. A bus moving at a constant speed of 5.00 m/s passes you. When the rear of the bus is 12.

0 m past you, you realize that it is your bus, so you start to run toward it with a constant acceleration of 0.960 m/s 2 . (a) How far would you have to run before you catch up with the rear of the bus, and (b) how fast must you be running then? 2 (c) Would an average college student be physical able to accomplish this?

Answer:

a. 74,14 m

b. 11,93 m/s o 42,95 km/h

c. Nope. Not even on your wildest dreams.

Explanation:

So, in order to solve this situation, we must set common ground between me and the bus I plan to catch. First, we know that the bus and me are going to be on the same place at the same time if I manage to catch it. So, we choose one kinematic equation that allow us to stablish this common ground. In this case, we use the equation:

x_bus = x_0bus + v_0bus*t + 1/2 * a_bus * t^2

x_me = x_0me + v_0me*t + 1/2*a_me * t^2

We already stablished that the bus and I are going to be at the same place

x_bus = x_me, so we can match both of our equations:

x_0bus + v_0bus*t + 1/2*a_bus*t^2 = x_0me + v_0me*t + 1/2*a_me*t^2

We will fixate the reference point at my initial position, that means that x_0me = 0. Additionally, we know that the bus has constant velocity and that I started from rest. (a_bus = 0;v_0me = 0). So, we apply these conditions to our equation:

x_0bus + v_0bus*t = 1/2*a_me*t^2

What remains is a quadratic equation. We replace the values and put all the terms on one side and the equations remains like this:

1/2*0,960*t^2 - 5*t - 12 = 0

We can find the roots of the equation using the general formula of the quadratic equation:

t = (-b±√(b^2-4ac))/2a = (-(-5)±√(〖(-5)〗^2-4*(0,48)*(12)))/(2*0,48)

Solving the quadratic formula, we find two roots; t1=-2.0116 s, which is before the whole situation started and have no physical value, and t2=12.4282 s. so it would take me 12.4282 second to catch the rear of the bus.

Using the first equation we set for the bus, we have that:

x_bus = x_me = 12 m + 5m/s * (12,4282 s) = 74,14 m

This mean that I would have to run 74 m in 12.4282 seconds to catch the rear of the moving bus. To find how fast I would have to run, we use the following relation:

v_me = v_0me + a_me*t = 0 + 0,960 m/s^2 *12.4282 s = 11,93 m/s

The average human reaches a velocity of 10 km/h when they run. So there is no way I could catch that bus because:

11,93 m/s * (1 km)/(1000 m) * (3600 s)/(1 h) = 42,95 km/h

I would have to run at 42,95 km/h to do it

Let me know if there is something else I can help you with. Have a great day! :D

sam is an astronomer on planet hua, which orbits the distant star barnard. it has recently been accepted that hua is spherical i
tester [92]

There are 90 degrees directly overhead. Barnard is at 74 degrees at Sam's position, 1300.0 kilometers south. The part of the 360 degree circle that corresponds to Hua's circumference is the difference between 90 and 74, or 16 degrees. 1300.0 km is therefore 16/360 of the circle, or 0.044 times the circumference. 29.250 km is the circumference (1300 divided by 0.044). Radius divided by two gives the circumference equation. Therefore, 2r=29250 and the radius of Hua=4655.3 km

<h3>What do you mean by Astronomy?</h3>

Astronomy is a scientific science that examines celestial objects and phenomena (from the Ancient Greek "o" (astronoma), "science that investigates the laws of the stars"). In order to describe their creation and evolution, it makes use of mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Planets, moons, stars, nebulae, galaxies, and comets are among the interesting celestial bodies. Supernova explosions, gamma ray bursts, quasar, blazar, pulsar, and cosmic microwave background radiation are examples of relevant phenomena. Astronomy is the study of everything that comes from outside the atmosphere of the Earth. Astronomical cosmology is the study of the cosmos as a whole.

Burka [1]

Answer:

b) weaker

Explanation:

Hot rolled steel is generally weaker than the cold drawn steel. The yielding stress of cold rolled steel is higher than than hot rolled steel. At the same time the crystal structure remain the same in cold rolled steel. Giving it a better surface finish and closer tolerances. The strength and hardness of a cold roll steel is higher than  the hot rolled steel
