A very long train is rolling at 4 m/s along a straight track. An observer is standing on the ground very dangerously close to th

e train as moves past notices a person standing on top of a car. When the person on the car is 300 m from the observer, the person begins running toward the observer at 6 m/s.
A. Please write down the velocity vector equation for the person with respect to the ground.
B. How much time does the person take to reach the observer?

Answer:

A. \vec{r}=(6\frac{m}{s})t\ \ \hat{i}

B.  t = 50 s

Explanation:

A. The vectorial equation of the person who is getting closer to the other person is:

\vec{r}=\vec{v}t

r: position vector

v: speed vector = 6m/s i  (if you consider the motion as a horizontal motion)

Then, you replace and obtain:

\vec{r}=(6\frac{m}{s})t\ \ \hat{i}

B. The time is:

t=\frac{d}{v}

d: distance to the observer = 300m

v: speed of the person on the car = 6.00 m/s

t=\frac{300m}{6m/s}=50s

A 27.0-m steel wire and a 48.0-m copper wire are attached end to end and stretched to a tension of 145 N. Both wires have a radi
algol13

Answer:

The time taken by the wave to travel  along the combination of two wires is 458 ms.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of steel wire= 27.0 m

Length of copper wire = 48.0 m

Tension = 145 N

Radius of both wires = 0.450 mm

Density of steel wire \rho_{s}= 7.86\times10^{3}\ kg/m^{3}

Density of copper wire \rho_{c}=8.92\times10^{3}\ kg/m^3

We need to calculate the linear density of steel wire

Using formula of linear density

\mu_{s}=\rho_{s}A

\mu_{s}=\rho_{s}\times\pi r^2

Put the value into the formula

\mu_{s}=7.86\times10^{3}\times\pi\times(0.450\times10^{-3})^2

\mu_{s}=5.00\times10^{-3}\ kg/m

We need to calculate the linear density of copper wire

Using formula of linear density

\mu_{c}=\rho_{s}A

\mu_{c}=\rho_{s}\times\pi r^2

Put the value into the formula

\mu_{c}=8.92\times10^{3}\times\pi\times(0.450\times10^{-3})^2

\mu_{c}=5.67\times10^{-3}\ kg/m

We need to calculate the velocity of the wave along the steel wire

Using formula of velocity

v_{s}=\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu_{s}}}

v_{s}=\sqrt{\dfrac{145}{5.00\times10^{-3}}}

v_{s}=170.3\ m/s

We need to calculate the velocity of the wave along the steel wire

Using formula of velocity

v_{c}=\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu_{c}}}

v_{c}=\sqrt{\dfrac{145}{5.67\times10^{-3}}}

v_{c}=159.9\ m/s

We need to calculate the time taken by the wave to travel  along the combination of two wires

t=t_{s}+t_{c}

t=\dfrac{l_{s}}{v_{s}}+\dfrac{l_{c}}{v_{c}}

Put the value into the formula

t=\dfrac{27.0}{170.3}+\dfrac{48.0}{159.9}

t=0.458\ sec

t=458\ ms

Hence, The time taken by the wave to travel  along the combination of two wires is 458 ms.

                 All the processes that form mountain ranges are known as                
stepan [7]
All Mountains are built through a general process called "deformation" of the crust of the Earth. Deformation is a fancy word which could also mean "folding". An example of this kind of folding comes from the process described below. 

<span>When two sections of the Earth's lithosphere collide, rather than being subducted, where one slab of lithosphere is forced down to deeper regions of the Earth, the slabs pile into each other, causing one or both slabs can fold up like an accordion. This process elevates the crust, folds and deforms it heavily, and produces a mountain range. Mountain building and mantle subduction usually go together. </span>
