and accelerates uniformly at 1.5ms²
a) When does the bus reach the same speed as the cyclist?
b)how long does the bus take to catch the cyclist?
c) What distance has the cyclist travelled travelled before the bus catches up?​

Answer:

A.) 8 seconds

B.) 16 seconds

C.) 48 m

Explanation:

Given that a cyclist traveling at constant speed of 12 m/s

and the bus accelerates uniformly at 1.5ms²

A.) The bus has the following parameters

Acceleration a = 1.5 m/s^2

Initial velocity U = 0. Since the bus is starting from rest.

Final velocity V = 12 m/s

Use equation one of linear motion.

V = U + at

Substitute V, U and a into the formula

12 = 0 + 1.5t

1.5t = 12

t = 12/1.5

t = 8 seconds

Therefore, the bus reach the same speed as the cyclist at 8 seconds.

B.) For the cyclist moving at constant speed, acceleration a = 0. Using second equation of motion

h = Ut + 1/2at^2

Since a = 0, the equation is reduced to:

h = Ut.

Also, for the bus,

h = Ut + 1/2at^2

Equate the two equations since the h is the same

Ut = Ut + 1/2at^2

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

12t = 0 + 1/2 × 1.5t^2

12t = 0.75t^2

0.75t = 12

t = 12/0.75

t = 16 seconds

Therefore, the bus takes 16 seconds to catch the cyclist

C.) Use third equation of linear motion.

V^2 = U^2 + 2as

Where s = distance

Substitute V, U and a into the formula

12^2 = 0 + 2 × 1.5 S

144 = 3S

S = 144/3

S = 48 m

Consider a model of a hydrogen atom in which an electron is in a circular orbit of radius r = 5.92×10−11 m around a stationary p
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

2.068 x 10^6 m / s

Explanation:

radius, r = 5.92 x 10^-11 m

mass of electron, m = 9.1 x 10^-31 kg

charge of electron, q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

As the electron is revolving in a circular path, it experiences a centripetal force which is balanced by the electrostatic force between the electron and the nucleus.

centripetal force = \frac{mv^{2}}{r}

Electrostatic force = \frac{kq^{2}}{r^{2}}

where, k be the Coulombic constant, k = 9 x 10^9 Nm^2 / C^2

So, balancing both the forces we get

\frac{kq^{2}}{r^{2}}=\frac{mv^{2}}{r}

v=\sqrt{\frac{kq^{2}}{mr}}

v=\sqrt{\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 5.92\times10^{-11}}}

v = 2.068 x 10^6 m / s

Thus, the speed of the electron is give by  2.068 x 10^6 m / s.

Gravity and magnetism are both
ella [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Comment

You have to read this carefully enough that you don't mix up energy and forces.

Gravity is a force. If you don't believe me try jumping off a building. Which way are you going to go and why? Down because gravity attracts your mass.

So Magnetism must be a force as well. It acts in one direction, but not a specific one the way gravity acts). It also either attracts or repulses (pushes an object away)

jok3333 [9.3K]
<h2>It will take 0.125 seconds to reach the net.</h2>

Explanation:

Initial speed, u = 34 ft/s = 10.36 m/s

Acceleration, a = -9.81 m/s²

Displacement, s = Final height - Initial height = 8 - 4 = 4 ft = 1.22 m

We have equation of motion, s = ut + 0.5 at²

Substituting

              s = ut + 0.5 at²

              1.22 = 10.36 x t + 0.5 x -9.81 x t²

              4.905t² - 10.36 t + 1.22 = 0

              t = 1.99 s     or    t = 0.125 seconds

Minimum time is 0.125 seconds.

It will take 0.125 seconds to reach the net.

Which is a charcharacteristic of all ions?
ankoles [38]

An ion is created by the transfer of electrons. The metals give away the elections and become positively charged. The non - metals take on electrons.

Balance.

So an ion is any atom that either gives away or takes on electrons.
