A tortoise and a hare engage in a race. A tortoise can run with a speed of 0.15 m/s. A hare can run 25 times as fast as the tort

oise. In the race, they start at the same time; however, the hare being very proud of his much higher speed stops for a nap for 5.0 minutes. The tortoise wins the race by 35 cm. (a) What is the length of the race? (b) How long does the race take?

Answer:

Explanation:

The speed of hare = .15 x 25 = 3.75 m /s . Let tortoise took t second to complete the race .

Distance traveled by it = .15 t

Distance traveled by hare = .15 t - .35 m

Time taken by hare to complete this distance

=  t - 5 x 60 s

Speed of hare

= Distance / time

( .15t-.35 ) / t - 300 , so

\frac{.15t-.35}{t-300} = 3.75

t = 312.40

= 5 minutes 12.4 seconds

Distance of race

312.4 x speed of tortoise

= 312.4 x .15

= 46.85 m

Hitting a home run in baseball is difficult, because it requires a lot of force. Most home runs are hit off of fastballs. Which
OLga [1]

The impact force makes sense because the impulse experienced by the body cause a great change in momentum of the body.

<h3 /><h3>What is impulse?</h3>

This is the force that acts on a body over a given period of time. The impulse experienced by a body is determined as the product of force and time of action.

J = Ft

The change in momentum of a body is equal to the impulse experienced by the body.

ΔP = Ft

Thus, the impact force makes sense because the impulse experienced by the body cause a great change in momentum of the body.

A mass of 5kg starts from rest and pulls down vertically on a string wound around a disk-shaped, massive pulley. The mass of the
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

1.98 m/s

Explanation:

To solve this, we would be using the law of conservation of energy, i.e total initial energy is equal to total final energy.

E(i) = E(f)

mgh = ½Iw² + ½mv²

Recall, v = wr, thus, w = v/r

Also, I = ½mr²

I = 0.5 * 5 * 2²

I = 10 kgm²

Remember,

mgh = ½Iw² + ½mv²

Substituting w for v/r, we have

mgh = ½I(v/r)² + ½mv²

Now, putting the values in the equation, we have

5 * 9.8 * 0.3 = ½ * 10 * (v/2)² + ½ * 5 * v²

14.7 = 1.25 v² + 2.5 v²

14.7 = 3.75 v²

v² = 14.7/3.75

v² = 3.92

v = √3.92

v = 1.98 m/s

Thus, the speed is 1.98 m/s

Nuclear decay occurs according to first-order kinetics. How long will it take for a sample of radon-218 to decay from 99 grams t
dedylja [7]

It will take 267 milliseconds for a sample of radon-218 to decay from 99 grams to 0. 50 grams.

We know that half life of a first order reaction is given by: t_{1/2} = 0.693/k

where k = rate of reaction

Given half life = 35 milliseconds

So from this we get k = 0.0198

Now we know that rate of first order reaction is given by: kt= 2.303 * log(R'/R)

where t= time

R'= initial amount = 99 g

R= final amount= 0.50 g

k= rate of reaction = 0.0198

Putting values of these in above equation we get t=267 milliseconds.

i.e. It will take 267 milliseconds for a sample of radon-218 to decay from 99 grams to 0. 50 grams.

If the separation between the openings in the double slit is increased, what happens to the distance between the fringes on the
Pavlova-9 [17]

Width of the fringes gets decreased if the distance between the slits is increased and thus we get narrower fringes.

What is Young's double-slit experiment?

  • In modern physics, the double-slit experiment is a demonstration that light and matter can display characteristics of both classically defined waves and particles; moreover, it displays the fundamentally probabilistic nature of quantum mechanical phenomena.
  • This type of experiment was first performed, using light, by Thomas Young in 1802, as a demonstration of the wave behavior of light.
  • A wave is split into two separate waves (the wave is typically made of many photons and better referred to as a wave front (not to be confused with the wave properties of the individual photon)) that later combine into a single wave.
  • Changes in the path-lengths of both waves result in a phase shift, creating an interference pattern.
  • A coherent light source, such as a laser beam, illuminates a plate pierced by two parallel slits, and the light passing through the slits is observed on a screen behind the plate.
  • The wave nature of light causes the light waves passing through the two slits to interfere, producing bright and dark bands on the screen – a result that would not be expected if light consisted of classical particles. However, the light is always found to be absorbed at the screen at discrete points, as individual particles (not waves); the interference pattern appears via the varying density of these particle hits on the screen.
  • Furthermore, versions of the experiment that include detectors at the slits find that each detected photon passes through one slit (as would a classical particle), and not through both slits (as would a wave).
  • However, such experiments demonstrate that particles do not form the interference pattern if one detects which slit they pass through. These results demonstrate the principle of wave-particle duality.

Lake point tower in chicago is the tallest apartment building in the united states. suppose you take the elevator from street le
notka56 [123]

Using the idea of work done under gravity, the height of the building is 187 m.

<h3>Work done in a gravitational field</h3>

We must recall that the work done in a gravitational field is given by; mgh

m= mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

mass = 60.0 kg

Workdone = 1.15x10^5 J

W = mgh

h = W/mg

h =  1.15x10^5 J/60.0 kg * 9.8 ms-2

h = 187 m
