Suppose a police officer is 1/2 mile south of an intersection, driving north towards the intersection at 40 mph. At the same tim

blagie [28]

Answer:

75.36 mph

Explanation:

The distance between the other car and the intersection is,

$x=x_{0}+V t \\ x=\frac{1}{2}+V t$

The distance between the police car and the intersection is,

$y=y_{0}+V t$

$y=\frac{1}{2}-40 t$

(Negative sign indicates that he is moving towards the intersection)

Therefore the distance between them is given by,

$z^{2}=x^{2}+y^{2}(\text { Using Phythogorous theorem })$

$z^{2}=\left(\frac{1}{2}+V t\right)^{2}+\left(\frac{1}{2}-40 t\right)^{2} \ldots \ldots \ldots(1)$

The rate of change is,

$2 z \frac{d z}{d t}=2\left(\frac{1}{2}+V t\right) V+2\left(\frac{1}{2}-40 t\right)(-40)$

$2 z \frac{d z}{d t}=V+2 V^{2} t-40+3200 t \ldots \ldots \ldots$

Now finding $z$ when $t=0,$ from (1) we have

$z^{2}=\left(\frac{1}{2}+V(0)\right)^{2}+\left(\frac{1}{2}-40(0)\right)^{2}$

$z^{2}=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{2} \\ z=\sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \approx 0.7071$

The officer's radar gun indicates 25 mph pointed at the other car then, $\frac{d z}{d t}=25$ when $t=0,$ from

From (2) we get

$2(0.7071)(25)=V+2 V^{2}(0)-40+3200(0)$

$2(0.7071)(25)=V+2 V^{2}(0)-40$

$35.36=V-40$

$V=35.36+40=75.36$

Hence the speed of the car is $75.36 mph$

Alternative sources of energy include : geothermal

baherus [9]

Answer:

All of the above

Explanation:

The correct answer is option E (All of the above)

All the options are alternative source of energy.

The option given are not the traditional way (energy production from coal) of extracting energy as the loss of natural resources does not take place in these source of energy.

energy extracted from wind, solar light , hydrogen ,etc are the source of energy the alternative source of production of energy because do not exploit the natural resources, reduce the carbon emission and energy produced by them is clean energy.

Calculate the speed of an 8.0x10^4 kg airliner with a kinetic energy of 1.1x10^9 j ...?

Over [174]

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object on motion. it is expressed as follows:

KE = 0.5mv^2

where m is the mass and v is the velocity of the object. We calculate as follows:

KE = 0.5mv^2
1.1x10^9 J = 0.5(8.0x10^4 kg) v^2
v = 165.83 m/s

How much water will flow in 30 secs through 200 mm of capillary tube of 1.50 mm in diameter, if the pressure difference across t

Paladinen [302]

The water outflow in 30 secs through 200 mm of the capillary tube is mathematically given as

$Qo=1.6 \times 10^{2} \mathrm{~mL}$

<h3>What is the water outflow in 30 secs through 200 mm of the capillary tube?</h3>

$\begin{aligned}\Delta P &=6660 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{m}^{2} \\\mu &=8.01 \times 10^{-4} \text { Pas } \\t &=30 \mathrm{~s} \\L &=200 \mathrm{~mm}=200 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m} \\D &=1.5 \mathrm{~mm}=1.5 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m} \Rightarrow \gamma=\frac{1.5 \times 10^{-3}}{2} \mathrm{~m}\end{aligned}$
