Near the end of a marathon race, the first two runners are separated by a distance of 45.6 m. The front runner has a velocity of

3.1 m/s, and the second a velocity of 4.65 m/s. How many seconds earlier will the second runner reach the finish line if the front runner is 250 m from the finish line in seconds?

Answer:17.08 s

Explanation:

Given

distance between First and second Runner is 45.6 m

speed of first runner(v_1)=3.1 m/s

speed of second runner(v_2)=4.65 m/s

Distance between first runner and finish line is 250 m

Second runner need to run a distance of 250+45.6=295.6 m

Time required by second runner t=\frac{295.6}{4.65}=63.56 s

time required by first runner to reach finish line=\frac{250}{3.1}=80.64 s

Thus second runner reach the finish line 80.64-63.56=17.08 s earlier

Start with 2,000 grams.
After 1 half-life, 1,000 grams are left.
After another half-life, 500 are left.
After another half-life, 250 are left.
After another half-life, 125 are left.

That was FOUR half-lifes.

Q1: A runner is jogging in a straight line at a steady vr= 6.8 km/hr. When the runner is L= 2.4 km from the finish line, a bird
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Q1: 3.2km

Q2: 4.8K

Explanation:

Q1:

So db is the distance of bird, and dr is the distance of runner

db = 2vr  and the distance of bird is going to be 2 times greater than the runner.

formulas: db = 2vr & db = 2dr

  1. db = 2dr
  2. L + (L - x) = 2x
  3. 2L - x = 2x
  4. 2L = 3x
  5. x = \frac{2}{3}L

Insert it in x = \frac{2}{3}L

\frac{2}{3}(2.4km) = 1.6km

Now we use formula db = 2dr

  1. db = 2L - x
  2. db = 2(2.4km) - 1.6km
  3. <u>db = 3.2km</u>

Q2:

Formulas: Vr = L /Δt & Vb = db/Δt

  1. Vr = L/ Δt ⇒ Δt = \frac{L}{Vr}
  2. \frac{2.4km}{6.8km/hr}
  3. \frac{6}{17}hr

(Km cancel each other)

  1. Vb = db/Δt ⇒ db = VbΔt
  2. 13.6km/hr(\frac{6}{17}hr )
  3. <u>4.8km</u>

(hr cancel each other)

Hope it helps you :)

If you were trying to build a soundproof room, which of the following materials would you choose in order to absorb the most sou
leonid [27]

Explanation :  

Absorption coefficient of a material determines how much sound is absorbed by the material.

To build a soundproof room, Heavy curtains and carpet can be used. They reduce reverberation.

Reverberation means an echoing sound which persists for some time. For example, when we bang on a huge piece of metal, we hear the reverberation even after we stop banging.  

Hence, option (A) and (D) are correct.
