Answer:

(a) t=3.87 s :time at which Kathy overtakes Stan

(b) d=37.36 m

(c) vf₁ = 15.097 m/s : Stan's final speed

vf₂ = 19.31 m/s : Kathy's final speed

Explanation:

kinematic analysis

Because Kathy and Stan move with uniformly accelerated movement we apply the following formulas:

vf= v₀+at Formula (1)

vf²=v₀²+2*a*d Formula (2)

d= v₀t+ (1/2)*a*t² Formula (3)

Where:

d:displacement in meters (m)

t : time in seconds (s)

v₀: initial speed in m/s

vf: final speed in m/s

a: acceleration in m/s²

Nomenclature

d₁: Stan displacement

t₁ : Stan time

v₀₁: Stan initial speed

vf₁: Stan final speed

a₁: Stan acceleration

d₂: car displacement

t₂ : Kathy time

v₀₂: Kathy initial speed

vf₂: Kathy final speed

a₂: Kathy acceleration

Data

v₀₁ = 0

v₀₂ = 0

a₁ = 3.1 m/s²

a₂= 4.99 m/s²

t₁ = (t₂ +1) s

Problem development

By the time Kathy overtakes Stan, the two will have traveled the same distance:

d₁ = d₂

t₁ = (t₂ +1)

We aplpy the Formula (3)

d₁ = v₀₁t₁ + (1/2)*a₁*t₁²

d₁ = 0 + (1/2)*(3.1)*t₁²

d₁ = 1.55*t₁² ; Stan's cinematic equation 1

d₂ = v₀₂t₂ + (1/2)*a₂*t₂²

d₂ = 0 + (1/2)*(4.99)*t₂²

d₂ = 2.495* t₂² : Kathy's cinematic equation 2

d₁ = d₂

equation 1 = equation 2

1.55*t₁² = 2.495* t₂² , We replace t₁ = (t₂ +1)

1.55* (t₂ +1) ² = 2.495* t₂²

1.55* (t₂² +2t₂+1) = 2.495* t₂²

1.55*t₂²+1.55*2t₂+1.55 = 2.495* t₂²

1.55t₂²+3.1t₂+1.55=2.495t₂²

(2.495-1.55)t₂² - 3.1t₂ - 1.55 = 0

0.905t₂² - 3.1t₂ - 1.55 = 0 Quadratic equation

Solving the quadratic equation we have:

(a) t₂ = 3.87 s : time at which Kathy overtakes Stan

(b) Distance in which Kathy catches Stan

we replace t₂ = 3.87 s in equation 2

d₂ = 2.495*( 3.87)²

d₂ = 37.36 m

(c) Speeds of both cars at the instant Kathy overtakes Stan

We apply the Formula (1)

vf₁= v₀₁+a₁t₁ t₁ =( t₂+1 ) s=( 3.87 + 1 ) s = 4.87 s

vf₁= 0+3.1* 4.87

vf₁ = 15.097 m/s : Stan's final speed

vf₂ = v₀₂+a₂ t₂

vf₂ =0+4.99* 3.87

vf₂ = 19.31 m/s : Kathy's final speed

A wooden ring whose mean diameter is 15.0 cm is wound with a closely spaced toroidal winding of 555 turns. Compute the magnitude

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

9.916\times 10^{-4}T

Explanation:

Diameter of toroid is 15 cm =0.15 m

So length of the toroid is $l=\pi d=3.14\times 0.15=0.471\ m$

Number of turns of the toriod is given as 555

Current through the toroid is 0.670 A

Magnetic field $B=\mu _0ni=\mu _0\frac{N}{L}i=4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times \frac{555}{0.471}\times 0.670=9.916\times 10^{-4}T$

You are driving your 1700 kg car at 21 m/s down a hill with a 5.0∘ slope when a deer suddenly jumps out onto the roadway. You sl

podryga [215]

Answer:

d = 27.7 m

Explanation:

Here the car is driving on the inclined plane

So here we can say that work done by the gravity and work done by friction is equal to change in kinetic energy of the system

So here we can write it as

$mgsin\theta \times d - F_f \times d = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 - \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2$

now we have

m = 1700 kg

$v_f = 0$

$v_i = 21 m/s$

$F_f = 1.5 \times 10^4 N$

$(1700)(9.81)sin5 (d) - (1.5\times 10^4)d = 0 - \frac{1}{2}(1700)(21^2)$

$1453.5 d - (1.5\times 10^4)d = -374850$

$d = 27.7 m$

A cellphone charger has a transformer with 2000 turns in the primary coil which converts 240v a.c to 6v a.c and a rectifier that

inn [45]

Answer:

As we are converting 220V AC into a 5V DC, first we need a step-down transformer to reduce such high voltage. Here we have used 9-0-9 1A step-down transformer, which convert 220V AC to 9V AC. In transformer there are primary and secondary coils which step up or step down the voltage according to the no of turn in the coils.

Selection of proper transformer is very important. Current rating depends upon the Current requirement of Load circuit (circuit which will use the generate DC). The voltage rating should be more than the required voltage. Means if we need 5V DC, transformer should at least have a rating of 7V, because voltage regulator IC 7805 at least need 2V more i.e. 7V to provide a 5V voltage.

Guys please help me

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

1) $t=2.26\: s$

2) $S=33.9\: m$

3) $v=26.77\: m/s$

4) $\alpha=55.92$

Explanation:

1)

We can use the following equation:

$y_{f}=y_{0}+v_{iy}t-0.5*g*t^{2}$

Here, the initial velocity in the y-direction is zero, the final y position is zero and the initial y position is 25 m.

$0=25-0.5*9.81*t^{2}$

$t=2.26\: s$

2)

The equation of the motion in the x-direction is:

$v_{ix}=\frac{S}{t}$

$15=\frac{S}{2.26}$

$S=33.9\: m$

3)

The velocity in the y-direction of the stone will be:

$v_{fy}=v_{iy}-gt$

$v_{fy}=0-(9.81*2.26)$

$v_{fy}=-22.17\: m/s$

Now, the velocity in the x-direction is 15 m/s then the velocity will be:

$v=\sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+v_{fy}^{2}}=\sqrt{15^{2}+(-22.17)^{2}}$

$v=26.77\: m/s$

4)

The angle of this velocity is:

$tan(\alpha)=\frac{22.17}{15}$

$\alpha=tan^{-1}(\frac{22.17}{15})$

$\alpha=55.92$

Then α=55.92° negative from the x-direction.

I hope it helps you!
