Two roads intersect at right angles, one going north-south, the other east-west. an observer stands on the road 60 meters south

of the intersection and watches a cyclist travelling east at 10 meters per second. at what rate is the cyclist moving away from the observer 8 seconds after he passes through the intersection? (hint: remember 3-4-5 rightangled triangles.)

observer is standing at distance d = 60 m south from the intersection

cyclist is travelling at speed v = 10 m/s

now after t = 8 s its displacement from intersection is given by

x = 10*8 = 80 m

so the position of cyclist makes an angle with the observer

\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{80}{60} = 53 degree

now the component of velocity of cyclist along the line joining its position with the observer is given as

v = v_o cos\phi

here

\phi = 90 -\theta

\phi = 90 - 53 = 37 degree

v = 10 cos37 = 8 m/s

so at this instant cyclist is moving away with speed 8 m/s

The cyclist moving away from the observer 8 seconds after he passes through the intersection at the rate 8 m/s

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Vector is quantity that has magnitude and direction.

One example of a vector is displacement.

Let us now tackle the problem !

\texttt{ }

This problem is about Vector Diagram.

<u>Given:</u>

distance between observer and intersection = y = 60 m

speed of cyclist = v = 10 m/s

elapsed time = t = 8 s

<u>Asked:</u>

speed of cyclist relative to observer = v' = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>Firstly , we will calculate the distance between the cyclist and intersection:</em>

x = v t

x = 10 \times 8

x = 80 \texttt{ m}

\texttt{ }

<em>Next , we could calculate the speed of cyclist relative to observer:</em>

v' = v \times \cos \theta

v' = v \times \frac{ x }{\sqrt{x ^2 + y^2}}

v' = 10 \times \frac { 80 }{\sqrt{80^2 + 60^2}}

v' = 10 \times \frac {4}{5}

v' = 8 \texttt{ m/s}

\texttt{ }

<h3>Conclusion :</h3>

The cyclist moving away from the observer 8 seconds after he passes through the intersection at the rate 8 m/s

The gravitational attraction between two planets is  4905.95 N

<h3>What is gravitational attraction?</h3>

When two objects with masses are placed at a distance, there will an attractive force acting between them.

According to the Newton's law of gravitation, gravitational force is

F = Gm₁m₂ /r²

where r is the distance between the masses m₁ and m₂ and  G is the gravitational constant G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N-m²/kg²

Substitute the values into the expression, we get

F =  6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x  2.25 x 10²⁰ x 6.20 x 10¹⁸ / (435,500 x 1000)²

F= 4905.95 N

Thus, the gravitational attraction between two planets is  4905.95 N.

Which of the following is NOT a reason why exercise routines should have clearly stated goals?
denis-greek [22]
  • Goals allow individuals to track their progress against others is not a reason behind exercise routines have clearly stated goals.
  • Specificity means an exercise program should have end goals that target specific areas. This statement is true.

Further Explanation:

The fitness program helps in achieving good health. To start fitness program we have to make fitness goals, create a healthy diet. Physical fitness is the capability of a body to perform daily activity.

Physical fitness helps us to prevent heart disease, lung cancer, stroke, and type II diabetes. Progress of a fitness program is very slow it takes time. It is more difficult to maintain a program for a long time with the same enthusiasm. We can set the goal and check whether we are progressing or not. If the goals of an individual are successfully attain then an individual gets motivated for the next day. When the goals are not achieved, it is important to check for the part that can be improved. We mainly set goals for own concerns, satisfaction and achievement. Goals are not related to others.

Specificity is occurring in a specific reaction that occurs as a result of exercise program. Specificity increases the long-term adaptations to occur with progressive overload. Specificity—a focus on particular movements, muscles, velocity and energy systems —drives the gains you make in training and practice. If an individual doesn't intentionally train for something, it may not occur.

Specificity is decreased when an individual is not focusing on the goal. Specificity helps in achieving their goals. Then, an individual have to set a fresh goal for the assessment and train themselves for that particular goal. Individuals who are involved in fitness programs should set goals and weekly asses the progress by the fitness evaluation test. If we achieve our goals we should give our self-reward.
