ance 260 m from the center of the track. How fast is the distance between the friends changing when the distance between them is 260 m? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)\

Answer: 6.78 m/sec

Explanation:

Let the track be centered at origin, with radius = 130

Let θ = angle formed by line from centre to runner with positive x-axis

Let S = distance along circular track where runner is located

and where S = 0 is at position (130,0)

Runner sprints at constant speed of 7m/sec . . . . ds/dt = 7

Formula for arc length:

s = r θ

s = 130 θ

d/dt = 130 dθ/dt

7 = 130 dθ/dt

dθ/dt = 7/130

Now,

Let (x,y) be runners position

x = r cos(θ) = 130 cos(θ)

y = r sin(θ) = 130 sin(θ)

x² + y² = r² = 16,900

Let runner's friend be at position (260, 0) (angle of 0 degrees with positive x-axis)

Let D = distance from runner to runner's friend

D² = (260 - x)² + y²

D² = 67,600 - 520x + x² + y²

D² = 67,600 - 520x + 16,900

D² = 84,500 - 520(130 cos(θ))

D² = 84,500 - 67,600 cos(θ)

Differentiating both sides with respect to t, we get

2D dD/dt = 67,600 sin(θ) dθ/dt

Find dD/dt when D = 260

First, we find θ when D = 260 using formula

D² = 84,500 - 67,600 cos(θ)

67,600 = 84,500 - 67,600 cos(θ)

67,600 cos(θ) = 16,900

cos(θ) = 1/4

sin(θ) = √(1 - (1/4)²) = √(15/16) = √15/4

Now we can calculate dD/dt

2D dD/dt = 67,600 sin(θ) dθ/dt

2(260) dD/dt = 67,600 * √15/4 * 7/130

dD/dt = 67,600/520 * √15/4 * 7/130

dD/dt = 7√15/4

dD/dt = 6.77772

Distance between the friends is changing at a rate of 6.78 m/sec

Describe one common critique or criticism of Utilitarianism. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this criticism?
lisabon 2012 [21]
The second most common criticism of utilitarianism is that it is impossible to apply - that happiness (etc) cannot be quantified or measured, that there is no way of calculating a trade-off between intensity and extent, or intensity and probability (etc), or comparing happiness to suffering.

A puck of mass 0.70 kg approaches a second, identical puck that is stationary on frictionless ice. The initial speed of the movi
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

  • v_1  =  \ 5.196 \frac{m}{s}
  • v_2 =  3 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

For this problem, we just need to remember conservation of momentum, as there are no external forces in the horizontal direction:

\vec{p}_i = \vec{p}_f

where the suffix i  means initial, and the suffix f means final.

The initial momentum will be:

\vec{p}_i = m_1 \ \vec{v}_{1_i} + m_2 \ \vec{v}_{2_i}

as the second puck is initially at rest:

\vec{v}_{2_i} = 0

Using the unit vector \vec{i} pointing in the original line of motion:

\vec{v}_{1_i} = 6.0 \frac{m}{s} \hat{i}

\vec{p}_i = 0.70 \ kg  \ 6.0 \frac{m}{s} \ \hat{i} + 0.70 \ kg \ 0

\vec{p}_i = 4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s} \ \hat{i}

So:

\vec{p}_i =  4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s} \ \hat{i} = \vec{p}_f

\vec{p}_f =  4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s} \ \hat{i}

Knowing the magnitude and directions relative to the x axis, we can find Cartesian representation of the vectors using the formula

\ \vec{A} = | \vec{A} | \ ( \ cos(\theta) \ , \ sin (\theta) \ )

So, our velocity vectors will be:

\vec{v}_{1_f} = v_1 \ ( \ cos(30 \°) \ , \ sin (30 \°) \ )

\vec{v}_{2_f} = v_2 \ ( \ cos(-60 \°) \ , \ sin (-60 \°) \ )

We got

\vec{p}_f = 0.7 \ kg \ \vec{v}_{1_f} + 0.7 \ kg \ \vec{v}_{2_f}

4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s} \ \hat{i} = 0.7 \ kg \   v_1 \ ( \ cos(30 \°) \ , \ sin (30 \°) \ )  + 0.7 \ kg \ v_2 \ ( \ cos(-60 \°) \ , \ sin (-60 \°) \ )

So, we got the equations:

4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s}  = 0.7 \ kg \   v_1 \  cos(30 \°) + 0.7 \ kg \ v_2 \  cos(-60 \°)

and

0  = 0.7 \ kg \   v_1 \  sin(30 \°) + 0.7 \ kg \ v_2 \  sin(-60 \°).

From the last one, we get:

0  = 0.7 \ kg \  ( v_1 \  sin(30 \°) +  \ v_2 \  sin(-60 \°) )

0  =  v_1 \  sin(30 \°) +  \ v_2 \  sin(-60 \°)

v_1 \  sin(30 \°) = -  \ v_2 \  sin(-60 \°)

v_1  =  \ v_2 \  \frac{sin(60 \°)}{ sin(30 \°) }

and, for the first one:

4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s}  = 0.7 \ kg  \ (  v_1 \  cos(30 \°) + v_2 \  cos(60 \°) )

\frac{4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s}}{ 0.7 \ kg} =    v_1 \  cos(30 \°) + v_2 \  cos(60 \°)

\frac{4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s}}{ 0.7 \ kg} =    v_1 \  cos(30 \°) + v_2 \  cos(60 \°)

6 \ \frac{m}{s} =    (\ v_2 \  \frac{sin(60 \°)}{ sin(30 \°) } ) \  cos(30 \°) + v_2 \  cos(60 \°)

6 \ \frac{m}{s} = v_2     (\   \frac{sin(60 \°)}{ sin(30 \°) } ) \  cos(30 \°) +   cos(60 \°)

6 \ \frac{m}{s} = v_2  * 2

so:

v_2 = 6 \ \frac{m}{s} / 2 = 3 \frac{m}{s}

and

v_1  =  \ 3 \frac{m}{s}  \  \frac{sin(60 \°)}{ sin(30 \°) }

v_1  =  \ 5.196 \frac{m}{s}

A student walks 4 block east, 7 blocks west, 1 blocks east then 2 blocks west in an hour. Her average speed is____ block/hour
Gemiola [76]

Average speed = (total distance) / (total time)

Average speed = (4+7+1+2 blox) / (1 hour)

<em>Average speed = 14 blocks/hour</em>

<em></em>

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and take a wild guess:

I'm guessing that there's another question glued onto the end of this one, and it asks you to find either her displacement or her average velocity.  I'm so sure of this that I'm gonna give you the solution for that too.  If there's no more question, then you won't need this, and you can just discard it.  I won't mind.

Average velocity = (displacement) / (time for the displacement)

"Displacement" = distance and direction from the start point to the end point, regardless of how she got there.

Displacement = (4E + 7W + 1E + 2W)

Displacement = (5E + 9W)

<em>Displacement = 4 blocks west</em>

Average velocity = (4 blocks west) / (1 hour)

<em>Average velocity = 4 blocks/hour  West</em>

What occurs when light bends while passing from one medium to another?
Levart [38]

Answer:So the answer is B

Explanation: When the light rays either bend or change their direction while passing from one medium to another it is called refraction of light. The refraction of light takes place when light travels from air into glass, from glass into air, from air into water or from water into air.

Jemima is running with a velocity of 5m/s. She has a mass of 65kg, what is her kinetic energy?
puteri [66]

Jemima is running with a velocity of 5m/s. She has a mass of 65kg, what is her kinetic energy would be 812.5 Joules.

<h3>What is mechanical energy?</h3>

Mechanical energy is the combination of all the energy in motion represented by total kinetic energy and the total stored energy in the system which is represented by total potential energy.

As given in the problem we have to calculate the Kinetic energy of the Jemima,

Kinetic energy = 1/2 ×mass×velocity²

                        =0.5×65×5²

                        =812.5 Joules

Thus, the kinetic energy of the Jemima would be 812.5 Joules.
