Some tropical butterflies can reach speeds of up to 11 m/s. Suppose a butterfly flies at a speed of 6.0m/s while another flying

insect some distance ahead flies in the same direction with a constant speed. The butterfly then increases its speed at a constant rate of 1.4m/s2 and catches up to the other insect 3.0s later. How far the butterfly travel during the race

Answer:

24.3 m

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion

S=ut+0.5at^{2} where s is the distance, u is initial velocity, t is time and a is acceleration

Substituting u for 6 m/s, t for 3 s, a for 1.4 m/s2 we obtain

S=6*3+(0.5*1.4*3^{2}=18+6.3=24.3 m

Define what is energy and work​
Mashutka [201]

The work-energy principle states that an increase in the kinetic energy of a rigid body is caused by an equal amount of positive work done on the body by the resultant force acting on that body. Conversely, a decrease in kinetic energy is caused by an equal amount of negative work done by the resultant force.

When the pendulum bob reaches the mean position, the net force acting on it is zero. Why then does it swing past the mean positi
ryzh [129]

Answer:

<u>The pendulum bob swing past the mean position because:</u>

When a pendulum's bob is accelerating at its extreme position its velocity is zero. Due to  the restoring toque the bob starts to accelerates towards its mean postion. The  maximum acceleration of the pendulum's bob  is -w^{2} Aand the the acceleration decreases as -w^{2} x  towards the mean position.

The acceleration at the mean position becomes zero but the velocity remains maximum. Hence the bob continues to move and does not stops.Thus it can summarised as the force decreases ,acceleration decreases and velocity increases at slow rate.
