A tortoise and hare start from rest and have a race. As the race begins, both accelerate forward. The hare accelerates uniformly

at a rate of 1.4 m/s2 for 4.9 seconds. It then continues at a constant speed for 11 seconds, before getting tired and slowing down with constant acceleration coming to rest 102 meters from where it started. The tortoise accelerates uniformly for the entire distance, finally catching the hare just as the hare comes to a stop.
1) How fast is the hare going 2.4 seconds after it starts?
2) How fast is the hare going 8.9 seconds after it starts?
3) How far does the hare travel before it begins to slow down?
4) What is the acceleration of the hare once it begins to slow down?

Answer:

1) Vf = 3.36 m/s

2) v = 6.86 m/s

3) s = 92.3 m

4) a = - 0.23 m/s²

Explanation:

1)

We use first equation of motion in this case:

Vf = Vi + at

where,

Vf = Final velocity = ?

Vi = Initial velocity = 0 m/s

a = acceleration = 1.4 m/s²

t = time = 2.4 s

Therefore,

Vf = 0 m/s + (1.4 m/s²)(2.4 s)

<u>Vf = 3.36 m/s</u>

2)

We again use first equation of motion but with t= 4.9 s now:

Vf = 0 m/s + (1.4 m/s²)(4.9 s)

Vf = 6.86 m/s

Now, this velocity remained constant for net 11 seconds. Hence, the velocity of hare after 8.9 s is:

<u>v = 6.86 m/s</u>

3)

First we use second equation of motion to find distance covered in accelerated motion:

s₁ = Vi t + (0.5)at²

s₁ = (0 m/s)(4.9 s) + (0.5)(1.4 m/s²)(4.9 s)²

s₁ = 16.8 m

Now, we calculate the distance covered in uniform motion:

s₂ = vt

s₂ = (6.86 m/s)(11 s)

s₂ = 75.5 m

Now, total distance covered before slowing down is given as:

s = s₁ + s₂ = 16.8 m + 75.5 m

<u>s = 92.3 m</u>

3)

Using third equation of motion for the decelerated motion:

2as = Vf² - Vi²

where,

a = deceleration = ?

s = distance covered = 102 m

Vf = Final Speed = 0 m/s

Vi = Initial Speed = 6.86 m/s

Therefore,

(2)(a)(102 m) = (0 m/s)² - (6.86 m/s)²

a = - (47.06 m²/s²)/(204 m)

<u>a = - 0.23 m/s²</u>

Answer:

The coefficient of static friction is 0.29

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of the merry-go-round, r = 4.4 m

The operator turns on the ride and brings it up to its proper turning rate of one complete rotation every 7.7 s.

We need to find the least coefficient of static friction between the cat and the merry-go-round that will allow the cat to stay in place, without sliding. For this the centripetal force is balanced by the frictional force.

\mu mg=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

v is the speed of cat, v=\dfrac{2\pi r}{t}

\mu=\dfrac{4\pi^2r}{gt^2}\\\\\mu=\dfrac{4\pi^2\times 4.4}{9.8\times (7.7)^2}\\\\\mu=0.29

So, the least coefficient of static friction between the cat and the merry-go-round is 0.29.

Pavlova-9 [17]

La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

Te compartimos las tres ideas que te pueden ayudar para hacer tu artículo.

Título:

La Educación Física, una prioridad para las escuelas.

Existe una frase milenaria que se le atribuye a los griegos que dice "Mente sana en cuerpo sano."

Y es muy cierta.

Las escuelas deberían considerar seriamente aumentar el número de horas semanales para la impartición de la educación física por las siguientes razones.

1.- La educación física es vital para el desarrollo físico del estudiante. Desde los grados más básicos, las escuelas deberían fortalecer la enseñanza de la educación física por motivos de salud, y dejar este buen hábito en los alumnos para toda la vida.

2.- La educación física, mejora el rendimiento académico ya que ayuda oxigenando los músculos, fortaleciendo el cerebro para que pueda concentrase mejor, despeja a los alumnos de tal forma que puedan regresar a los salones e clase más "despiertos."

3.- La educación física sirve para introducir la importancia de practicar deporte toda la vida, y hacerlo en la etapa escolar a través de equipos deportivos como el Futbol Americano, el beisbol, el basquetbol, el volibol, el soccer, y otros tantos.

Este idea del trabajo en equipo a través del deporte es muy importante para desarrollar habilidades como el liderazgo, el compromiso, la constancia y el superar la adversidad.

El profesor de educación física debe enseñarte la forma correcta de respirar cuando haces ejercicio, la importancia de la relajación del cuerpo para iniciar una actividad. El profesor debe hacer énfasis en la etapa del calentamiento y el estiramiento para preparar al cuerpo antes de realizar el ejercicio. Así como muchas otras enseñanzas.

Por esa razón, las escuelas deberían considerar seriamente la posibilidad de aumentar las horas de educación física por semana.

Three identical resistors are connected in parallel to a battery. If the current of 12. A flows from the battery, how much curre
Doss [256]

Answer:

4 A

Explanation:

We are given that

R_1=R_2=R_3=4\Omega

I=12 A

We have to find the current flowing through each resistor.

We know that in parallel combination current flowing through different resistors are different and potential difference across each resistor is same.

Formula :

\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}

Using the formula

\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4}

R=\frac{4}{3}\Omega

V=IR

Substitute the values

V=12\times \frac{4}{3}=16 V

I_1=\frac{V}{R_1}=\frac{16}{4}=4 A

I_1=I_2=I_3=4 A

Hence, current flows through any one of the resistors is 4 A.
