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>

Un automovil parte del reposo y acelera uniformemente hasta alcanzar una rapidez de 0,255km/h en un tiempo de 3/4 Minutos determ
Elden [556K]

Answer:

a = 1.5*10^-3 m/s^2

x = 0.033m = 3.3cm

Explanation:

To calculate the acceleration and the distance traveled by the car you use the following formulas:

v=v_o+at    (1)

x=v_ot+\frac{1}{2}at^2   (2)

v: final velocity = 0,255 km/h

vo: initial velocity = 0 m/s

t: time = 3/4 min

a: acceleration = ?

x: distance

In order to use the equations (1) and (2) you first convert the units of the final velocity to m/s, and the time to seconds.

v=0,255\frac{km}{h}*\frac{1000m}{1km}*\frac{1h}{3600s}\\\\v=0.07m/s\\\\t=\frac{3}{4}min*\frac{60s}{1min}=45s

Next, you solve the equation (1) for the acceleration a:

a=\frac{v}{t}=\frac{0.07m/s}{45s}=1.5*10^{-3}\frac{m}{s^2}

With this value of a you can calculate the distance traveled by the car, by using the equation (2):

x=\frac{1}{2}(1.5*10^{-3}m/s^2)(45s)^2=0.033m=3.3cm

hence, the acceleration of the car is 1.5*10^-3 m/s^2 and the distance traveled in 3/4 min is 0.033m

4. Two particles, A and B, are in uniform circular motion about a common center. The acceleration of particle A is 7.3 times tha
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Acceleration of particle A is 7.3 times the acceleration of particle B.

Let the acceleration of particle B is a, then the acceleration of particle A is

7.3 a.

Let the period of particle A is T and the period of particle B is 2.5 T.

Let the radius of particle A is RA and the radius of particle B is RB.

Use the formula for the centripetal force

a=r\omega ^{2}=r\times \frac{4\pi^{2}}{T^{2}}

So, r = a\frac{T^{2}}{4\pi^{2}}

The ratio of radius of A to the radius of B is given by

\frac{R_{A}}{R_{B}}=\frac{a_{A}\times T_{A}^{2}}{a_{B}\times T_{B}^{2}}

\frac{R_{A}}{R_{B}}=\frac{7.3 a\times T^{2}}{a\times 6.25T^{2}}

RA : RB = 1.17

Suggest a reason for stirring energy powder in water
notsponge [240]

Answer:

The stirring allows fresh solvent molecules to continually be in contact with the solute. If it is not stirred, then the water right at the surface of the solute becomes saturated with dissolved sugar molecules, meaning that it is more difficult for the additional solute to dissolve.
