Answer:

Δt =  \frac{2D}{Vw+Vr} - \frac{D}{2Vr} - \frac{D}{2Vw}

Explanation:

Hi there!

Using the equation of speed for the whole trip, we can obtain the time each one needed to cover the distance D.

The speed (v) is calculated by dividing the traveled distance (d) over the time needed to cover that distance (t):

v = d/t

Rick traveled half of the distance at Vr and the other half at Vw. Then, when v = Vr, the distance traveled was D/2 and the time is unknown, Δt1:

Vr = D/ (2 · Δt1)

For the other half of the trip the expression of velocity will be:

Vw = D/(2 · Δt2)

The total time traveled is the sum of both Δt:

Δt(total) = Δt1 + Δt2

Then, solving the first equation for Δt1:

Vr = D/ (2 · Δt1)

Δt1 = D/(2 · Vr)

In the same way for the second equation:

Δt2 = D/(2 · Vw)

Δt + Δt2 = D/(2 · Vr) + D/(2 · Vw)

Δt(total) = D/2 · (1/Vr + 1/Vw)

The time needed by Rick to complete the trip was:

Δt(total) = D/2 · (1/Vr + 1/Vw)

Now let´s calculate the time it took Tim to do the trip:

Tim walks half of the time, then his speed could be expressed as follows:

Vw = 2d1/Δt  Where d1 is the traveled distance.

Solving for d1:

Vw · Δt/2 = d1

He then ran half of the time:

Vr = 2d2/Δt

Solving for d2:

Vr · Δt/2 = d2

Since d1 + d2 = D, then:

Vw · Δt/2 +  Vr · Δt/2 = D

Solving for Δt:

Δt (Vw/2 + Vr/2) = D

Δt = D / (Vw/2 + Vr/2)

Δt = D/ ((Vw + Vr)/2)

Δt = 2D / (Vw + Vr)

The time needed by Tim to complete the trip was:

Δt = 2D / (Vw + Vr)

Let´s find the diference between the time done by Tim and the one done by Rick:

Δt(tim) - Δt(rick)

2D / (Vw + Vr) - (D/2 · (1/Vr + 1/Vw))

\frac{2D}{Vw+Vr} - \frac{D}{2Vr} - \frac{D}{2Vw} = Δt

Let´s check the result. If Vr = Vw:

Δt = 2D/2Vr - D/2Vr - D/2Vr

Δt = D/Vr - D/Vr = 0

This makes sense because if both move with the same velocity all the time both will do the trip in the same time.

Reika [66]

Answer:

Cytokines

Explanation:

Cytokines are known as inflammatory molecules which are also proteinous and aid signaling of certain processes and conditions in the body.

They are also normally involved in aiding muscle building and are released when muscles experience microscopic damage which may lead to the muscles being sore.

Which satellite has the greatest gravitational force with Earth?
EastWind [94]

Answer:

Satellite D has a mass (kg) of 500 and the distance from Earth (km) is 320.

Explanation:

The universal law of gravitation states that the force between two objects in the universe is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

We have to choose the satellite having greatest gravitational force with earth. In all options the distance from the earth is same i.e. 320 km. So, we have to select the satellite having maximum mass because the mass of the earth is constant.

Hence, the correct option is (D) " Satellite D has a mass (kg) of 500 and the distance from Earth (km) is 320 ".

A bus starts from rest.if the acceleration is 2m/s square, find
MrMuchimi

Answer:

The velocity after 2 seconds can be found through:

V = u +a*t

Where V is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

V = 0 + 2* 2= 4 meters/second

The distance (s) can be found through:

V^2= u^2 +2*a* s

Where V is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration.

4^2= 0^2 + 2 *2*s

16= 0 + 4s

s= 4 meters

Distance (s) can also be found through:

s= ut + 1/2 at^2

s= 0+ 1/2 *2*2^2= 1 *2*2

s= 4 meters
