Answer:

0.39 km west

Explanation:

The position of Runner A is:

x = -5.7 + 8.8 t

The position of Runner B is:

x = 4.2 − 7.6 t

When the positions are equal:

-5.7 + 8.8 t = 4.2 − 7.6 t

16.4 t = 9.9

t = 0.604

Plug into either equation to find the position at this time:

x = -5.7 + 8.8 (0.604)

x = -0.39

The runners are 0.39 km west of the flagpole when they meet.

10. A worker uses a pulley system to raise a 24.0 kg carton 16.5 m. A force of 129 N is exerted and the rope is pulled 33.0 m. a
lozanna [386]

Answer: Machanical advantage of the machine is 1.86

Explanation: Machanical advantage of a machine is the ratio of the Force to overcome which is the load in this case 24kg * 10= 240N to the force exerted(Effort) to overcome the load in this case 129N.

So, we have

MA = load/effort

= 240N/129N

= 1.86.

Find the acceleration of a hamster when it increases its velocity from rest to 8.0 m/s in 3.0 s .
Eva8 [605]
<span>Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by time.
We can find acceleration a, by the following formula

a=v-u/t

where,
v is the final velocity (in this question v=8.0 m/s)
u is the initial velocity (since the hamster starts from rest, u=0)
t is the time taken (i,e 3.0 second)
now by applying the formula we have,

a = 8.0 - 0 / 3
= 8 / 3
= 2.65 m/s</span>²<span> 

The acceleration is 2.65 meters per second squared</span>
