Two boats start together and race across a 48-km-wide lake and back. Boat A goes across at 48 km/h and returns at 48 km/h. Boat

B goes across at 24 km/h, and its crew, realizing how far behind it is getting, returns at 72 km/h. Turnaround times are negligible, and the boat that completes the round trip first wins.
(1) Which boat wins? (Or is it a tie?)

(A) boat A
(B) boat B
(C) it's a tie
.
(2) By how much? answer in km
(3) What is the average velocity of the winning boat? answer needs to be km/h

Answer:

Part 1)

Boat A will win the race

Part 2)

Boat A will win the race by 48 km as the 2nd boat will reach the other end while boat A will just touches the finish line

Part 3)

average velocity must be zero

Explanation:

As we know that the distance moved by the boat is given as

d = 48 km

now the time taken by the boat to move to and fro is given as

t = \frac{d}{v}

t = \frac{48 + 48}{48}

t = 2 hrs

Time taken by Boat B to cover the distance

t = \frac{48}{24} + \frac{48}{72}

t = 2.66 h

Part 1)

Boat A will win the race

Part 2)

Boat A will win the race by 48 km as the 2nd boat will reach the other end while boat A will just touches the finish line

Part 3)

Since the displacement of Boat A is zero

so average velocity must be zero

kvasek [131]

Answer:

t = 106π / 30*2.1

Explanation:

w_{i} = 1.06*10^{2}    => 106

    => 106 x 2π/60

    => 106/30π

∝ = -2.1 rad/sec²

w_{f} => 0

w_{f} = w_{i} + ∝t

∴ (w_{f} - w_{i}) / ∝ = t

t = 106π / 30*2.1

The state of matter is an example of a physical property. Why is the state of matter considered aphysical property, even though
lora16 [44]
<span>The three states of matter are the three distinct physical forms that matter can take in most environments: solid, liquid, and gas. In extreme environments, other states may be present, such as plasma, Bose-Einstein condensates, and neutron stars. Further states, such as quark-gluon plasmas, are also believed to be possible. Much of the atomic matter of the universe is hot plasma in the form of rarefied interstellar medium and dense stars.</span>

While Bob is demonstrating the gravitational force on falling objects to his class, he drops an 1.0 lb bag of feathers from the
____ [38]

As per the question Bob drops the bag full with feathers from the top of the building.

The mass of the bag(m)= 1.0 lb

Let the air resistance is neglected.As the bag is under free fall ,hence the only force that acts on the bag is the force of gravity which is in vertical downward direction.

Here the acceleration produced on bag due to the free fall will be nothing else except the acceleration due to gravity i.e g =9.8 m/s^2


Here we are asked to calculate the distance travelled by the bag at the instant 1.5 s

Hence time t= 1.5 s

From equation of kinematics we know that -

                S=ut + 0.5at^2     [ here S is the distance travelled]

For motion under free fall initial velocity (u)=0.

Hence   S= 0×1.5+{0.5×(-9.8)×(1.5)^2}

           ⇒ -S =0-11.025 m

            ⇒ S= 11.025 m

                   =11 m

Here the negative sign is taken only due to the vertical downward motion of the body .we may take is positive depending on our frame of reference .


Hence the correct option is B.

Consider the two moving boxcars in Example 5. Car 1 has a mass of m1 = 65000 kg and a velocity of v01 = +0.80 m/s. Car 2 has a m
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

1.034m/s

Explanation:

We define the two moments to develop the problem. The first before the collision will be determined by the center of velocity mass, while the second by the momentum preservation. Our values are given by,

m_1 = 65000kg\\v_1 = 0.8m/s\\m_2 = 92000kg\\v_2 = 1.2m/s

<em>Part A)</em> We apply the center of mass for velocity in this case, the equation is given by,

V_{cm} = \frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}

Substituting,

V_{cm} = \frac{(65000*0.8)+(92000*1.2)}{92000+65000}

V_{cm} = 1.034m/s

Part B)

For the Part B we need to apply conserving momentum equation, this formula is given by,

m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = (m_1+m_2)v_f

Where here v_f is the velocity after the collision.

v_f = \frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}

v_f = \frac{(65000*0.8)+(92000*1.2)}{92000+65000}

v_f = 1.034m/s
