Two students walk in the same direction along a straight path, at a constant speed one at 0.90 m/s and the other at 1.90 m/s. a.

Assuming that they start at the same point and the same time, how much sooner does the faster student arrive at a destination 780 m away? b. How far would the students have to walk so that the faster student arrives 5.50 min before the slower student?

Answer: a) 456.66 s ; b) 564.3 m

Explanation: The time spend to cover any distance a constant velocity is given by:

v= distance/time so t=distance/v

The slower student time is: t=780m/0.9 m/s= 866.66 s

For the faster students t=780 m/1,9 m/s= 410.52 s

Therefore the time difference is 866.66-410.52= 456.14 s

In order to calculate the distance that faster student should  walk

to arrive 5,5 m before that slower student, we consider the follow expressions:

distance =vslower*time1

distance= vfaster*time 2

The time difference is 5.5 m that is equal to 330 s

replacing in the above expression we have

time 1= 627 s

time2 = 297 s

The distance traveled is 564,3 m

Plugging in 330 seconds from time 1 and time 2 into the distance equations would give you 627 and 297 meters not seconds.. unless I’m misunderstanding something?

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

303.29N and 1.44m/s^2

Explanation:

Make sure to label each vector with none, mg, fk, a, FN or T

Given

Mass m = 68.0 kg

Angle θ = 15.0°

g = 9.8m/s^2

Coefficient of static friction μs = 0.50

Coefficient of kinetic friction μk =0.35

Solution

Vertically

N = mg - Fsinθ

Horizontally

Fs = F cos θ

μsN = Fcos θ

μs( mg- Fsinθ) = Fcos θ

μsmg - μsFsinθ = Fcos θ

μsmg = Fcos θ + μsFsinθ

F = μsmg/ cos θ + μs sinθ

F = 0.5×68×9.8/cos 15×0.5×sin15

F = 332.2/0.9659+0.5×0.2588

F =332.2/1.0953

F = 303.29N

Fnet = F - Fk

ma = F - μkN

a = F - μk( mg - Fsinθ)

a = 303.29 - 0.35(68.0 * 9.8- 303.29*sin15)/68.0

303.29-0.35( 666.4 - 303.29*0.2588)/68.0

303.29-0.35(666.4-78.491)/68.0

303.29-0.35(587.90)/68.0

(303.29-205.45)/68.0

97.83/68.0

a = 1.438m/s^2

a = 1.44m/s^2
