A circular test track for cars has a circumference of 3.5 kmkm . A car travels around the track from the southernmost point to t

he northernmost point.
-What distance does the car travel? (In km)
-What is the car's displacement from its original position? (In km)

Answer:

(A) Distance will be equal to 1.75 km

(B) Displacement will be equal to 1.114 km

Explanation:

We have given circumference of the circular track = 3.5 km

Circumference is given by $2\pi r=3.5$

r = 0.557 km

(a) It is given that car travels from southernmost point to the northernmost point.

For this car have to travel the distance equal to semi perimeter of the circular track

So distance will be equal to $=\frac{3.5}{2}=1.75km$

(b) If car go along the diameter of the circular track then it will also go from southernmost point to the northernmost point. and it will be equal to diameter of the track

So displacement will be equal to d = 2×0.557 = 1.114 m

Answer:

Part a)

$F = 182.3 Lb$

Part b)

$P = 0.55 HP$

Explanation:

Diameter of the circle = 24 ft

Diameter = 731.52 cm = 7.3152 m

now the horse complete 144 trips in one hour

so time to complete one trip is given as

$t = \frac{3600}{144} s$

$t = 25 s$

now the speed of the horse is given as

$v = \frac{2\pi r}{t}$

$v = \frac{\pi(7.3152)}{25}$

$v = 0.92 m/s$

Part a)

Now we know that the power is defined as rate of work done

it is given as

$P = F v$

$746 = F(0.92)$

$F = 810.9 N$

$F = 182.3 Lb$

Part b)

Work done to climb up to 3 m height is given by

$W = mgh$

now we have

$Power = \frac{Work}{time}$

$P = \frac{mgh}{t}$

$P = \frac{(70kg)(9.81)(3)}{5.0s}$

$P = 412.02 Watt$

now we know that 1 HP = 746 Watt

so we have

$P = \frac{412}{746} = 0.55 HP$

Let the rescue boat starts at an angle theta with the North

now its velocity towards East is given as

$v_x = 24sin\theta$

$v_y = -24cos\theta + 3$

now in some time "t" it will catch the boy

so we will have

$t = \frac{0.5}{24sin\theta}$

also we have

$t = \frac{2}{-24cos\theta + 3}$

now we have

$\frac{2}{-24cos\theta + 3} = \frac{0.5}{24sin\theta}$

$4*24sin\theta = - 24cos\theta + 3$

$96 sin\theta + 24cos\theta = 3$

by solving above we got

$\theta = 164 degree$
