One runner in a relay race has a 1.50 s lead and is running at a constant speed of 3.25 m/s. The runner has 30.0 m to run before

reaching the end of the track. A second runner moves in the same direction as the leader. What constant speed must the second runner maintain in order to catch up to the leader at the end of the race?

The second runner must run 3.3m/s. If the leading runner is 1.5 seconds ahead and there are 30m left, the second runner would need to run slightly faster than the lead in order to finish at the same time. To calculate this I did 30/1.5 which gave me 0.05. I added this onto the speed of the lead runner to get 3.3m/s :)

Answer:

3.88m/s

Explanation:

The first runner has a 1.5s lead, multiply it by the constant speed (1.5 x 3.25) this equates to 4.875 metres.

4.875 metres is the distance the first runner has already covered.

Subtract this from the 30metres left to run, leaves = 25.125 metres.

If you divide 25.125 by 3.25 seconds which is constant speed of the first runner you will get the time in which the first runner finished the race.

25.125 / 3.25 = 7.73 seconds.

If you divide 30metres (because the second runner doesn't have a lead same as the first runner) by 7.73 seconds, you get 3.88.

The second runner must move with a speed of 3.88m/s in order to catch up the leader at the end of the race.

a 4kg box is resting on top of a shelf that is 2m high, what is the boxs gravitational potential relative to the floor​
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

80 J

Explanation:

PE = mgh

PE = (4 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(2 m)

PE = 78.4 J and with sig figs, it would be 80 J

The energy is 3.06 electronvolts,  E = 3.06eV

1eV = 1.6 * 10^-19 J

3.06 eV = 3.06* 1.6 * 10^-19 J = 4.896 * 10^-19 J

Approximately how many atoms are there along a 9.5 cm line
uranmaximum [27]
First convert 5.5 cm to meters.

(5.5 cm / 1) x (m / 100 cm) = 0.055 m

A typical atom is about 1.0E-10 m in diameter; thus:

0.055 m / 1.0E-10 m = 5.5E8 atoms or 550,000,000 end-to-end atoms in 5.5 cm

How can you predict the action of the element
patriot [66]
Stark contrast to paths on energy surfaces or even mechanistic reactions, rule-based and inductive computational approaches to reaction prediction mostly consider only overall transformations. Overall transformations are general molecular graph rearrangements reflecting only the net change of several successive mechanistic reactions. For example, Figure 1 shows the overall transformation of an alkene interacting with hydrobromic acid to yield the alkyl bromide along with the two elementary reactions which compose the transformation.
