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.

Compare the collision between two baseballs and a catcher's mitt.
Nookie1986 [14]

The applied force is different for the two cases

The case A with a greater force involves the greatest momentum change

The case A involves the greatest force.

<h3>What is collision?</h3>
  • This is the head-on impact between two object moving in opposite or same direction.

The initial momentum of the two ball is the same.

P = mv

where;

  • m is the mass of each
  • v is the initial velocity of each ball

Since the force applied by the arm is different, the final velocity of the balls before stopping will be different.

Thus, the final momentum of each ball will be different

The impulse experienced by each ball is different since impulse is the change in momentum of the balls.

J = ΔP

The force applied by the rigid arm is greater than the force applied by the relaxed arm because the force applied by the rigid arm will cause the ball to be brought to rest faster.

Thus, we can conclude the following;

  • The applied force is different for the two cases
  • The case A with a greater force involves the greatest momentum change
  • The case A involves the greatest force.

At its widest point, the diameter of a bottlenose dolphin is 0.50 m. Bottlenose dolphins are particularly sleek, having a drag c
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

497.00977 N

3742514.97005

Explanation:

\rho = Density of water = 1000 kg/m³

C = Drag coefficient = 0.09

v = Velocity of dolphin = 7.5 m/s

r = Radius of bottlenose dolphin = 0.5/2 = 0.25 m

A = Area

Drag force

F_d=\frac{1}{2}\rho CAv^2\\\Rightarrow F_d=\frac{1}{2}\times 1000 \times 0.09(\pi 0.25^2)7.5^2\\\Rightarrow F_d=497.00977\ N

The drag force on the dolphin's nose is 497.00977 N

at 20°C

\mu = Dynamic viscosity = 1.002\times 10^{-3}\ Pas

Reynold's Number

Re=\frac{\rho vd}{\mu}\\\Rightarrow Re=\frac{1000\times 7.5\times 0.5}{1.002\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow Re=3742514.97005

The Reynolds number is 3742514.97005

Compare physical changes and chemical changes
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The difference between a physical reaction and a chemical reaction is composition. In a chemical reaction, there is a change in the composition of the substances in question; in a physical change there is a difference in the appearance, smell, or simple display of a sample of matter without a change in composition. Although we call them physical "reactions," no reaction is actually occurring. In order for a reaction to take place, there must be a change in the elemental composition of the substance in question. Thus, we shall simply refer to physical "reactions" as physical changes from now on.

Explanation:

Physical changes are limited to changes that result in a difference in display without changing the composition. Some common changes (but not limited to) are:

Texture

Color

Temperature

Shape

Change of State (Boiling Point and Melting Point are significant factors in determining this change.)

Physical properties include many other aspects of a substance. The following are (but not limited to) physical properties.

Luster

Malleability

Ability to be drawn into a thin wire

Density

Viscosity

Solubility

Mass

Volume
