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.

21) A youngster having a mass of 50.0 kg steps off a 1.00 m high platform. If she keeps her legs fairly rigid and comes to rest
zlopas [31]

Answer:

-22,150 N

Explanation:

When the youngster jumps off the platform, during the fall her initial potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, according to the law of conservation of energy. Therefore, we can write:

mgh=\frac{1}{2}mu^2

where the term on the left is the potential energy while the term on the right is the kinetic energy, and where

m = 50.0 kg is the mass of the youngster

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

h = 1.00 m is the heigth of the platform

u is the speed of the youngster as she reaches the floor

Solving for u,

u=\sqrt{2gh}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(1.00)}=4.43 m/s

Then, when the youngster hits the floor, the force exerted on her during the deceleration is given by:

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}=\frac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}

where \Delta p is her change in momentum, and where

m is the mass

v = 0 is the final velocity (she comes to a stop)

u = 4.43 m/s is the initial velocity

\Delta t=10.0 ms =0.010 s is the duration of the collision

Substituting,

F=\frac{(50.0)(0-4.43)}{0.010}=-22150 N

And the negative sign means the direction of the force is opposite to the motion (so, upward).

What are the difficulties with the capture hypothesis of the Moon’s origin?
Lisa [10]

Answer:

No collision or altered trajectory

Similar percentage of oxygen isotopes

Explanation:

Capture hypothesis states that the Earth captured the moon. This is highly unlikely as such interactions of this type of bodies leads to a collision or their trajectories are altered. The percentage of the oxygen isotopes such as 16O, 17O and 18O in the Moon's basalts are almost identical with Earth. While meteorites have different percentage of oxygen isotopes.

Currently the accepted hypothesis is the  giant-impact hypothesis.

Which objects will likely have the greatest gravitational force between them?
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

d. Two soccer balls that are touching each other

Explanation:

Let m_1 be the mass of a tennis ball, m_2 is the mass of a soccer ball.

As the mass of a soccer ball is more than the mass of a tennis ball, so

m_2 > m_1

Let d_1 be the distance between the centers of both the balls near each other and d_2 be the distance between the centers of both the balls touching each other.

So, d_2 > d_1

The gravitational force, F, between the two objects having masses M and m and separated by distance d is

F=\frac{GMm}{d^2}

Where G is the universal gravitational constant.

As, the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of both the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them,  so selecting the larger mass (m_2, soccer ball) separated by a lesser distance (d_2, touching) to get more gravitational force.

Therefore, there will be a larger gravitational force between them when two soccer balls touching each other.

Hence, option (d) is correct.
