A car traveling 90km/hr is 100 m behind a truck traveling 50km/hr. How long will it take the car to reach the truck?

Since both these cars are traveling as an assumed constant rate, you can imagine them as not moving at all to make the problem easier conceptually. The distance between the cars will also remain constant. First, convert the units km/hr into m/s: 90/3.6= 25 m/s; 50/3.6=13.89 m/s. The difference between these two speeds is 11.11 m/s. Now use the equation: velocity= distance/time. 11.11= 100/time; solve for time and you should get 9.0009 seconds

The faster car behind is catching up/closing the gap/gaining on
the slow truck in front at the rate of (90 - 50) = 40 km/hr.

At that rate, it takes (100 m) / (40,000 m/hr) = 1/400 of an hour
to reach the truck.

(1/400 hour) x (3,600 seconds/hour) = 3600/400 = 9 seconds, exactly

A power plant running at 39 % efficiency generates 330 MW of electric power. Part A At what rate (in MW) is heat energy exhauste

marusya05 [52]

516.154 megawatts of heat are exhausted to the river that cools the plant.

By definition of energy efficiency, we derive an expression for the energy rate exhausted to the river ( $Q_{out}$ ), in megawatts:

$Q_{out} = Q_{in} - W$

$Q_{out} = \left(\frac{1}{\eta}-1 \right)\cdot W$ (1)

Where:

$\eta$ - Efficiency.
$W$ - Electric power, in megawatts.

If we know that $\eta = 0.39$ and $W = 330\,MW$ , then the energy rate exhausted to the river is:

$Q_{out} = \left(\frac{1}{0.39}-1 \right)\cdot (330\,MW)$

$Q_{out} = 516.154\,MW$

516.154 megawatts of heat are exhausted to the river that cools the plant.

kramer

Chameleon's tongue is more fast than thought. Its long sticky tongue moves at an amazing ballistic speed which lashes out unsuspecting insects and bugs. Now let us see how fast it is.

GIven:

acceleration of the chameleon's tongue- 260 m/s
2 for 20 ms
constant speed 30 ms
50 ms total time
1/20 of a second

solution:

260 = n 
20 50
20 n = 13, 000
20 20
n= 650 m/s
