A hare and a tortoise compete in a race over a straight course 1.55 km long. The tortoise crawls at a speed of 0.100 m/s toward

the finish line. The hare runs at a speed of 7.85 m/s toward the finish line for 1.240 km and then stops to tease the slow-moving tortoise as the tortoise eventually passes by. The hare waits for a while after the tortoise passes and then runs toward the finish line again at 7.85 m/s. Both the hare and the tortoise cross the finish line at the exact same instant. Assume both animals, when moving, move steadily at their respective speeds.
Required:
How far is the tortoise from the finish line when the hare resumes the race?

Answer:

The tortoise is 3.95 m from the finish line when the hare resumes the race

Explanation:

Since, both the  tortoise and the rabbit continue with the same uniform speed. Therefore, we will use the equation for constant speed, that is:

s = vt

t = s/v

where,

s = distance covered

v = speed

t = time taken

Now, we consider the motion of tortoise:

t₁ = s₁/v₁

For hare:

t₂ = s₂/v₂

According to the given condition both hare and tortoise cross the finish line at same instant. Therefore, time for both must be equal.

t₁ = t₂

using values:

s₁/v₁ = s₂/v₂

where,

s₁ = distance of tortoise from finish line when hare starts = ?

v₁ = speed of tortoise = 0.1 m/s

s₂ = distance of hare from finish line when he starts = 1.55 km - 1.24 km = 0.31 km = 310 m

v₂ = speed of hare = 7.85 m/s

Therefore,

s₁/(0.1 m/s) = (310 m)/(7.85 m/s)

s₁ = (0.1 m/s)(39.5 s)

<u>s₁ = 3.95 m</u>

Assume that the position vector of A is r=i+j+k . Determine the moment about the origin O if the force F=(1)i+(0)j+(5)k . The mo
ddd [48]

Answer:

M₀ = 5i - 4j - k

Explanation:

Using the cross product method, the moment vector(M₀) of a force (F) is about a given point is equal to cross product of the vector A from the point (r) to anywhere on the line of action of the force itself. i.e

M₀ = r x F

From the question,

r = i + j + k

F = 1i + 0j +  5k

Therefore,

M₀ = (i + j + k) x (1i + 0j +  5k)

M₀ = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\1&1&1\\1&0&5\end{array}\right]

M₀ = i(5 - 0) -j(5 - 1) + k(0 - 1)

M₀ = i(5) - j(4) + k(-1)

M₀ = 5i - 4j - k

Therefore, the moment about the origin O of the force F is

M₀ = 5i - 4j - k

You are getting bored as you are stuck at home, and want to find out the effective 'spring constant' of random objects. You find
Luda [366]

Given Information:  

Mass of sock = 0.23 kg

Stretched length of sock = x = 2.54 cm = 0.0254 m

Required Information:  

Spring constant = k = ?

Answer:  

Spring constant = k = 88.82 N/m

Explanation:  

We know from the Hook's law that

F = kx

Where k is spring constant, F is the applied force and x is length of sock being stretched.

k = F/x

Where F is given by

F = mg

F = 0.23*9.81

F = 2.256 N

So the spring constant is

k = 2.256/0.0254

k = 88.82 N/m

Therefore, the spring constant of the sock is 88.82 N/m

A uniform stick 1.5 m long with a total mass of 250 g is pivoted at its center. A 3.3-g bullet is shot through the stick midway
Andru [333]

Answer:

<em>63.44 rad/s</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

mass of bullet = 3.3 g = 0.0033 kg

initial velocity of bullet v_{1} = 250 m/s

final velocity of bullet v_{2} = 140 m/s

loss of kinetic energy of the bullet = \frac{1}{2}m(v^{2} _{1} - v^{2} _{2})

==> \frac{1}{2}*0.0033*(250^{2}  - 140^{2} ) = 70.785 J

this energy is given to the stick

The stick has mass = 250 g =0.25 kg

its kinetic energy = 70.785 J

from

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}

70.785 = \frac{1}{2}*0.25*v^{2}

566.28 = v^{2}

v= \sqrt{566.28} = 23.79 m/s

the stick is 1.5 m long

this energy is impacted midway between the pivot and one end of the stick, which leaves it with a radius of 1.5/4 = 0.375 m

The angular speed will be

Ω = v/r = 23.79/0.375 =<em> 63.44 rad/s</em>
