A car travelling at a constant speed of 70km/h passes a stationary police car. The police car immediately goes on the chase acce

lerating uniformly to reach a speed of 85km/h in 10s and continues at that speed until it overtakes the other car. Calculate the time taken for the police car to overtake the car?

Answer:

18.24 seconds

Explanation:

First you convert the km/h to m/s, 70km/h=(175/9)m/s,85km/h=(425/18)m/s.

You know it took 10 seconds for the police to reach 85 km/h. Calculate the distance that the car is ahead of the police (175/9)*10=1750/9m. Then by divide 1750/9 with 425/18, you will get the value 8.24. Add the 10 seconds with the 8.24 you will get 18.24 sec which is the total time.

If one has twice the length of the other, what is the ratio of the diameter of the longer wire to the diameter of the shorter wi
hram777 [196]

Explanation:

The resistance of a wire is given by the formula as follows :

R=\rho \dfrac{l}{A}

l is length of wire

A is area of cross section, A=\pi r^2

Since, r=d/2, d = diameter

A=\pi \dfrac{d^2}{4}

It is given in the problem that the resistance of two aluminum wires is same.

R_1=R_2\\\\\rho\dfrac{L_1}{\pi d_1^2/4}=\rho\dfrac{L_2}{\pi d_2^2/4}\\\\\dfrac{L_1}{L_2}=\dfrac{d_1^2}{d_2^2}

We have, L₁=2L₂

So,

\dfrac{2L_2}{L_2}=\dfrac{d_1^2}{d_2^2}\\\\\dfrac{d_1^2}{d_2^2}=2\\\\\dfrac{d_1}{d_2}=\sqrt{2}

So, the ratio of the diameter of the longer wire to the diameter of the shorter wire is \sqrt2:1

A solar-powered car is traveling at constant speed around a circular track. what happens to the centripetal acceleration of the
anyanavicka [17]
Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration of an object acted upon a force that pulls it toward the center of origin. For constant speed, there is no acceleration, since acceleration is defined as the difference of velocities at an elapsed time. Hence, if speed doubles, then the centripetal acceleration would increase as well.

A mass of 5kg starts from rest and pulls down vertically on a string wound around a disk-shaped, massive pulley. The mass of the
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

c. V = 2 m/s

Explanation:

Using the conservation of energy:

E_i =E_f

so:

Mgh = \frac{1}{2}IW^2 +\frac{1}{2}MV^2

where M is the mass, g the gravity, h the altitude, I the moment of inertia of the pulley, W the angular velocity of the pulley and V the velocity of the mass.

Also we know that:

V = WR

Where R is the radius of the disk, so:

W = V/R

Also, the moment of inertia of the disk is equal to:

I = \frac{1}{2}MR^2

I = \frac{1}{2}(5kg)(2m)^2

I = 10 kg*m^2

so, we can write the initial equation as:

Mgh = \frac{1}{2}IV^2/R^2 +\frac{1}{2}MV^2

Replacing the data:

(5kg)(9.8)(0.3m) = \frac{1}{2}(10)V^2/(2)^2 +\frac{1}{2}(5kg)V^2

solving for V:

(5kg)(9.8)(0.3m) = V^2(\frac{1}{2}(10)1/4 +\frac{1}{2}(5kg))

V = 2 m/s
