Suppose a police officer is 1/2 mile south of an intersection, driving north towards the intersection at 30 mph. at the same tim

e, another car is 1/2 mile east of the intersection, driving east (away from the intersection) at an unknown speed. the officer's radar gun indicates 15 mph when pointed at the other car (that is, the straight-line distance between the officer and the other car is increasing at a rate of 15 mph). what is the speed of the other car?

Answer:

v = 51.2 mph

Explanation:

Velocity of police car

v_p = 30 mph towards North

velocity of the car with respect to police car

v_{cp} = 15 mph

Speed of the other car is given with respect to police car so let say the speed of other car is "v"

Now the component of this speed along the line joining two cars is

v_1 = v cos45

similarly speed of police car along the line joining two cars is given as

v_2 = v sin45

now we can find the relative speed

v_{12} = v_1 - v_2

15 mph = vcos45 - 30cos45

v = 51.2 mph

In triangle ABC , using Pythagorean theorem

BC = sqrt(AB² + AC²)

r = sqrt(y² + x²)                                eq-1

taking derivative both side relative to "t"

dr/dt = (1/(2 sqrt(y² + x²) ) ) (2 y (dy/dt) + 2 x (dx/dt))

dr/dt = (1/(2 sqrt(0.5² + 0.5²) ) ) (2 (0.5) (dy/dt) + 2 (0.5) (dx/dt))

dr/dt = (1/(2 sqrt(0.5² + 0.5²) ) ) ( v₁ + v₂)

15= (1/(2 sqrt(0.5² + 0.5²) ) ) ( - 30 + v₂)

v₂ = 51.2 m/s

Explanation:

(1) The heat added to warm the ice to 0°C is:

q = mCΔT = (0.041 kg) (2090 J/kg/°C) (0°C − (-11°C)) = 942.59 J

The heat added to melt the ice is:

q = mL = (0.041 kg) (3.33×10⁵ J/kg) = 13,653 J

The heat added to warm the water to 100°C is:

q = mCΔT = (0.041 kg) (4186 J/kg/°C) (100°C − 0°C) = 17,162.6 J

The heat added to evaporate the water is:

q = mL = (0.041 kg) (2.26×10⁶ J/kg) = 92,660 J

The heat added to warm the steam to 115°C is:

q = mCΔT = (0.041 kg) (2010 J/kg/°C) (115°C − 100°C) = 1236.15 J

The total heat needed is:

q = 942.59 J + 13,653 J + 17,162.6 J + 92,660 J + 1236.15 J

q = 125,654.34 J

(2) When the first two are mixed:

m C₁ (T₁ − T) + m C₂ (T₂ − T) = 0

C₁ (T₁ − T) + C₂ (T₂ − T) = 0

C₁ (6 − 11) + C₂ (25 − 11) = 0

-5 C₁ + 14 C₂ = 0

C₁ = 2.8 C₂

When the second and third are mixed:

m C₂ (T₂ − T) + m C₃ (T₃ − T) = 0

C₂ (T₂ − T) + C₃ (T₃ − T) = 0

C₂ (25 − 33) + C₃ (37 − 33) = 0

-8 C₂ + 4 C₃ = 0

C₂ = 0.5 C₃

Substituting:

C₁ = 2.8 (0.5 C₃)

C₁ = 1.4 C₃

When the first and third are mixed:

m C₁ (T₁ − T) + m C₃ (T₃ − T) = 0

C₁ (T₁ − T) + C₃ (T₃ − T) = 0

(1.4 C₃) (6 − T) + C₃ (37 − T) = 0

(1.4) (6 − T) + 37 − T = 0

8.4 − 1.4T + 37 − T = 0

2.4T = 45.4

T = 18.9°C

(3) Heat gained by the ice = heat lost by the tea

mL + mCΔT = -mCΔT

m (3.33×10⁵ J/kg) + m (2090 J/kg/°C) (30.8°C − 0°C) = -(0.176 kg) (4186 J/kg/°C) (30.8°C − 32.8°C)

m (397372 J/kg) = 1473.472 J

m = 0.004 kg

m = 4 g

4 grams of ice is melted and warmed to the final temperature, which leaves 128 grams unmelted.

(4) The heat added to warm the ice to 0°C is:

q = mCΔT = (0.028 kg) (2090 J/kg/°C) (0°C − (-67°C)) = 3920.84 J

The heat added to melt the ice is:

q = mL = (0.028 kg) (3.33×10⁵ J/kg) = 9324 J

The heat added to warm the melted ice to T is:

q = mCΔT = (0.028 kg) (4186 J/kg/°C) (T − 0°C) = (117.208 J/°C) T

The heat removed to cool the water to T is:

q = -mCΔT = -(0.505 kg) (4186 J/kg/°C) (T − 27°C)

q = (2113.93 J/°C) (27°C − T) = 57076.11 J − (2113.93 J/°C) T

The heat removed to cool the copper to T is:

q = -mCΔT = -(0.092 kg) (387 J/kg/°C) (T − 27°C)

q = (35.604 J/°C) (27°C − T) = 961.308 J − (35.604 J/°C) T

Therefore:

3920.84 J + 9324 J + (117.208 J/°C) T = 57076.11 J − (2113.93 J/°C) T + 961.308 J − (35.604 J/°C) T

13244.84 J + (117.208 J/°C) T = 58037.418 J − (2149.534 J/°C) T

(2266.742 J/°C) T = 44792.58 J

T = 19.8°C

(5) Kinetic energy of the hammer = heat absorbed by ice

KE = q

½ mv² = mL

½ (0.8 kg) (0.9 m/s)² = m (80 cal/g × 4.186 J/cal × 1000 g/kg)

m = 9.68×10⁻⁷ kg

m = 9.68×10⁻⁴ g

(6) Heat rate = thermal conductivity × area × temperature difference / thickness

q' = kAΔT / t

q' = (1.09 W/m/°C) (4.5 m × 9 m) (10°C − 4°C) / (0.09 m)

q' = 2943 W

After 10.7 hours, the amount of heat transferred is:

q = (2943 J/s) (10.7 h × 3600 s/h)

q = 1.13×10⁸ J

q = 113 MJ

What is kirchoff s law???
kolbaska11 [484]
There are two laws named for Kirchhoff.  The both concern electrical circuits.
Here they are in my own words:

1).  The sum of the voltage drops around any closed loop in a circuit is zero.

2).  The sum of the currents at any single point in a circuit is zero.
