Answer:

The dog catches up with the man 6.1714m later.

Explanation:

The first thing to take into account is the speed formula. It is v=\frac{d}{t}, where v is speed, d is distance and t is time. From this formula, we can get the distance formula by finding d, it is d=v\cdot t

Now, the distance equation for the man would be:

d_{man}=v_{man}\cdot t=1.6\cdot t

The distance equation for the dog would be obtained by the same way with just a little detail. The dog takes off running 1.8s after the man did. So, in the equation we must subtract 1.8 from t.

d_{dog}=v_{dog}\cdot (t-1.8)=3\cdot (t-1.8)

For a better understanding, at t=1.8 the dog must be in d=0. Let's verify:

d_{dog}=v_{dog}\cdot (1.8-1.8)=3\cdot (0)=0

Now, for finding how far they have each traveled when the dog catches up with the man we must match the equations of each one.

d_{man}=d_{dog}

1.6\cdot t=3\cdot (t-1.8)

1.6\cdot t=3\cdot t-5.4

1.4\cdot t=5.4

t=\frac{5.4}{1.4}

t=3.8571s

The result obtained previously means that the dog catches up with the man 3.8571s after the man started running.

That value is used in the man's distance equation.

d_{man}=1.6\cdot t=1.6\cdot (3.8571)

d_{man}=6.1714m

Finally, the dog catches up with the man 6.1714m later.

if you drop a stone from height of 2.5m. what is the speed of the stone right before it hits the ground?
KonstantinChe [14]
Since the stone was dropped from height, its initial velocity = 0 m/s

Using  v² = u² + 2gs.

Where g ≈ 10 m/s²,  u = initial velocity = 0 m/s, s = height from drop = 2.5 m

v² = u² + 2gs

v² = 0² + 2*10*2.5

v² = 0 + 50

v² = 50

v = √50

v ≈ 7.07 m/s

Hence velocity just before hitting the ground is ≈ 7.07 m/s

Pete is driving down 7th Street. He drives 300 meters in 18 seconds. Assuming he does not speed up or slow down, what is his spe
Korolek [52]

Answer:

16.67m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance Pete drove  = 300m

Time taken  = 18s

Unknown:

Speed  = ?

Solution:

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time.

It is mathematically expressed as;

   Speed  = \frac{distance}{time}

Insert the parameters and solve;

  Speed  = \frac{300}{18}  = 16.67m/s
