Two runners start at a distance of 10 miles from each other. They run towards each other at a constant velocity of 5 mph. A fly

takes off from runner one’s nose at time zero. The fly has a constant velocity of 20 mph and flies between the runners. Find the total distance that the fly has traveled when the runners collide.

Answer:

The fly will travel 20 miles before the runners collide with each other.

Explanation:

Since the runners are both traveling at the same speed, they will meet and collide in the exact middle of each other which is 5 miles away from their starting point. Since they are traveling at 5 mph, it will take exactly one hour before they collide. The fly is going 20 mph so it will travel 20 miles before the runners collide in one hour.

A 1.5 kg orange falls from a tree and hits the ground in 0.75s. What is the speed of the orange just before it hits the ground?
Olenka [21]

The final speed of the orange is 7.35 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the orange is a free fall motion, since there is only the force of gravity acting on it. Therefore, it is a uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground. So we can use the following suvat equation:

v=u+at

where

v is the  final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time elapsed

For the orange in this problem, we have

u = 0 (it is dropped from rest)

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration

Substituting t = 0.75 s, we find the final velocity (and speed) of the orange:

v=0+(9.8)(0.75)=7.35 m/s

why does diving 30m below sea level affect our bodies more than being in a building 30m above sea level
Genrish500 [490]
Imagine you are in a swimming pool 30m deep. Assuming you know that water is denser than air, you would know that the 30m of water above you will carry more weight, and press down on your body. Say you were in a swimming pool 60m deep, you would be sandwiched between 30m of water pressing down on you, and the upthrust created by the 30m of water below you.

In a building 30m up, the pressure will be regulated, as you are in a building. The floor will be strong enough to support the weight of the body, and the body will not recoil into itself.

What is the wavelength of a wave if its frequency is 256 Hz and speed of the wave is 350 m/s?
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The equation for this is

f=\frac{v}{\lambda} where f is the frequency, v is the velocity, and lambda is the wavelength. Filling in:

256=\frac{350}{\lambda} and

\lambda=\frac{350}{256} which means that

the wavelength is 1.37 m, rounded to the correct number of significant digits.
