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 cue ball initially moving at 3.4 m/s strikes a stationary eight ball of the same size and mass. After the collision, the cue b
romanna [79]

Answer:

speed of eight ball speed after the collision is 3.27 m/s

Explanation:

given data

initially moving v1i = 3.4 m/s

final speed is v1f = 0.94 m/s

angle = θ w.r.t. original line of motion

solution

we assume elastic collision

so here using conservation of energy

initial kinetic energy = final kinetic energy .............1

before collision kinetic energy = 0.5 × m× (v1i)²

and

after collision kinetic energy =  0.5 × m× (v1f)²  + 0.5 × m× (v2f)²

put in equation 1

0.5 × m× (v1i)² =  0.5 × m× (v1f)²  + 0.5 × m× (v2f)²

(v2f)² = (v1i)² - (v1f)²

(v2f)² = 3.4² - 0.94²

(v2f)² = 10.68

taking the square root both

v2f = 3.27 m/s

speed of eight ball speed after the collision is 3.27 m/s

Two devices with capacitances of 25 μf and 5.0 μf are each charged with separate 120 v power supplies. calculate the total energ
mash [69]
The energy stored in a capacitor is given by
U= \frac{1}{2} CV^2
where C is the value of the capacitance while V is the voltage difference applied to the capacitor.

Let's calculate the energy of the first capacitor:
U_1 =  \frac{1}{2} (25\cdot 10^{-6}F)(120 V)=1.5 \cdot 10^{-3}J

And now the energy of the second capacitor:
U_2 =  \frac{1}{2} (5 \cdot 10^{-6}F)(120 V)=3 \cdot 10^{-4}J

So, the total energy stored in the two capacitors is
U=U_1 +U_2 = 1.8 \cdot 10^{-3}J

7. These temperatures were recorded in Pasadena for a week in April. 87 85 80 78 83 86 90 Find each of these. (a) Mean (e) Range
slega [8]

Answer:

a) Mean = 84.14

b) Median = 85

c) Mode = no mode (since there is no variable that appears more than once in this dataset)

d) Midrange = 84

e) Range = 12

f) Variance = 14.69

g) Standard deviation = 3.83

Explanation:

The raw data to be processed is

87 85 80 78 83 86 90

a) Mean = (Σx)/N

The mean is the sum of variables divided by the number of variables

x = each variable

N = number of variables = 7

Mean = (87+85+80+78+83+86+90)/7

Mean = 84.14

b) Median is the number in the middle of the dataset when the variables are arranged in ascending or descending order.

Arranging the data in ascending order

78, 80, 83, 85, 86, 87, 90

The number in the middle is the 4th number = 85

Median = 85

c) Mode is the variable that occurs the most in a distribution.

For this question, all of the variables occur only once, with no variable occurring more than once. Hence, there is no mode for this dataset.

d) Midrange is the arithmetic mean of the highest and lowest number in the dataset.

Mathematically,

Midrange = (Highest + Lowest)/2

Midrange = (90 + 78)/2

Midrange = 84

e) Range is the difference the highest and the lowest numbers in a dataset.

Range = 90 - 78 = 12

f) Variance is an average of the squared deviations from the mean.

Mathematically,

Variance = [Σ(x - xbar)²/N]

xbar = mean

Σ(x - xbar)² = (78 - 84.14)² + (80 - 84.14)² + (83 - 84.14)² + (85 - 84.14)² + (86 - 84.14)² + (87 - 84.14)² + (90 - 84.14)² = 102.8572

Variance = (102.8572)/7

Variance = 14.69

g) Standard deviation = √(variance)

Standard deviation = √(14.69)

Standard deviation = 3.83

Hope this Helps!!!

A cube icebox of side 3cm has a thickness of 5.0cm. If 4.0 kg of ice is put in the box estimate the amount of ice remaining afte
qaws [65]

Answer:

The amount of solid ice remaining after 6 hours is approximately 3.68664 kg

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The side length of the cube box, s = 3(0) cm = 0.3 m

The thickness of the cube box, d = 5.0 cm = 0.05 m  

The mass of ice in the box, m = 4.0 kg

The outside temperature of the cube box, T₁ = 45°C

The temperature of the melting ice inside the box, T₂ = 0°C

The latent heat of fusion of ice, L_f = 3.35 × 10⁵ J/K/hr/kg

The surface area of the box, A = 6·s² 6 × (0.3 m)² = 0.54 m²

The coefficient of thermal conductivity, K = 0.01 J/s·m⁻¹·K⁻¹

For thermal equilibrium, we have;

The heat supplied by the surrounding = The heat gained by the ice

The  heat supplied by the surrounding, Q = K·A·ΔT·t/d

Where;

ΔT = T₁ - T₂ =  45° C - 0° C = 45° C

ΔT = 45° C

Q = K·A·ΔT·t/d = 0.01 × 0.54 × 45 × 6× 60×60/0.05 = 104976

∴ The  heat supplied by the surrounding, Q = 104976 J

The heat gained by the ice = L_f × m_{melted \ ice} =3.35 × 10⁵ J/kg × m_{melted \ ice}

Therefore, from Q =  L_f × m_{melted \ ice}, we have;

Q = 104976 J =  L_f × m_{melted \ ice} = 3.35 × 10⁵ J/kg × m_{melted \ ice}

104976 J = 3.35 × 10⁵ J/kg × m_{melted \ ice}

m_{melted \ ice} = 104976 J/(3.35 × 10⁵ J/kg) ≈ 0.31336 kg

The mass of melted ice, m_{melted \ ice} ≈ 0.31336 kg

∴ The amount of solid ice remaining after 6 hours, m_{ice} = m - m_{melted \ ice}

Which gives;

m_{ice} = m - m_{melted \ ice} = 4.0 kg - 0.31336 kg ≈ 3.68664 kg

The amount of solid ice remaining after 6 hours, m_{ice} ≈ 3.68664 kg.
