Answer:

<h2>After 100 seconds Alyssa catch up with Jenny.</h2>

Explanation:

<h3>Jenny's data:</h3>

v_{Jenny} =3.8m/s

t_{Jenny}=t

d_{Jenny}=d

<h3>Alyssa's data:</h3>

v_{Alyssa}=4.0m/s

t_{Alyssa}=t-15, because she has a difference of 15 seconds.

d_{Alyssa}=d

Both move at a constant speed, that means there's no acceleration, their speed is always the same.

Now, the equation of each movement is

d=3.8t and d=4(t-15), then we solve this two.

We replace the first equation into the second one

3.8t=4(t-15)\\3.8t=4t-20\\20=4t-3.8t\\0.2t=20\\t=\frac{20}{0.2}\\ t=100

That means after 100 seconds Alyssa catch up with Jenny.

Answer:

285 seconds

Explanation:

Jenny speed is 3.8 m/s

Alyssa speed in 4.0 m/s

Alyssa starts after 15 seconds

Find the distance covered by Jenny, when Alyssa starts

Distance=Speed*time

Distance covered by Jenny in 15 seconds= 3.8×15=57m

Relative speed of the two members heading same direction will be;

4.0m/s-3.8m/s=0.2m/s

To find the time Alyssa catch up with Jenny you divide the distance to be covered by Alyssa by the relative speed of the two

Distance=57m, relative speed=0.2m/s  t=57/0.2 =285 seconds

=4.75 minutes

Which of the following statements about comets is true? A. Comets rarely fall into an orbit around the Sun. They usually enter t
GREYUIT [131]
<h2>Right answer: Comets have very elliptical orbits that usually take them far beyond the orbit of Pluto, but also take them closer to the Sun than Earth</h2>

Comets are celestial bodies constituted by ice, dust and rocks that orbit around the Sun, after having been altered by the Oort cloud; following different trajectories that can be <u>highly eccentric elliptical</u><u> </u>(periodic trajectories), parabolic or hyperbolic.

One of the main characteristics of a comet is that it travels quite fast, on its way around the Sun and has a long tail. It should be noted that the tails of comets always go in the opposite direction to the Sun (due to the radiation pressure of sunlight).

Therefore, the correct option is C.

The cable of a crane is lifting a 950 kg girder. The girder increases its speed from 0.25 m/s to 0.75 m/sin a distance of 5.5m
Umnica [9.8K]

Explanation:

a) How much work is done by gravity?

  • w = f x d
  • w = 950 x 10 x 5.5 = 52250j

b) How much work is done by tension?

  • v²=u²+2as
  • 0.75²=0.25²+2a x5.5
  • 0.56=0.06+2a x5.5
  • 2a x5.5 = 0.56 - 0.06
  • 2a x 5.5 =0.5
  • 11a=0.5
  • a = 0.5/11 = 0.05m/s²

w = f x d

w = 950 x 0.05 x 5.5 = 261.25j

How much does mass slow down time?
nalin [4]

Answer:

 In physics, if there is biggest mass then the slow down time is more and this effect is basically known as gravitation time dilation. This type of effect can easily be calculated from the different type of metric in the environment.

When some outsider observe then, this effect time seemed to be slowed down. It basically measure the overall amount of the time which elapse at observer distance. Therefore, this is the main concept of the mass slow down time.
