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

The net torce on an object moving with constant speed in circular motion is in which direction?
aleksley [76]

The correct answer is C) towards the center of the circle.

Although the object is moving at a constant speed it is constantly accelerating due to the constant change in direction as it describes the circular path. This causes a constant change in velocity as velocity is a vector quantity.

For the object to maintain the circular path there has to be centripetal force acting on the object and this centripetal force is directed towards the center of the circle.

A wave travels at a constant speed.How does the frequency change if the wavelength is reduced by a factor of 3 The frequency dec
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

The frequency increases by a factor of 3.

Explanation:

The relation between speed, wavelength and frequency of a wave is given by :

v=f\lambda

or

f\propto \dfrac{1}{\lambda}

A wave travels at a constant speed. If the wavelength is reduced by a factor of 3, it would mean that the frequency increases by a factor of 3 because there is an inverse relationship between wavelength and frequency.
