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

on the surface of jupiter the acceleration due to gravity is about 3 times that on earth. how much would a 100kg rock weigh on j
madam [21]

Answer:

Weight on Jupiter will be equal to 2940 N

Explanation:

We have given given acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter is 3 times of acceleration due to gravity on earth

Acceleration due to gravity on earth g=9.8m/sec^2

So acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter = g'=3\times 9.8=29.4m/sec^2

Mass is given m = 100 kg

We have to find the weight

Weight is equal to W = mg, here m is mass and a is acceleration

So weight W=100\times 29.4=2940N

A square plate of side 9 m is submerged in water at an incline of 60∘ with the horizontal. Its top edge is located at the surfac
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

The force on one side of  the plate is 3093529.3 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Side of square plate = 9 m

Angle = 60°

Water weight density = 9800 N/m³

Length of small strip is

y=\dfrac{\Delta y}{\sin60}

y=\dfrac{2\Delta y}{\sqrt{3}}

The area of strip is

dA=\dfrac{9\times2\Delta y}{\sqrt{3}}

We need to calculate the force on  one side of  the plate

Using formula of pressure

P=\dfrac{dF}{dA}

dF=P\times dA

On integrating

\int{dF}=\int_{0}^{9\sin60}{\rho g\times y\times 6\sqrt{3}dy}

F=9800\times6\sqrt{3}(\dfrac{y^2}{2})_{0}^{9\sin60}

F=9800\times6\sqrt{3}\times(\dfrac{(9\sin60)^2}{2})

F=3093529.3\ N

Hence, The force on one side of  the plate is 3093529.3 N.

Strontium−90 is one of the products of the fission of uranium−235. This strontium isotope is radioactive, with a half-life of 28
Ludmilka [50]

Answer : The time passed in years is 20.7 years.

Explanation :

Half-life = 28.1 years

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

k=\frac{0.693}{28.1\text{ years}}

k=2.47\times 10^{-2}\text{ years}^{-1}

Now we have to calculate the time passed.

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  = 2.47\times 10^{-2}\text{ years}^{-1}

t = time passed by the sample  = ?

a = initial amount of the reactant  = 1.00 g

a - x = amount left after decay process = 0.600 g

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

t=\frac{2.303}{2.47\times 10^{-2}}\log\frac{1.00}{0.600}

t=20.7\text{ years}

Therefore, the time passed in years is 20.7 years.

Plz answer the question
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Ray A = Incidence ray

Ray B = Reflected ray

Explanation:

From the law of reflection,

Normal: This is the line that makes an angle of 90° with the reflecting surface.

Ray A is the incidence ray: This is the ray that srikes the surface of a reflecting surface. The angle formed between the normal and the incidence ray is called the incidence angle

Ray B is the reflected ray: This is the ray leaves the surface of a reflecting surface. The angle formed between the reflected ray and the normal is called reflected angle
