Cars A and B are racing each other along the same straight road in the following manner: Car A has a head start and is a distanc

e DA beyond the starting line at t=0. The starting line is at x=0. Car A travels at a constant speed vA. Car B starts at the starting line but has a better engine than Car A, and thus Car B travels at a constant speed vB, which is greater than vA
How long after Car B started the race will Car B catch up with Car A?

Answer: $\frac{D_A}{v_B-v_A}$

Explanation:

Given

car A had a head start of $D_A$

and it starts at x=0 and t=0

Car B has to travel a distance of $D_A and d_a$

where $d_a$ is the distance travel by car A in time t

distance travel by car A is

$d_a=v_A\times t$

For car B with speed $v_B$

$d_B=D_A+d_a$

$v_B\times t=D_A+v_A\times t$

$t=\frac{D_A}{v_B-v_A}$

1. A step-up transformer increases 15.7V to 110V. What is the current in the secondary as compared to the primary? Assume 100 pe

Serjik [45]

1. $I_2 = 0.14 I_1$

Explanation:

We have:

$V_1 = 15.7 V$ voltage in the primary coil

$V_2 = 110 V$ voltage in the secondary coil

The efficiency of the transformer is 100%: this means that the power in the primary coil and in the secondary coil are equal

$P_1 = P_2\\V_1 I_1 = V_2 I_2$

where I1 and I2 are the currents in the two coils. Re-arranging the equation, we find

$\frac{I_2}{I_1}=\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{15.7 V}{110 V}=0.14$

which means that the current in the secondary coil is 14% of the value of the current in the primary coil.

2. 5.7 V

We can solve the problem by using the transformer equation:

$\frac{N_p}{N_s}=\frac{V_p}{V_s}$

where:

Np = 400 is the number of turns in the primary coil

Ns = 19 is the number of turns in the secondary coil

Vp = 120 V is the voltage in the primary coil

Vs = ? is the voltage in the secondary coil

Re-arranging the formula and substituting the numbers, we find:

$V_s = V_p \frac{N_s}{N_p}=(120 V)\frac{19}{400}=5.7 V$

A weight lifter is trying to do a bicep curl with a weight of 300 N. At the "sticking point", the moment arm of this weight is 3

lesantik [10]

Answer:

The weight lifter would not get past this sticking point.

Explanation:

Generally torque applied on the weight is mathematically represented as

T = F z

To obtain Elbow torque we substitute 4000 N for F (the force ) and 2cm $= \frac{2}{100} = 0.02m$ for z the perpendicular distance

So Elbow Torque is $T_e= 4000 * 0.02$

$= 80Nm$

To obtain the torque required we substitute 300 N for F and 30cm $=\frac{30}{100} = 0.3 m$

So the Required Torque is $T_R = 300 *0.3$

$=90Nm$

Now since $T_e < T_R$ it mean that the weight lifter would not get past this sticking point

Why can you see your own reflected image in a mirror but not on a dry, painted wall?

kaheart [24]

A wall uses diffuse reflection while a mirror uses specular reflection. For example, when parallel light rays enter a mirror, they remain parallel when exiting the mirror, allowing you to see a reflection of the light rays. On the contrary, when incident light rays enter a wall which is painted, the rays scatter, not allowing you to see anything but a painted wall.
