Runner A is initially 6.0 km west of a flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 9.0 km/h due east. Runner B is initia

lly 5.0 km east of the flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 8.0 km/h due west. What will be the distance of the two runners from the flagpole when their paths cross? (It is not necessary to convert your answer from kilometers to meters for this problem. You may leave it in kilometers.)

Answer:

0.176m from the flagpole, westward.

Explanation:

Let the Eastward be the positive direction. So initially runner A is at position -6km, running with velocity of 9km/h while runner B is at position 5km running at a velocity of -8km/h. We can conduct the following equation for their distances over the same time t

s_A = -6 + 9t

s_B = 5 - 8t

When A an B meets, they are at the same position and at the same time. So

s_A = s_B

-6 +9t = 5 - 8t

17t = 5 + 6 = 11

t = 11/17 = 0.647 s

s_A = -6 + 9*0.647 = -0.176 m

So where they meet is 0.176m from the flagpole, westward.

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

mu = 0.56

Explanation:

The friction force is calculated by taking into account the deceleration of the car in 25m. This can be calculated by using the following formula:

v^2=v_0^2+2ax\\

v: final speed = 0m/s (the car stops)

v_o: initial speed in the interval of interest = 60km/h

    = 60(1000m)/(3600s) = 16.66m/s

x: distance = 25m

BY doing a the subject of the formula and replace the values of v, v_o and x you obtain:

a=\frac{v^2-v_o^2}{2x}=\frac{0m^2/s^2-(16.66m/s)^2}{2(25m)}=-5.55\frac{m}{s^2}

with this value of a you calculate the friction force that makes this deceleration over the car. By using the Newton second's Law you obtain:

F_f=ma=(1490kg)(5.55m/s^2)=8271.15N

Furthermore, you use the relation between the friction force and the friction coefficient:

F_f= \mu N=\mu mg\\\\\mu=\frac{F_f}{mg}=\frac{8271.15N}{(1490kg)(9.8m/s^2)}=0.56

hence, the friction coefficient is 0.56
