A police officer in a patrol car parked in a 70 km/h speed zone observes a passing automobile traveling at a slow, constant spee

d. Believing that the driver of the automobile might be intoxicated, the office starts his car, accelerates uniformly to 90 km/h in 8 s, and, maintaining a constant velocity of 90 km/h, overtakes the motorist 42 s after the automobile passed him. Knowing that 18 s elapsed before the officer began pursuing the motorist, determine
(a) the distance the officer traveled before overtaking the motorist,
(b) the motorist's speed.

Answer:

S = 0.5 km

velocity of motorist = 42.857 km/h

Explanation:

given data

speed  = 70 km/h

accelerates uniformly = 90 km/h

time = 8 s

overtakes motorist =  42 s

solution

we know  initial velocity u1 of police = 0

final velocity u2 = 90 km/h = 25 mps

we apply here equation of motion

u2 = u1 + at  

so acceleration a will be

a = \frac{25-0}{8}

a = 3.125  m/s²

so

distance will be

S1 = 0.5 × a × t²

S1 = 100 m = 0.1 km

and

S2 = u2 ×  t

S2 = 25  × 16

S2 = 400 m = 0.4 km  

so total distance travel by police

S = S1 + S2

S = 0.1 + 0.4

S = 0.5 km

and

when motorist travel with  uniform velocity

than total time = 42 s

so velocity of motorist will be

velocity of motorist = \frac{S}{t}

velocity of motorist =  \frac{500}{42}  

velocity of motorist = 42.857 km/h

Ignoring any losses, estimate how much energy (in units of Btu) is required to raise the temperature of water in a 90-gallon hot
Rudik [331]

Answer:

Q=36444.11 Btu

Explanation:

Given that

Initial temperature = 60° F

Final temperature = 110° F

Specific heat of water = 0.999 Btu/lbm.R

Volume of water = 90 gallon

Mass = Volume x density

1\ gallon = 0.13ft^3

Mass ,m= 90 x 0.13 x 62.36 lbm

m=729.62 lbm

We know that sensible heat given as

Q= m Cp ΔT

Now by putting the values

Q= 729.62 x 0.999 x (110-60) Btu

Q=36444.11 Btu
