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

lawyer [7]

Answer:

180 x 60 inches

Width = 60 inches

Length = 180 inches

Explanation:

Given

Let L = Length

W = Width

P = Perimeter

Length = 3 * Width

L = 3W

Perimeter of Brass = 480 inches

P = 480

Perimeter is given as 2(L + W);

So, 2 (L + W) = 480

L + W = 480/2

L + W = 240

Substitute 3W for L; so,

3W + W = 240

4W = 240

W = 240/4

W = 60 inches

L = 3W

L = 3 * 60

L = 180 inches

COmmunication Devices

Explanation:

  • TCP/IP, or the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, is a suite of communication protocols used to interconnect network devices on the internet. TCP/IP can also be used as a communications protocol in a private network (an intranet or an extranet).

  • The sequence number in a header is used to keep track of which segment out of many this particular segment might be. The next field, the acknowledgment number, is a lot like the sequence number. The acknowledgment number is the number of the next expected segment.

  • The 32 bit sequence number field defines the number assigned to the first byte of data contained in this segment. TCP is a stream transport protocol. To ensure connectivity, each byte to be transmitted is numbered.
