A wildebeest and chicken participate in a race over a 2.00km long course. the wildebeest travels at a speed of 16.0m/s and chick

en can do 2.50m/s. the wildebeest runs for 1.600km and then stops to tease the slow-moving chicken, which eventually passes by. the wildebeest waits for a while after the chicken passes and then run toward the finish line. both animal cross the finish line at the exact same instant. assume boat animals, when moving, move steadily at their respective speed.
(a) how far (in m) is the chicken from the Finish Line when the wildebeest resume the race?
(b) for how long in time (in s) was the wildebeest stationary?

Answer:

(a) The distance of the chicken from the finish line is 62.5 m

(b) The stationary time of the wildebeest is 675 s

Explanation:

Given;

total distance traveled by wildebeest and chicken, d = 2 km = 2000 m

speed of the wildebeest, $v_w$ = 16 m/s

speed of the chicken, $v_c$ = 2.5 m/s

Time for wildebeest to finish the race without stopping, 2000 / 16 = 125 s

Time for chicken to finish the race without stopping, 2000/2.5 = 800 s

(b) for how long in time (in s) was the wildebeest stationary?

t(stationary) = t(chicken) - t(wildebeest)

t = 800s - 125 s

t = 675 s

(a) how far (in m) is the chicken from the Finish Line when the wildebeest resume the race?

The time taken for the wildebeest to run 1.6 km (1600 m) is given by;

t = 1600 / 16 = 100 s

The total time spent by the wildebeest before it resumed the race = stationary time + 100s

t (total) = 675 s + 100 s = 775 s

Distnace traveled by the chicken when the wildebeest resumed the race = 2.5m/s x 775s = 1937.5 m

Thus, the distance of the chicken from the finish line = 2000 m - 1937.5 m

the distance of the chicken from the finish line = 62.5 m

slader Question: A Model Rocket Is Launched Straight Upward With An Initial Speed Of 50m/s. Iit Accelerates With A Constant Upwa

xenn [34]

Answer:

Maximum height reached by the rocket is

$y_{max} = 308 m$

total time of the motion of rocket is given as

$T = 16.44 s$

Explanation:

Initial speed of the rocket is given as

$v_i = 50 m/s$

acceleration of the rocket is given as

$a = 2 m/s^2$

engine stops at height h = 150 m

so the final speed of the rocket at this height is given as

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$v_f^2 - 50^2 = 2(2)(150)$

$v_f = 55.68 m/s$

so maximum height reached by the rocket is given as the height where its final speed becomes zero

so we will have

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$0 - 55.68^2 = 2(-9.81)(y - 150)$

$y_{max} = 308 m$

Now the total time of the motion of rocket is given as

1) time to reach the height of 150 m

$v_f - v_i = at$

$55.68 - 50 = 2 t$

$t_1 = 2.84 s$

2) time to reach ground from this height

$\Delta y = v_y t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$-150 = 55.68 t - \frac{1}{2}(9.81) t^2$

$t_2 = 13.6 s$

so total time of the motion of rocket is given as

$T = 13.6 + 2.84 = 16.44 s$

A 5.50-kg object is hung from the bottom end of a vertical spring fastened to an overhead beam. The object is set into vertical

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

17.71N/m

Explanation:

The period of the spring is expressed according to the expression;

$T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } \\$

m is the mass of the object

k is the force constant

Given

m = 5.50kg

T = 3.50s

Substitute into the formula;

$T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } \\3.5 = 2 (3.14) \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\3.5 = 6.28 \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\\frac{3.5}{6.28} = \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\0.557 = \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\square \ both \ sides\\0.557^2 = (\sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} })^2 \\0.3106 = \frac{5,5}{k}\\k = \frac{5.5}{0.3106}\\k = 17.71N/m$

Hence the force constant of the spring is 17.71N/m

Pressure in a liquid increases with its ..........

Novay_Z [31]

Answer: Pressure increases as the depth increases

Explanation: The pressure in a liquid is due to the weight of the column of water above. Since the particles in a liquid are tightly packed, this pressure acts in all directions.

Why must the electric field be normal to the surface at every point of a charged conductor?

solong [7]

-- If the field were inclined to the surface, then it would have
some component parallel to the surface.

-- Then, since we're talking about a conductor, the charges
on the object would move in response to that component
of the field, until there was no longer any component of the
field trying to move them.

A bolt falls off an airplane high above the ground. How far does the bolt have to fall before its speed reaches 100m/s (about 20

omeli [17]

We can use the equation vf (the final velocity) =vi (the initial velocity) +at (aceleration times time)

We know the final velocity 100m/s, the initial velocity 0, and the acceleration (gravity) 9.8m/s^2. So, 100=0+9.8t. t=100/9.8
