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

Tom is sitting facing forward in the train as it is getting ready to leave the station. He puts a smooth ball on the train floor
Vesnalui [34]

According to Newton's first law of motion, what happens to the ball is  the ball rolls backward.

<h3>What is the first law?</h3>

This means that an object at rest or in motion will remain uniformly rectilinear and tend to be in that state if the net force on it is zero.

In this case, we have to think that the ball is at rest and the train is moving with a velocity that way, the reaction of the ball will be to go in the opposite direction to the motion.

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

v = 20.31 m/s

Explanation:

p = mv -> v = p/m = 32,500 kg*m/s / 1,600 kg = 20.31 m/s

What distance is covered by an airplane traveling at a velocity of 660 miles per hour in 3.5 hours?
N76 [4]

As per the question, the velocity of the airplane [v] = 660 miles per hour.

The total time taken by airplane [t] = 3.5 hours.

We are asked to determine the total distance travelled by the airplane during that period.

The distance covered [ S] by a body is the product of velocity with the time.

Mathematically distance covered = velocity × total time

                                                      S = v × t

                                                        = 660 miles/hour ×3.5 hours

                                                        = 2310 miles.

Hence, the total distance travelled by the airplane in 3.5 hour is 2310 miles.

What are the products of a fusion reaction? Check all that apply. Lighter atoms energy heavier atoms a neutron a proton.
svet-max [94.6K]

The process by which two or more tiny nuclei unite to generate a bigger nucleus is known as a nuclear fusion reaction. Heavier atoms are products of a fusion reaction.

<h3 /><h3>What is nuclear fusion?</h3>

The process by which two or more tiny nuclei unite to generate a bigger nucleus is known as a nuclear fusion reaction.

For example, the fusion of two hydrogen atoms produces more energy than the fusion of one helium atom, and surplus energy is expelled into space upon binding.

Hence heavier atoms are e products of a fusion reaction.
