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

Suppose that you hear a clap of thunder 16 s after seeing the associated lightning strike. How far are you from the lightning st
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

d=5.376km

Explanation:

Since <em>light is so fast</em> we can assume no time passes between the lightning strikes and we observe it. We want to know then how far away did the strike occur for the sound to take 16s to reach our ears. Since the definition of velocity tells us that v=d/t, we can write d=vt=(336m/s)(16s)=5376m=5.376km

The temperature inside a vehicle can rise ____ degrees higher than the outside temperature.
Elis [28]

Answer:

Generally, 40 to 50 degrees

Explanation:

About the heat-up over time, whether the windows of a vehicle are locked or partially open makes very little difference. In both situations, in an internal temperature of a vehicle, even at an outside temperature of only 72 ° F, it may exceed approximately 40 ° F within one hour. This happens mainly due to the greenhouse effect that is the heat inside the car is trapped and not allowed to escape. Thus, raising the temperature of the vehicle.

The coefficient of kinetic friction between an object and the surface upon which it is sliding is 0. 10. The mass of the object
lilavasa [31]

The force of friction is 78.4 N

What is force of friction?

Frictional force is the force created when two surfaces come into contact and slide against each other. it is given by the equation:

F_{f} = μ * F_{n}

where,

F_{f} = force of friction

μ = coefficient of friction

F_{n} = normal force

Given,

μ = 0.10,  m = 8.0 kg

We know,

F_{n} = mg

F_{n} = 8.0 * 9.8\\\\ F_{n} = 78.4 N

Subsituing the values in equation:

F_{f} = μ * F_{n}

F_{f} = 0.10 * 78.4 \\\\F_{f} = 7.84 N

The force of friction is 78.4 N.

Sati [7]

Answer:

2.11 seconds

Explanation:

We use the kinematic equation for the velocity in a constantly accelerated motion under the acceleration of gravity (g):

v_f=v_i-g*t\\-5.2 = 15.5 - 9.8\,t\\9.8 \,t= 15.5 + 5.2\\t = 20.7/9.8\\t = 2.11 \,\,sec
