Two steamrollers begin 115 mm apart and head toward each other, each at a constant speed of 1.10 m/sm/s . At the same instant, a

fly that travels at a constant speed of 2.20 m/sm/s starts from the front roller of the southbound steamroller and flies to the front roller of the northbound one, then turns around and flies to the front roller of the southbound once again, and continues in this way until it is crushed between the steamrollers in a collision. What distance does the fly travel?

Answer:

The distance of fly travel is 115.06 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 115 mm

Speed = 1.10 m/s

Speed of fly = 2.20 m/s

We need to calculate the relative speed

Using formula of relative speed

v=v_{1}+v_{2}

Put the value into the formula

v=1.10+1.10

v=2.20\ m/s

We need to calculate the time for the two steamrollers to meet each other

Using formula of time

t=\dfrac{d}{v}

Put the value into the formula

t=\dfrac{115}{2.20}

t=52.3\ sec

We need to calculate the distance of fly travel

Using formula of distance

d=vt

Put the value into the formula

d=2.20\times52.3

d=115.06\ m

Hence, The distance of fly travel is 115.06 m.

1pt A cannon fires a 5-kg ball horizontally from a
Klio2033 [76]

Answer: Both cannonballs will hit the ground at the same time.

Explanation:

Suppose that a given object is on the air. The only force acting on the object (if we ignore air friction and such) will be the gravitational force.

then the acceleration equation is only on the vertical axis, and can be written as:

a(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)

Now, to get the vertical velocity equation, we need to integrate over time.

v(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)*t + v0

Where v0 is the initial velocity of the object in the vertical axis.

if the object is dropped (or it only has initial velocity on the horizontal axis) then v0 = 0m/s

and:

v(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)*t

Now, if two objects are initially at the same height (both cannonballs start 1 m above the ground)

And both objects have the same vertical velocity, we can conclude that both objects will hit the ground at the same time.

You can notice that the fact that one ball is fired horizontally and the other is only dropped does not affect this, because we only analyze the vertical problem, not the horizontal one. (This is something useful to remember, we can separate the vertical and horizontal movement in these type of problems)

• A flame always points upwards. Why do you think this is so?
valina [46]

Answer:

A flame always point upwards because the flame's gas is hotter than the surrounding air and, like you said, a hot gas is always lighter or less dense than a cold gas.

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

theres an decrease in temperature because 252,000 is more than 42,000. so its colder and not as hot as 252,000.
