Answer:

Laura is ahead and for a distance of 3.22 m

Explanation:

To solve this problem of one-dimensional kinematics, we have to find the acceleration and the final speed of each runner. Let's start with Laura

Lura data is acceleration time 1.82s, total run time 10.4 s and total distance 100m.  In all the races the  rest starts, so the initial speed is zero (Vo = 0)

   Vf1= Vo + a1 t1    

   Vf1 = x/t                

   XT  = X1 + X2

   X1 = Vo t1 + ½ a1 t1²  

   X1 = ½ a1 t1²  

   X2 = Vf1 (t-t1)

This is the remaining time of the race after the acceleration is over.

    XT = ½ a1 t1² + Vf1 (t-t1)

We remplace the expression of Vf1

     XT = ½ a1 t1² + a1 t1 (t-t1)

Laura's aceleration (a1) is

   a1= XT / [ ½  t1² + t1 (t-t1)]

   a1= 100/ [ ½ 1.82²+ 1.82 (10.4 -1.82)]

   a1=  5.79m/s2  

We repeat the same calculation for the other Healan runner, whose data are: total distance 100m, acceleration time 3.07 s and total time 10.4 s

Vf2= Vo + a2 t2    

Vf2 = x/t                

XT  = X3 + X4

X3 = Vo t2 + ½ a2 t2²  

X3 = ½ a2 t2²  

X4 = Vf2 (t-t2)

XT = ½ a2 t2² + Vf2 (t- t2)

XT = ½ a2 t2² + a2 t2 (t-t2)

The aceleration of Healan (a2)

a2 = XT / [½ t2² + t2 (t-t2)]

a2 = 100 / [½ 3,07²+ 3.07 (10.4 -3.07)]

a2 = 3.67 m / s2

We also need the final speeds of each runner

Laura Vf1 = Vo + a1 t1

          Vf1 = 0 + 5.79 1.82

          Vf1 = 10.54 m / s

Healan Vf2 = Vo + a2 t2

            Vf2 = 0 + 3.67 3.07

            Vf2 = 11.27 m / s

Having the acceleration and speed of each runner, you can start answering the questions

a) For t3 = 6.15s

Laura

The time to stop with constant speed is what remains after accelerating

XL= ½ a1 t1² + Vf1 (t3-t1)

XL= ½ 5.79 1.82² + 10.54 (6.15 – 1.82)    

XL= 55.23 m

Healan  

XH= ½ a2 t2² + Vf2 (t3-t2)

             XH= ½  3.67 3.07² + 11.27 (6.15-3.07)

             XH= 52.01 m

             (XL -XH)= 55.23- 52.01

             (XH -XL)=  3.22 m

It is appreciated from these results that Laura is ahead and for a distance of 3.22 m

b) If we analyze the acceleration values ​​of each runner, knowing that they leave the rest and that Healan at the end has a speed greater than Laura, the point of maximum distance difference is when Laura stops accelerating t = 1.82 s

      XL= ½  a1 t12  

      XL= ½ 5.79 1.822

      XL= 9.59 m

      XH = ½ a2 t12

      XH= ½ 3.67 1.822

      XH= 6.08 m

The maximum distance difference is 3.51 m

c) Already analyzed in the previous part 1.82 s, since the Laura stop accelerating and Heala continue with acceleration will travel greater distances in equal time units

A car moving in a straight line starts at X=0 at t=0. It passesthe point x=25.0 m with a speed of 11.0 m/s at t=3.0 s. It passes
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Average velocity v = 21.18 m/s

Average acceleration a = 2 m/s^2

Explanation:

Average speed equals the total distance travelled divided by the total time taken.

Average speed v = ∆x/∆t = (x2-x1)/(t2-t1)

Average acceleration equals the change in velocity divided by change in time.

Average acceleration a = ∆v/∆t = (v2-v1)/(t2-t1)

Where;

v1 and v2 are velocities at time t1 and t2 respectively.

And x1 and x2 are positions at time t1 and t2 respectively.

Given;

t1 = 3.0s

t2 = 20.0s

v1 = 11 m/s

v2 = 45 m/s

x1 = 25 m

x2 = 385 m

Substituting the values;

Average speed v = ∆x/∆t = (x2-x1)/(t2-t1)

v = (385-25)/(20-3)

v = 21.18 m/s

Average acceleration a = ∆v/∆t = (v2-v1)/(t2-t1)

a = (45-11)/(20-3)

a = 2 m/s^2

snow_lady [41]
Hello,

Here is your answer:

The proper answer to this question is option B "<span>third quarter".

Here is how:

Neap tides are caused when the moon is three thirds full which causes the current to up rise therefore making a neap tide.

Your answer is B.

Comment on the statement "Sharper the curve, more is the bending." ​
Tatiana [17]

The direction of the angular velocity of the minute hand of a wall-clock is perpendicular to the wall and directed inwards.

The passenger slides away from the centre of the curve.

The angle θ which a cyclist should make with the vertical while taking a circular turn of radius r with velocity v given by

tan θ = v^2/rg

Sharper the curve, smaller is the radius and greater is the value of 0.
