We can answer this using one of the equations of linear motion:

v = d / t

where:

v = velocity

d = distance

t = time

<span>In the problem, we are asked to find for the time in which Driver B will catch up to Driver A. Therefore,  find the time when dA = dB. Rearranging the equation and equation dA and dB will result in:</span>

<span>vA * tA = vB * tB  ---> 1</span>

It was given that:

vA = 68 mph

tA = tB + 3 (since person A was travelling 3 hours earlier)

vB = 85 mph

tB = unknown

Substituting into equation 1:

68 * (tB + 3) = 85 * tB

68 tB + 204 = 85 tB

tB = 12 hrs

Therefore driver B would catch up to driver A after 12 hrs.

A petrol tanker ha 2800kg when empty and hold 30m3 0f petrol when full. The denity of petrol i 740kg/m3. Calculate the ma of the
White raven [17]

The mass of the tanker with petrol is 250000 N.

We are given that,

Mass of tanker= m =2800 kg

Volume of petrol= v =30 m³

Density of petrol= d =740 kg/m³

Thus , mass , density and volume relation can be given as,

density= mass/ Volume

Mass = Density × Volume

Mass = 740× 30

Mass = 22200 kg

The mass of the petrol is 22200 kg.

Total mass of tanker with petrol = Mass of petrol + Mass of tanker

Total mass of tanker with petrol= 22200+ 2800 kg

Total mass of tanker with petrol= 25000 kg

Total weight of the tanker with petrol = Mass of tanker full of petrol× g

Where, weight = m × g ,(g =10m/s²)

Total weight of the tanker with petrol= 25000×10 = 250000 N

Therefore, the mass of petrol, total mass of tanker with petrol and weight of tanker with petrol would be  22200 kg, 25000 kg and 250000 N.

Ryan applied a force of 10N and moved a book 30 cm in the direction of the force. How much was the workdone by Ryan?​
Xelga [282]
<h2><u>Question</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h2>

Ryan applied a force of 10N and moved a book 30 cm in the direction of the force. How much was the work done by Ryan?

<h2><u>Answer:</u><u>-</u></h2>

<h3>Given,</h3>

=> Force applied by Ryan = 10N

=> Distance covered by the book after applying force = 30 cm

<h3>And,</h3>

30 cm = 0.3 m (distance)

<h3>So,</h3>

=> Work done = Force × Distance

=> 10 × 0.3

=> 3 Joules

\small \boxed{work \: done \:  by \: Ryan \:  = 3 \: Joules}

A hockey puck is sliding across a frozen pond with an initial speed of 9.3 m/s. It comes to rest after sliding a distance of 42.
kondaur [170]

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the puck and the ice is 0.11

Explanation:

Given;

initial speed, u = 9.3 m/s

sliding distance, S = 42 m

From equation of motion we determine the acceleration;

v² = u² + 2as

0 = (9.3)² + (2x42)a

- 84a = 86.49

a = -86.49/84

|a| = 1.0296

F_k = \mu_k N = ma

where;

Fk is the frictional force

μk is the coefficient of kinetic friction

N is the normal reaction = mg

μkmg = ma

μkg = a

μk = a/g

where;

g is the gravitational constant = 9.8 m/s²

μk = a/g

μk = 1.0296/9.8

μk = 0.11

Therefore, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the puck and the ice is 0.11
