"A trooper is moving due south along the freeway at a speed of 28 m/s. At time t = 0, a red car passes the trooper. The red car

moves with constant velocity of 40 m/s southward. At the instant the trooper's car is passed, the trooper begins to speed up at a constant rate of 2.9 m/s2. What is the maximum distance ahead of the trooper that is reached by the red car?"

Answer:

24.83 m

Explanation:

Applying the equation of motion;

d = vt + 0.5at^2 ......1

Where;

d = distance

v = velocity

t = time

a = acceleration

For the trooper;

v = 28 m/s

a = 2.9 m/s^2

Substituting into equation 1;

d1 = 28t + 0.5(2.9t^2)

d1 = 28t + 1.45t^2

For the red car;

v = 40 m/s

a = 0

Substituting into equation 1

d2 = 40t

The difference in distance is;

d = d2 - d1

d = 40t - (28t + 1.45t^2)

d = 12t - 1.45t^2

The maximum distance is at d(d)/dt = 0

differentiating d;

d' = 12 - 2.9t = 0

2.9t = 12

t = 12/2.9 = 4.137931034482

t = 4.138 s

Substituting t into function d;

d(max) = 12(4.138) - 1.45(4.138^2)

d(max) = 24.8275862 = 24.83 m

the maximum distance ahead of the trooper that is reached by the red car is 24.83 m

A horizontal pipe of diameter 1.03m has a smooth constriction to a section of diameter 0.618 m. The density of oil flowing in th

vodka [1.7K]

Velocity of the oil in the pipe: 0.76 m/s, in the constricted section: 5.87 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using Bernoulli's equation:

$p_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 = p_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2$ (1)

where

$p_1 = 7340 N/m^2$ is the pressure in the pipe

$p_2 = 5505 N/m^2$ is the pressure in the constricted section

$\rho = 821 kg/m^3$ is the density of the oil

$v_1$ is the velocity of the oil in the pipe

$v_2$ is the velocity of the oil in the constricted section

Also, according to the continuity equation,

$A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2$

where

$A_1 = \pi r_1^2$ is the cross-sectional area of the pipe, with

$r_1 = \frac{1.03}{2}=0.515 m$ is the radius

$A_2 = \pi r_2^2$ is the cross-sectional area of the constricted section, with

$r_2=\frac{0.618}{2}=0.309 m$ is the radius

So the equation becomes

$r_1^2 v_1 = r_2^2 v_2$

So we can write

$v_2=\frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2}v_1$

Substituting into eq.(1),

$p_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 = p_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho (\frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2}v_1)^2$

And solving the equation for $v_1$ :

$p_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 = p_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho \frac{r_1^4}{r_2^4}v_1^2\\v_1=\sqrt{\frac{p_2-p_1}{\frac{1}{2}\rho-\frac{1}{2}\rho \frac{r_1^4}{r_2^4}}}=0.76 m/s$

And the velocity in the constricted section is

$v_2=\frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2}v_1=5.87 m/s$

The mass of a radioactive substance follows a continuous exponential decay model, with a decay rate parameter of 1% per day. A s

Bumek [7]

Answer:

2,38kg

Explanation:

Mass in function of time can be found by the formula: $m_{(t)} =m_{0} e^{-kt}$ , where $m_{0}$ is the initial mass, t is the time and k is a constant.

Given that a sample decay 1% per day, that means that after first day you have 99% of mass.

$m_{(1)} =m_{0} e^{-k(1)}$ , but $m_{(1)}=\frac{99m_{0} }{100}$ , so we have $\frac{99m_{0} }{100}=m_{0}e^{-k}$ , then $k=-ln(\frac{99}{100})=0.01$

Now using k found we must to find $m_{(5)}$ .

$m_{(5)}=m_{0}e^{-(0.01)5}=2.5kge^{-0.05} =2.5x0.951=2.38kg$

A spherical capacitor contains a charge of 3.40 nC when connected to a potential difference of 240.0 V. Its plates are separated

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

A) 1.4167 × 10^(-11) F

B) r_a = 0.031 m

C) E = 3.181 × 10⁴ N/C

Explanation:

We are given;

Charge;Q = 3.40 nC = 3.4 × 10^(-9) C

Potential difference;V = 240 V

Inner radius of outer sphere;r_b = 4.1 cm = 0.041 m

A) The formula for capacitance is given by;

C = Q/V

C = (3.4 × 10^(-9))/240

C = 1.4167 × 10^(-11) F

B) To find the radius of the inner sphere,we will make use of the formula for capacitance of spherical coordinates.

C = (4πε_o)/(1/r_a - 1/r_b)

Rearranging, we have;

(1/r_a - 1/r_b) = (4πε_o)/C

ε_o is a constant with a value of 8.85 × 10^(−12) C²/N.m

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

(1/r_a - 1/0.041) = (4π × 8.85 × 10^(−12) )/(1.4167 × 10^(-11))

(1/r_a) - 24.3902 = 7.8501

1/r_a = 7.8501 + 24.3902

1/r_a = 32.2403

r_a = 1/32.2403

r_a = 0.031 m

C) Formula for Electric field just outside the surface of the inner sphere is given by;

E = kQ/r_a²

Where k is a constant value of 8.99 × 10^(9) Nm²/C²

Thus;

E = (8.99 × 10^(9) × 3.4 × 10^(-9))/0.031²

E = 3.181 × 10⁴ N/C
