You are walking down a straight path in a park and notice there is another person walking some distance ahead of you. The distan

ce between the two of you remains the same, so you deduce that you are walking at the same speed of 1.25 m/s. Suddenly, you notice a wallet on the ground. You pick it up and realize it belongs to the person in front of you. To catch up, you start running at a speed of 2.75 m/s. It takes you 12.5 s to catch up and deliver the lost wallet. How far ahead of you was this person when you started running

Answer:

18.8m

Explanation:

This implies calculating the relative speed first then find the distance d

So

relative speed = 2.75- 1.25 = 1.5 m/s

So assume the distance between them to be say d

so, d/1.5= 12.5

d = 18.8m

Elodia [21]

Explanation :

A power amplifier is used to amplify electric signals i.e. to increase the low power signal to higher powers.

A PNP transistor is connected in a circuit so that the collector-base junction remains reverse biased and the emitter-base junction is forward biased.

This transistor can be used as a power amplifier because it gives a much larger output current. The gain of an amplifier shows the amount of amplification. It is the difference between the input and the output signals.

A car moves along a curved road of diameter 2 km. If the maximum velocity for safe driving on this path is 30 m/s, at what angle
Leto [7]
The maximum velocity in a banked road, ignoring friction, is given by;

v = Sqrt (Rg tan ∅), where R = Radius of the curved road = 2*1000/2 = 1000 m, g = gravitational acceleration = 9.81 m/s^2, ∅ = Angle of bank.

Substituting;
30 m/s = Sqrt (1000*9.81*tan∅)
30^2 = 1000*9.81*tan∅
tan ∅ = (30^2)/(1000*9.81) = 0.0917
∅ = tan^-1(0.0917) = 5.24°

Therefore, the road has been banked at 5.24°.

Two students are on a balcony 19.1 m above the street. One student throws a ball, b1, vertically downward at 13.9 m/s. At the sa
tester [92]

Answer:

Part a)

t = 2.83 s

Part b)

Ball thrown downwards =v_f = 23.8 m/s

Ball thrown upwards =v_f = 23.8 m/s

Part c)

d = 22.24 m

Explanation:

Part a)

Since both the balls are projected with same speed in opposite directions

So here the time difference is the time for which the ball projected upward will move up and come back at the same point of projection

Afterwards the motion will be same as the first ball which is projected downwards

so here the time difference is given as

\Delta y = 0 = v_y t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

0 = 13.9 t - \frac{1}{2}(9.81) t^2

t = 2.83 s

Part b)

Since the displacement in y direction for two balls is same as well as the the initial speed is also same so final speed is also same for both the balls

so it is given as

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a \Delta y

v_f^2 - (13.9)^2 = (2)(-9.81)(-19.1)

v_f^2 = 567.9

v_f = 23.8 m/s

Part c)

Relative speed of two balls is given as

v_{12} = v_1 - v_2

v_{12} = (13.9) - (-13.9) = 27.8 m/s

now the distance between two balls in 0.8 s is given as

d = v_{12} t

d = 27.8 \times 0.8

d = 22.24 m

Can someone explain the normal force? where does it come from? ...?
Vilka [71]
<span>The normal force is the support force exerted upon an object which is in contact with another stable object. For example, if a book is resting upon a surface, then the surface is exerting an upward force upon the book in order to support the weight of the book. The normal force in itseñf comes from the third law of Newton as a reactive force</span>

When the temperature of the air is 50°C, the velocity of a sound wave traveling through the air is approximately?
noname [10]

The answer is:

C. 361 m/s

The explanation:

To calculate  the speed of sound at a given temperature (50°C) we are going to use this formula:

v = 331 + 0.6T

when V is the velocity

and T is the temperature = 50°C

by substitution:

v = 331 + 0.6(50)

v = 361 m/s

So, The correct answer is C.

because of the variation of the motion of the molecules of air with change of temperature so, the velocity (V) of the  sound in the air is change with temperature.
