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

The air in a car tire la compressed when the car rolls over a rock. If the air
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

the signs of heat and work are; -Q and -W

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics is given by; ΔU = Q − W

where;

ΔU is the change in internal energy of a system,

Q is the net heat transfer (the sum of all heat transfer into and out of the system)

W is the net work done (the sum of all work done on or by the system).

Now, The system in this case is the tire and since the air gets warmer, heat must have left the system. Therefore Q is negative (-Q).

Since work is done by the system, W remains negative.

Thus, the signs of heat and work are; -Q and - W

6. An excited dog runs full-speed toward his owner who has just returned home from
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

v = 8.65 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance covered by the doge, d = 45 m

Time taken, t = 5.2 s

We need to find its average speed. The total distance covered divided by the total time taken is called the average speed of an object. So,

v=\dfrac{45\ m}{5.2\ s}\\\\=8.65\ m/s

So, the average speed is 8.65 m/s.

The position of a particle is given by ~r(t) = (3.0 t2 ˆi + 5.0 ˆj j 6.0 t kˆ) m
Julli [10]

Answer:

v=(6ti+6k)\ m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The position of a particle is given by :

r(t) = (3.0 t^2 i + 5.0j+ 6.0 tk) m

Let us assume we need to find its velocity.

We know that,

v=\dfrac{dr}{dt}\\\\=\dfrac{d}{dt}(3.0 t^2 i + 5.0j+ 6.0 tk) \\\\=(6ti+6k)\ m/s

So, the velocity of the particle is (6ti+6k)\ m/s.

A 20-cm long spring is attached to the wall. When pulled horizontally with a force of 100N, the spring stretches to a length of
suter [353]

Answer:

Explanation:

Part 0

All the spring moves is 2 cm

x = 2 cm * [1 m / 100 cm ]

x = 0.020 meters

F = k*d

100N = k * 0.02 m

100 N / 0.02 = k

5000 N / m

Part A

The spring feels a force of 100 N - - 100N = 200 N because each person is pulling in the opposite direction.

F = k * x

200N = 5000 N/m * d

200 / 5000 = d

d = 0.04 meters.

Part B

10.2 kg must be converted to a force as experienced here on earth.

F = m * g

g = 9.81

m = 10.2

F = 10.2 * 9.81

F = 100.06 N

F = k * d

100.06 = 5000 * d

d = 100.06 / 5000

d = 0.02 meters.
