Runner A is initially 6.0 km west of a flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 9.0 km/h due east. Runner B is initia

lly 5.0 km east of the flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 8.0 km/h due west. What will be the distance of the two runners from the flagpole when their paths cross

Answer:

From the data we know that runner A and runner B are 11 km apart from the start because (6+5) km

So the runner from the east direction has distance as unknown km, rate= 9 k/h ; time= d/r=x/9 hr

So runner towards the west will be

distance = 11-x, rate= 8 k/h, time = d/r = (11-x)/8

So equating east and west time we have

x/9= (11-x)/8

8x=99-9x

17x=99

x=5.92 km

That is the distance covered by runner towards the east and he will meet the runner toward the west at

6-5.92=0.08 km west of the flagpole.

How could two waves on a rope interfere so the rope does not move at all?
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

If a crest formed by one wave interferes with a trough formed by the other wave then the rope will not move at all.

Explanation:

Assume a straight rope tied to both ends is at rest. When a wave is created at one end of the rope, it travels to the other end of the rope through formation of alternative crest and trough. Due to these crest and trough the rope shifts up and down.

But when there are two waves travelling through the rope and both have opposite direction (directed towards one another) in such a way that crest formed by one wave is interfering with the trough formed by the other wave then due to this interference the waves will cancel the effects of each other on the rope and rope will be stable.

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The total amount of CO₂ produced will be  = 20680 kg/year

The reduction in the amount of CO₂ emissions by that household per year = 3102 kg/year

Explanation:

Given:

Power used by household = 14000 kWh

Fuel oil used = 3400 L

CO₂ produced of fuel oil = 3.2 kg/L

CO₂ produced of electricity = 0.70 kg/kWh

Now, the total amount of CO₂ produced will be = (14000 kWh × 0.70 kg/kWh) + (3400 L × 3.2 kg/L)

⇒ The total amount of CO₂ produced will be = 9800 + 10880 = 20680 kg/year

Now,

if the usage of electricity and fuel oil is reduced by 15%, the reduction in the amount of the CO₂ emission will be = 0.15 × 20680 kg/year = 3102 kg/year

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

A) True, B) False, C) False  and  D) false

Explanation:

Let's solve the problem using the law of conservation of energy to know if the statements are true or false

Let's look for mechanical energy

Initial

     Emo = Ke = ½ k Dx2

Final

     Em1= ½ m v12

     Emo = Em1

     ½ k Δx2 = ½ m v₁²

    v₁² = k / m Δx²

    v₁ = √ k/m   Δx

Now let's calculate the speed when it falls

   Vfy² = Voy² - 2gy

   Vfy² = - 2gy

   Vf² = v₁² + vfy²

A) True     v₁ = A Δx

.B) False. As there is no rubbing the mechanical energy conserves

.C) False the velocity is proportional to the square root of the height

     v2y = v2 √2

. D) false promotional compression speed
