Two runners start simultaneously from the same point on a circular 200-m track and run in the same direction. One runs at a cons

tant speed of 6.20 m/s and the other runs at a constant speed of 5.50 m/s.When will the fast one first overtake ("lap") the slower one?How far from the starting point will each have run at that instant?When will the fast one overtake the slower one for the second time?How far from the starting point will they be at that instant?

Answer

given,

length of the track = 200 m

speed of runner 1 = 6.20 m/s

speed of the runner 2 = 5.5 m/s

distance covered by the fastest runner, d = 6.2 t

distance covered by the slow runner,d = 5.50 t + 200

time taken to overtake for the first time

 6.2 t = 5.50 t + 200

  0.7 t = 200

       t = 285.7 s

distance covered from the starting point

 d = 6.2 t

 d = 6.2 x 285.7

 d = 1771.43 m

for next overtaking time taken will be double

 t' = 258.7 x 2 = 571.4 s

distance travel by the runner from the starting point

d' = 6.2 t'

d' = 6.2 x 571.4

d' = 3542.68 m

Resistance increases with the length of the wire
Marta_Voda [28]
If the length of the wire increases, then the amount of resistance will also increase.

1. Take a long piece of wire and cut it 10 pieces. Those pieces should all be different sizes, one should be 5___ (units in meter, cm, inches, etc.), and the next should be 5 ___ (units in meter, cm, inches, etc.) more than the one before.
2. Take one piece of wire and measure the resistance using ___ and record the results in the data table.
3. Repeat the previous step with all the pieces of wire.
4. Compare and contrast the results you have found.

I hope this helps a bit :)

You drag a suitcase of mass 8.2 kg with a force of f at an angle 41.9 ◦ with respect to the horizontal along a surface with kine
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

35.6 N

Explanation:

We can consider only the forces acting along the horizontal direction to solve the problem.

There are two forces acting along the horizontal direction:

- The horizontal component of the pushing force, which is given by

F_x = F cos \theta

with \theta=41.9^{\circ}

- The frictional force, whose magnitude is

F_f = \mu mg

where \mu=0.33, m=8.2 kg and g=9.8 m/s^2.

The two forces have opposite directions (because the frictional force is always opposite to the motion), and their resultant must be zero, because the suitcase is moving with constant velocity (which means acceleration equals zero, so according to Newton's second law: F=ma, the net force is zero). So we can write:

F_x - F_f=0\\F_x = F_f\\F cos \theta = \mu mg\\F=\frac{\mu mg}{cos \theta}=\frac{(0.33)(8.2 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)}{cos(41.9^{\circ})}=35.6 N

If a nucleus decays by gamma decay to a daughter nucleus, which of the following statements about this decay are correct? (There
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A gamma particle is basically a photon of electromagnetic radiation with a short wavelength.

Symbol of a gamma particle is ^{0}_{0}\gamma. Hence, charge on a gamma particle is also 0.

For example, ^{234}_{91}Pa \rightarrow ^{234}_{91}Pa + ^{0}_{0}\gamma + Energy

So, when a nucleus decays by gamma decay to a daughter nucleus then there will occur no change in the number of protons and neutrons of the parent atom but there will be loss of energy as a nuclear reaction has occurred.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement daughter nucleus has the same number of nucleons as the original nucleus., is correct about if  a nucleus decays by gamma decay to a daughter nucleus.
