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

A ball is projected into the air with 100 j of kinetic energy which is transformed to gravitational potential energy at the top
raketka [301]
<span>when it returns to its original level after encountering air resistance, its kinetic energy is decreased. 
In fact, part of the energy has been dissipated due to the air resistance.

The mechanical energy of the ball as it starts the motion is:
</span>E=K = 100 J
<span>where K is the kinetic energy, and where there is no potential energy since we use the initial height of the ball as reference level.
If there is no air resistance, this total energy is conserved, therefore when the ball returns to its original height, the kinetic energy will still be 100 J. However, because of the presence of the air resistance, the total mechanical energy is not conserved, and part of the total energy of the ball has been dissipated through the air. Therefore, when the ball returns to its original level, the kinetic energy will be less than 100 J.</span>

Henrietta is going off to her physics class, jogging down the sidewalk at a speed of 2.70 m/s. Her husband Bruce suddenly realiz
Katen [24]

Answer:

The velocity is v  =  6.66 \  m/s

Henrietta is at distance s=  18.17 \  m from the under the window

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The speed of Henrietta is v=  2.70 \ m/s

The height of the window from the ground is h  =  36.5 \  m

Generally the time taken for the lunch to reach the ground assuming it fell directly under the window is

t  =  \sqrt{\frac{2 *  h }{g} }

=> t  =  \sqrt{\frac{2 *  36.5 }{9,8} }

=> t  =  2.73 \  s

Generally the time taken for the lunch to reach Henrietta is mathematically represented as

T =  t +  t_1

Here t_1 is the time duration that elapsed after Henrietta has passed below the window the value is given as 4 s

Now

T = 2.73  +  4

=> T = 6.73 \  s

Generally the distance covered by Henrietta before catching her lunch is

s=  v  *  T

=> s=  2.70  * 6.73

=> s=  18.17 \  m

Generally the speed with which Bruce threw her lunch is mathematically represented as

v  =  \frac{18.17}{2.73}

v  =  6.66 \  m/s
