Willie, in a 100.0 m race, initially accelerates uniformly from rest at 2.00 m/s2 until reaching his top speed of 12.0 m/s. He m

aintained this speed until he is 16.0 m from the finish line but then fades and decelerates uniformly, crossing the line with a speed of only 8.00 m/s. What is Willie’s total time for the race? Please show your steps :)

Answer:

The total time for the race is 11.6 seconds

Explanation:

The parameters given are;

Total distance ran by Willie = 100.0 m

Initial acceleration = 2.00m/s²

Top speed reached with initial acceleration = 12.0 m/s

Point where Willie start to fade and decelerate = 16.0 m from the finish line

Speed with which Willie crosses the finish line = 8.00 m/s

The time and distance covered with the initial acceleration are found using the following equations of motion;

v = u₀ + a·t

v² = u₀² + 2·a·s

Where:

v = Final velocity reached with the initial acceleration = 12.0 m/s

u₀ = Initial velocity at the start of the race = 0 m/s

t = Time during acceleration

a = Initial acceleration = 2.00 m/s²

s = Distance covered during the period of initial acceleration

From, v = u₀ + a·t, we have;

12 = 0 + 2×t

t = 12/2 = 6 seconds

From, v² = u₀² + 2·a·s, we have;

12² = 0² + 2×2×s

144 = 4×s

s = 144/4 =36 meters

Given that the Willie maintained the top speed of 12.0 m/s until he was 16.0 m from the finish line, we have;

Distance covered at top speed = 100 - 36 - 16 = 48 meters

Time, t_t of running at top speed = Distance/velocity = 48/12 = 4 seconds

The deceleration from top speed to crossing the line is found as follows;

v₁² = u₁² + 2·a₁·s₁

Where:

u₁ = v = 12 m/s

v₁ = The speed with which Willie crosses the line = 8.00 m/s

s₁ = Distance covered during decelerating = 16.0 m

a₁ = Deceleration

From which we have;

8² = 12² + 2 × a × 16

64 = 144 + 32·a

64 - 144 = 32·a

32·a = -80

a = -80/32 = -2.5 m/s²

From, v₁ = u₁ + a₁·t₁

Where:

t₁ = Time of deceleration

We have;

8 = 12 + (-2.5)·t₁

t₁ = (8 - 12)/(-2.5) = 1.6 seconds

The total time = t + t_t + t₁ =6 + 4 + 1.6 = 11.6 seconds.

A 10-m-long glider with a mass of 680 kg (including the passengers) is gliding horizontally through the air at 34 m/s when a 60
german

Answer:

34 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of glider with person = 680 kg

v = Velocity of glider with person = 34 m/s

m_1 = Mass of glider without person = 680-60 kg

v_1 = Gliders speed just after the skydiver lets go

m_2 = Mass of person = 60 kg

v_2 = Velcotiy of person = 34 m/s

As the linear momentum of the system is conserved

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=mv\\\Rightarrow v_1=\dfrac{mv-m_2v_2}{m_1}\\\Rightarrow v_1=\dfrac{680\times 34-60\times 34}{680-60}\\\Rightarrow v_1=34\ m/s

The gliders speed just after the skydiver lets go is 34 m/s

12) A neutral atom has two, eight, eight electrons in its first, second, and third energy levels.This information ________.
pentagon [3]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

Option C

The information given in the question tells us about the number of electrons in an atom and also the number of shells in the atom. So, we will come to know about the atomic number, size and chemical properties of the atom. But we cannot determine atomic mass. Atomic mass is a function of number of neutrons and protons.

Three crates with various contents are pulled by a force Fpull=3615 N across a horizontal, frictionless roller‑conveyor system.
SIZIF [17.4K]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Three crtaes with various contents are pulled by a force Fpull=3615N across a horizontal, frictionless roller-conveyor system.The group pf boxes accelerates at 1.516m/s2 to the right. Between each adjacent pair of boxes is a force meter that measures the magnitude of the tension in the connecting rope. Between the box of mass m1 and the box of mass m2, the force meter reads F12=1387N. Between the box of mass m2 and box of mass m3, the force meter reads F23=2304N. Assume that the ropes and force meters are massless.

(a) What is the total mass of the three boxes?

(b) What is the mass of each box?

Answer: (a) Total mass = 2384.5kg;

               (b) m1 = 915kg;

                   m2 = 605kg;

                   m3 = 864.5kg;

Explanation: The image of the boxes is described in the picture below.

(a) The system is moving at a constant acceleration and with a force Fpull. Using Newton's 2nd Law:

F_{pull}=m_{T}.a

m_{T}=\frac{F_{pull}}{a}

m_{T}=\frac{3615}{1.516}

m_{T}=2384.5

Total mass of the system of boxes is 2384.5kg.

(b) For each mass, analyse each box and make them each a free-body diagram.

<u>For </u>m_{1}<u>:</u>

The only force acting On the m_{1} box is force of tension between 1 and 2 and as all the system is moving at a same acceleration.

m_{1} = \frac{F_{12}}{a}

m_{1} = \frac{1387}{1.516}

m_{1} = 915kg

<u>For </u>m_{2}<u>:</u>

There are two forces acting on m_{2}: tension caused by box 1 and tension caused by box 3. Positive referential is to the right (because it's the movement's direction), so force caused by 1 is opposing force caused by 3:

m_{2} = \frac{F_{23}-F_{12}}{a}

m_{2} = \frac{2304-1387}{1.516}

m_{2} = 605kg

<u>For </u>m_{3}<u>:</u>

m_{3} = m_{T} - (m_{1}+m_{2})

m_{3} = 2384.5-1520.0

m_{3} = 864.5kg
