Two cyclists, 50 miles apart, start riding toward each other at the same time. One cycles 4 times as fast as the other, and they

meet after 2 hours of riding. a. Write an equation using the information as it is given above that can be solved to answer this problem. Use the variable r r to represent the speed of the slower cyclist?

Answer:speed of slower cyclist is 5 mph

Explanation:

Given

Distance between two cyclist is 50 miles

One cycle is 4 times fast as other

Speed of slower cyclist is r miles per hour

speed of faster cyclist is 4 r

they meet after t=2 hr

Distance traveled by fast cyclist is $x=2\times 4r$

Distance traveled by slower cyclist is $y=2\times r$

$x+y=50$

$2\times 4r+2\times r=50$

$8r+2r=50$

$10r=50$

$r=5 mph$

$4 r=20 mph$

speed of slower cyclist is 5 miles per hour

The horizontal bar rises at a constant rate of three hundred mm/s causing peg P to ride in the quarter circular slot. When coord

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Horizontal bar rises with 300 mm/s

Let us take the horizontal component of P be

$P_x=rcos\theta$

$P_y=rsin\theta$

where $\theta$ is angle made by horizontal bar with x axis

Velocity at y=150 mm

$150=300sin\theta$

thus $\theta =30^{\circ}$

position of $P_x=rcos\theta =300\cdot cos30=300\times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

$P_x=259.80 mm$

$P=259.80\hat{i}+150\hat{j}$

Velocity at this instant

$u_x=-rsin\theta =300\times sin30=-150 mm/s$

$u_y=rcos\theta =300\times cos30=259.80 mm/s$

A 0.300 kg block is pressed against a spring with a spring constant of 8050 N/m until the spring is compressed by 6.00 cm. When

natita [175]

Answer:

a) $\mu_{k} = 0.704$ , b) $R = 0.312\,m$

Explanation:

a) The minimum coeffcient of friction is computed by the following expression derived from the Principle of Energy Conservation:

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot k \cdot x^{2} = \mu_{k}\cdot m\cdot g \cdot \Delta s$

$\mu_{k} = \frac{k\cdot x^{2}}{2\cdot m\cdot g \cdot \Delta s}$

$\mu_{k} = \frac{\left(8050\,\frac{N}{m} \right)\cdot (0.06\,m)^{2}}{2\cdot (0.3\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (7\,m)}$

$\mu_{k} = 0.704$

b) The speed of the block is determined by using the Principle of Energy Conservation:

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot k \cdot x^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v^{2}$

$v = x\cdot \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }$

$v = (0.06\,m)\cdot \sqrt{\frac{8050\,\frac{N}{m} }{0.3\,kg} }$

$v \approx 9.829\,\frac{m}{s}$

The radius of the circular loop is:

$\Sigma F_{r} = -90\,N -(0.3\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} ) = -(0.3\,kg)\cdot \frac{v^{2}}{R}$

$\frac{\left(9.829\,\frac{m}{s}\right)^{2}}{R} = 309.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

$R = 0.312\,m$
