Answer:

Total distance traveled by bird is 10.5 km.

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of runner= 8.4 km/hr

Distance = 6.3 km

Velocity of bird = 42 km/hr

Suppose, How far does the bird travel?

We need to calculate the time of bird

Using formula of time

$t=\dfrac{d}{v_{b}}$

Put the value into the formula

$t=\dfrac{6.3}{42}$

$t=0.15\ hr$

We need to calculate the distance runner travels during time period

Using formula of distance

$d=v_{r}\times t$

$d=8.4\times0.15$

$d=1.26\ km$

We need to calculate the distance of runner to FL

Using distance

$d'=6.3-1.26$

$d'=5.04\ km$

We need to calculate the net closing speed between runner and bird

Using speed

$v'=v_{r}+v_{b}$

$v'=8.4+42$

$v'=50.4\ km/hr$

We need to calculate the time for runner and bird to meet

Using formula of time

$t=\dfrac{d}{v'}$

Put the value into the formula

$t=\dfrac{5.04}{50.4}$

$t=0.1\ hr$

We need to calculate the distance covered by runner

Using formula of distance

$d=vt$

Put the value into the formula

$d=8.4\times0.1$

$d=0.84\ km$

We need to calculate the distance covered by bird to runner

Using formula of distance

$d=vt$

Put the value into the formula

$d=42\times0.1$

$d=4.2\ km$

We need to calculate the total distance

Using distance

$D=6.3+4.2$

$D=10.5\ km$

Hence, Total distance traveled by bird is 10.5 km.

If the 78.0 kg astronaut were in a spacecraft 6R from the center of the earth, what would the astronaut's weight be on earth? 76

den301095 [7]

(a) 764.4 N

The weight of the astronaut on Earth is given by:

$F=mg$

where

m is the astronaut's mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Here we have

m = 78.0 kg

g = 9.8 m/s^2 at the Earth's surface

So the weight of the astronaut is

$F=(78.0)(9.8)=764.4 N$

(b) 21.1 N

The spacecraft is located at a distance of

$r=6R$

from the center of Earth.

The acceleration due to gravity at a generic distance r from the Earth's center is

$g=\frac{GM}{r^2}$

where G is the gravitational constant and M is the Earth's mass.

We know that at a distance of r = R (at the Earth's surface) the value of g is 9.8 m/s^2, so we can write:

$GM=9.8R^2$ (1)

the acceleration due to gravity at r=6R instead will be

$g'=\frac{GM}{(6R)^2}$

And substituting (1) into this formula,

$g'=\frac{9.8R^2}{36R^2}=0.27 m/s^2$

So the weight of the astronaut at the spacecratf location is

$F'=mg'=(78.0 kg)(0.27 m/s^2)=21.1 N$

A small boat is moving at a velocity of 1.93 m/s when it is accelerated by a river current perpendicular to the initial directio

olasank [31]

Answer:

16.405m/s

Explanation:

Given, initial velocity = u = 1.93m/s, acceleration = a = 0.750m/s2, time = t = 19.3s, final velocity = v= ?

Using the first equation of linear motion,

v = u + at

v = 1.93 + 0.750 x 19.3

v = 1.93 + 14.475

v = 16.405m/s

Fire could be considered a living thing

dedylja [7]

anything that contains one cell of life is considered a living thing, a fire however does not contain any cells so it is not considered a living thing/organism

A uniform brick of length 25 m is placed over

Harlamova29_29 [7]

The system of two rods will lie on the table as show in the figure

The center of first rod will lie exactly at the edge of first rod and then the center of mass of two combined rods will lie at the edge of the table.

So now the whole system will rest on the rod and it will not tipping off.

Since both rods are identical so we can say that the system will have its center of mass at the mid point on the line joining the two centers

So the value of x will be at mid point of line joining the two points on rod

$x = \frac{12.5}{2} = 6.25 cm$

So total length over the edge will be given as

$L = 6.25 cm + 12.5 cm = 18.75 cm$
