two byciclists, starting at the same place, are riding toward the same campground by two different routes. One cyclist rides 108
0 m due east and then turns due north and travels another 1430 m before reacing the campground. The second cyclist starts out by heading due north for 1950 m and then turns and heads directly toward the campground. (a) at the turning point, how far is the second cyclist from the campground
1 answer:
Answer: 1198 m
Hi, in the image you can see the routes taken by both cyclists.
Cyclist 1 route is AB then BC
Cyclist 2 route is AD then DC
C is the campground
You need to calculate DC (D is the turning point). You need to find the distance DX, and use Pythagoras theorem with the triangle DXC
You know that AB = 1080m, BC = 1430m, AD = 1950m
Then DX = 1950m - 1430m = 520m
= 1198m

Answer:
V = 0.714m/s
Explanation:
Full solution calculation can be found in the attachment below.
From the principle of conservation of linear momentum, the sum of momentum before collision equals the sum of momentum after collision.
Before collision only the train had momentum. After the collision the train and the boxcars stick together and move as one body. The initial momentum of the train is now shared with the boxcars as they move together as one body. The both move with a common velocity v.
See the attachment below for the solution calculation.
Answer:
= 5/9
Explanation:
This is an exercise that we can solve using Archimedes' principle which states that the thrust is equal to the weight of the desalted liquid.
B = ρ_liquid g V_liquid
let's write the translational equilibrium condition
B - W = 0
let's use the definition of density
ρ_body = m / V_body
m = ρ_body V_body
W = ρ_body V_body g
we substitute
ρ_liquid g V_liquid = ρ_body g V_body
In the problem they indicate that the ratio of densities is 5/9, we write the volume of the bar
V = A h_bogy
Thus
we substitute
5/9 =
Explanation:
Distance covered by the particle is given by:
Distance (d) = rate (v) × time (t)
Speed of Mary, v₁ = 50 mph
Speed of Jim, v₂ = 60 mph
It is assumed that, Mary and Jim leave at the same time. After one hour, Jim is 10 miles ahead.
Distance travelled by Jim, d₁ = (60t + 10)
Distance travelled by Mary, d₂ = 50t
The distance between Mary and Jim is greater than or equal to 100 miles.
So, Jim takes is 9 hours more than Mary to cover same distance. Hence, this is the required solution.
