Two steamrollers begin 100 m apart and head toward each other, each at a constant speed of 1.00 m/s . At the same instant, a fly

that travels at a constant speed of 2.40 m/s starts from the front roller of the southbound steamroller and flies to the front roller of the northbound one, then turns around and flies to the front roller of the southbound once again, and continues in this way until it is crushed between the steamrollers in a collision.
What distance does the fly travel?

Answer:

The fly travels 2.4 m

Explanation:

Since the Two steamrollers begin 100 m apart and head toward each other, each at a constant speed of 1.00 m/s, we can find the time until they crash by the formula:

Distance = Speed × Time

Time = Distance /Speed

Time = (100 m) / (1 m/s)

Time = 100 hours

Now, the fly will spend the same amount of time traveling as the steamrollers.

Since the fly moves at a speed of 2.4 m/s and we have a time of one hour the steamroller take to collide, then the fly will go a distance of;

Distance = speed x time = 2.4 × 1 = 2.4 m

A baseball is projected horizontally with an initial speed of 18.1 m/s from a height of 1.85 m. at what horizontal distance will
gtnhenbr [62]
1) The motion of the baseball consists of two separate motions along the horizontal (x) and vertical (y) axis. The position on the two directions at time t is given by:
x(t)=v_0t
y(t)=h- \frac{1}{2}gt^2
where the motion on the x-axis is a uniform motion with constant speed v_0=18.1 m/s, while the motion on the y-axis is a uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.81 m/s^2, and initial height h=1.85 m.

First of all, we can find the time t at which the ball reaches the ground by requiring y(t)=0:
0=h- \frac{1}{2}gt^2
t= \sqrt{ \frac{2h}{g} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2(1.85 m)}{9.81 m/s^2} }=  0.61 s

and if now we substitute this time into the equation for x(t), we find the horizontal distance covered during this time interval, which is the horizontal distance covered by the ball before hitting the ground:
x(t)=v_0 t=(18.1 m/s)(0.61 s)=11.04 m

2) Speed of the ball as it hits the ground
We need to find the components of the velocity on the two directions, at the istant when the ball hits the ground.
On the x-axis, the velocity is the same as the initial one: 
v_x=18.1 m/s
On the y-axis, the velocity is given by
v_y(t)=gt
If we substitute t=0.61 s (the time at which the ball reaches the ground), we find
v_y =gt=(9.81 m/s^2)(0.61 s)=6.0 m/s
And the speed of the ball is the magnitude of the resultant of the two components:
v= \sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}= \sqrt{(18.1 m/s)^2+(6.0 m/s)^2}=19.1 m/s

A circular rod has a radius of curvature R = 9.09 cm and a uniformly distributed positive charge Q = 6.49 pC and subtends an ang
Digiron [165]

Answer:

E = 1.19 N/C

Explanation:

Let's first determine the length of the arc which can be given as:

L= Rθ

where:

L = length of the arc

R = radius of curvature

θ = angle in radius

L = (9.09×10⁻²m)(2.59)

L = (0.0909)(2.59)

L = 0.235431 m

Then, the magnitude of electric field that Q produces at the center of curvature can be calculated by using the formula:

E= \frac{\lambda}{4 \pi E_oR}[sin\frac{\theta}{2}-sin(-\frac{\theta}{2})]

E= \frac{\lambda}{4 \pi E_oR}[sin\frac{\theta}{2}+sin(\frac{\theta}{2})]

E= \frac{2\lambda}{4 \pi E_oR}[sin\frac{\theta}{2}]

Since \lambda = \frac{Q}{L}

where;

L = length

Q = charge

λ =  density of the charge;

then substituting \frac{Q}{L} for λ, we have :

E= \frac{2(\frac{Q}{L})}{4 \pi E_oR}[sin\frac{\theta}{2}]

E= \frac{2Q[sin\frac{\theta}{2}]}{4 \pi E_oLR}

substituting our given parameter; we have:

E= \frac{2(6.26*10^{-12}C)[sin\frac{2.59rad}{2}]}{4 \pi (8.85*10^{-12}C^2/N.m^2)(0.235431)(0.0909)}

E = 1.1889 N/C

E = 1.19 N/C

∴ the magnitude of the electric field that Q produces at the center of curvature = 1.19 N/C

A gas is confined to a vertical cylinder by a piston of mass 2 kg and radius 1 cm. When 5J of heat are added, the piston rises b
Anarel [89]

The work done by gas is 0.753 J and change in internal energy is 4.247J

So we are given that mass is 2kg , radius 1 cm and the amount of heat is 5 cm

The piston raised by 2.4cm

As we know that Work done is PΔV

Where ΔV is change in volume

Therefore ΔV =  πr^2 h = π x (.01)^2 x .024 =7.53×10^(-6)m^3

Here pressure is 10^5 pa

So W = 10^5\times7.53\times10^-(6)

Therefore W = 0.753 J

Now coming to change in internal energy

Change in Internal Energy = Heat Added - Energy lost in work

∴ 5J - 0.753 J = 4.247J

Hence the change in internal energy is 4.247 J
