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

HURRY Which change is an example of transforming potential energy to kinetic energy
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

C.  changing nuclear energy to radiant energy

Explanation:

Nuclear energy takes atoms in their potential state, split them (fission) or fuse them (fusion)  creating chain reactions of radiant energy.  Most nuclear electrical power plants use fission, radiant energy heats water making steam to spin turbines.

Or think of the atom bomb.  Definitely potential energy until the fuse starts detonation and chain reactions.  The radiant kinetic energy and shock waves were horrendous.

A constant net torque is applied to a rotating object. Which of the following best describes the object's motion? A constant net
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

The object will rotate with constant angular acceleration

Explanation:

According to the Newton's Second Law for Whenever there is more than one torque acting on a rigid body that posses fixed axis, the moment of inertia as well as the angular acceleration is equals or proportional to the summation of the torques. It gives details on the relationship between rotational kinematics and torque as well as moment of inertia. This can be represented by the below equation.

∑iτi=Iα.

.Therefore when constant net torque is applied to object that is rotating, the object will rotate with constant angular acceleration

1. What could be the energy of a flying aeroplane?<br><br> 2. Is work the same as power?
Doss [256]

Explanation:

The total energy of an aircraft flying in the atmosphere can be calculated using equation 1. [2]

E = ½ m v2 + mgh

A Boeing 737-300 has a maximum takeoff weight of 5.65 × 104 kg, a cruise altitude of h = 10,195 m, and cruise speed of 221 m/sec. Inserting these numbers into the above equation, we obtain 7.03 GJ for the energy at cruise conditions. [3] However, the engines mounted onto the wings of the plane are required to provide additional energy per time, power, in order to keep the aircraft flying at a constant altitude and speed

Work is the energy needed to apply a force to move an object a particular distance, where force is parallel to the displacement. Power is the rate at which that work is done.

A gamma ray burst produces radiation that has a period of 3.6x10-21 s. What wavelength does this radiation have?
Olin [163]

Answer:

The radiation wavelength is  1.08 X 10⁻¹² m

Explanation:

Frequency is the ratio of speed of photon to its wavelength

F = c/λ

where;

c is the speed of the photon = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ is the wavelength of gamma ray = ?

F is the frequency of the gamma ray = 1/T

T is the period of radiation = 3.6x10⁻²¹ s

\frac{1}{T}  = \frac{c}{\lambda}

λ = T*C

λ = 3.6x10⁻²¹ *  3 x 10⁸

λ =  1.08 X 10⁻¹² m

Therefore, the radiation wavelength is  1.08 X 10⁻¹² m
