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 student of 4 feet tall went for swimming in a pool. He saw the depth of water in the pole less than 4 feet .Will he sink , wri
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

he will not be drowned

Explanation:

Question says , the height of the student = 4 feet,

Depth of the pool( in feet ) be x ( say ) which is less than  4 feet,

Clearly, the depth of the pool < height of the student,

This means, if the student goes for swimming in the pool, however he does not know swimming, he will not be drowned until he is suffering from an injury or external force.

A 1200 kg car traveling north at 10 m/s is rear-ended by a 2000 kg truck traveling at 30 m/s. What is the total momentum before
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

The total momentum before and after collision is 72000 kg-m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of car = 1200 kg

Velocity of car = 10 m/s

Mass of truck = 2000 kg

Velocity of truck = 30 m/s

Using conservation of momentum

The total momentum before the collision is equal to the total momentum after collision.

m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})V

Where, m_{1}=mass of car

v_{1} =velocity of car

m_{1}=mass of truck

v_{1} =velocity of truck

Put the value into the formula

1200\times10+2000\times30=(1200+2000)V

V=\dfrac{1200\times10+2000\times30}{(1200+2000)}

V = 22.5\ m/s

Now, The total momentum before collision is

P=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}

P=1200\times10+2000\times30

P=72000\ kg-m/s

The total momentum after collision is

P=(m_{1}+m_{2})v_{2}

P=(1200+2000)\times22.5

P= 72000 kg-m/s

Hence, The total momentum before and after collision is 72000 kg-m/s.

The discharge of a stream is Choose one: likely to decrease downstream in arid regions and increase downstream in temperate regi
Sauron [17]

Answer:

<em>likely to decrease downstream in arid regions and increase downstream in temperate regions</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Arid regions are is a region with a severe lack of water, usually to the extent that affect the organisms living in the region. Arid regions are characterized by a very low depth of rainfall per year. Temperate region on the other hand experience more distinct seasonal change and wider temperature change. Temperate regions get a fairly large amount of rainfall per year.

In arid regions, the soil is very dry, and the rate of infiltration and percolation is high relative to the amount of rainfall available. The effect is that more water is infiltrated into the soil as you move downstream, leading to a decrease in the discharge of a stream as you move downstream. Most temperate region have soils that are usually saturated in the peak of the rainfall season, leading to a greater stream discharge as you move downstream.
