As a physics instructor hurries to the bus stop, her bus passes her, stops ahead, and begins loading passengers. She runs at 6.0

m/s to catch the bus, but the door closes when she's still 6.0 m behind the door, and the bus leaves the stop at a constant acceleration of 2.0 m/s2 . She has missed her bus, but as a physics exercise she keeps running at 6.0 m/s until she draws even with the bus door. She keeps running at a constant 6.0 m/s after drawing even with the bus door and pulls ahead for a while, but the accelerating bus soon overtakes her. By what maximum distance does she get ahead of the door?

velocity of the physics instructor with respect to bus

v = 6 m/s

acceleration of the bus is given as

a = 2 m/s^2

acceleration of instructor with respect to bus is given as

a = -2 m/s^2

now the maximum distance that instructor will move with respect to bus is given as

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

0 - 6^2 = 2(-2)(d)

-36 = - 4 d

d = 9 m

so the position of the instructor with respect to door is exceed by

\delta x = 9 - 6 = 3 m

so it will be moved maximum by 3 m distance

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

The horizontal force is 106.89 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Work done = 310 J

Distance = 2.9 m

We need to calculate the horizontal force

Using formula of work done

W= Fd\cos\theta

Where, \theta=0^{\circ}

W=F\cdot d

Put the value into the formula

310=F\cdot 2.9

F=\dfrac{310}{2.9}

F=106.89\ N

Hence, The horizontal force is 106.89 N.

A simple pendulum 2 m long swings through a maximum angle of 30 ∘ with the vertical. part a calculate its period assuming a smal
victus00 [196]

Length of the pendulum (l) = 2 m

Acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m/s^2

For small amplitude, the pendulum will undergo simple harmonic motion.

Hence, the time period of the pendulum for small amplitude = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }

Now, plug the values of l and g

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{2}{9.8} }

T = 2 × 3.14 × 0.451

T = 2.83 seconds

Hence, the time period of the pendulum for small amplitude = 2.83 s

The force of gravity depends mainly on objects _______?
geniusboy [140]

The strength of the gravitational forces between two objects depends on
the masses of both objects and on the distance between their centers.

I don't think you can say that one or the other is the "<em>main</em>" influence.

-- If each mass is multiplied by ' k ', then the forces between them are
multiplied by ' k² '. 

-- And if the distance between them is multiplied by ' k ', then the forces
between them are divided by ' k² '. 

Seems pretty equal to me.
