•• Al and Bert are jogging side-by-side on a trail in the woods at a speed of 0.75 m/s. Suddenly Al sees the end of the trail 35

m ahead and decides to speed up to reach it. He accelerates at a constant rate of 0.50 m/s2, while Bert continues on at a constant speed. (a) How long does it take Al to reach the end of the trail? (b) Once he reaches the end of the trail, he immediately turns around and heads back along the trail with a constant speed of 0.85 m/s. How long does it take him to meet up with Bert? (c) How far are they from the end of the trail when they meet?

a)

Consider the motion of Al :

v₀ = initial speed of Al = 0.75 m/s

d = distance to be traveled to reach the end of trail = 35 m

a = acceleration = 0.50 m/s²

t = time of travel

Using the equation

d = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

inserting the values

35 = (0.75) t + (0.5) (0.50) t²

t = 10.4 sec

So Al reach the end of trail after 10.4 sec

b)

Consider the motion of Bert :

x = distance traveled by Bert when Al reach the end = ?

v_{b} = speed of Bert = 0.75 m/s

t = time of travel = 10.4 sec

Distance traveled by Bert when Al reach the end is given as

x = v_{b} t

x = (0.75) (10.4)

x = 7.8

x' = distance remaining to reach the end of trail for Bert = ?

distance remaining to reach the end of trail for Bert is given as

x' = d - x

x' = 35 - 7.8

x' = 27.2 m

v_{rel} = relative velocity of Al with respect to bert = 0.85 + 0.75 = 1.6 m/s

t' = time to meetup

Time to meetup is given as

t' = x' /v_{rel}

t' = 27.2/1.6

t' = 17 sec


c)

L = length of the distance of the two from the end

v_{AL} = speed of AL = 0.85 m/s

t' = time to meetup = 17 sec

length of the distance of the two from the end is given as

L = v_{AL} t'

L = (0.85 (17)

L = 14.45 m

A ball is released from a hot air balloon moving downward with a velocity of -10.0 meters/second and a height of 1,000 meters. H
Nikolay [14]
Here, ball is released... and it is in free fall means with zero initial velocity.

We know, s = ut + 1/2 at²
Here, s = 1000 m
u = 0
a = 10 m/s2

Substitute their values, 
1000 = 0 + 1/2 * 10 * t²
2000 = 10 * t²
t² = 2000 /10
t = √200
t = 14.14 s

In short, Your Answer would be 14.14 seconds

Hope this helps!

Find the net charge of a system consisting of 6.25×10^6 electrons and 7.75×10^6 protons. Express your answer using three signifi
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

2.40 x 10⁻¹³ C

Explanation:

n_{e} = number of electrons = 6.25 x 10⁶

q_{e} = charge on electron = - 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

n_{p} = number of protons = 7.75 x 10⁶

q_{p} = charge on proton =  1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

Net charge is given as

Q = n_{e} q_{e} + n_{p} q_{p}

Q = (- 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹) (6.25 x 10⁶) + (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹) (7.75 x 10⁶)

Q = 2.40 x 10⁻¹³ C

A major difference between AC and DC electricity is that A) the current in AC electricity varies in magnitude and direction. B)
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

A) the current in AC electricity varies in magnitude and direction.

C) the voltage in AC electricity varies in magnitude and direction.

Explanation:

In DC current and voltage the direction of current will not change with time and it always remains the same.

So here in DC voltage and DC current the magnitude may change with time but the direction will always remain same

While in AC voltage and AC current the direction of AC will change with time

periodically.

So here magnitude and direction both will change in AC current and AC voltage.

so the correct answer is

A)     the current in AC electricity varies in magnitude and direction.

C) the voltage in AC electricity varies in magnitude and direction.
