•• 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

Answer:

(3) The period of the satellite is independent of its mass, an increase in the mass of the satellite will not affect its period around the Earth.

(4) he gravitational force between the Sun and Neptune is 6.75 x 10²⁰ N

Explanation:

(3) The period of a satellite is given as;

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{r^3}{GM} }

where;

T is the period of the satellite

M is mass of Earth

r is the radius of the orbit

Thus, the period of the satellite is independent of its mass, an increase in the mass of the satellite will not affect its period around the Earth.

 

(4)

Given;

mass of the ball, m₁ = 1.99 x 10⁴⁰ kg

mass of Neptune, m₂ = 1.03 x 10²⁶ kg

mass of Sun, m₃ = 1.99 x 10³⁰ kg

distance between the Sun and Neptune, r = 4.5 x 10¹² m

The gravitational force between the Sun and Neptune is calculated as;

F_g = \frac{Gm_2m_3}{r^2} \\\\F_g = \frac{6.67\times 10^{-11} \times 1.03 \times 10^{26}\times 1.99\times 10^{30}}{(4.5\times 10^{12})^2} \\\\F_g = 6.751 \times 10^{20} \ N

A mechanic has a wrench where the hand grip is 0.40 m from the axis of the bolt. To apply a torque of 170 N m with this wrench w
Grace [21]

Answer:

4.3 * 10 N

Explanation:

To calculate torque, we multiply the distance from the pivot by the perpendicular (the part of the force that acts at right angles to the displacement vector) component of the force to the displacement vector from the pivot.

torque  = distance from pivot *  perpendicular force

170 Nm= 0.4 m * F

F = 425 N = 4.3 * 10 N rounded off to two significant figures

Answer:

<u>Question 2</u>

<u>Part (a)</u>

Chlorine:  type of compound = chloride

Oxygen:  type of compound = oxide

<u>Part (b)</u>

The iron reacts with water and oxygen to form rust.

A water molecule is made up of two hydrogen atoms joined to one oxygen atom:  Di-hydrogen oxide.

<u>Question 3</u>

This circuit is in parallel.

The current in a parallel circuit splits into different branches then combines again before it goes back into the supply.

We are told that A₁ = 0.8 A

As the lamps have <u>equal resistance</u>, the current splits equally:

A₂ = 0.4 A

A₃ = 0.4 A

Then combines again:

A₄ = 0.8 A
