•• 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

E) Thermal energy is released during
vichka [17]

Answer:

e) True, f) False

Explanation:

e) Let consider a close system, that is, a system with no mass interactions with surroundings. Then, we get the following expression by the First Law of Thermodynamics:

Q_{net,in} - W_{net, out} = \Delta U (1)

Where:

Q_{net, in} - Net input heat, measured in joules.

W_{net, out} - Net output work, measured in joules.

\Delta U - Change in thermal energy, measured in joules.

Please notice that work comprises all kind of work (i.e. mechanical, electric, magnetic), whereas heat comprises all heat interactions including chemical and radioactive phenomena.

If thermal energy is released, then \Delta U < 0, which is caused by three scenarios:

(i) Q_{net,in} < 0, W_{net, out} < 0, |Q_{net,in}|>|W_{net,out}|

(ii) Q_{net, in} > 0, W_{net,out} > 0, |Q_{net,in}|

(iii) Q_{net,in}< 0, W_{net, out}>0

In the case Q_{net,in} > 0, W_{net, out}, the thermal energy of the system is increased. Therefore, thermal energy is released during some energy conversions. Answer: True

f) A liquid solidifies when temperature goes below point of fusion, meaning a realease of heat with no work interactions. That is:

Q_{net, in} = \Delta U, Q_{net, in} < 0 (2)

If Q_{net, in} < 0, then  \Delta U < 0. Then, if a liquid absorbs heat energy, then thermal energy is increase and the liquid does not solidifies. Answer: False.

Wegener believed continents moved, but he did not know how. Identify what needed to happen before Wegener's idea about moving co
pochemuha

D. Advances in technology were needed to gather more evidence.

Explanation:

New technologies had to be developed to ascertain Wegener's claims.

The major flaw in Wegener's postulate was that the moving continents lacked a mechanism to drive them into motion.

His theory needed more scientific backing also.

  • A major leap was made when new technologies used during the second world war was deployed to investigate the ocean floor.
  • Sequences of magnetic anomalies were unraveled using equipment developed during the second world war
  • This gave further proof to the idea of continental drift and it expanded the theory into a more broader and inclusive theory of plate tectonics.

What you filling your heart with <br>oxygen and blood
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

                    The right side of your heart receives oxygen-poor blood from your veins and pumps it to your lungs, where it picks up oxygen and gets rid of carbon dioxide. The left side of your heart receives oxygen-rich blood from your lungs and pumps it through your arteries to the rest of your body.
