In the Daytona 500 auto race, a Ford Thunderbird and a Mercedes Benz are moving side by side down a straightaway at 71.0 m/s. Th

e driver of the Thunderbird realizes that she must make a pit stop, and she smoothly slows to a stop over a distance of 250 m. She spends 5.00 s in the pit and then accelerates out, reaching her previous speed of 71.0 m/s after a distance of 370 m. At this point how far has the Thunderbird fallen behind the Mercedes Benz, which has continued at a constant speed?

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Thunderbird is 995.157 meters behind the Mercedes</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

It is given that all the cars were moving at a speed of 71 m/s when the driver of Thunderbird  decided to take a pit stop and slows down for 250 m. She spent 5 seconds  in the pit stop.

Here final velocity v=0 \ m/s

initial velocity u= 71 m/s  distance  

Distance covered in the slowing down phase = 250 m

v^2-u^2=2as

a= \frac {(v^2-u^2)}{2s}

a = \frac {(0^2-71^2)}{(2 \times 250)}=-10.082 \ m/s^2

v=u+at

t= \frac {(v-u)}{a}

= \frac {(0-71)}{(-10.082)}=7.042 s

t_1=7.042 s

The car is in the pit stop for 5s t_2=5 s

After restart it accelerates for 350 m to reach the earlier velocity 71 m/s

a= \frac {(v^2-u^2)}{(2\times s)} = \frac{(71^2-0^2)}{(2 \times 370)} =6.81 \ m/s^2

v=u+at

t= \frac{(v-u)}{a}

t= \frac{(71-0)}{6.81}= 10.425 s

t_3=10.425 s

total time= t_1 +t_2+t_3=7.042+5+10.425=22.467 s

Distance covered by the Mercedes Benz during this time is given by s=vt=71 \times 22.467= 1595.157 m

Distance covered by the Thunderbird during this time=250+350=600 m

Difference between distance covered by the Mercedes  and Thunderbird

= 1595.157-600=995.157 m

Thus the Mercedes is 995.157 m ahead of the Thunderbird.

A wire lying along a y axis form y=0 to y=0.25 m carries a current of 2.0 mA in the negative direction of the axis. The wire ful
balu736 [363]

Answer:

FB = 0.187 N

Explanation:

To find the magnetic force FB in the wire you use the following formula:

|\vec{F_B}|=ILBsin\theta\\\\L=0.25m\\\\|\vec{B}|=\sqrt{(0.3y)^2+(0.4y)^2}=0.5y \ T

the angle between B and L is given by:

\vec{L}\cdot\vec{B}=LBcos\theta\\\\\theta=cos^{-1}(\frac{\vec{L}\cdot\vec{B}}{LB})=cos^{-1}(\frac{0*0.3y+0.25*0.4y}{0.25*0.5y})=36.86\°

Due to B depends on "y" you take into account the contribution of each element dy of the wire to the magnitude of the magnetic force. Thus, you have to integrate the following expression:

|\vec{F_B}|=Isin\theta\int_0^{0.25}B(y)dy=Isin\theta\int_0^{0.25}(0.5y)dy\\\\|\vec{F_B}|=(2.0*10^{-3}A)(sin36.86\°)(0.5T)[\frac{0.25^2}{2}m]=0.187\ N

hence, the magnitude of the magnetic force is 0.187N

How does a magnet work?
Alona [7]
All magnets have north and south poles. Opposite poles are attracted to each other, while the same poles repel each other. When you rub a piece of iron along a magnet, the north-seeking poles of the atoms in the iron line up in the same direction. The force generated by the aligned atoms creates a magnetic field.

When two forces are acting a body in opposite direction their resultant become 6N and when they are acting in the same direction
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

9 and 3 N

Explanation:

Forces in the same direction sum up to produce the resultant force;

One force subtract the other will give the resultant force when they are in opposite directions;

Lets say one direction is forwards and the opposite backwards;

We have one force, let's say force A, in the forwards direction and another force, force B, acting in the same (forwards) or opposite (backwards) direction;

If B is acting in the same direction, then the resultant force (in this case) will be as follows:

A + B = 12

If B is acting in the opposite direction, then the resultant force will be as follows:
A - B = 6

Summing the two equations will allow us to solve for A:

A + B + (A - B) = 12 + 6

2A = 18

A = 9

Substitute this into either of the above equations and we can solve for B:
(9) - B = 6

B = 9 - 6

B = 3

What is the purpose of an man made ecosystem
alexandr402 [8]
Usually to preserve the organisms (maybe the organisms are endangered species or need to be protected in some other way). Another reason could be for the benefit of mankind (for example, an artificial river provides recreational purposes)
