Your Lead Teaching Assistant is initially seated on the top of a hemispherical ice mound of radius R = 30 m. Approximate the ice

as being frictionless. He begins to slide down the ice with a negligible initial speed. At what height does the TA lose contact with the ice?

Answer:

<em>Height = 5.65 km</em>

Explanation:

3\pi r^2 is the circumference or we can say measures the boundary of hemisphere of friction-less ice that he is sitting on.

So, the height will be = 2 x 3.14 x (30)^2 = 5654.7 m = 5.65 km

Answer:

Height at which lead assistant will lose the contact with ice = h = 20 m

Explanation:

The height at which the lead assistant will lose the contact with the ice can be found using the following formula:

                          h = 2R/3   ……… (i)

Where R is the radius of the hemisphere. So,

                          h = 2(30)/3

                          h = 2(10)

                          h = 20 m

Hence, the lead assistant will lose the contact with the ice at the height of 20 m.

A cyclist traveling at constant speed of 12m/s when he passes a stationary bus.The bus starts moving just as the cyclist passes
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

A.) 8 seconds

B.) 16 seconds

C.) 48 m

Explanation:

Given that a cyclist traveling at constant speed of 12 m/s

and the bus accelerates uniformly at 1.5ms²

A.) The bus has the following parameters

Acceleration a = 1.5 m/s^2

Initial velocity U = 0. Since the bus is starting from rest.

Final velocity V = 12 m/s

Use equation one of linear motion.

V = U + at

Substitute V, U and a into the formula

12 = 0 + 1.5t

1.5t = 12

t = 12/1.5

t = 8 seconds

Therefore, the bus reach the same speed as the cyclist at 8 seconds.

B.) For the cyclist moving at constant speed, acceleration a = 0. Using second equation of motion

h = Ut + 1/2at^2

Since a = 0, the equation is reduced to:

h = Ut.

Also, for the bus,

h = Ut + 1/2at^2

Equate the two equations since the h is the same

Ut = Ut + 1/2at^2

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

12t = 0 + 1/2 × 1.5t^2

12t = 0.75t^2

0.75t = 12

t = 12/0.75

t = 16 seconds

Therefore, the bus takes 16 seconds to catch the cyclist

C.) Use third equation of linear motion.

V^2 = U^2 + 2as

Where s = distance

Substitute V, U and a into the formula

12^2 = 0 + 2 × 1.5 S

144 = 3S

S = 144/3

S = 48 m
