A police officer at rest at side of highway notices speeder moving at 62 km/h along road.when speeder passes ,officer accelerate

s 3.0 m/s^2 in pursuit.speeder do not notice until police catch up.
A) how long will it take for the officer to catch the speeder
b) calculate the speed of the police officer when he catches the speeder, is this reasonable?
c) now assume that the police fficer accelerates until the police car is moving 10 km/h faster than the speeder and then moves at a constant velocity until the car catches up to the speeder. how long will it take to catch the speeder?

Answer:

Part a)

t = 11.5 s

Part b)

v_f = 34.44 m/s

Part c)

T = 23.9 s

Explanation:

Part a)

Let after time "t" the officer catches the speeder

So here the distance moved by the speeder and the police must be same

so we have

d_{p} = d_s

d_p = \frac{1}{2}at^2

d_s = (62 \times \frac{1000}{3600})(t)

now we have

17.22 t = 1.5 t^2

t = 11.5 s

Part b)

Speed of the police officer when he catches the speeder is given as

v_f = v_i + at

v_f = 0 + 3(11.5)

v_f = 34.44 m/s

Part c)

Police accelerated till his speed become

v_f = 62 + 10 = 72 km/h

v_f = 20 m/s

so time taken till it reach this speed

v_f = v_i + at

20 = 0 + 3t

t = 6.67 s

now after this the distance between them

d = (17.22\times 6.67) - \frac{1}{2}(3)(6.67)^2

d = 48 m

now this distance will covered in the next few seconds given as

d = (v_p - v_s) t

48 = (20 - 17.22)t

t = 17.3 s

so total time taken by it

T = 17.3 + 6.67 = 23.9 s

In which situation is no work considered to be done by a force?
Ber [7]

Answer:

O B. when the angle between the force and displacement is 90°

Explanation:

<h3>work defined as   w = f cos Ф * d. </h3><h3>work  can only be done if object moves(displacement) in the direction of force. now a quick one. if you since the varrious angles into the cosine, you would see that Cos 90 will give zero which implies that no work is done. Again, angle means it is perpendicular and so it is not in the direction of force.</h3>

A particle is acted on by two torques about the origin: τ→1 has a magnitude of 8 N·m and is directed in the positive direction o
lyudmila [28]

To give solution to the exercise we must use the concepts of Torque, Vector magnitude and vector direction of the forces.

For the given problem we have to

T_i = 8Nm

T_j = -8.9Nm

In this way the torque acting on the particle as a function of distance and time is,

\tau = \frac{dL}{dt} = 8\hat{i}-8.9\hat{j}

The net torque acting on the particle is

\tau_{net} = \sqrt{T_i^2+T_j^2}

\tau_{net} = \sqrt{(8)^2+(-8.9)^2}

\tau_{net} = 11.967Nm

PART B) The direction of the torque is given by,

tan\theta = \frac{y}{x}

\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{y}{x}

\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{-8.9}{8})

\theta = -48.04\°

Therefore the torque direction is 48.04° below the x axis.

A 125 W motor accelerates a block along a level, frictionless surface at an average speed of 5.0
Lelu [443]

Answer:

25N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Power of the motor = 125W

Average speed  = 5m/s

Unknown:

Force supplied to the motor = ?

Solution:

 Work done is the force applied to move a body through a particular distance;

         Work done  = Force x distance

Also,

        Work done  = Power x time

 

So;

             Force x distance = Power  x time

  since force is the unknown;

            Force  = \frac{Power x time}{distance}

         Speed  = \frac{distance }{time}

             Force  = \frac{Power}{speed}

Now solve;

                Force  = \frac{125}{5}    = 25N

Energy that vibrates electrons causing electricity
tresset_1 [31]
Answer: Electromagnetic waves are generated by moving electrons. An electron generates an electric field which we can visualize as lines radiating from the electron Figure 10a. If the electron moves, say it vibrates back and forth, then this motion will be transferred to the field lines and they will become wavy Figure 10b.
