Two bicyclists ride towards each other along a long straight road, each with a constant speed of 10 km/h. When they are 20 km ap

art, a bee begins flying from the front of one bicycle towards the other at 30 km/h. When the bee reaches the other bicycle, it immediately turns around and starts flying back towards the original bicycle at the same speed. This repeats until the bikes crash into each other and the bee is squished.
A. How many trips does the bee travel before it gets squished?

B. For how long will the bee survive?

C. What is the total distance the bee will travel?

Answer:

Explanation:

A )

As the two bicycles come closer , the time period of oscillation of bee to oscillate between the two is gradually reduced . It is akin to a pendulum with gradually decreasing amplitude . It will be infinite number of trips the bee will travel before it gets squished .

B )

The bee will survive until the two bicyclists meet each other .

time of their meeting = distance between them / their relative velocity

= 20 / ( 10 + 10 )

= 1 hour .

C )

Total distance travelled by bee during 1 hour

= time x speed of bee

= 1 x 30 km/h

= 30 km .

IrinaK [193]
A) average acceleration = final velocity - initial velocity / time

= 7700 - 0 / 11

= 700ms^-2


B) force = mass x acceleration

= (3.05 x 105) x 700

= 320.25 x 700

= 224,175N

Charged particles posses a region of influence also called a (an)
Delvig [45]

Answer:(c)

Explanation:

Charge particle posses a region of influence called a filed i.e. Electric field.

It is a region around the charged particle such that other charge particle experiences force due to this field. The nature of force is decided by the charge on the particle creating an electric field.

For a positive charge, electric field lines emerge out of it, and for a negative charge, it acts as radially inwards.

if weight is the force of gravity on an object, then your weight can change if the force of gravity is different on a different
Lapatulllka [165]
Yes, your weight can change if the force of gravity is different on a different planet.

Like on the Moon because acceleration due to gravity is 1/6 that on the Earth, your weight on the Moon would be 1/6 the value on the Earth.
 
But note that you mass remains the same.

A ball of mass 0.15 kg is dropped from rest from a height of 1.25 m. It rebounds from the floor to reach a height of 0.960 m. b)
Art [367]

Answer:

Explanation:

If v be the velocity just after the rebound

Kinetic energy will be converted into potential energy

1/2 m v² = mgh

v² = 2gh

v = √ 2gh

= √ 2 x 9.8 x .96

= 4.33 m / s
