A jogger runs by a river with a velocity of 7 m s relative to the ground. A leaf floating on the river moves with a velocity of

2 m s relative to the ground (riverbed). What is the velocity of the leaf relative to the jogger?

Answer:

The velocity of the leaf relative to the jogger is 5 m/s.                    

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of jogger wrt to the ground, V_j=7\ m/s

velocity of leaf wrt the ground, v_i=2\ m/s

We need to find the velocity of the leaf relative to the jogger. Let it is equal to V. So, it is given by :

V=v_j-v_i\\\\V=7-2\\\\V=5\ m/s

So, the velocity of the leaf relative to the jogger is 5 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

You and a partner sit on the floor and stretch out a coiled spring to a length of 7.2 meters. You shake the coil so you
vekshin1

Answer:

Approximately 5.9\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} (assuming that the partner is holding the other end of the coil stationary.)

Explanation:

In a standing wave, an antinode is a point that moves with maximal amplitude, while a node is a point that does not move at all. There is an antinode between every two adjacent nodes. Likewise, there is a node between every two adjacent antinodes.

The side of the spring that is being shaken moving with maximal amplitude. Hence, that point on this spring would also be an antinode. In contrast, the side of the spring that is held still (does not move at all) would be a node.

There would be a node between:

  • the antinode at the end of the spring that is being shaken, and
  • the antinode between the two ends of this spring.

Overall, the nodes and antinodes on this spring would be:

  • node at the end that is being held still,
  • antinode (as mentioned in the question),
  • node (inferred, not mentioned in the question), and
  • antinode at the end that is being shaken.

The distance between two adjacent nodes is equal to one-half (that is, (1/2)) the wavelength of the wave. The distance between a node and an adjacent antinode is one-quarter (that is, (1/4)) of the wavelength of the wave.

Thus, if the wavelength of the wave in this question is \lambda, the length of this spring would be:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, \lambda + \frac{1}{4}\, \lambda = \frac{3}{4}\, \lambda.

The question states that the length of this coiled spring is 7.2\; {\rm m}. In other words, (3/4) \, \lambda = 7.2\; {\rm m}. The wavelength of this wave would be (7.2\; {\rm m}) / (3/4) = 9.6\; {\rm m}.

The frequency f of this wave is the number of cycles in unit time:

\begin{aligned} f &= \frac{10}{16.3\; {\rm s}} \approx 0.613\; {\rm s^{-1}}\end{aligned}.

Hence, the speed v of this wave would be:

\begin{aligned} v &= \lambda\, f \\ &=9.6\; {\rm m} \times 0.613\; {\rm s^{-1}} \\ &\approx 5.9\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}.

Two go-carts, A and B, race each other around a 1.0 track. Go-cart A travels at a constant speed of 20.0 /. Go-cart B accelerate
maria [59]

Complete Question

Q. Two go-carts, A and B, race each other around a 1.0km track. Go-cart A travels at a constant speed of 20m/s. Go-cart B accelerates uniformly from rest at a rate of 0.333m/s^2. Which go-cart wins the race and by how much time?

Answer:

Go-cart A is faster

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

       The length of the track is l =  1.0 \ km  =  1000 \  m

       The speed of  A is  v__{A}} =  20 \ m/s

       The uniform acceleration of  B is  a__{B}} =  0.333 \ m/s^2

  Generally the time taken by go-cart  A is mathematically represented as

              t__{A}} = \frac{l}{v__{A}}}

=>          t__{A}} = \frac{1000}{20}

=>           t__{A}} =  50 \  s

  Generally from kinematic equation we can evaluate the time taken by go-cart B as

             l =  ut__{B}} + \frac{1}{2}  a__{B}} * t__{B}}^2

given that go-cart B starts from rest  u =  0 m/s

So

            1000 =  0 *t__{B}} + \frac{1}{2}  * 0.333  * t__{B}}^2

=>         1000 =  0 *t__{B}} + \frac{1}{2}  0.333  * t__{B}}^2            

=>         t__{B}} =  77.5 \  seconds  

 

Comparing  t__{A}} \  and  \ t__{B}}  we see that t__{A}} is smaller so go-cart A is  faster
