Crawling Crayfish!

Mathematics
1 answer:
boyakko [2]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: Crayfish, 25 s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The length of race is 60 cm

Flicker gets a 10 cm head-start

Cray fish covers 6 cm in 5 s i.e. its speed is

\Rightarrow \dfrac{6}{5}=1.2\ cm/s

Flicker covers 4 cm in 5 s, its speed is

\Rightarrow \dfrac{4}{5}=0.8\ cm/s

Time taken by Cray fish to cover the race is

\Rightarrow t_1=\dfrac{60}{1.2}\\\\\Rightarrow t_1=50\ s

Time taken by flicker to cover race with 10 cm head start

\Rightarrow t_2=\dfrac{60-10}{0.8}\\\\\Rightarrow t_2=62.5\ s

Time taken by crayfish is less. Hence, crayfish wins the race

When they both covers the same distance, they tied momentarily i.e.

\Rightarrow 1.2t=10+0.8t\\\Rightarrow 0.4t=10\\\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{10}{0.4}\\\\\Rightarrow t=25\ s

After 25 s, they tied the race.

Who is faster? A girl who runs 200 meters in 28 seconds or her friend who runs 400 meters in 60 seconds? H.E.L.P​
blagie [28]

Answer: The girl herself ran faster than her friend.

Step-by-step explanation:

This answer, of course assumes a lot of variables, but for the sake of keeping things simple, lets assume the following, the people are ran in a "straight line" with no "obstacles" in their way, and ran on the same track.

Calculating in meters-per-second for the girl who ran 200 meters in 28 seconds, you get 7.14285714286  meters per second

Calculating in meters-per-second for the girl who ran 400 meters in 60 seconds, you get 6.66666666667  meters per second

Comparing the two results, it can be "accurately" concluded that the girl herself ran faster than her friend under the following assumptions earlier stated.

At age 7, Maui competed in the high jump competition and managed a personal best of 3ft. At age 11 she was jumping 5ft. Her coac
Helen [10]

The high-jumper's centre of mass is about two-thirds of the way up his body when he is standing or running in towards the take off point. He needs to increase his launch speed to the highest possible by building up his strength and speed, and then use his energy and gymnastic skill to raise his centre of gravity by H, which is the maximum that the formula U2=2gH will allow. Of course there is a bit more to it in practice! When a high jumper runs in to launch himself upwards he will only be able to transfer a small fraction of his best possible horizontal sprinting speed into his upward launch speed. He has only a small space for his approach run and must turn around in order to take off with his back facing the bar. The pole vaulter is able to do much better. He has a long straight run down the runway and, despite carrying a long pole, the world's best vaulters can achieve speeds of close to 10 metres per second at launch. The elastic fibre glass pole enables them to turn the energy of their horizontal motion 12MU2 into vertical motion much more efficiently than the high jumper. Vaulters launch themselves vertically upwards and perform all the impressive gymnastics necessary to curl themselves in an inverted U-shape over the bar,sending their centre of gravity as far below it as possible.

Pole vaulter

Let's see if we can get a rough estimate of how well we might expect them to do. Suppose they manage to transfer all their horizontal running kinetic energy of 12MU2 into vertical potential energy of MgH then they will raise their centre of mass a height of:

H=U22g

If the Olympic champion can reach 9 ms−1 launch speed then since the acceleration due to gravity is g=10 ms−2 we expect him to be able to raise his centre of gravity height of H=4 metres. If he started with his centre of gravity about 1.5 metres above the ground and made it pass 0.5 metres below the bar then he would be expected to clear a bar height of 1.5+4+0.5=6 metres. In fact, the American champion Tim Mack won the Athens Olympic Gold medal with a vault of 5.95 metres (or 19′614" in feet and inches) and had three very close failures at 6 metres, knowing he had already won the Gold Medal, so our very simple estimates turn out to be surprisingly accurate.
