Answer:

Due east - 0.42mps

Due west - 0.29mps

Explanation:

So for the 5 meters 12s

and 2 meters 7s

for the first one we will do 12/5 = 2.4

for the second one 7/2 = 3.5

that is the amount of seconds per meter but we want meters per seconds so

5/12 = 0.42mps

2/7 = 0.29mps

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

To calculate the change in kinetic energy, you must know the force as a function of _______. The work done by the force causes t
QveST [7]

Answer:

(c) position

Explanation:

From the work-energy theorem, the workdone by a force on a body causes a change in kinetic energy of the body.

But, remember that the work done (W) by a force (F) on a body is the product of the force and the distance d, moved by the body caused by the force. i.e

W = F x d

This distance is a measure of the position of the body at a given instance.

Therefore, the work done is given by the force as a function of distance (or position).

The resistance created by waves on a 120-m-long ship is tested in a channel using a model that is 4 m long Y Part A If the ship
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

V_m = 12.78 km/hr

Explanation:

given,

length of the ship = 120 m

length of model of the ship = 4 m

Speed at which the ship travels = 70 km/h

speed of model = ?

by using froude's law

  F_r = \dfrac{V}{\sqrt{L g}}

for dynamic similarities

  (\dfrac{V}{\sqrt{L g}})_P = (\dfrac{V}{\sqrt{L g}})_{model}

  (\dfrac{V_p}{\sqrt{L_p}}) = (\dfrac{V_m}{\sqrt{L_m}})

  (\dfrac{70}{\sqrt{120}}) = (\dfrac{V_m}{\sqrt{4}})

          V_m = 12.78 km/hr

hence, the velocity of model will be 12.78 km/h
