Which action will decrease the gravitational force between two objects?

A police officer is parked by the side of the road, when a speeding car travelling at 50 mi/hrpasses. The police car immediately

Blababa [14]

Answer:

a) time taken to catch up with speeding car is 12.25 secs

b) the police car will travel 273.8 m to catch up with the speeding car

Explanation:

Given that;

speed of car $V_{c}$ = 50 mi/hr = 22.352 m/s

acceleration of police car = 10 mi/hr = 4.47 m/s²

$V_{f}$ = 70 mi/hr = 31.29 m/s

Now time taken to reach maximum speed is t₁

so

$V_{f}$ = $V_{i}$ + at₁

we substitute

31.29 = 0 + 4.47t₁

t₁ = 31.29 / 4.47

t₁ = 7 sec

now

d₁ = 0 + 1/2 × at₁²

d₁ = 0 + 1/2 × 0 + 4.47×(7)²

d₁ = 109.5 m

so distance travelled by the speeding car in time t₁ will be

$d_{c}$ = $V_{c}$ × t₁

we substitute

$d_{c}$ = 22.352 × 7

$d_{c}$ = 156.46 m

now distance between polive car and speeding car

Δd = $d_{c}$ - d₁

Δd = 156.46 - 109.5

Δd = 46.96 m

time taken to cover Δd will be

t₂ = Δd / ( $V_{f}$ - $V_{c}$ )

t₂ = 46.96 / ( 31.29 - 22.352 )

t₂ = 46.96 / 8.938

t₂ = 5.25 sec

distance travelled by the police in time t₂ will be

d₂ = $V_{f}$ × t₂

d₂ = 31.29 × 5.25

d₂ = 164.3 m

a) How long will it take before the officer catches up to the speeding car;

time taken to catch up with speeding car;

t = t₁ + t₂

t = 7 + 5.25

t = 12.25 secs

Therefore, time taken to catch up with speeding car is 12.25 secs

b) how far will it have travelled in order to do so;

distance = d₁ + d₂

distance = 109.5 + 164.3

distance = 273.8 m

Therefore, the police car will travel 273.8 m to catch up with the speeding car

Jazz is a 172 lb athlete who exercised at 7.6 METs. At this workload, what is his energy expenditure in kcals/min.? Round to the

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Energy expenditure in K cals/min = 10 K cals /min (approximately)

Explanation:

As we know

Energy expenditure in Kcal/min= METs x 3.5 x Body weight (kg) / 200

Given is METs=7.6

Weight of Jazz= 172lb=78.02kg

putting the values in formula,

Energy expenditure in K cals/min= 7.6 x 3.5 x 78.02 / 200

=10.38 K cals /min

=10 K cals /min (approximately)

Therefore, Energy expenditure in K cals/min by Jazz will be approximately 10 K cals /min

A solid non-conducting sphere of radius R carries a charge Q distributed uniformly throughout its volume. At a radius r (r <

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

Hence the answer is E inside $= KQr_{1} /R^{3}$ .

Explanation:

E inside $= KQr_{1} /R^{3}$

so if r1 will be the same then

E $\begin{bmatrix}Blank Equation\end{bmatrix}$ proportional to 1/R3

so if R become 2R

E becomes 1/8 of the initial electric field.

A 2.74 g coin, which has zero potential energy at the surface, is dropped into a 12.2 m well. After the coin comes to a stop in

VikaD [51]

Answer:

B. - 0.328

Explanation

Potential Energy: This is the energy of a body due to position.

The S.I unit of potential energy is Joules (J).

It can be expressed mathematically as

Ep = mgh........................... Equation 1

Where Ep = potential energy, m = mass of the coin, h = height, g = acceleration due to gravity,

Given: m = 2.74 g = 0.00274 kg, h = 12.2 m, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substituting these values into equation 1

Ep = 0.00274×12.2×9.8

Ep = 0.328 J.

Note: Since the potential energy at the surface is zero, the potential Energy with respect to the surface = -0.328 J

The right option is B. - 0.328
