Answer: a. 126.21secs
b. 12.621 meters.
Explanation:
Given data:
Speed of tortoise = 0.1m/s.
Speed of hare = 2m/s.
Solution:
a. Distance traveled = Speed* Time
Speed of tortoise = 0.1 m/s
Speed of hare = 20*0.1 m/s = 2 m/s
2 minutes = 2* 60 s = 120 s
Let the time taken for the race be t seconds.
• Distance moved by tortoise
= (0.1 /s)* (t s)
= 0.1*t meter
•Hare has run for a time of (t - 120)s.
distance moved by hare
= Speed * Time
= (2 m/s)*(t- 120)s
= (2t - 240) meter.
Since hare is 20 cm (0.2 m) behind the tortoise, therefore
(0.1*t - 0.2) meter
= (2t - 240) meter
0.1*t - 0.2 = 2t - 240
Collect like terms
239.8 = 1.9t
Divide both sides by 1.9
t = 126.21secs
The race lasted for 126.21secs
b. Length of race
= Distance moved by tortoise
= 0.1*126.21 meter
= 12.621 meter
The length of the race is 12.621 meters.
Answer:
Time zone is one important factor in difference in location and this in turn affects the result of the resolution and rotation of shadow produced from the sun or other illumination.
Therefore someone at a place might see a clear large shadow due to shinny sun reflection and another a small or dull Shadow at same time if the intensity of the sun or lighting source is going down.
Explanation:
The closer a body/object is to a lighting source the larger the shadow it produces, and the farther the body the smaller the shadow produced.
Answer: Sound waves carry energy parallel to the motion of the wave, while light waves carry energy perpendicular to it.
Explanation: trust me
Explanation:
Acceleration of an object is calculated by finding the change in its velocity divided by time taken.
If is initial velocity, is final velocity and t is time taken. Then the acceleration of the object is given by :
.....(1)
So, the above equation is used to find acceleration. It is called the first equation of motion. After rearranging equation (1), the correct options are :
Every action has an equal but opposite reaction
