Answer:

a) 2·√10 seconds

b) Linda should be approximately 30.6 meters

c) Jenny's speed at the 100-m mark is approximately 6.325 m/s

Explanation:

The speed with which Linda is running = 8.6 m/s

The point Jenny starts = The 80-m mark

The acceleration of Jenny = 1.0 m/s²

a) The time it takes Jenny to run from the 80-m mark to the 100-m mark, t, is given as follows

Δs = u·t + (1/2)·a·t²

Δs = Distance = 100-m - 80-m = 20-m

u = The initial velocity of Jenny = 0

a = Jenny's acceleration = 1.0 m/s²

∴ 20 = 0×t + (1/2) × 1 × t² = t²/2

20 = t²/2

t = √(20 × 2) = 2·√10

The time it takes Jenny to run from the 80-m mark to the 100-m mark = 2·√10 seconds

b) The distance Linda runs in t = 2·√10 seconds, d = v × t

Given that Linda's velocity, v = 8.6 m/s, we have;

d = 8.0 × 2·√10 = 16·√10

The distance Linda runs in t = 2·√10 seconds = 16·√10 meters ≈ 50.6 meters

Therefore, Linda should be approximately (50.6 - 20) meters = 30.6 meters behind Jenny when Jenny starts running

c) Jenny's speed at the 100 m mark is given as follows;

v = u + a·t

t = 2·√10 seconds, a = 1.0 m/s², u = 0

∴ v = 0×t + 1.0×2·√10 = 2·√10 ≈ 6.325

Jenny's speed at the 100-m mark ≈ 6.325 m/s

Do you think an observer on another planet in the solar system might see eclipses

artcher [175]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Eclipses: Eclipses are also known as game of shadows where one object comes between the star(light source) and another object in a straight line such that the shadow of one object falls on other object. This can occur when the apparent size of the star and the object is almost same.

Talking about the Earth, the geometry is such that the Moon and the Sun are of same apparent size as seen from the Earth. Thus Lunar and Solar eclipse can be seen from the Earth. If we were to go on any other planet the same phenomenon can be seen provided the apparent size of moon and the Sun from that planet is same.

We have seen and recorded many such eclipses on Jupiter. These are from the perspective of Earth. When the moons of Jupiter comes exactly between the Sun and Jupiter the shadow of moon will fall on Jupiter. The places where the shadow falls, one will see a solar eclipse.

James and John dive from an overhang into the lake below. James simply drops straight down from the edge. John takes a running s

liraira [26]

Answer:

Both of them reach the lake at the same time.

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

Vertical motion of James : -

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Acceleration, a = g

Displacement, s = h

Substituting,

s = ut + 0.5 at²

h = 0 x t + 0.5 x g x t²

$t_{James}=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

Vertical motion of John : -

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Acceleration, a = g

Displacement, s = h

Substituting,

s = ut + 0.5 at²

h = 0 x t + 0.5 x g x t²

$t_{John}=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

So both times are same.

Both of them reach the lake at the same time.

Calculated the measurement uncertainty for Kinetic Energy when :mass = 1.3[kg] +/- 0.4[kg]velocity= 5.2 [m/s] +/- 0.2 [m/s]KE= 1

andriy [413]

Answer:

$\rm KE\pm \Delta KE = 17.6\pm 6.8\ J.$

Explanation:

Given:

Mass, $\rm m\pm\Delta m = 1.3\pm 0.4\ kg.$

Velocity, $\rm v\pm \Delta v = 5.2\pm 0.2\ m/s.$

where,

$\rm \Delta m,\ \Delta v$ are the uncertainties in mass and velocity respectively.

The kinetic energy is given by

$\rm KE = \dfrac 12 mv^2 = \dfrac 12 \times 1.3\times 5.2^2=17.576\approx 17.6\ J.$

The uncertainty in kinetic energy is given as:

$\rm \dfrac{\Delta KE}{KE}=\dfrac{\Delta m}{m}+\dfrac{2\Delta v}{v}\\\dfrac{\Delta KE}{17.6}=\dfrac{0.4}{1.3}+\dfrac{2\times 0.2}{5.2}\\\dfrac{\Delta KE}{17.6}=0.384\\\Rightarrow \Delta KE = 17.6\times 0.384 = 6.7854\ J\approx6.8\ J\\\\Thus,\\\\KE\pm \Delta KE = 17.6\pm 6.8\ J.$

You push a coin across a table. The coin stops. How does this motion relate to balanced and unbalanced forces?

Snezhnost [94]

If you are pushing the coin across the table at a constant rate, the friction of the table and the horizontal force of your hand pushing are equal, and the coin itself moves at a constant rate. If you push a coin and let it go, there is no horizontal force keeping the coin going. Friction slows the coin to a stop. In both cases, the gravitational downward pull of Earth is equally but oppositely resisted by the upward push of table on the coin.
