Complete Question

While john is traveling along a straight in interstate highway, he notices that the mile marker reads 242 km. John travels until he reaches the 147 km marker and then retraces his path to the 161 km marker. What is John's resultant displacement from the 242 km marker? How far has he traveled answer in units of km

Answer:

The resultant displacement \Delta x _{1 , 3} = 81 \ km

The total distance traveled by john is  x_t =109 \  km

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The first position of john from the finish point   is x_1 =  242 \  km

       The second position of john from the finish point is   x_2 =  147 \ km

        The third position of john from the finish point is x_3 =  161 \  km

Generally the displacement from the 242 km  marker is mathematically represented as

          \Delta x _{1 , 3} =  x_1 - x_3

Here we used x_3 instead of  x_2 because x_3 is further than x_2 from the finish point

=>       \Delta x _{1 , 3} = 81 \ km

Generally the total distance traveled by John is  mathematically evaluated as

         x_t =  [x_1 - x_2 ] + [x_3 - x_2]

=>       x_t =  [242  - 147 ] + [161 - 147]

=>       x_t =109 \  km

A rocket is launched from rest and moves in a straight line at 30.0 degrees above the horizontal with an acceleration of 35.0 m/
klemol [59]

Answer:

t = 123.59s

Explanation:

For the launch pad section:

Vf = Vo + a*t  where Vo=0.

Vf = 35*25 = 875m/s

The distance traveled during the launch:

d = Vo*t+\frac{a*t^2}{2} = 0+\frac{35*25^2}{2} = 10937.5m

Now the projectile motion, we know that its initial speed is the speed calculated previously and the initial height is the y-component of the previously calculated distance.

\Delta Y = Vo*sin(30)*t - \frac{g*t^2}{2}

-d*sin(30) = Vo*sin(30)*t - \frac{g*t^2}{2}  where d= 10937.5m; Vo=875m/s.

Solving for t:

t1 = -11.093s   t2 = 98.59s

So, the total time of flight will be:

t_{total} = t_{launch}+t_{projectile}=25+98.59 = 123.59s

A swimmer swims 1000 m in the pool in 8.6 minutes. What was the average speed of the swimmer in m/s?
lawyer [7]

Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Speed = (1,000 meters / 8.6 minutes) x (1 minute / 60 seconds) = 1.94 m/s

Two balls with equal masses, m, and equal speed, v, engage in a head on elastic collision. what is the final velocity of each ba
Allushta [10]
The collision is elastic. This means that both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved after the collision.

- Let's start with conservation of momentum. The initial momentum of the total system is the sum of the momenta of the two balls, but we should put a negative sign in front of the velocity of the second ball, because it travels in the opposite direction of ball 1. So ball 1 has mass m and speed v, while ball 2 has mass m and speed -v:
p_i = p_1-p_2 = mv-mv =0
So, the final momentum must be zero as well:
p_f = 0
Calling v1 and v2 the velocities of the two balls after the collision, the final momentum can be written as
p_f = mv_1 + mv_2 = 0
From which
v_1 = -v_2

- So now let's apply conservation of kinetic energy. The kinetic energy of each ball is \frac{1}{2} mv^2. Therefore, the total kinetic energy before the collision is
K_i = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 +  \frac{1}{2} mv^2 = mv^2
the kinetic energy after the collision must be conserved, and therefore must be equal to this value:
K_f = K_i = mv^2 (1)
But the final kinetic energy, Kf, is also
K_f =  \frac{1}{2} mv_1^2 +  \frac{1}{2}mv_2^2
Substituting v_1 = -v_2 as we found in the conservation of momentum, this becomes
K_f = mv_2 ^2
we also said that Kf must be equal to the initial kinetic energy (1), therefore we can write 
mv_2^2 = mv^2

Therefore, the two final speeds of the balls are
v_2 = v
v_1 = -v_2 = -v

This means that after the collision, the two balls have same velocity v, but they go in the opposite direction with respect to their original direction.

Two metal spheres of different sizes are charged such that the electric potential is the same at the surface of each. Sphere A h
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Radius of A is twice of B i.e.

R_A=2R_B

Also Potential of both sphere is same

V_A=V_B

V=\frac{kQ}{R}

thus

k\frac{Q_A}{R_A}=K\frac{Q_B}{R_B}

\frac{Q_A}{Q_B}=\frac{R_A}{R_B}

\frac{Q_A}{Q_B}=\frac{2}{1}=2

\frac{Q_B}{Q_A}=\frac{1}{2}

(b)Ratio of \frac{E_B}{E_A}

Electric Field is given by E=\frac{kQ}{R^2}

thus E_A=\frac{kQ_A}{R_A^2}----1

E_B=\frac{kQ_B}{R_B^2}----2

Divide 2 by 1

\frac{E_B}{E_A}=\frac{Q_B}{R_B^2}\times \frac{R_A^2}{Q_A}

\frac{E_B}{E_A}=\frac{1}{2}\times 4=2
