In an 8.00km race, one runner runs at a steady 11.8 km/hr and another runs at 15.0 km/hr. How far from the finish line is the sl
Aleks [24]

Answer:

The slower runner is 1.71 km from the finish line when the fastest runner finishes the race.

Explanation:

Given;

the speed of the slower runner, u₁ = 11.8 km/hr

the speed of the fastest runner, u₂ = 15 km/hr

distance, d = 8 km

The time when the fastest runner finishes the race is given by;

Time = \frac{Distance }{speed}\\\\Time = \frac{8}{15} \\\\Time = 0.533 \ hr

The distance covered by the slower runner at this time is given by;

d₁ = u₁ x 0.533 hr

d₁ = 11.8 km/hr x 0.533 hr

d₁ = 6.29 km

Additional distance (x) the slower runner need to finish is given by;

6.29 km + x = 8km

x = 8 k m - 6.29 km

x = 1.71 km

Therefore, the slower runner is 1.71 km from the finish line when the fastest runner finishes the race.

Pete Zaria applies a 4.0-N force to a 1.0-kg mug of root beer to accelerate it over a distance of 1.0-meter along the countertop
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Work done = 4 J

Final Kinetic Energy = 4 J

Explanation:

From the question,

Work done = force × distance

W = F×d................... Equation 1

Given: F = 4.0 N, d = 1.0 meter.

Substitute these values into equation 1

W = 4×1

W = 4 Joules.

Also,

Kenetic Energy = 1/2 × mass × velocity×velocity.

K.E = 1/2(mv²)........... (2).

But,

F = ma

Where F = 4 N, m = 1 kg.

a = 4/1 = 4 m/s².

Using,

v² = u² + 2as............. Equation 3

Where u = 0 m/s, a = 4 m/s², s = 1 m.

Substitute into equation 3

v² = 0² +2×4×1

v² = 8

v = √8 m/s.

Substitutting into equation 2

K.E = 1/2(1)(√8)²

K.E = 1/2(8)

K.E = 4 J.

Hence the work done and the Final Kinetic energy are thesame = 4 J
