Answer:

7.53 km

Explanation:

We at given;

Speed of runner; v_r = 8.5 km/hr

Speed of bird; v_y = 17 km/hr

L = 6.4 km

We know that; time = distance/speed.

We are told that the bird starts from 6.4 km from the start and that it flies back to meet the runner after it reaches the finish line. If the total distance back to the runner is x, it means bird distance is 6.4 + (6.4 - x) = 12.8 - x

Thus;

Time of bird(t_y) = (12.8 - x)/17

Thus,

Time of runner(t_r) = x/8.5 hr

To find x, we have to equate the times of the runner and the bird.

Thus;

x/8.5 = (12.8 - x)/17

Multiply both sides by 17 to get;

2x = 12.8 - x

2x + x = 12.8

3x = 12.8

x = 12.8/3

x = 4.27 km

Thus, cumulative distance traveled by bird is; 12.8 - 4.27 = 7.53 km

A 0.540-kg bucket rests on a scale. Into this bucket you pour sand at the constant rate of 56.0 g/s. If the sand lands in the bu

romanna [79]

Answer:

a) 12.8212 N

b) 12.642 N

Explanation:

Mass of bucket = m = 0.54 kg

Rate of filling with sand = 56.0 g/ sec = 0.056 kg/s

Speed of sand = 3.2 m/s

g= 9.8 m/sec2

<u>Condition (a);</u>

Mass of sand = Ms = 0.75 kg

So total mass becomes = bucket mass + sand mass = 0.54 +0.75=1.29 kg

== > total weight = 1.29 × 9.8 = 12.642 N

Now impact of sand = rate of filling × velocity = 0.056 × 3.2 = 0.1792 kg. m /sec2=0.1792 N

Scale reading is sum of impact of sand and weight force ;

i-e

scale reading = 12.642 N+0.1792 N = 12.8212 N

<u>Codition (b);</u>

bucket mass + sand mass = 0.54 +0.75=1.29 kg

==>weight = mg = 1.29 × 9.8 = 12.642 N (readily calculated above as well)

un resorte de 10cm de longitud recibe una magnitud de fuerza que lo estira hasta medir 15cm ¿cual es la magnitud de la tension u

Ber [7]

Answer: 0.5

Explanation:

The modulus of elasticity (called <em>"alargamiento unitario"</em> in spanish) $\epsilon$ of a spring is given by the following formula:

$\epsilon=\frac{\Delta L}{L}$

Where:

$L=10 cm$ is the original length of the spring

$\Delta L=L_{f}-L$ is the elongation of the spring, being $L_{f}=15 cm$ the length of the spring after a force is applied to it.

$\epsilon=\frac{L_{f}-L}{L}=\frac{15 cm - 10 cm}{10 cm}$

Then:

$\epsilon=0.5$

If a force of 12 N is applied to an object

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 3 kg</h3>

Explanation:

The mass of the object can be found by using the formula

$m = \frac{f}{a} \\$

f is the force

a is the acceleration

From the question we have

$m = \frac{12}{4} \\$

We have the final answer as
