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

An arrow is launched upward with an initial speed of 100 meters per second (m/s). The equations above describe the constant-acce

ankoles [38]

Answer:

d=510.2m

t=10.2s

Explanation:

The formulas for accelerated motion are:

$v=v_0+at\\x=x_0+v_0t+\frac{at^2}{2}$

From them we can get $v^2=v_0^2+2ad$ .

We have:

$v-v_0=at\\t=\frac{v-v_0}{a}$

And substitute:

$x=x_0+v_0(\frac{v-v_0}{a})+\frac{a}{2}(\frac{v-v_0}{a})^2\\x-x_0=\frac{v_0(v-v_0)}{a}+\frac{(v-v_0)^2}{2a}$

We multiply both sides by 2a, and continue:

$2a(x-x_0)=2v_0(v-v_0)+(v-v_0)^2=2v_0v-2v_0^2+v^2+v_0^2-2vv_0=v^2-v_0^2$

Being d the displacement $x-x_0$ , we have $v^2=v_0^2+2ad$

For our exercise, we will write this as:

$d=\frac{v^2-v_0^2}{2a}$

And taking upwards direction positive and imposing final velocity 0m/s (for maximum height), we have:

$d=\frac{-v_0^2}{2a}=\frac{-(100m/s)^2}{2(-9,8m/s^2)}=510.2m$

For the time we use:

$t=\frac{v-v_0}{a}=\frac{-v_0}{a}=\frac{-(100m/s)}{(-9.8m/s^2)}=10.2s$

Three thermometers are in the same water bath. After thermal equilibrium is established, it is found that the Celsius thermomete

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

OPTION A, Kelvin Thermometer is Incorrect

Explanation:

Now, if you consider best two out of three results, then celsius and Fahrenheit thermometers read the same value, meaning both are right.

1) K = °C + 273

K = 100°C + 273

k = 373°C

Kelvin Thermometer is Incorrect

2) $C = \frac{F - 32}{1.8}$

when we have 212°F

$C = \frac{212 - 32}{1.8} \\\\= 100^\circ C$

which is correct

A 7750 kg space probe, moving nose-first toward Jupiter at 179 m/s relative to the Sun, fires its rocket engine, ejecting 72.0 k

Reika [66]

Answer:

179.47m/s

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

m1 and m2 are the masses

u1 and u2 are the initial velocities

v is the final velocity

Substitute

7750(179)+72(230) = (7750+72)v

1,387,250+16560 = 7822v

1,403,810 = 7822v

v = 1,403,810/7822

v= 179.47m/s

Hence the final velocity of the probe is 179.47m/s
