Towards the end of a 400m race, Faisal and Edward are leading and are both running at 6m/s. While Faisal is 72m from the finish

line Edward is 100m from the finish line. Realising this and to beat Faisal, Edward decides to accelerate uniformly at 0.2 m/s2 until the end of the race while Faisal keeps on the same constant speed. Does Edward succeed in beating Faisal

Answer:

NO

Explanation:

To determine this, we have to firstly determine the time it took Faisal to complete the race with 72 meters left and then the speed Edward used for the final 100 meters (with both distance occurring at the same point in time).

To determine the time it took Faisal from that onward, we use the formula

Speed = distance/time

Since Faisal maintained his speed at the end of the race, the speed will be 6 m/s while distance at the end to be covered his 72 m. Thus

6 = 72/time

time = 72/6

time = 12 seconds; It will take Faisal 12 seconds to complete the race from that point.

For Edward, he accelerated uniformly (for 0.2 m/s²) after running at a constant speed of 6 m/s. Thus, the time it would have taken him to complete (at a speed of 6 m/s) the final 100 m would be

speed = distance/time

6 = 100/time

time = 100/6

time = 16.67 s.

However, he accelerated uniformly at 0.2m/s², hence to get the speed, the formula; speed = acceleration × time will be used

speed = 0.2 × 16.67

speed = 3.334 m/s

To determine the time it took Edward from 100 meters away,

speed = distance/time

3.334 = 100/time

time = 100/3.334

time = 29.94 seconds

<u>It would have taken Edward 29.94 seconds to complete the race, hence he would not have succeeded in defeating Faisal</u>

According to the article "Nuclear shapes" by Renee Lucas the nucleus's shape is mainly modified by vibrational and rotational features happening within the cell. According to the article if i read correctly "near closed shells spherical shapes prevail, while between closed shells the large number of valence nucleons in orbit with large particle angular momentum leads to nuclei with large deformations leading them to not only maintain its shape but also alloying it to work.

Consider the motion of a 4.00-kg particle that moves with potential energy given by U(x) = + a) Suppose the particle is moving w
gtnhenbr [62]

Correct question:

Consider the motion of a 4.00-kg particle that moves with potential energy given by

U(x) = \frac{(2.0 Jm)}{x}+ \frac{(4.0 Jm^2)}{x^2}

a) Suppose the particle is moving with a speed of 3.00 m/s when it is located at x = 1.00 m. What is the speed of the object when it is located at x = 5.00 m?

b) What is the magnitude of the force on the 4.00-kg particle when it is located at x = 5.00 m?

Answer:

a) 3.33 m/s

b) 0.016 N

Explanation:

a) given:

V = 3.00 m/s

x1 = 1.00 m

x = 5.00

u(x) = \frac{-2}{x} + \frac{4}{x^2}

At x = 1.00 m

u(1) = \frac{-2}{1} + \frac{4}{1^2}

= 4J

Kinetic energy = (1/2)mv²

= \frac{1}{2} * 4(3)^2

= 18J

Total energy will be =

4J + 18J = 22J

At x = 5

u(5) = \frac{-2}{5} + \frac{4}{5^2}

= \frac{4-10}{25} = \frac{-6}{25} J

= -0.24J

Kinetic energy =

\frac{1}{2} * 4Vf^2

= 2Vf²

Total energy =

2Vf² - 0.024

Using conservation of energy,

Initial total energy = final total energy

22 = 2Vf² - 0.24

Vf² = (22+0.24) / 2

Vf = \sqrt{frac{22.4}{2}

= 3.33 m/s

b) magnitude of force when x = 5.0m

u(x) = \frac{-2}{x} + \frac{4}{x^2}

\frac{-du(x)}{dx} = \frac{-d}{dx} [\frac{-2}{x}+ \frac{4}{x^2}

= \frac{2}{x^2} - \frac{8}{x^3}

At x = 5.0 m

\frac{2}{5^2} - \frac{8}{5^3}

F = \frac{2}{25} - \frac{8}{125}

= 0.016N

Match each type of wave to the way it moves.
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Transverse wave- Back and forth at right angles to the direction of the wave arrow.

longitudinal wave- bask and forth in the direction of the motion of the motion of the wave.

electromagnetic wave- two alternating waves moving at right angles to each other.

Explanation:

In a longitudinal wave, the particles vibrate at right angles in reference to the wave motion.

In a transverse wave, the particles vibrate parallel to the wave motion

Electromagnetic waves occur as a result of the interaction between two  waves and are normally transverse in nature.
