After robbing a bank, a criminal tries to escape from the police by driving at a constant speed of 55 m/s (about 125 mph). A pol

ice officer, initially at rest, starts chasing the criminal when he drives by, accelerating at a constant rate of 6.1m/s2. How long will it take the officer to catch the criminal?

Answer:

18.03 s

Explanation:

We have two different types of motions, the criminal moves with uniform motion while the police do it with uniformly accelerated motion. Therefore we will use the equations of these cases. We know that by the time the police reach the criminal they will have traveled the same distance.

x=vt\\x=x_{0}+v_{0}t+\frac{a}{2}t^2

The distance between the police and the criminal when the first one starts the persecution is 0, its initial speed is also zero. So:

x=(55m/s)t\\x=\frac{6.1m/s^2}{2}t^2=(3.05m/s^2)t^2

Equalizing these two equations and solving for t:

(55m/s)t=(3.05m/s^2)t^2\\(3.05m/s^2)t^2-(55m/s)t=0\\t((3.05m/s^2)t-55m/s)=0\\t=0 \\(3.05m/s^2)t-55m/s=0\\t=\frac{55m/s}{3.05m/s^2}=18.03 s

If an object is projected upward with an initial velocity of 127 ft per? sec, its height h after t seconds is h equals negative
Stolb23 [73]
To determine the height of the object given the time, we simply use the given relation between height and time in the problem statement. It is given as:

h = -16t^2 + 127t

We substitute 55 seconds to t and obtain,

h = -16(55)^2 + 127(55)
h = - 41415

In which medium does light travel faster: one with a critical angle of 27.0° or one with a critical angle of 32.0°? Explain. (Fo
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Among those two medium, light would travel faster in the one with a reflection angle of 32^{\circ} (when light enters from the air.)

Explanation:

Let v_{1} denote the speed of light in the first medium. Let v_{\text{air}} denote the speed of light in the air. Assume that the light entered the boundary at an angle of \theta_{1} to the normal and exited with an angle of \theta_{\text{air}}. By Snell's Law, the sine of \theta_{1}\! and \theta_{\text{air}}\! would be proportional to the speed of light in the corresponding medium. In other words:

\displaystyle \frac{v_{1}}{v_{\text{air}}} = \frac{\sin(\theta_{1})}{\sin(\theta_{\text{air}})}.

When light enters a boundary at the critical angle \theta_{c}, total internal reflection would happen. It would appear as if the angle of refraction is now 90^{\circ}. (in this case, \theta_{\text{air}} = 90^{\circ}.)

Substitute this value into the Snell's Law equation:

\begin{aligned}\frac{v_{1}}{v_{\text{air}}} &= \frac{\sin(\theta_{1})}{\sin(\theta_{\text{air}})} \\ &= \frac{\sin(\theta_{c})}{\sin(90^{\circ})} \\ &= \sin(\theta_{c})\end{aligned}.

Rearrange to obtain an expression for the speed of light in the first medium:

v_{1} = v_{\text{air}} \cdot \sin(\theta_{1}).

The speed of light in a medium (with the speed of light slower than that in the air) would be proportional to the critical angle at the boundary between this medium and the air.

For 0 < \theta < 90^{\circ}, \sin(\theta) is monotonically increasing with respect to \theta. In other words, for \!\theta in that range, the value of \sin(\theta)\! increases as the value of \theta\! increases.

Therefore, compared to the medium in this question with \theta_{c} = 27^{\circ}, the medium with the larger critical angle \theta_{c} = 32^{\circ} would have a larger \sin(\theta_{c}). such that light would travel faster in that medium.

When water freezes, its volume increases by 9.05%. What force per unit area is water capable of exerting on a container when it
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

The Pressure is 0.20 MPa.

(b) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Change in volume = 9.05%

{tex]\dfrac{\Delta V}{V_{0}}=0.0905[/tex]

We know that.

The bulk modulus for water

B=0.20\times10^{10}\ N/m^2

We need to calculate the pressure difference

Using formula bulk modulus formula

B=\Delta P\dfrac{V_{0}}{\Delta V}

\Delta P=B\dfrac{\Delta V}{V_{0}}

\Delta P=0.2\times10^{10}\times0.0905

\Delta P=0.2\times10^{6}\ Pa

\Delta P=0.20 MPa

Hence, The Pressure is 0.20 MPa.
