A police officer is parked by the side of the road, when a speeding car travelling at 50 mi/hrpasses. The police car immediately

pursues it, accelerating at a rate of 10 mi/hr per second.The road is fairly busy, so the officer will not go faster than a top speed of 70 mi/hr. How longwill it take before the officer catches up to the speeding car, and how far will it have travelled inorder to do so

Answer:

a) time taken to catch up with speeding car is 12.25 secs

b) the police car will travel 273.8 m to catch up with the speeding car

Explanation:

Given that;

speed of car V_{c} = 50 mi/hr = 22.352 m/s

acceleration of police car = 10 mi/hr = 4.47 m/s²

V_{f}  = 70 mi/hr = 31.29 m/s

Now time taken to reach maximum speed is t₁

so

V_{f} =  V_{i} + at₁

we substitute

31.29 = 0 + 4.47t₁

t₁ = 31.29 / 4.47

t₁  = 7 sec

now

d₁ = 0 + 1/2 × at₁²

d₁ = 0 + 1/2 × 0 + 4.47×(7)²

d₁ = 109.5 m

so distance travelled by the speeding car in time t₁  will be

d_{c} = V_{c} × t₁

we substitute

d_{c} = 22.352 × 7

d_{c}  = 156.46 m

now distance between polive car and speeding car

Δd =  d_{c} - d₁

Δd = 156.46 - 109.5

Δd = 46.96 m

time taken to cover Δd will be

t₂ = Δd / ( V_{f} - V_{c} )

t₂ = 46.96 / ( 31.29 - 22.352 )

t₂ = 46.96 / 8.938

t₂ = 5.25 sec

distance travelled by the police in time t₂ will be

d₂ = V_{f} × t₂

d₂ = 31.29 × 5.25

d₂ = 164.3 m

a) How long will it take before the officer catches up to the speeding car;

time taken to catch up with speeding car;

t = t₁ + t₂

t = 7 + 5.25

t = 12.25 secs

Therefore, time taken to catch up with speeding car is 12.25 secs

b)  how far will it have travelled in order to do so;

distance = d₁ + d₂

distance = 109.5 + 164.3

distance = 273.8 m

Therefore, the police car will travel 273.8 m to catch up with the speeding car

A liquid in a given capillary tube always rises up to a fixed height but not infinitely why
podryga [215]

The answer is; the density of the liquid suppresses the height to which it can rise

The density acts in the opposite direction of capillary action. Capillary action allows the liquid to rise in the tube and the narrower the tube the higher the capillary action and the higher the liquid rises. The denser the liquid however, the lower it will rise. The column stops rising when the capillary force is balanced by the weight of the rising liquid due to gravity.

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

\omega =13-\frac{1}{2}\cdot t^2

Motor reverse its direction when \omega =0

13-0.5t^2=0

26=t^2

t=\sqrt{26}=5.099\approx 5.1 s

(b)

\frac{\mathrm{d} \theta }{\mathrm{d} t}=\omega

\int d\theta =\int_{0}^{5.1}\omega dt

\int d\theta =\int_{0}^{t}(13-.05t^2)dt

\theta =(13t-0.1667\times t^3)_0^{5.1}

\theta =44.192^{\circ}

A 42.6kg lamp is hanging from wires as shown in figure.The ring has negligible mass. Find tensionsT1, T2,T3 if the object is in
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

T1 = 417.48N

T2 = 361.54N

T3 = 208.74N

Explanation:

Using the sin rule to fine the tension in the strings;

Given

amass = 42.6kg

Weight = 42.6 * 9.8 = 417.48N

The third angle will be 180-(60+30)= 90 degrees

Using the sine rule

W/Sin 90 = T3/sin 30 = T2/sin 60

Get T3;

W/Sin 90 = T3/sin 30

417.48/1 = T3/sin30

T3 = 417.48sin30

T3 = 417.48(0.5)

T3 = 208.74N

Also;

W/sin90 = T2/sin 60

417.48/1 = T2/sin60

T2 = 417.48sin60

T2 = 417.48(0.8660)

T2 = 361.54N

The Tension T1 = Weight of the object = 417.48N

The terminal velocity is not dependent on which one of the following properties? the drag coefficient 1 the force of gravity 2 c
ahrayia [7]
<h2>Answer: the falling time</h2>

Explanation:

When a body or object falls, basically two forces act on it:  

1. The force of air friction, also called<em> </em><u><em>"drag force"</em></u> D:  

D={C}_{d}\frac{\rho V^{2} }{2}A  (1)

Where:  

C_ {d} is the drag coefficient  

\rho is the density  of the fluid (air for example)

V is the velocity  

A is the transversal area of the object

So, this force is proportional to the transversal area of ​​the falling element and to the square of the velocity.  

2. Its <u>weight </u>due to the gravity force W:  

W=m.g

(2)

Where:  

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due gravity  

So, at the moment <u>when the drag force equals the gravity force, the object will have its terminal velocity:</u>

D=W (3)

{C}_{d}\frac{\rho V^{2} }{2}A=m.g  (4)

V=\sqrt{\frac{2m.g}{\rho A{C}_{d}}}  (5) This is the terminal velocity

As we can see, there is no "falling time" in this equation.

Therefore, the terminal velocity is not dependent on the falling time.
