Sir Percival and his horse are standing still on a field of honor when Sir Rodney, atop his steed gallops by with a constant vel

ocity of 3.00m/s. He flips Percival off as he passes by! Percival instantly begins to give chase with an acceleration of 0.600m/s2. Using Percival’s at rest position as zero, determine the time it takes for Percival to catch up to Rodney.
a. 4.0 s
b. 6.0 s
c. 8.0 s
d. none of these

Answer:

d. none of these

Explanation:

From the given information:

Let assume that Percival catches Sir Rodney's horse in time "t" after covering a certain distance "s"

Then, using the second equation of motion:

S = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2

FOR Percival, we have:

S = (0\times t ) + \dfrac{1}{2} \times 0.6 \ m/s \times t^2  \\ \\  S = 0.3 \ m/s \times t^2  -- --  (1)

FOR Sir Rodney;

S = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2

S = (3\times t ) + \dfrac{1}{2} \times 0 \times t^2  \\ \\  S =3t---  (2)

Equating both equations together; we have:

0.3t² = 3t

0.3t² - 3t = 0

0.3t(t - 10) = 0

If Percival's position at rest = 0

Then; t = 10 s.

How long does it take for the speed of light and sound to travel around the world
irina [24]

-- Light travels straight, not around in a circle. But if it did, it would cover
a distance equal to the length of the equator in about <em>0.13 second</em>.

-- At the speed of sound (in air at standard temperature and pressure),
it would take about <em>32.6 hours </em>to cover the same distance.

When a fixed amount of ideal gas goes through an isobaric expansion A) its internal (thermal) energy does not change.B) the gas
Bingel [31]
<h2>Answer: its temperature must increase.</h2>

Explanation:

In an isobaric process the pressure remains constant, which means the initial pressure and the final pressure will be the same.

In addition, during this thermodynamic process, the volume of the ideal gas expands or contracts in such a way that the variation of pressure \Delta P is neutralized.

Now, according to the First law of Thermodynamics that establishes the conservation of energy:

\Delta U=\Delta Q-\Delta W   (1)

Where:

\Delta U is the internal energy

\Delta Q is the heat transferred

\Delta W is the work

Now, for an isobaric process:

\Delta W=P\Delta V    (2)

Where:

P is the pressure (<u>always positive</u>)

\Delta V is the volume variation of the gas

<u />

<u>Here we have two possible results:</u>

-If the gas expands (positive \Delta V), the work is positive.

-If the gas compresses (negative \Delta V), the work is negative.

In this case we are talking about the first result (work is positive).

Then, according to the above, equation (1) can be written as follows:

\Delta U=\Delta Q - P\Delta V   (3)

Clearing \Delta Q:

\Delta Q=\Delta U+P \Delta V    (4)

Then, for an ideal gas in an isobaric process, part of the heat (Q) added to the system will be used to do work (positive in this case) and the other part <u>will increase the internal energy</u>, hence <u>the temperature will increase as well.</u>
