A motorcycle patrolman is monitoring traffic from behind a billboard along a stretch of road where the speed limit is 96.0 km/hr

. He clocks a motorist at 107 km/hr and decides to give chase and award the driver a speeding ticket. By the time he gets onto the highway and up to his chase speed of 131 km/hr, he is 350 m behind the speeder. Determine the amount of time it takes the patrolman to catch the speeder.

Answer:

The time taken is t =  52.5 \  s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The speed limit is v__{{l}}} =  96.0 \ km/hr = \frac{96 * 1000}{3600} = 26.7 \  m/s

The velocity of the motorist is v_m  =  107 \  km/hr  =  \frac{107 * 1000}{3600} =  29.72 \  m/s

The chase speed of the motorcycle patrolman is v =  131 \ km/hr  =  \frac{131 *1000}{3600} = 36.39 \  m/s

The relative distance between the motorcycle patrolman and the speeder is d= 350 m

Generally the relative speed between the the motorcycle patrolman and the speeder is mathematically represented as

v_r =  v - v_m

=> v_r =  36.39 - 29.72

=> v_r =  6.67 \  m/s

Generally the time taken is mathematically represented as

t =  \frac{v_r}{d}

=>     t =  \frac{350}{ 6.67}

=>    t =  52.5 \  s

Carlos was camping and getting cold as the sun went down. He wanted to light a fire for warmth and light. However, he discovered
storchak [24]
1. The chemical reaction produced by Carlo's fire is exergonic because energy is "going out". As the reaction proceeds, entropy increases as the energy stored in the dry wood and leaves are used up as fuel to create the fire which produces low quality light and warmth.  

2. This reaction is a classic example of an exothermic reaction. Exothermic reactions are characterized with the presence of heat and light in the products. Combustion reactions are always exothermic in nature.

3. Catalyst are substances that are used to speed up reactions by lowering the activation requirement. Catalysts aren't consumed in the reaction and can still be chemically retrieved afterwards. In this situation, the leaves cannot be retrieved after the reaction ends. The leaves speed up the heating of the wood but it does not behave as a catalyst.

Calculate the gravitational attraction between two objects which masses are: mass A: 2.5kg, mass B: 5kg. The distance between th
jonny [76]

From the calculation, the gravitational force of attraction is  1.33 * 10^-14 N.

<h3>What is the gravitational force?</h3>

The gravitational force is an attractive force that acts between any two masses.

It is given by;

F = Gm1m2/r^2

F = 6.67 * × 10−11 * 2.5 * 5/(250)^2

F  = 83.4  × 10−11 /62500

F= 1.33 * 10^-14 N

When the cylinder is displaced slightly along its vertical axis it will oscillate about its equilibrium position with a frequenc
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

w = √[g /L (½ r²/L2 + 2/3 ) ]

When the mass of the cylinder changes if its external dimensions do not change the angular velocity DOES NOT CHANGE

Explanation:

We can simulate this system as a physical pendulum, which is a pendulum with a distributed mass, in this case the angular velocity is

          w² = mg d / I

In this case, the distance d to the pivot point of half the length (L) of the cylinder, which we consider long and narrow

         d = L / 2

The moment of inertia of a cylinder with respect to an axis at the end we can use the parallel axes theorem, it is approximately equal to that of a long bar plus the moment of inertia of the center of mass of the cylinder, this is tabulated

        I = ¼ m r2 + ⅓ m L2

        I = m (¼ r2 + ⅓ L2)

now let's use the concept of density to calculate the mass of the system

        ρ = m / V

        m = ρ V

the volume of a cylinder is

         V = π r² L

          m =  ρ π r² L

let's substitute

        w² = m g (L / 2) / m (¼ r² + ⅓ L²)

        w² = g L / (½ r² + 2/3 L²)

        L >> r

         w = √[g /L (½ r²/L2 + 2/3 ) ]

When the mass of the cylinder changes if its external dimensions do not change the angular velocity DOES NOT CHANGE

Describe the energy transfer when you touch a block of ice with your hand
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Thermal energy always flows from the warmer object to the colder object. This causes your hand to get cold, while the ice absorbs your heat and melts.
