Answer:
20.96 h
Explanation:
The perimeter of the track is 2*pi*r = 20pi miles
In 10 hours, car B would have moved 20miles. So, when Car A leaves from point X, car B is 20pi - 20 miles from point X counter-clockwise and car A.
From here, we can express the distance of A from X like this:
xa = 3t
And the distance of B would be:
xb = 20pi - 20 - 2t
The time t where they would passed each other and put 12 miles between them would be the one where xa - xb is equal to 12:
xa - xb = 12
3t - (20pi - 20 - 2t) = 12
5t = 20 pi - 8
t = (20pi - 8)/5 = 10.96 h
Remember to add this value to the 10 hours car B had already been racing:
t = 20.96h
Typically no. Displacement can be in multiple directions as a vector. of something is traveling only along x, then it would be true though this is usually not the case.
Answer:
(a) the speed of the block after the bullet embeds itself in the block is 3.226 m/s
(b) the kinetic energy of the bullet plus the block before the collision is 500J
(c) the kinetic energy of the bullet plus the block after the collision is 16.13J
Explanation:
Given;
mass of bullet, m₁ = 0.1 kg
initial speed of bullet, u₁ = 100 m/s
mass of block, m₂ = 3 kg
initial speed of block, u₂ = 0
Part (A)
Applying the principle of conservation linear momentum, for inelastic collision;
m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)
where;
v is the speed of the block after the bullet embeds itself in the block
(0.1 x 100) + (3 x 0) = v (0.1 + 3)
10 = 3.1v
v = 10/3.1
v = 3.226 m/s
Part (B)
Initial Kinetic energy
Ki = ¹/₂m₁u₁² + ¹/₂m₂u₂²
Ki = ¹/₂(0.1 x 100²) + ¹/₂(3 x 0²)
Ki = 500 + 0
Ki = 500 J
Part (C)
Final kinetic energy
Kf = ¹/₂m₁v² + ¹/₂m₂v²
Kf = ¹/₂v²(m₁ + m₂)
Kf = ¹/₂ x 3.226²(0.1 + 3)
Kf = ¹/₂ x 3.226²(3.1)
Kf = 16.13 J
It means that velocity not only has a size, but it also has a direction.
Some other vector quantities are force and acceleration.
They have sizes and directions.
Temperature, cost, and weight are quantities with only size and no direction.
Those are called "scalar" quantities.
