A tortoise can run with a speed of 0.14 m/s, and a hare can run 20 times as fast. In a race, they both start at the same time, b

ut the hare stops to rest for 1.0 minutes. The tortoise wins by a shell (30 cm). (a) how long does the race take? S (b) what is the length of the race?

speed of tortoise is given as v1 = 0.14 m/s

speed of hare is given as v2 = 20*0.14 = 2.8 m/s

now let say the total length of the path is "d"

so the total time taken by the tortoise to cover this

t = \frac{d}{0.14}

now given that hare took rest for 1 min

so total time of run for hare is (t - 60)s

so the distance that hare covered is given by

d - 0.30 = 2.8 * (t - 60)

now by above two equations

d - 0.30 = 2.8 * \frac{d}{0.14} - 168

168 - 0.30 = (20 - 1)d

d = 8.82 m

and the time t is given by

t = \frac{8.82}{0.14}

t = 63 s

so part a)

t = 63 s

part b)

d = 8.82 m

A ball is launched from ground level and hits the ground again after an elapsed time of 4 seconds and after traveling a horizont
jeka94

Answer:

1)a. It is constant the whole time the ball is in free-fall.

2)b. = 14 m/s

3) e. = 19.6 m/s

Explanation:

1) given that the only force acting on the ball is gravity, gravity acts along the vertical axis. Since no other force acts on the ball then the horizontal velocity will remain constant all through the flight since there is no horizontal force acting on the ball.

2) speed = distance/time

horizontal distance = 56m

Time = 4 seconds

Speed = 56m/4s = 14m/s

3) acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8m/s^2

Initial vertical velocity = u

Final vertical velocity = v = -u

Using the law of motion;

v = u + at

a = acceleration = -g = -9.8m/s^2

t = time of flight = 4

Substituting the values;

-u = u - 4(9.8)

-2u = -4(9.8)

u = -4(9.8)/-2

u = 2(9.8) = 19.6 m/s

Initial vertical velocity = u = 19.6 m/s

Tpy6a [65]
A joule is one Newton of force applied over a meter.
For every meter, the brakes put 240000N of force (N=Newtons).
For 40m, multiply the Newtons by 40.
240000N*40=9600000N

A batter hits a foul ball. The 0.140-kg baseball that was approaching him at 40.0 m/s leaves the bat at 30.0 m/s in a direction
lara31 [8.8K]
<h3>Answer</h3><h3>7 Ns</h3><h3>Explanation</h3>

Given in the question,

mass of foul ball = 0.140 kg

initial speed with which ball was hit with the bat = 30 m/s

final speed  = 40 m/s

According to the scenario the whole scene is making a right angle triangle

So, to the solve the question we will use pythagorus theorem

<h3>Hypotenuse² = base² + height²</h3>

Here,

Hypotenuse= Magnitude of impulse

Base = 1st change of momentum

height = 2nd change of momentum

 

1st impulse (1st change of momentum)

p = m(1)v(1) = (0.14 kg)(40.0 m/s) = 5.6 kg m / s = 5.6 N s

2nd impulse (2nd change of momentum)

p = m(2)v(2) = (0.14 kg)(30.0 m/s) = 4.2 kg m / s = 4.2 N s

Magnitude of impulse (hypotenuse of triangle)

impulse² = (5.6)² + (4.2)²

impulse² = 31.36 + 17.64

impulse² = 49

impulse² = √49

impulse = 7.0 N s

Explain how heat (thermal energy) can change the motion (kinetic energy) of the particles in objects.
Vika [28.1K]
