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

If the volume is held constant, what happens to the pressure of a gas as temperature is decreased? Explain.
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:Decreases

Explanation:

Given

Volume is held constant that is it is a isochoric process.

We know that

PV=nRT

as n,V& R are constant therefore only variables are

P & T

so \frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}

\frac{P_1}{P_2}=\frac{T_1}{T_2}

As T_1 is decreasing therefore Pressure must also decrease so that ratio remains constant.

How long must a tow truck apply a force of 600 N to increase the speed of a 1,500 kg car at rest to 2 m/s?
slega [8]

The time the truck must apply the given force to increase its speed to given value is 5 s.

The given parameters;

  • <em>applied force, F = 600 N</em>
  • <em>mass of the truck, m = 1,500 kg</em>
  • <em>speed of the truck, v = 2 m/s</em>

The force applied to the truck is determined by Newton's second law of motion; <em>which states that the force applied to an object is directly proportional to the product of mass and acceleration of the object.</em>

F = ma

F = \frac{mv}{t} \\\\t = \frac{mv}{F} \\\\t = \frac{1500 \times 2}{600} \\\\t = 5 \ s

Thus, the time the truck must apply the given force to increase its speed to given value is 5 s.

Indiana jones (83.5 kg) is running 3.75 m/s when he jumps in a stationary 312 kg mine cart. what is their joint velocity afterwa
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

.7917 m/s

Explanation:

This is a conservation of momentum question. You have an object initially at rest (cart) so that object is initially at 0 momentum. Indiana Jones is 83.5 kg and running 3.75 m/s so he starts with a momentum of 313.125 kg * m/s because momentum is equal to mass * velocity. Once the person jumps in the cart, the cart and the person can be considered one object and by conservation of momentum, the momentum of the Indiana-cart system is equal to 313.125 kg * m/s. By that, we can set that momentum equal to the combined mass * joint velocity. So 313.125 = (83.5kg + 312kg) * joint velocity. Then just solve for the velocity. The answer should be smaller than the intial velocity of the person of 3.75 m/s because the mine cart is HUGE at 312kg.
