Answer:
5 hours
Explanation:
Let the required time be x hours. The time will be the same for both cars.
The cars will cover different distances because they are travelling at different speeds.
<em>D=S×T </em>
The distance travelled by the slower car = 50×x miles.
The distance travelled by the faster car = 58×x miles.
The two distances differ by 40 miles.
58x−50x=40
8x=40
x=5 hours
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A second method:
The difference in the distances is 40 miles
The difference in the speeds is #8mph.
The time to make up the 40 miles= =5 hours
Answer:
v = 0.41 m/s
Explanation:
- In this case, the change in the mechanical energy, is equal to the work done by the fricition force on the block.
- At any point, the total mechanical energy is the sum of the kinetic energy plus the elastic potential energy.
- So, we can write the following general equation, taking the initial and final values of the energies:
- Since the block and spring start at rest, the change in the kinetic energy is just the final kinetic energy value, Kf.
- ⇒ Kf = 1/2*m*vf² (2)
- The change in the potential energy, can be written as follows:
where k = force constant = 815 N/m
xf = final displacement of the block = 0.01 m (taking as x=0 the position
for the spring at equilibrium)
x₀ = initial displacement of the block = 0.03 m
- Regarding the work done by the force of friction, it can be written as follows:
where μk = coefficient of kinettic friction, Fn = normal force, and Δx =
horizontal displacement.
- Since the surface is horizontal, and no acceleration is present in the vertical direction, the normal force must be equal and opposite to the force due to gravity, Fg:
- Fn = Fg= m*g (5)
- Replacing (5) in (4), and (3) and (4) in (1), and rearranging, we get:
- Replacing by the values of m, k, g, xf and x₀, in (7) and solving for v, we finally get:
Person standing on A will hear the loudest sound
Explanation:
The intensity of a sound wave (which is proportional to the loudness of the sound) follows an inverse square law, which is:
where
I is the intensity of the wave
r is the distance from the source of the sound
This equation means that the intensity of the sound wave (and therefore, its loudness) is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source: therefore,
- As we get closer to the source of sound, the loudness increases
- As we move away from the source of sound, the loudness decreases
Therefore, the person that will hear the loudest sound is the one standing closer to the source, and therefore person A.
