Answer:

The width of the intersection is 20 meters

Explanation:

The speed with which the cyclist is riding, v₁ = 6.20 m/s

The rate at which the car starts to accelerate, a = 3.844 m/s²

The initial velocity of the car = The car is stationary at the start = 0 m/s

The time at which the cyclist and the car reach the other side of the intersection = The same time;

Let 't' represent the time at which the cyclist and the car both reach the other side of the intersection, we have;

The distance travelled by the cyclist = The distance traveled by the car

∴ v₁ × t = 1/2 × a × t²

Plugging in the values for 'v₁', and 'a' in the above equation, we get;

6.20 × t = 1/2 × 3.844 × t²

∴ 1.922·t² - 6.20·t = 0

∴ t·(1.922·t - 6.20) = 0

t = 0, or t = 6.20/1.922 = 100/31

The time at which the cyclist and the car both reach the other side of the intersection, t = 100/31 seconds

The with of the intersection, w = v₁ × t

∴ w = 6.20 × 100/31 = 100/5 = 20

The width of the intersection, w = 20 meters.

TRUE OR FALSE? earth revolves around the sun tilted on its axis

Alex777 [14]

The axis of the Earth's rotation is tilted relative to the plain of the Earth's revolution around the Sun.

The question is worded very poorly, but you'd have to say it's TRUE.

A shotputter throws the shot with an initial speed of 15.6 m/s at a 30.0 degree angle to the horizontal. Calculate the horizonta

vfiekz [6]

To calculate the horizontal distance traveled by the shot if it leaves the athlete's hand at a height of 2.20 above the ground we can get the root of the quad equation for time are t=-0.24 or t =1.84 taking the t = 1.84, so the equation will be:
x = 15.6cos(30) * 1.86, x = 24.79m

An object of mass 0.50 kg is transported to the surface of Planet X where the object’s weight is measured to be 20 N. The radius

Olin [163]

Answer:

$g'=40\ m.s^{-2}$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of the object, $m=0.5\ kg$

weight of the object on planet x, $W=20\ N$

radius of the planet, $R=4\times10^6\ m$

radial distance between the planet and the object, $r=2\times 10^6\ m$

<u>Now free fall acceleration on planet X:</u>

$W=m.g'$

$20=0.5\times g'$

$g'=40\ m.s^{-2}$ irrespective of the height.

Two particles are fixed on an x axis. Particle 1 of charge 44.9 μC is cated at х- 24.5 cm; particle 2 of charge Q is located at

Kryger [21]

The force that is being exerted on particle 3 by particle 1 is equal to:

$F_{13}=\frac{K*Q_1*Q_3}{r13^2}$

$r_{13} = \sqrt{(0.245m)^2 + (0.245m)^2}=0.3465m^2$

$F_{13}=\frac{9*10^9Nm^2/C^2*44.9*10^-6C*38.9*10^-6C}{0.3465m^2}=45.37N$

As both particles has positive charges, the particles will repel each other and the resultant force will have the direction of the vector $r_{13}$ . Therefore, $F_{13}$ will have x and y components equal to:

$F{13x}=F{13}*\frac{r13x}{|r13|}=45.37N*\frac{0.245m}{0.3465m}=32.08 N$

$F{13y}=F{13}*\frac{r13y}{|r13|}=45.37N*\frac{0.245m}{0.3465m}=32.08 N$

In order to calculate Force between particles 2 and 3, we first assume Q2 to be possitive (if it's negative the result will have a negative value, so this doesn't matter). We follow the same line of reasoning we used to calculate F13, just that Q2 will be unknown.

$F_{23}=\frac{K*Q_2*Q_3}{r13^2}$
