Refer to the diagram shown below.

After 5 minutes (300 seconds):
The man travels north by (2 ft/s)*(300 s) = 600 ft
The woman, located at q, 500 east of p, begins walking south at 4 ft/s.
The distance separating them is
d₁ = √(600² + 500²) = 781.025 ft

After 20 minutes:
The man has traveled for 20 minutes (1200 s).
The woman has traveled for 15 minutes (900 s).
The man has moved (2 ft/s)*(1200 s) = 2400 ft north of p.
The woman has moved (4 ft/s)*(900 s) = 3600 ft south of q.
The distance separating them is
d₂ = √(6000² + 500²) = 6020.8 ft

The separation from d₁ to d₂ occurs in 15 minutes (900s).
Therefore the rate of separation is
Rate = (d₂ - d₁ ft)/(900 s) = (6020.8 - 781.025)/900 = 5.822 ft/s
or
Rate = (5.822 ft/s)*(60 s/min) = 349.32 ft/min

Answer: 349.32 ft/min (or 5.82 ft/s)

How much potential energy does a 50-N box have when lifted at a height of 1.5M?
nikitadnepr [17]

The correct answer is: Option (A) 75 J

Explanation:

First, be careful with the units here. As you can see it is mentioned that there is a 50N box. It means that the weight (<em>mg</em>) of the box is given as the unit is <em>Newton</em>, not its mass (which is in kg).

As,

Potential-energy = mass * acceleration-due-to-gravity * height

PE = m*g*h --- (A)


In equation (A), mg is actually the weight of the box, which is given.

mg = 50N

h = height = 1.5m

Plug the values in equation (A):

PE = 50 * 1.5  = <em>75 J (Option A)</em>

A spring with force constant of 59 N/m is compressed by 1.3 cm in a hockey game machine. The compressed spring is used to accele
Furkat [3]

Answer:

The puck moves a vertical height of 2.6 cm before stopping

Explanation:

As the puck is accelerated by the spring, the kinetic energy of the puck equals the elastic potential energy of the spring.

So, 1/2mv² = 1/2kx² where m = mass of puck = 39.2 g = 0.0392 g, v = velocity of puck, k = spring constant = 59 N/m and x = compression of spring = 1.3 cm = 0.013 cm.

Now, since the puck has an initial velocity, v before it slides up the inclined surface, its loss in kinetic energy equals its gain in potential energy before it stops. So

1/2mv² = mgh where h = vertical height puck moves and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².

Substituting the kinetic energy of the puck for the potential energy of the spring, we have

1/2kx² = mgh

h = kx²/2mg

= 59 N/m × (0.013 m)²/(0.0392 kg × 9.8 m/s²)

= 0.009971 Nm/0.38416 N

= 0.0259 m

= 2.59 cm

≅ 2.6 cm

So the puck moves a vertical height of 2.6 cm before stopping

David is investigating the properties of soil using the sample shown.
xenn [34]

Although the sample is not shown in this question, we can conclude that it would be reasonably easy for David to provide evidence of the color, consistency, temperature, and texture of the soil.

<h3 />

<h3>What are these properties an example of?</h3>

These are all examples of the physical properties of a sample. Since we cannot see the sample that David is using, it would be safest to assume that he would have no trouble providing evidence as to the physical properties of the soil, the:

  • Color
  • Consistency
  • Temperature
  • Texture

are all examples of this.

Therefore, we can confirm that David can provide evidence of the color, consistency, temperature, and texture of the soil.
