It’s a sunny Saturday afternoon and you are walking around the lake by your house, enjoying the last few days of summer. The sid

ewalk surrounding the perimeter of the circular lake is crowded with walkers and runners. You then notice a runner approaching you wearing a T-shirt with writing on it. You read the first two lines, but are unable to read the third line before he passes. You wonder, ”Hmmm, if he continues around the lake, I bet I’ll see him again but I should anticipate the time when we’ll pass again.”
You look at your watch and it is 5:07pm. You estimate your walking speed at 3 m/s and the runner’s speed to be about 14 m/s. You also estimate that the diameter of the lake is about 2
miles. At what time should you expect to read the last line of the t-shirt?

The anticipated time when he will appear again is 5:17 pm

The given parameters;

your speed, V_a = 3 m/s

the runner's speed, V_b = 14 m/s

the diameter of the lake, d = 2 miles = 3218.69 meters

  • Let the anticipated time when he will appear again = t

The circumference of the lake is calculated as;

C = \pi d\\\\C = 3.142 \times 3218.69 = 10,113.12 \ m

Apply concept of relative velocity to determine the time, in which he will appear again.

By the time he appears again;

the distance you moved + distance he moved = circumference of the circle

V_at + V_bt = 10, 113.12\\\\(V_a + V_b)t = 10,113.12\\\\(3 + 14) t = 10,113.12\\\\17t = 10,113.12\\\\t = \frac{10,113.12}{17} \\\\t = 594.89 \ s = 9.92 \ \min \ \approx 10 \ \min

t\  \approx \ \ 5:17 \ pm

Thus, the anticipated time when he will appear again is 5:17 pm

Suppose an object’s initial velocity is 10 m/s and its final velocity is 4 m/s. Mass is constant.
Ostrovityanka [42]

The correct answer is:

Work is negative, the environment did work on the object, and the energy of the system decreases.

In fact, the work-energy theorem states that the work done by the system is equal to its variation of kinetic energy:

W=\Delta K=K_f -K_i

In this problem, the variation of kinetic energy \Delta K is negative (because the final velocity is less than the initial velocity), so the work is negative, and this means that the environment did work on the object, and its energy decreased.

(b) The distance of mass from mass A if there is no gravitational force acted on C
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

(a) The force, acting on object 'C' is approximately 2.66972 × 10⁻¹⁰ Newtons

(b) The distance of 'C' from 'A', in the direction particle 'B' if there is no  meters gravitational force acting on 'C' is appromimately 0.829 meters or 1.877 meters

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of particle, A, m₁ = 2 kg

The mass of particle, B, m₂ = 0.3 kg

The mass of particle, C, m₃ = 0.05 kg

The distance between particle 'A' and particle 'B', r₁ = 0.15 m

The distance between particle 'B' and particle 'C', r₂ = 0.05 m

(a) The gravitational force, 'F', is given as follows;

F =G \times \dfrac{m_{1} \times m_{2}}{r^{2}}

Where;

F = The force between the two masses

G = The gravitation constant = 6.67430 × 10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg²

m₁ = The mass of object 1

m₂ = The mass of object 2

If 'C' is placed at 0.05 m from 'B', we have;

F₂₃ =  6.67430 × 10⁻¹¹ × 0.05 × 0.3/(0.05²) ≈ 4.00458 × 10⁻¹⁰

The gravitational force between force between particle 'B' and particle 'C', F₂₃ = 4.00458 × 10⁻¹⁰ N (towards the right)

F₁₃ =  6.67430 × 10⁻¹¹ × 0.05 × 2/(0.1²) ≈ × 10⁻¹⁰

The gravitational force between force between particle 'A' and particle 'B', F₁₃ = 6.6743 × 10⁻¹⁰ N (towards the left)

The force, 'F', acting on object 'C' = F₁₃ - F₂₃

F = (6.6743 - 4.00458) × 10⁻¹⁰ = 2.66972 × 10⁻¹⁰ N

The force, acting on object 'C' ≈ 2.66972 × 10⁻¹⁰ N

(b), When there is no gravitational force acting on 'C', let the distance of 'C' from 'A' = x

We have;

F₂₃ = F₁₂

F_{23} =G \times \dfrac{m_{1} \times m_{2}}{r_1^{2}} = F_{13} =G \times \dfrac{m_{1} \times m_{3}}{r_2^{2}}

By plugging in the values and removing like terms, we get;

\dfrac{0.3 \times 0.05}{(1.15 - x)^{2}}  = \dfrac{2 \times 0.05}{x^2}

(1.15 - x)² × 2 × 0.05 = 0.3 × 0.05 × x²

0.1·x² - 0.23·x + 1.3225 = 0.015·x²

0.1·x² - 0.23·x + 1.3225 - 0.015·x² = 0

0.085·x² - 0.23·x + 0.13225= 0

x = (0.23± √((-0.23)² - 4 × 0.085 × ( 0.13225)))/(2 × 0.085))

x ≈ 0.829, or x ≈ 1.877

Therefore, the distance of 'C' from 'A', if there is no gravitational force acting on 'C', x ≈ 0.829 m, or x = 1.877 m, in the direction of 'B'
