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

What is newton's third law of physics?
kobusy [5.1K]
Newton's third law is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object.

Photoelectrons with a maximum speed of 7.00 · 105 m/s are ejected from a surface in the presence of light with a frequency of 8.
lord [1]
This is just testing your ability to recall that kinetic energy is given by: 

<span>k.e. = ½mv² </span>

<span>where m is the mass and v is the velocity of the particle. </span>

<span>The frequency of the light is redundant information. </span>

<span>Here, you are given m = 9.1 * 10^-31 kg and v = 7.00 * 10^5 m/s. </span>
<span>Just plug in the values: </span>

<span>k.e. = ½ * 9.1 * 10^-31 * (7.00 * 10^5)² </span>
<span>k.e. = 2.23 * 10^-19 J 
so it will be d:2.2*10^-19 J</span>

A force on a particle depends on position such that F(x) = (3.00 N/m2)x2 + (6.00 N/m)x for a particle constrained to move along
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

The work done by a particle from x = 0 to x = 2 m is 20 J.

Explanation:

A force on a particle depends on position constrained to move along the x-axis, is given by,

F(x)=(3\ N/m^2)x^2+(6\ N/m)x

We need to find the work done on a particle that moves from x = 0.00 m to x = 2.00 m.

We know that the work done by a particle is given by the formula as follows :

W=\int\limits {F{\cdot} dx}

W=\int\limits^2_0 {(3x^2+6x){\cdot} dx} \\\\W={(x^3}+3x^2)_0^2\\\\\W={(2^3}+3(2)^2)\\\\W=20\ J

So, the work done by a particle from x = 0 to x = 2 m is 20 J. Hence, this is the required solution.

The earth and the moon exert forces on each other which forces is greater? explain
Helen [10]

Thank you for your question, what you say is true, the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the Moon has to be equal to the centripetal force.

An interesting application of this principle is that it allows you to determine a relation between the period of an orbit and its size. Let us assume for simplicity the Moon's orbit as circular (it is not, but this is a good approximation for our purposes).

The gravitational acceleration that the Moon experience due to the gravitational attraction from the Earth is given by:

ag=G(MEarth+MMoon)/r2

Where G is the gravitational constant, M stands for mass, and r is the radius of the orbit. The centripetal acceleration is given by:

acentr=(4 pi2 r)/T2

Where T is the period. Since the two accelerations have to be equal, we obtain:

(4 pi2 r) /T2=G(MEarth+MMoon)/r2

Which implies:

r3/T2=G(MEarth+MMoon)/4 pi2=const.

This is the so-called third Kepler law, that states that the cube of the radius of the orbit is proportional to the square of the period.

This has interesting applications. In the Solar System, for example, if you know the period and the radius of one planet orbit, by knowing another planet's period you can determine its orbit radius. I hope that this answers your question.
