A man's higher initial acceleration means that a man can outrun a horse over a very short race. A simple - but plausible - model for a sprint by a man and a horse uses the following assumptions: The man accelerates at 6.0 m/s2for 1.8 s and then runs at a constant speed. A horse accelerates at a more modest 5.0 m/s2 but continues accelerating for 4.8 s and then continues at a constant speed. A man and a horse are competing in a 200 m race. The man is given a 100 m head start, so he begins 100 mfrom the finish line.

How much time does it take the man to finish the race? The horse? Who wins?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

 t_man = 10.16 s,   t_horse = 10.73 s,  the winner is the man

Explanation:

To solve this problem we are going to find the time of each one separately.

Man we look for distance and time during acceleration

         x₁ =  v₀ t₁ + ½ a₁ t₁²

as it comes out of rest its initial velocity is zero

        x₁ = ½ a₁ t₁²

        x₁ = ½ 6.0 1.8²

        x₁ = 9.72 m

at this point its speed is

        v₁ = v₀ + a t

        v₁ = 0 + 6  1.8

        v₁ = 10.8 m / s

From here on it continues at constant speed, the distance that the man needs to travel from the point where the man leaves at 100m is

        x₂ = 100 - x₁

        x₂ = 100- 9.72

        x₂ = 90.28 m

the time for this part is

        v₁ = x₂ / t₂

         t₂ = x₂ / v₂

         t₂ = 90.28 / 10.8

         t₂ = 8.36 s

the total time for the man is

        t_man = t₁ + t₂

        t _man = 1.8 + 8.36

        t_man = 10.16 s

We repeat the calculation for the horse

distance traveled during the acceleration period

         x₃ = v₀ t + ½ a₂ t₃²

as part of rest its initial velocity is zero

        x₃ = ½  a₂ t₃²

        x₃ = ½  5.0  4.8²

        x₃ = 57.6 m

the velocity at this point is

         v₃ = v₀ + a₂ t₃

         v₃ = 0 + 5  4.8

         v₃ = 24 m / s

the rest of the route is at constant speed, the remaining distance

         x₄ = 200 - x₃

         x₄ = 200 - 57.6

         x₄ = 142.4 m

the time to go through it is

         t₄ = x₄ / v₃

         t₄ = 142.4 / 24

         t₄ = 5.93 s

the total time for the horse is

         t_horse = t₃ + t₄

         t_horse = 4.8 + 5.93

         t_horse = 10.73 s

when we compare the times we see that the man arrives a little before the horse, the winner is the man

6. Sandy adds 3 sugar packets to her tea in order to make it sweeter. She stirs in the sugar and then takes a sip. She notices that not all the sugar was dissolved. What type of solution did she make?

A. Saturated B.Unsaturated C.Supersaturated D.Mildly saturated

Answers

Answer:

C.Supersaturated

Explanation:

There are three types of solution:

SATURATED SOLUTION:

It is the solution that contains maximum amount of solute dissolved in a solution in normal conditions.  

UNSATURATED SOLUTION:

It is the solution that contains less than the maximum amount of solute dissolved in a solution in normal conditions. It has space for more solute to be dissolved in it.

SUPERSATURATED SOLUTION:

It contains more than the maximum amount of solute dissolved in it. Such a solution has no capacity to dissolve any more solute under any conditions.

Since the sugar is no more dissolving in the tea and has settled down. Therefore, the solution is:

C.Supersaturated

1. A +4 nC charge is placed at a distance r from another charge. If the charge experiences a force of 6000 N, what is the electric field intensity E ?

Answers

Answer:

1500 N/C

Explanation:

From the question,

Applying,

E =  F/q.................. Equation 1

Where E = Electric Field intensity, F = Force experienced by the charge, q = Charge

Given: F = 6000 N, q = +4nC

Substitute these value into equation 1

E = 600/4

E = 6000/4

E = 1500 N/C

Hence, the electric field intensity is 1500 N/C.

A boy who is riding his bicycle, moves with an initial velocity of 5 m/s. ten second later, he is moving at 15 m/s. what is his acceleration

Answers

Answer:

1 m/s²

Explanation:

From the question,

Using

a = (v-u)/t.................... Equation 1

Where a = accelartion of the bicycle, v = Final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.

Given: v = 15 m/s, u = 5 m/s, t = 10 s

Substitute these values into equation 1

a = (15-5)/10

a = 10/10

a = 1 m/s²

Hence the acceleration of the bicycle is 1 m/s²

If spring has a spring constant of 500 N/m and is stretched .50 meters,how much energy is stored in the spring ((show work for full credit, show equation))

PLEASE HELP! A 0.423 kg object carries a +11.5 uc
charge. It is 0.925 m from a -7.55 C
charge. What is the magnitude of the
object's acceleration?
(u stands for micro. Remember, magnitudes
are positive.)
[?] m/s2

Answers

Answer:

2.15 m/s²

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the force of attraction between two charges. This can be obtained as follow:

Charge of 1st object (q₁) = +11.5 μC = +11.5×10¯⁶ C

Charge of 2nd object (q₂) = –7.55 μC = –7.55×10¯⁶ C

Electrical constant (K) = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Distance apart (r) = 0.925 m

Force (F) =?

F = Kq₁q₂ / r²

F = 9×10⁹ × 11.5×10¯⁶ × 7.55×10¯⁶/ 0.925²

F = 0.781425 / 0.855625

F = 0.91 N

Finally, we shall determine the acceleration of the object. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of object (m) = 0.423 Kg

Force (F) = 0.91 N

Acceleration (a) =?

F = ma

0.91 = 0.423 × a

Divide both side by 0.423

a = 0.91 / 0.423

a = 2.15 m/s²

Thus, the magnitude of the object's acceleration is 2.15 m/s²
