Answer:

46.4 s

Explanation:

5 minutes = 60 * 5 = 300 seconds

Let g = 9.8 m/s2. And \theta be the slope of the road, s be the distance of the road, a be the acceleration generated by Rob, 3a/4 is the acceleration generated by Jim .  Both of their motions are subjected to parallel component of the gravitational acceleration gsin\theta

Rob equation of motion can be modeled as s = a_Rt_R^2/2 = a300^2/2 = 45000a[/tex]

Jim equation of motion is s = a_Jt_J^2/2 = (3a/4)t_J^2/2 = 3at_J^2/8

As both of them cover the same distance

45000a = 3at_J^2/8

t_J^2 = 45000*8/3 = 120000

t_J = \sqrt{120000} = 346.4 s

So Jim should start 346.4 – 300 = 46.4 seconds earlier than Rob in other to reach the end at the same time

The resultant motion is given by pithagoras, since the two components (north and east) are perpendicular to each other.
They are asking you about the direction so you have to use trigonometry, finding that the direction is Ф=arctan(3.8/12)=17.57° north of east.

A man pushes a drum of oil 10kg up an incline OA. If OA is 5m and AB is 3m, what is the potential energy of the drum at A.​
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

294 Joules

Explanation:

From the question;

  • Mass of the drum is 10 kg
  • The length of inclined surface, OA is 5 m
  • The final height of the drum on the plane AB is 3 m

We are required to determine the potential energy of the drum at A

We know that potential energy is given by the formula;

Potential energy = mgh

where m is the mass, g is the gravitational pull and h is the height

Taking g as 9.8 N/kg

Then;

Potential energy = 10 kg × 9.8 N/kg × 3 m

                            = 294 Joules

Thus, the potential energy of the drum at A is 294 Joules

A lens of focal length 15.0 cm is held 10.0 cm from a page (the object ). Find the magnification .
nevsk [136]

Answer:

Magnification, m = 3

Explanation:

It is given that,

Focal length of the lens, f = 15 cm

Object distance, u = -10 cm

Lens formula :

\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}

v is image distance

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}+\dfrac{1}{u}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{15}+\dfrac{1}{(-10)}\\\\v=-30\ cm

Magnification,

m=\dfrac{v}{u}\\\\m=\dfrac{-30}{10}\\\\m=3

So, the magnification of the lens is 3.

Oksana_A [137]
<h2>The K.E of the charge is 1.02 x 10⁻¹⁷ J</h2>

Explanation:

When the charge of 2e is placed in between the plates .

The force applied on this charge by plates is = q E

here q is the magnitude of charge = 2 e = 2 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

and E is the magnitude of electric field intensity

The work done = Force x displacement

Thus W = q E x S

here S is displacement

Therefore W = 2 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 4 x 8

= 1.02 x 10⁻¹⁷ J

This work will be converted into the kinetic energy of charge .

Thus K.E = 1.02 x 10⁻¹⁷ J

Two friends, barbara and neil, are out rollerblading. with respect to the ground, barbara is skating due south at a speed of 5.9
Semmy [17]
<span>As seen by Barbara, Neil is traveling at a velocity of 6.1 m/s at and angle of 76.7 degrees north from due west. Let's assume that both Barbara and Neil start out at coordinate (0,0) and skate for exactly 1 second. Where do they end up? Barbara is going due south at 5.9 m/s, so she's at (0,-5.9) Neil is going due west at 1.4 m/s, so he's at (-1.4,0) Now to see Neil's relative motion to Barbara, compute a translation that will place Barbara back at (0,0) and apply that same translation to Neil. Adding (0,5.9) to their coordinates will do this. So the translated coordinates for Neil is now (-1.4, 5.9) and Barbara is at (0,0). The magnitude of Neil's velocity as seen by Barbara is sqrt((-1.4)^2 + 5.9^2) = sqrt(1.96 + 34.81) = sqrt(36.77) = 6.1 m/s The angle of his vector relative to due west will be atan(5.9/1.4) = atan(4.214285714) = 76.7 degrees So as seen by Barbara, Neil is traveling at a velocity of 6.1 m/s at and angle of 76.7 degrees north from due west.</span>
