Willie, in a 100.0 m race, initially accelerates uniformly from rest at 2.00 m/s2 until reaching his top speed of 12.0 m/s. He m

aintained this speed until he is 16.0 m from the finish line but then fades and decelerates uniformly, crossing the line with a speed of only 8.00 m/s. What is Willie’s total time for the race? Please show your steps :)

Answer:

The total time for the race is 11.6 seconds

Explanation:

The parameters given are;

Total distance ran by Willie = 100.0 m

Initial acceleration = 2.00m/s²

Top speed reached with initial acceleration = 12.0 m/s

Point where Willie start to fade and decelerate = 16.0 m from the finish line

Speed with which Willie crosses the finish line = 8.00 m/s

The time and distance covered with the initial acceleration are found using the following equations of motion;

v = u₀ + a·t

v² = u₀² + 2·a·s

Where:

v = Final velocity reached with the initial acceleration = 12.0 m/s

u₀ = Initial velocity at the start of the race = 0 m/s

t = Time during acceleration

a = Initial acceleration = 2.00 m/s²

s = Distance covered during the period of initial acceleration

From, v = u₀ + a·t, we have;

12 = 0 + 2×t

t = 12/2 = 6 seconds

From, v² = u₀² + 2·a·s, we have;

12² = 0² + 2×2×s

144 = 4×s

s = 144/4 =36 meters

Given that the Willie maintained the top speed of 12.0 m/s until he was 16.0 m from the finish line, we have;

Distance covered at top speed = 100 - 36 - 16 = 48 meters

Time, t_t of running at top speed = Distance/velocity = 48/12 = 4 seconds

The deceleration from top speed to crossing the line is found as follows;

v₁² = u₁² + 2·a₁·s₁

Where:

u₁ = v = 12 m/s

v₁ = The speed with which Willie crosses the line = 8.00 m/s

s₁ = Distance covered during decelerating = 16.0 m

a₁ = Deceleration

From which we have;

8² = 12² + 2 × a × 16

64 = 144 + 32·a

64 - 144 = 32·a

32·a = -80

a = -80/32 = -2.5 m/s²

From, v₁ = u₁ + a₁·t₁

Where:

t₁ = Time of deceleration

We have;

8 = 12 + (-2.5)·t₁

t₁ = (8 - 12)/(-2.5) = 1.6 seconds

The total time = t + t_t + t₁ =6 + 4 + 1.6 = 11.6 seconds.

mart [117]

Answer:

Depth of well = 52.92 m

Explanation:

Consider the equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

Take upward direction as positive,

            Initial velocity, u =   8 m/s

            Acceleration, a =   -9.81 m/s²

            Time, t = 4.20 s

Substituting

         s = ut + 0.5 at²

         s = 8 x 4.20 + 0.5 (-9.81) x 4.20²

         s = -52.92 m

So stone travels 52.92 m below the initial position.

Depth of well = 52.92 m

A 10. g cube of copper at a temperature T1 is placed in an insulated cup containing 10. g of water at a temperature T2. If T1 &g
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

a. The temperature of the copper changed more than the temperature of the water.

Explanation:

Because we're only considering the isolated system cube-water, the heat of the system should be constant, that implies the heat the cube loses is equal the heat the water gains (because by zero law of thermodynamics heat (Q) flows from hot body to cold body until reach thermal equilibrium and T1>T2). So:

Q_{cube}=Q_{water} (1)

But Q is related with mass (m), specific heat (c) and changes in temperature (\varDelta T)in the next way:

Q=cm\varDelta T(2)

Using (2) on (1):

c_{cooper}*m_{cooper}*\varDelta T_{cooper}=c_{water}*m_{waterer}*\varDelta T_{water}

(10g)(0.385 \frac{J}{g\,C})(\varDelta T_{cooper})=(10g)(4.186 \frac{J}{g\,C})(\varDelta T_{water})

(0.385 \frac{J}{g\,C})(\varDelta T_{cooper})=(4.186 \frac{J}{g\,C})(\varDelta T_{water})

Because we have an equality and 0.385 < 4.186 then \varDelta T_{cooper}>\varDelta T_{waterer} to conserve the equality

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Given that:

mass (m) = 86 kg, distance (L) = 2.75 m, θ = 31°, force (F) = 595 N, initial velocity (v_i) = 2.4 m/s, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

The net work can be gotten from the equation:

W_{net}=Fcos(\theta)L-mgsin(\theta)L\\\\W_{net}=595*cos(31)*2.75-[86*9.81*sin(31)*2.75)\\\\W_{net}=1402.54-1194.92\\\\W_{net}=207.62

From the work-energy theorem equation, we can get her speed at the top of the ramp (v_f)

Hence:

W_{net}=change\ in\ kinetic\ energy\\\\W_{net}=\frac{1}{2}m(v_f^2-v_i^2 )\\\\2W_{net}=m(v_f^2-v_i^2 )\\\\v_i=\sqrt{ v_i^2+\frac{2W_{net}}{m}} \\\\v_f=\sqrt{ 2.4^2+\frac{2*207.62}{86}}}\\\\v_f=3.25\ m/s
