A tortoise and hare start from rest and have a race. As the race begins, both accelerate forward. The hare accelerates uniformly

at a rate of 0.8 m/s^2 for 4.3 seconds. It then continues at a constant speed for 12.9 seconds, before getting tired and slowing down with constant acceleration coming to rest 62.0 meters from where it started. The tortoise accelerates uniformly for the entire distance, finally catching the hare just as the hare comes to a stop.
1) How fast is the hare going 3.4 seconds after it starts?
2) How fast is the hare going 11.3 seconds after it starts?
3) How far does the hare travel before it begins to slow down?
4) What is the acceleration of the hare once it begins to slow down?
5) What is the total time the hare is moving?
6) What is the acceleration of the tortoise?

Answer:

Explanation:

To solve this, we start by using one of the equations of motion. The very first one, in fact

1

V = U + at.

V = 0 + 0.8 * 3.4 = 2.72 m/s.

2.

V = 0 + 0.8 * 4.3 = 3.44 m/s.

3.

d = ½ * 0.8 * 4.3² + 3.44 * 12.9

d = 7.396 + 44.376

d = 51.77 m.

4.

d = 62 - 51.77 = 10.23 m. = Distance

traveled during deceleration.

a = (V² - Vo²) / 2d.

a = (0² - 3.44²) / 20.46

a = -11.8336 / 20.46 = -0.58 m/s²

5.

t = (V - Vo)/a =(0 - 3.44) / -0.58

t = -3.44/-.58 = 5.93 s

= Stop time.

T = 4.3 + 12.9 + 5.93 = 23.13 s. = Total

time the hare was moving.

6.

d = Vo * t + ½ * a * t² = 62 m.

0 + 0.5 * (23.13)² * a = 61

267.5a = 61

a = 61/267.5

a = 0.23 m/s²

Which trailer has more downward pressure where it attaches to the car?
VARVARA [1.3K]

The one that is loaded worst. The overall weight is not important; tongue weight is a matter of loading. Our 12,000 lb snow cat trailer, which has stops to position the cat properly, has under 100 lbs tongue weight. Excessive tongue weight is a Bad Thing because it reduces weight on the towing vehicle's front wheels, leading to instability.

You and your family take a trip to see your aunt who lives 100 miles away along a straight highway. The first 60 miles of the tr
Nitella [24]

Answer:

51.2 mi/h

Explanation:

Total distance, d = 100 miles

First 60 miles with speed 55 mi/h

Next 40 miles with speed 75 mi/h

Time taken for first 60 miles, t1 = 60 / 55 = 1.09 h

Time taken for 40 miles, t2 = 40 / 75 = 0.533 h

Time spent to get stuck, t3 = 20 min = 0.33 h

Total time, t = t1 + t2 + t3 = 1.09 + 0.533 + 0.33 = 1.953 h

The average speed is defined as the ratio of total distance traveled to the total time taken.

Average speed = =\frac{100}{1.953}=51.2 mi/h

Thus, the average speed of the journey is 51.2 mi/h.

Stells [14]
The correct answer is <span>3) K_f =  \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 + mgh.
</span>
In fact, the total energy of the rock when it <span>leaves the thrower's hand is the sum of the gravitational potential energy U and of the initial kinetic energy K:
</span>E=U_i+K_i=mgh +  \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2
<span>As the rock falls down, its height h from the ground decreases, eventually reaching zero just before hitting the ground. This means that U, the potential energy just before hitting the ground, is zero, and the total final energy is just kinetic energy: 
</span>E=K_f<span>
But for the law of conservation of energy, the total final energy must be equal to the tinitial energy, so E is always the same. Therefore, the final kinetic energy must be

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

U = 1794.005 × 10⁶ J

Explanation:

Data provided;

Capacitance of the original capacitor, C = 1.27 F

Potential difference applied to the original capacitor, V = 59.9 kV

= 59.9 × 10³ V

Now,

The Potential energy (U) for the capacitor is calculated as:

Potential energy of the original capacitor, U = \frac{\textup{1}}{\textup{2}}  × C × V²

on substituting the respective values, we get

U = \frac{\textup{1}}{\textup{2}}  × 1.27 × ( 59.9 × 10³ )²

or

U = 1794.005 × 10⁶ J
