A wildebeest and chicken participate in a race over a 2.00km long course. the wildebeest travels at a speed of 16.0m/s and chick

en can do 2.50m/s. the wildebeest runs for 1.600km and then stops to tease the slow-moving chicken, which eventually passes by. the wildebeest waits for a while after the chicken passes and then run toward the finish line. both animal cross the finish line at the exact same instant. assume boat animals, when moving, move steadily at their respective speed.
(a) how far (in m) is the chicken from the Finish Line when the wildebeest resume the race?
(b) for how long in time (in s) was the wildebeest stationary?

Answer:

(a) The distance of the chicken from the finish line is 62.5 m

(b) The stationary time of the wildebeest is 675 s

Explanation:

Given;

total distance traveled by wildebeest and chicken, d = 2 km = 2000 m

speed of the wildebeest, $v_w$ = 16 m/s

speed of the chicken, $v_c$ = 2.5 m/s

Time for wildebeest to finish the race without stopping, 2000 / 16 = 125 s

Time for chicken to finish the race without stopping, 2000/2.5 = 800 s

(b) for how long in time (in s) was the wildebeest stationary?

t(stationary) = t(chicken) - t(wildebeest)

t = 800s - 125 s

t = 675 s

(a) how far (in m) is the chicken from the Finish Line when the wildebeest resume the race?

The time taken for the wildebeest to run 1.6 km (1600 m) is given by;

t = 1600 / 16 = 100 s

The total time spent by the wildebeest before it resumed the race = stationary time + 100s

t (total) = 675 s + 100 s = 775 s

Distnace traveled by the chicken when the wildebeest resumed the race = 2.5m/s x 775s = 1937.5 m

Thus, the distance of the chicken from the finish line = 2000 m - 1937.5 m

the distance of the chicken from the finish line = 62.5 m

What is the total flux φ that now passes through the cylindrical surface? enter a positive number if the net flux leaves the cyl

trasher [3.6K]

Net flux through the cylindrical surface is given as

$\phi = \frac{q}{epsilon_0}$

here q = enclosed charge in the surface

so here in order to find the value of q

$q = \lambda* L$

so now we have

$\phi = \frac{\lambda * L}{\epsilon_0}$

so this is the total flux

now by Gauss's law we can find the electric field

$\int E.dA = \phi$

$\int E.dA = \frac{\lambda * L}{\epsilon_0}$

$E* 2\pi rL = \frac{\lambda * L}{epsilon_0}$

$E = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}$

<em>by above expression we can find the electric field at required position</em>

Hanging by a thread. Two metal spheres hang from nylon threads and attract each other when brought close together. (i) What can

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

i)Two spheres hanging from nylon threads attract each other because either the two spheres are charged with opposite sign or only one of the spheres is charge so the other would be charge by induction of the charged sphere and hence attract each other.

ii)However, when they are touched the charges will be rearranged among the two sphere such that the two sphere have exact same magnitude and sign of charge and now they will repel each other or the magnitude of charges on the two spheres become zero and they neither attract or repel each other.

The grooved pulley of mass m is acted on by a constant force F through a cable which is wrapped securely around the exterior of

Sidana [21]

Answer:

Answer; v= 1.2654m/s

T= 110.76N

Explanation:

Apply Momentum Principle

Fdtro - Mgridt = Iow +Mvr

Fdtro - Mgridt = mK2 v/r1 + Mvr1

85 x 3x 0.345 -11 x 9.81 x 0.23 x 3 =30 x 0.25 x 0.25 x v/0.23 + 11 x v x 0.23 =

v = 1.2654m/s

To find the timed average value

Tdt -Mgdt =MV

T x 3 - 11 x 9.81 x 3 = 11 x 0.778

T= 110.76N

550 J of work must be done to compress a gas to half its initial volume at constant temperature. How much work must be done to c

Over [174]

Answer:

The amount of work that must be done to compress the gas 11 times less than its initial pressure is 909.091 J

Explanation:

The given variables are

Work done = 550 J

Volume change = V₂ - V₁ = -0.5V₁

Thus the product of pressure and volume change = work done by gas, thus

P × -0.5V₁ = 500 J

Hence -PV₁ = 1000 J

also P₁/V₁ = P₂/V₂ but V₂ = 0.5V₁ Therefore P₁/V₁ = P₂/0.5V₁ or P₁ = 2P₂

Also to compress the gas by a factor of 11 we have

P (V₂ - V₁) = P×(V₁/11 -V₁) = P(11V₁ - V₁)/11 = P×-10V₁/11 = -PV₁×10/11 = 1000 J ×10/11 = 909.091 J of work

Julius competes in the hammer throw event. the hammer has a mass of 7.26 kg and is 1.215 m long. what is the centripetal force o

TEA [102]

Centripetal force <span>a force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed toward the center around which the body is moving. It is calculated by the expression:

F = mv^2/r

where m is the mass, v is the velocity and r is the radius.

F = 7.26(31.95)^2 / (1.215) = 6100 N</span>
