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

A 0.50 kilogram ball is held at a height of 20 meters. What is the kinetic energy of the ball when it reaches halfway after bein

Margarita [4]

Potential energy at any point is (M G H). On the way down, only H changes. So halfway down, half of the potential energy remains, and the other half has turned to kinetic energy. Half of the (M G H) it had at the tpp is (0.5 x 9.8 x 10) = 49 joules.

Rotational dynamics about a fixed axis: A person pushes on a small doorknob with a force of 5.00 N perpendicular to the surface

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

I = 2 kgm^2

Explanation:

In order to calculate the moment of inertia of the door, about the hinges, you use the following formula:

$\tau=I\alpha$ (1)

I: moment of inertia of the door

α: angular acceleration of the door = 2.00 rad/s^2

τ: torque exerted on the door

You can calculate the torque by using the information about the Force exerted on the door, and the distance to the hinges. You use the following formula:

$\tau=Fd$ (2)

F: force = 5.00 N

d: distance to the hinges = 0.800 m

You replace the equation (2) into the equation (1), and you solve for α:

$Fd=I\alpha\\\\I=\frac{Fd}{\alpha}$

Finally, you replace the values of all parameters in the previous equation for I:

$I=\frac{(5.00N)(0.800m)}{2.00rad/s^2}=2kgm^2$

The moment of inertia of the door around the hinges is 2 kgm^2

A pet-store supply truck moves at 25.0 m/s north along a highway. inside, a dog moves at 1.75 m/s at an angle of 35.0Â° east of

koban [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

Velocity of the dog relative to the road = 26.04 m/s 3.15⁰ north of east.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Let the east point towards positive X-axis and north point towards positive Y-axis.

Speed of truck = 25 m/s north = 25 j m/s

Speed of dog = 1.75 m/s at an angle of 35.0° east of north = (1.75 cos 35 i + 1.75 sin 35 j)m/s

= (1.43 i + 1.00 j) m/s

Velocity of the dog relative to the road = 25 j + 1.43 i + 1.00 j = 1.43 i + 26.00 j

Magnitude of velocity = 26.04 m/s

Angle from positive horizontal axis = 86.85⁰

So Velocity of the dog relative to the road = 26.04 m/s 86.85⁰ east of north = 26.04 m/s 3.15⁰ north of east.

Sandra takes a class field trip to a geology museum. She sees an interesting sample of igneous rock. She wonders if the material

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

It is possible for sedimentary rocks to be converted to igneous rocks. Under conditions of high temperature and pressure, sedimentary rocks can be broken down into igneous rock by melting this rock type.

When the rock is broken down, it forms melt which when cooled and solidifies will form igneous rocks.

Sedimentary rocks are formed from the breaking down of pre-existing rocks through the action of weathering, erosion and sediment transportation. Within a basin, the sediments are compacted and lithified.

When this is subjected to intense pressure and temperature, the rock hardens and might further break down to melt.
