A cat is sleeping on the floor in the middle of a 3.0-m-wide room when a barking dog enters with a speed of 1.50 m/s. as the dog

enters, the cat (as only cats can do) immediately accelerates at 0.85 m/s 2 toward an open window on the opposite side of the room. the dog (all bark and no bite) is a bit startled by the cat and begins to slow down at 0.10 m/s 2 as soon as it enters the room. does the dog catch the cat before the cat is able to leap through the window?

Good morning.


Lets make the movement function for the dog and cat.

The cat has a start position of1.5 m(the middle of the room), with an initial speed of 0 and acceleration of 0.85 m/s².

The dog has a start position of 0, an initial speed of 1.5 m/s and acceleration of -0.1 m/s².


<u>Cat:</u>

\mathsf{X = X_0+V_0t + \dfrac{at^2}{2}}\\ \\ \mathsf{X = 1.5 + \dfrac{0.85t^2}{2}}\\ \\ \\ \mathsf{X_c = 1.5 + 0.425t^2}

<u>Dog:</u>

\mathsf{X_d= 1.5t - 0.05t^2}


Let's see if the dog reach the cat. Physically, it means \mathsf{X_d = X_c}

\mathsf{1.5t - 0.05t^2 = 1.5 + 0.425t^2}\\ \\ \mathsf{0.425t^2 + 0.05t^2 - 1.5t + 1.5 = 0}\\ \\ \mathsf{0.475t^2 - 1.5t + 1.5=0}

Now we solve for <em>t</em>:

\mathsf{\Delta = (-1.5)^2 - 4\cdot0.475\cdot1.5}\\ \\ \mathsf{\Delta = 2.25-2.85=-0.6 \ \textless \  0}

We have a negative Delta. Therefore, there is no instant t when the dog reaches the cat.

A point charge q1 = 4.50 nC is located on the x-axis at x = 1.95 m , and a second point charge q2 = -6.80 nC is on the y-axis at
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Explanation:

One charge is situated at x = 1.95 m . Second charge is situated at y = 1.00 m

These two charges are situated outside sphere as it has radius of .365 m with center at origin. So charge inside sphere = zero.

Applying Gauss's theorem

Flux through spherical surface = charge inside sphere / ε₀

= 0 / ε₀

= 0 Ans .

A moving sidewalk 95 m in length carries passengers at a speed of 0.53 m/s. One passenger has a normal walking speed of 1.24 m/s
Archy [21]

Answer:

a) t = 1.8 x 10² s

b) t = 54 s

c) t = 49 s

Explanation:

a) The equation for the position of an object moving in a straight line at constan speed is:

x = x0 + v * t

where

x = position at time t

x0 = initial position

v = velocity

t = time

In this case, the origin of our reference system is at the begining of the sidewalk.

a) To calculate the time the passenger travels on the sidewalk without wlaking, we can use the equation for the position, using as speed the speed of the sidewalk:

x = x0 + v * t

95 m = 0m + 0. 53 m/s * t

t = 95 m/ 0.53 m/s

t = 1.8 x 10² s

b) Now, the speed of the passenger will be her walking speed plus the speed of th sidewalk (0.53 m/s + 1.24 m/s = 1.77 m/s)

t = 95 m/ 1.77 m/s = 54 s

c) In this case, the passenger is located 95 m from the begining of the sidewalk, then, x0 = 95 m and the final position will be x = 0. She walks in an opposite direction to the movement of the sidewalk, towards the origin of the system of reference ( the begining of the sidewalk). Then, her speed will be negative ( v = 0.53 m/s - 2*(1.24 m/s) = -1.95 m/s. Then:

0 m = 95 m -1.95 m/s * t

t = -95 m / -1.95 m/s = 49 s

A 5.00-g bullet is shot through a 1.00-kg wood block suspended on a string 2.00 m long. The center of mass of the block rises a
o-na [289]

Answer:395.6 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of bullet m=5 gm

mass of wood block M=1 kg

Length of string L=2 m

Center of mass rises to an height of 0.38 cm

initial velocity of bullet u=450 m/s

let v_1 and v_2 be the velocity of bullet and block after collision

Conserving momentum

mu=mv_1+Mv_2 -------------1

Now after the collision block rises to an height of 0.38 cm

Conserving Energy for block

kinetic energy of block at bottom=Gain in Potential Energy

\frac{Mv_2^2}{2}=Mgh_{cm}

v_2=\sqrt{2gh_{cm}}

v_2=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 0.38}

v_2=0.272 m/s

substitute the value of v_2 in equation 1

5\times 450=5\times v_1+1000\times 0.272

v_1=395.6 m/s

A gaseous system undergoes a change in temperature and volume. What is the entropy change for a particle in this system if the f
jonny [76]

Answer:

<em>Entropy Change = 0.559 Times</em>

Explanation:

Entropy change is determined by the change in the micro-states of a system. As we know that the micro-states are the same as measure of disorderness between initial and final states, that's the the amount of change in micro-states determine how much of entropy has changed in the system.
