A dog is chasing a cat towards a tree. The cat has a 10-yard lead and runs at 6 yards per second. The dog runs at a speed of 8 y

ards per second. The tree is 30 yards away from the dog's starting position. Which animal will reach the tree first?

Answer : Cat will reach tree first.

Explanation :

It is given that,

Total distance between dog and tree is 30 yards. The cat has 10 yards lead. So, the distance between cat and tree is 20 yards.

Speed of cat  is 6 Yards/ sec.

Speed of dog is 8 Yards/sec.

speed of cat is, S_c=\dfrac{distance\ covered\ by\ cat}{time\ taken}

6\ Yards/sec=\dfrac{20\ Yards}{t_c}

t_c=3.33\ sec

Now, speed of dog is, S_d=\dfrac{distance\ covered\ by\ dog}{time\ taken}

8\ Yards/sec=\dfrac{30\ yards}{t_d \ sec}

t_d=3.75\ sec

It is clear that, cat is taking less time as compared with dog. So, the cat will reach tree first.

Two billiard balls move toward each other on a table. The mass of the number three ball, m1, is 5 g with a velocity of 3 m/s. Th
Stels [109]

This question deals with the law of conservation of momentum, which basically says that the total momentum in a system must stay the same, provided there are no outside forces. Since you were given the mass and velocity of the two objects you can find the momentum (p=mv) of each and then add them together to find the total momentum of the system before they collide. This total momentum must be the same after they collide.  Since you have the mass and velocity of one of the objects after the collision you can find the its momentum after.  Subtract this from the the system total and you will have the momentum of the other object after the collision.  Now that you know the momentum of the other object you can find its velocity using p=mv and its mass from before.

Be careful with the velocities.  They are vectors, so direction matters.  Typically moving to the right is positive (+) and moving to the left is negative (-).  It is not clear from your question which direction the objects are moving before and after the collision.

What do nuclear scientists call a stick of uranium?
nikitadnepr [17]
They call it "rod" or "fission rod". This is because the uranium is the element used for the nuclear fission, where the uranium nuclei disintegrate producing lighter nuclei and energy.

A student stays at her initial position for a bit of time, then walks slowly in a straight line for a while, then stops to rest
True [87]

Answer:

The first interval is walked slowly, this is a straight line with a small slope

Second interval stops, which gives a horizontal line, indicating the same position

Third interval, walk back, straight downhill

Explanation:

In this problem we have a uniform movement, this means that the acceleration in each intervals

              x = v t

 

The first interval is walked slowly, this is a straight line with a small slope

Second interval stops, which gives a horizontal line, indicating the same position

Third interval, walk back, straight downhill

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

5.724 meters / second^2

Explanation:

We are given two pieces of information, 5.24 flurg = 1 meter, 1 grom = 0.493 second. If that is so, we can say that there are two possible conversion units,  5.25 flurg / meter, and 0.493 second / grom.

_____

We want to convert 7.29 flurg / grom^2 ( I believe? ) to the units meters / second^2. But, let's break this down into bits. It would be convenient to first convert 7.29 flurg / grom^2 to the units meters / grom^2, by dividing the conversion factors as to cancel out the appropriate things, which we will go into detail on a bit later ( using the first conversion factor ). Respectively we can convert meters / grom^2 to meters / grom * s, canceling out the flurg ( through the second conversion factor ). And now we would need to get rid of the grom, dividing similarly.

_____

( 1 ) ( flurg / grom^2 ) / ( flurg / meters  ) - first conversion unit

= flurg / grom^2 * meters /flurg

= ( meters * flurg ) / ( grom^2 * flurg )  

= meters /grom^2,

7.29 flurg / grom^2 / 5.24 flurg / meter = ( About ) 1.39 meter / grom^2

( 2 ) ( meter / grom^2 ) / ( second / grom  ) - second conversion unit

= meter / grom^2 * grom / second

= ( meter * grom ) / ( grom^2 * second )

= meter / ( grom * second ),

( 1.39 meter / grom^2 ) / 0.493 second / grom = ( About ) 2.82195 meter /  grom * second

( 3 ) ( 2.82195 meter / ( grom * second ) ) / 0.493 second / grom = 5.724 meter / second^2

( And thus, the value of gOP7 in the units the architects will use should be about 5.724 meters / second^2 )
