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.

inn [45]

Since it travels at 21,000 kilometers per hour, you'd just multiply that with 3.5 to get 73,500. So your answer is 73,500.

A point charge of 6.8 C moves at 6.5 × 104 m/s at an angle of 15° to a magnetic field that has a field strength of 1.4 T.

Gekata [30.6K]

As per the question, the point charge is given as [q] = 6.8 C

The velocity of the charged particle [v] = $6.5*10^{4}\ m/s$

The magnetic field [B] = 1.4 T

The angle made between magnetic field and velocity $[\theta]$ = 15 degree.

We are asked to calculate the magnetic force experienced by the charged particle.

The magnetic force experienced by the charged particle is calculated as -

Magnetic force $\vec F=q(\ \vec V \times \vec B)$

i.e F = $=qVBsin\theta$

$=6.8*6.5*10^{4}*1.4*sin15$

$=61.88*10^{4}sin15$

$=61.88*10^4*0.2588\ N$

$=16.016*10^4\ N$

$=1.6*10^5\ N$

Hence, the force experienced by the charged particle is C i.e $1.6*10^5 N$

Answer:

72 J

Explanation:

Total kinetic energy will be tge sum of rotational and translational energy.

Rotational kinetic energy is given by $0.5I\omega^{2}$ where I is moment of inertia which is given by $mr^{2}$ and here m is mass, r is radius. Also, $v=\omega r$ hence making \omega the subject then $\omega=\frac {v}{r}$ where v is the velocity.

Rotational kinetic energy= $0.5I\omega^{2}=0.5mr^{2}\times(\frac {v}{r})^{2}= 0.5mv^{2}$

This is same as the formula for translational kinetic energy which is given by $0.5mv^{2}$

Therefore, total kinetic energy= $0.5mv^{2}+0.5mv^{2}=mv^{2}$

Substituting m with 2 kg and v with 6 m/s then total energy will be $2\times 6^{2}=72 J$
