You are sitting in your car at rest at a traffic light with a bicyclist at rest next to you in the adjoining bicycle lane. As so

on as the traffic light turns green, your car speeds up from rest to 47.0 mi/h with constant acceleration 8.00 mi/h/s and thereafter moves with a constant speed of 47.0 mi/h. At the same time, the cyclist speeds up from rest to 23.0 mi/h with constant acceleration 12.00 mi/h/s and thereafter moves with a constant speed of 23.0 mi/h (a) For what time interval (in s) after the light turned green is the bicycle ahead of your car?
(b) What is the maximum distance (in ft) by which the bicycle leads your car during this time interval?

Answer:

Explanation:

Time duration during which acceleration exists in  bicycle =

23 / 12 = 1.91 s

Time duration during which acceleration exists in car

= 47 / 8 = 5.875 s

Distance covered by bicycle during acceleration ( t = 1.91 s )

= 1/2 x 12 x (1.91)²

= 21.88 mi

Distance covered by car during this time ( t = 1.91 s )

= 1/2 x 8 x (1.91)²

7.64 mi ,

velocity of car after 1.91 s

= 8 x 1.91 = 15.28 mi/h

Let after time 1.91 , time taken by them to meet each other be t

Total distance covered by cycle = total distance covered by car

21.88 + 23 t = 7.64 + 15.28t + 4 t²

21.88 = 7.64 - 7.72t +4 t²

4 t² -7.72 t -14.24 = 0

t = 2.83 s

Total time taken

= 2.83 + 1.91

= 4.74 s

So after 4.74 s they will meet each other.

b ) Maximum distance occurs when velocity of both of them becomes equal .

Velocity after 1.91 s of bicycle

12 x 1.91 = 23 mi/h

Velocity after 1.91 s of car

8 x 1.91 = 15.28 mi/h . Let after time t , the velocity of car becomes 23

15.28 + 8t = 23

t = .965 s

So after time .965 s , car has velocity equal to that of bicycle.

The bicycle will travel a distance of

= 21.88 + .965 x 23 = 44.075 mi

car will travel a distance of

7.64 + 15.28 x .965 + .5 x 8 x .965²

= 7.64 + 14.75 + 3.72

= 26.11 mi

Distance between car and bicycle

= 44.075 - 26.11 = 17.965 mi

= 17.965 x 1760

= 31618.4 ft.

A distance of 2.00 mm separates two objects of equal mass. If the gravitational force between them is 0.0104 N, find the mass of
aleksklad [387]

Given the distance r = 2/1000 m, the force between them F = 0.0104 N, the mass of the two object can be calculated using formula:

F = G(m1m2)/r^2 since the mass are equal F = G (m^2)/r^2

And where G = is the gravitational constant (6.67E-11 m3 s-2 kg-1)

The mass of the two objects are 24.96 kg

A circular coil 17.0 cm in diameter and containing nine loops lies flat on the ground. The Earth's magnetic field at this locati
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The torque in the coil is  4.9 × 10⁻⁵ N.m  

Explanation:

T = NIABsinθ

Where;

T is the  torque on the coil

N is the number of loops = 9

I is the current = 7.8 A

A is the area of the circular coil = ?

B is the Earth's magnetic field = 5.5 × 10⁻⁵ T

θ is the angle of inclination = 90 - 56 = 34°

Area of the circular coil is calculated as follows;

A = \frac{\pi d^2}{4} \\\\A = \frac{\pi 0.17^2}{4} =0.0227 m^2

T = 9 × 7.8 × 0.0227 × 5.5×10⁻⁵ × sin34°

T = 4.9 × 10⁻⁵ N.m

Therefore, the torque in the coil is  4.9 × 10⁻⁵ N.m

A block rests on a flat plate that executes vertical simple harmonic motion with a period of 0.74 s. What is the maximum amplitu
Mumz [18]

Answer:

maximum amplitude  = 0.13 m

Explanation:

Given that

Time period T= 0.74 s

acceleration of gravity g= 10 m/s²

We know that time period of simple harmonic motion given as

T=\dfrac{2\pi}{\omega}

0.74=\dfrac{2\pi}{\omega}

ω = 8.48 rad/s

ω=angular frequency

Lets take amplitude = A

The maximum acceleration given as

a= ω² A

The maximum acceleration should be equal to g ,then block does not separate

a= ω² A

10= 8.48² A

A=0.13 m

maximum amplitude  = 0.13 m

A block of mass 3m is placed on a frictionless horizontal surface, and a second block of mass m is placed on top of the first bl
tatuchka [14]

By Newton's second law, assuming <em>F</em> is horizontal,

• the net <u>horizontal</u> force on the <u>larger</u> block is

<em>F</em> - <em>µmg</em> = 3<em>mA</em>

where <em>µmg</em> is the magnitude of friction felt by the larger block due to rubbing with the smaller one, <em>µ</em> is the coefficient of static friction between the two blocks, and <em>A</em> is the block's acceleration;

• the net <u>vertical</u> force on the <u>larger</u> block is

4<em>mg</em> - 3<em>mg</em> - <em>mg</em> = 0

where 4<em>mg</em> is the mag. of the normal force of the surface pushing up on the combined mass of the two blocks, 3<em>mg</em> is the weight of the larger block, and <em>mg</em> is the weight of the smaller block;

• the net <u>horizontal</u> force on the <u>smaller</u> block is

<em>µmg</em> = <em>ma</em>

where <em>µmg</em> is again the friction between the two blocks, but notice that this points in the same direction as <em>F</em>. It is the only force acting on the smaller block in the horizontal direction, so (b) static friction is causing the smaller block to accelerate;

• the net <u>vertical</u> force on the <u>smaller</u> block is

<em>mg</em> - <em>mg</em> = 0

where <em>mg</em> is the magnitude of both the normal force of the larger block pushing up on the smaller one, and the weight of the smaller block.

(You should be able to draw your own FBD's based on the forces mentioned above.)

(c) Solve the equations above for <em>A</em> and <em>a</em> :

<em>A</em> = (<em>F</em> - <em>µmg</em>) / (3<em>m</em>)

<em>a</em> = <em>µg</em>

In an isolated system, the total heat given off by warmer substances equals the total heat energy gained by cooler substances. N
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The temperature of the cooler substance was close to the room temperature. Therefore, the system experienced less change

Explanation:

Generally, in a closed system containing two bodies at different temperatures, there is a flow of heat energy from the body at a higher temperature to the body at a lower temperature. The effect is more significant when there is a large temperature difference between the bodies. However, if the temperature difference is small or insignificant, the change will be less.
