Two students walk in the same direction along a straight path, at a constant speed one at 0.90 m/s and the other at 1.90 m/s. a.

Assuming that they start at the same point and the same time, how much sooner does the faster student arrive at a destination 780 m away? b. How far would the students have to walk so that the faster student arrives 5.50 min before the slower student?

Answer: a) 456.66 s ; b) 564.3 m

Explanation:

The time taken to travel a fixed distance at constant speed is calculated by:

velocity = distance / time, thus time = distance / velocity

For the slower student:

t = 780 m / 0.9 m/s = 866.66 seconds

For the faster student:

t = 780 m / 1.9 m/s = 410.52 seconds

The difference in arrival time is 866.66 - 410.52 = 456.14 seconds.

To find the walking distance where the faster student arrives 5.5 minutes earlier, use:

distance = velocity_slow × time_1

distance = velocity_fast × time_2

The time difference corresponds to 5.5 minutes or 330 seconds.

From these, we determine:

time_1 = 627 seconds

time_2 = 297 seconds

The distance traveled in this case is 564.3 m.

Select the areas that would receive snowfall because of the lake effect.
Keith_Richards [3271]

Result:

- Grand Marais

- Two Harbors

- Duluth

Explanation:

The locations likely to receive snowfall due to lake effect include Grand Marais, Two Harbors, and Duluth. These areas are situated directly along the shores of Lake Superior, one of the world’s largest lakes. Its substantial water volume significantly influences the local climate, generating a lot of humidity in the air and considerable evaporation, both of which lead to cloud formation and, when temperatures drop adequately, result in significant snowfall rather than rain.

d. The force is doubled and the object’s mass is halved? 18. ||| A man pulling an empty wagon causes it to accelerate at 1.4 m/s
Yuliya22 [3333]
Assuming that the mass of the empty wagon is "M," according to Newton's second law, we can derive the following relationships. Given that the empty wagon accelerates at 1.4 m/s², we proceed with this information. If a child weighing three times the mass of the wagon is on it, we can establish the relevant equations.

A small block of mass 200 g starts at rest at A, slides to B where its speed is vB=8.0m/s,vB=8.0m/s, then slides along the horiz
serg [3582]

Answer

Data provided:

mass of the block = 200 g = 0.2 Kg

Velocity at A = 0 m/s

Velocity at B = 8 m/s

distance of slide = 10 m

height of the block = 4 m

calculation for the block's potential energy

    P = m g h

    P = 0.2 x 9.8 x 4

    P = 7.84 J

kinetic energy calculated as

    KE = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

    KE = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.2 \times 7.84^2

    KE =6.14 J

Work done = P - KE

work = 7.84 - 6.14

work = 1.7 J

b) using the formula v² = u² + 2 a s

   0 = 8² - 2 x a x 10

   a = 3.2 m/s²

ma - μ mg = 0

 \mu = \dfrac{a}{g}

 \mu = \dfrac{3.2}{9.8}

 \mu = 0.327

Is velocity ratio of a machine affected by applying oil on it?Explain with reason.​
Yuliya22 [3333]
Factors influencing friction

The magnitude of friction is contingent on the following elements: i) The surface area in contact. ii) The applied pressure on the surfaces. Force is determined by Pressure multiplied by Area; thus, if the contact area increases or if the pressure applied rises, the frictional force will also escalate.

Methods for reducing friction

i) Smooth the contact surface. ii) Apply oil or grease to fill small gaps in flat surfaces. iii) Use ball bearings to minimize contact area among rotating components.

Lubrication

To minimize friction, various methods may be employed: Oil can be either thin or viscous, which depends on its SAE number (SAE indicating Society of Automotive Engineers). Highly viscous oils may not reach all components effectively. In contrast, very thin oils may drain away quickly, resulting in wastage. Grease is preferable in such situations, particularly around ball-bearings. Regular grease or oil should not be utilized under high speed, high pressure, and high temperature conditions—specialized lubricants are required then. The consistency of oil varies with temperature; it thickens in the cold and thins in the heat. Therefore, the choice of lubricant should be seasonally appropriate, and it's always wise to consult the equipment's operating manual prior to making a selection.[[TAG_11]]

A hard rubber rod with an electric potential energy of 5.2 × 10–3 J has a charge of 4.0 µC at the tip. What is the electric pote
Keith_Richards [3271]
1) The electric potential energy can be defined as the product of the electric potential and the associated charge:
U=q V
where
q refers to the charge
V denotes the electric potential

In this scenario, the charge on the rod is q=4.0 \mu C = 4.0 \cdot 10^{-6}C, and the potential energy is U=5.2 \cdot 10^{-3} J, thus we may rearrange the earlier formula to find the electric potential at the tip:
V= \frac{U}{q}= \frac{5.2 \cdot 10^{-3}J}{4.0 \cdot 10^{-6} C}=1300 V=1.3 \cdot 10^3 V

2) Using this same formula, if the charge changes to q=2.0 \mu C = 2.0 \cdot 10^{-6} C, the resulting electric potential will be:
V= \frac{U}{q}= \frac{5.2 \cdot 10^{-3} J}{2.0 \cdot 10^{-6}C}=2600 V = 2.6 \cdot 10^{3}V
