You are walking down a straight path in a park and notice there is another person walking some distance ahead of you. The distance between the two of you remains the same, so you deduce that you are walking at the same speed of 1.17 m/s. Suddenly, you notice a wallet on the ground. You pick it up and realize it belongs to the person in front of you. To catch up, you start running at a speed of 2.75 m/s. It takes you 10.5 s to catch up and deliver the lost wallet. How far ahead of you was this person when you started running

Answer from: Abbymay17

16.6 m

Explanation:

Let d be the distance the other person is ahead of you. Since the other person is walking at a speed, v = 1.17 m/s, after picking the wallet, the other person moves a distance , vt in time, t = 10.5 s, the total distance covered by you till catch up is D = d + vt.

Also, you moves with a speed of v' = 2.75 m/s in time t = 10.5 s as you pick up the wallet, you covers a distance d' = v't at catch up.

At catch up, D = d'

d + vt = v't

d = v't - vt

d = (v' - v)t

Substituting the values of the variables into d, we have

d = (2.75 m/s - 1.17 m/s)10.5 s

d = (1.58 m/s)10.5 s

d = 16.59 m

d ≅ 16.6 m

So, the other person was 16.6 m ahead of you when you started running.

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁ + m₂)vmomentum is conserved.the left-hand side of the equation represents the momentum in the system before the collision.the right-hand side represents the momentum in the system after the collisionm₁ and v₁ represents the mass and the velocity of the physics blockm₂ and v₂ represents the mass and velocity of the ball of puttyv represents the final velocity of the combined mass.the question states the two masses stick together. they combined mass has its own velocity with the body mass the sum of the two objects' massestheir combined momentum is (m₁ + m₂)vto find the magitude of (m₁ + m₂)v, we need to add the vectors on the left-hand side of the equation: m₁v₁ + m₂v₂.note the diagram. i have positioned the vectors in accordance with their directions.the magnitude of the resultant can be calculated using the pythagorean theorem since this is a right triangle situation (north and west are perpendicular)|(m₁ + m₂)v| = √[ (m₁v₁)² + (m₂v₂)² ]|(m₁ + m₂)v| = √[ (1.5kg·8.0m/s)² + (0.40kg·20m/s)² ]|(m₁ + m₂)v| = 14.4 kg m/sfor two significant figures (assuming that 20m/s is two), this rounds to 14 kg m/s
