At 6: 00 am, a motorbike set off from town A to town B at a speed of 40km/h. At the same time, a car set off from town B to town

Answer:

One would need to know how far apart the towns are:

T = SA / 40      time it takes for first cyclist to travel S1

T = SB / 60       time it takes for cyclist B to travel distance S2

SA + SB = S     the distance between the towns

SB = 60 / 40 SA = 1.5 SA

SA + 1.5 SA = S

S = 2.5 SA where cyclist travels distance SA

The time will depend on the separation of the towns.

A 69 kg zebra is traveling 7 m/s east. What is the zebra’s momentum? kg-m/s
Hitman42 [59]
Linear momentum is the product of mass and velocity. In this case, it is simply:
69\times 7 = 483 kg\cdot m/s

You and your friends are having a discussion about weight. He/she claims that he/she weighs less on the 100th floor of a buildin
Viktor [21]

Answer:

if the weight theoretically decreases at this height, but in a fraction of 10⁻⁵, which is not appreciable in any scale, therefore, the reading of the scale in the two places is the same.

Explanation:

The weight of a person in the force with which the Earth attracts the person, therefore can be calculated using the law of universal attraction

          F = G m M / r²

Where m is the mass of the person, M the masses of the earth

Let's call the person's weight at ground level as Wo and suppose the distance to the center of the Earth is Re

            W₀ = G m M / Re²

In the calculation of the weight of the person on the 100th floor the only thing that changes is the distance

          r = Re + 100 r₀

Where r₀ is the distance between the floors, which is approximately 2.5 m, so the distance is

         r = Re + 250

We substitute

     W = G m M / r²

      W = G m M / (Re + 250)²

The value of Re is 6.37 10⁶ m, so we can take it out as a factor and perform a serial expansion of the remaining fraction

      W = G m M / Re² (1+ 250 / Re)²

      (1 + 250 / Re)⁻² = 1 + (-2) 250 / Re + (-2 (-2-1)) / 2 (250 / Re)² +….

The value of the expression is

      (1 + 250 / Re)⁻² = 1 -2 250 / 6.37 10⁶ -30 (250 / 6.37)² 10⁻¹² + ...

We can see that the quadratic term is very small, which is why we despise it, we substitute in the weight equation

      W = G m M / Re² (1 - 78.5 10⁻⁶)

Remains

     W = Wo (1 - 7.85  10⁻⁵)

We can see that if the weight theoretically decreases at this height, but in a fraction of 10⁻⁵, which is not appreciable in any scale, therefore, the reading of the scale in the two places is the same.

Scientists have designed solar cells to trap solar energy and convert it to _____ energy.
lapo4ka [179]
Scientists have designed solar cells to trap solar energy and convert it to D electrical energy. Its D because converting something has to do with recharging something and electronics have to charge. I hope I helped.

An electron and a proton are each placed at rest in an electric field of 500 N/C. Calculate the speed (and indicate the directio
Bumek [7]

Answer:

For proton: 2592 m/s In the same direction of electric field.

For electron: 4752000 m/s In the opposite direction of electric field.

Explanation:

E = 500 N/C, t = 54 ns = 54 x 10^-9 s,

Acceleration = Force /mass

Acceleration of proton, ap = q E / mp

ap = (1.6 x 10^-19 x 500) / (1.67 x 10^-27) = 4.8 x 10^10 m/s^2

Acceleration of electron, ae = q E / me

ae = (1.6 x 10^-19 x 500) / (9.1 x 10^-31) = 8.8 x 10^13 m/s^2

For proton:

u = 0, ap = 4.8 x 10^10 m/s^2, t = 54 x 10^-9 s

use first equation of motion

v = u + at

vp = 0 + 4.8 x 10^10 x 54 x 10^-9 = 2592 m/s In the same direction of electric field.

For electron:

u = 0, ae = 8.8 x 10^13 m/s^2, t = 54 x 10^-9 s

use first equation of motion

v = u + at

vp = 0 + 8.8 x 10^13 x 54 x 10^-9 = 4752000 m/s In the opposite direction of electric field.

G a magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of a wire loop is uniform in space but changes with time t in the region of the lo
Luden [163]

Answer:

e = Δφ / Δt     induced emf is proportional to enclosed flux

Also φ  = B * A      flux is proportional to area and enclosed field

If the induced emf e increases with time than the flux and hence the magnetic field is increasing with time  (replace B with G)

Since e = ΔG * A / Δt    if e is linear then G must also be linear and be proportional to the time
