A cyclist rides 16.0 km east, then 8.0 km west, then 8.0 km east, then 32.0 km west, and finally 11.2 km east.
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Time, t = 12 minutes

Explanation:

It is given that,

A cyclist rides 16.0 km east, then 8.0 km west, then 8.0 km east, then 32.0 km west, and finally 11.2 km east. Let west direction is negative and east direction is positive. The displacement of the cyclist is :

d=16-8+8-32+11.2=-4.8\ km

d = 4800 m

Let us assumed that the average speed of the cyclist is, v = 24 km/h = 6.66667 m/s

Let t is the time taken by the cyclist to complete the trip. The velocity of an object is given by :

v=\dfrac{d}{t}

t=\dfrac{d}{v}

t=\dfrac{4800\ m}{6.66667\ m/s}

t = 719.99 seconds

t = 720 seconds

or

t = 12 minutes

So, the time taken by the cyclist to complete the trip is 12 minutes. Yes, the time taken by the cyclist to complete the trip is reasonable. Hence, this is the required solution.

Suppose a free-fall ride at an amusement park starts at rest and is in free fall. What is the velocity of the ride after 2.3 s?
horsena [70]

Answer:

V = a * t = 9.8 m/s^2 * 2.3 s = 22.5 m/s   velocity after 2.3 s

S = 1/2 g t^2      since initial speed is zero

S = 1/2 * 9.8 m/s^2 * 5.29 s^2 = 25.9 m

Describe a situation in which an electron will be affected by an external electric field but will not be affected by an external
irina [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Situations in which an electron will be affected by an external electric field but will not be affected by an external magnetic field

a ) When an electron is stationary in the electric field and magnetic field , he will be affected by electric field but not by magnetic field. Magnetic field can exert force only on mobile charges.

b ) When the electron is moving parallel to electric field and magnetic field . In this case also electric field will  exert force on electron but magnetic field field will not exert force on electrons . Magnetic field can exert force only on the perpendicular component of the velocity of charged particles.

Situations when electron is affected by an external magnetic field but not by an external electric field

There is no such situation in which electric field will not affect an electron . It will always affect an electron .

A student pulls a 50-newton sled with a force having a magnitude of 15 newtons. What is the magnitude of the force that the sled
Simora [160]

Answer:

Force = 35 N

Explanation:

From Newton's third law of motion, the boy must apply a force greater than the weight of the sled to lift it.

weight of sled = mg

where m is its mass and g the force of gravity on it.

weight of sled = 50 N

Force applied by the boy on the sled = 15 N

Since the force applied on the sled by the boy is lesser than the weight of the sled, then;

Force that the sled exerts on the student = 50 - 15

                                             = 35 N

The force exerted by the sled on the student is 35 N.
