Taking into account the definition of velocity, Clara's average velocity is 0.5 m/s.

<h3>Definition of velocity</h3>

Velocity is a physical magnitude that relates the displacement of an object, the time it takes to make this change in position and direction. So it is considered a vector magnitude.

In other words, the velocity can be defined as the amount of space traveled per unit of time with which a body moves, considering the direction, and can be calculated using the expression:

velocity= distance traveled÷ time

<h3>Average velocity of Clara</h3>

Clara rushes 30 m to a truck then turns and walks back. Total travel is 120s. Then, you know:

distance traveled= 30m rushing + 30m walking back= 60 m
time= 120 s

Replacing in the definition of velocity:

velocity= 60 m÷ 120 s

Solving:

<u><em>velocity= 0.5 m/s</em></u>

Finally, Clara's average velocity is 0.5 m/s.

An electric field can be modeled as lines of force radiating out into space.

Hatshy [7]

Yes. Electric field lines are the imaginary lines that represents strength & direction of electric field due to a charge. It can be modeled as lines.

In short, Your Answer would be "True"

While riding in a moving car, you toss an egg directly upward. Does the egg tend to land behind you, in front of you, or back in

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

The movement of a body can be analyzed using New's first law. In an inertial frame (without acceleration) every body is kept at rest or moving at constant speed until there is an external force that changes this state

Let's analyze these cases in the framework of this first law

a) If the vehicle is going at constant speed the two bodies (the egg and the hands) do not change movement so he had returned to the hands

b) If the vehicle accelerates the passenger goes faster, but the egg that is not subject to anything does not change the movement, so it falls behind the passenger

c) If the vehicle slows down, the passenger reduces its speed and the distance traveled in time, but the egg that is not attached follows its movement and falls in front of the passenger.

Two square air-filled parallel plates that are initially uncharged are separated by 1.2 mm, and each of them has an area of 190

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

$5.5\cdot 10^{-11} C$

Explanation:

The capacitance of the parallel-plate capacitor is given by:

$C=\epsilon_0 \frac{A}{d}$

where

$\epsilon_0 = 8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m$ is the vacuum permittivity

$A=190 mm^2 = 190 \cdot 10^{-6} m^2$ is the area of the plates

$d=1.2 mm = 0.0012 m$ is the separation between the plates

Substituting,

$C=(8.85\cdot 10^{-12}) \frac{190 \cdot 10^{-6}}{0.0012}=1.4\cdot 10^{-12}F$

The energy stored in the capacitor is given by

$U=\frac{Q^2}{2C}$

Since we know the energy

$U=1.1 nJ = 1.1 \cdot 10^{-9} J$

we can re-arrange the formula to find the charge, Q:

$Q=\sqrt{2UC}=\sqrt{2(1.1\cdot 10^{-9} J)(1.4\cdot 10^{-12}F )}=5.5\cdot 10^{-11} C$

A fire engine is moving south at 35 m/s while blowing its siren at a frequency of 400 Hz.

vodomira [7]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Doppler effect. The Doppler effect is the change in the perceived frequency of any wave movement when the emitter, or focus of waves, and the receiver, or observer, move relative to each other. Mathematically it can be described as

$f_d= f_s \frac{(v+v_d)}{(v-v_s)}$

Here,

$f_d$ =frequency received by detector

$f_s$ =frequency of wave emitted by source

$v_d$ =velocity of detector

$v_s$ =velocity of source

v=velocity of sound wave

Replacing we have that,

$f_d = 400(\frac{(343+18)}{(343-35)})$

$f_d=422 Hz$

Therefore the frequencty that will hear the passengers is 422Hz

If time travel to the future existed, doesn't that mean that the future has already occurred and that we are living in the past?

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

As of right now the techology has not been invented to time travel

if we were to time travel to the future from where that person travled from would be the past and to them the people from where they came from are living in the past
