Answer:

Average speed: approximately 76.9\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}.

Average velocity: approximately 38.5\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}} (to the north.)

Explanation:

Consider an object that travelled along a certain path. Distance travelled would be equal to the length of the entire path.

In contrast, the magnitude of displacement is equal to distance between where the object started and where it stopped.

In this question, the path George took required him to travel 750\; {\rm m} + 250\; {\rm m} = 1000\; {\rm m} in total. Hence, the distance George travelled would be 1000\; {\rm m}. However, since George stopped at a point (750\; {\rm m} - 250\; {\rm m}) = 500\; {\rm m} to the north of where he started, his displacement would be only 500\; {\rm m} to the north.

Divide total distance by total time to find the average speed.

Divide total displacement by total time to find average velocity.

The total time of travel in this question is 13\; {\rm s}.. Therefore:

\begin{aligned}\text{average speed} &= \frac{\text{total distance}}{\text{total time}} \\ &= \frac{1000\; {\rm m}}{13\; {\rm s}} \\ &\approx 76.9\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}.

\begin{aligned}\text{average velocity} &= \frac{\text{total displacement}}{\text{total time}} \\ &= \frac{500\; {\rm m}}{13\; {\rm s}} && \genfrac{}{}{0px}{}{(\text{to the north})}{}\\ &\approx 38.5\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} && (\text{to the north})\end{aligned}.

What is the net charge of a copper atom if it gains 2 electrons?
Alex_Xolod [135]
If an atom gains electrons, it develops a negative charge equal to the number of electrons gained.
So the net charge on the copper atom which gained 2 electrons will be -2.

A pendulum oscillates 12 times in 4 seconds. what is the length of the pendulum?
seraphim [82]

Answer:

L = 2.8 cm

Explanation:

Period T = 4 / 12 = 1/3 s

T = 2π√(L/g)

L = (T/2π)²g

L = ((1/3)/2π)²9.8 = 0.02758... ≈ 2.8 cm

Two engineering students, John with a weight of 92 kg and Mary with a weight of 46 kg, are 30 m apart. Suppose each has a 0.04%
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

F = 6.27 x 10 ¹⁹ N

Explanation:

Given

m₁ = 92 kg, m₂ = 46 kg, % = 0.04% N = 6.022 x 10²³ Z = 18, e = 1.6 x 10 ⁻¹⁹ C, M = 0.018 kg/mol

q₁ = % * [m * N * A * e / M ]  

q₁ = 0.0004 * [ ( 92 kg * 6.022 x 10²³ * 18 * 1.6 x 10 ⁻¹⁹ ) / (0.018 kg/mol ) ]

q₁ = 3.54 x 10⁶ C

q₂ = 0.0004 * [ ( 46 kg * 6.022 x 10²³ * 18 * 1.6 x 10 ⁻¹⁹ ) / (0.018 kg/mol ) ]

q₂ = 1.773 x 10⁶ C

Now to determine the electrostatic force con use the equation

F = K * q₁ * q₂ / d²

K = 8.99 x 10 ⁹

F = 8.99 x 10 ⁹ * 3.54 x 10⁶ C * 1.773 x 10⁶ C / (30m)²

F = 6.27 x 10 ¹⁹ N

Would anyone be kind enough to help me? :)
Travka [436]

Answer:

The racetrack is 996.7 meters long

Explanation:

Convert 251km/h to km/s (kilometers per second)

3600 seconds in an hour, so:

251/3600 = 0.0697km/s

Convert km/s to m/s (meters per second)

1000 meters in a kilometer, so:

0.0697*1000 = 69.7m/s

Find length of racetrack:

69.7m/s*14.3s = 996.7m

If the racer travels 69.7 meters in one second and it takes 14.3 seconds to complete a lap, the racetrack is 996.7 meters long.
