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}.

A block of 1 kg with a speed 1 m/s hits a spring placed horizontally as shown in the figure. If spring constant is 1000 N/m, fin
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

0.0316 m

Explanation:

Wok done = Energy change

Work done on the spring = Energy change of the block

  Elastic Potential stored = Kinetic energy of the block

\frac{1}{2} kx^{2} = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}

                              x = \sqrt{v^{2}\frac{m}{k}  }

                              x = \sqrt{1^{2}\frac{1}{1000}  }

                              x = 0.0316 m

k = spring constant

m = mass of block

v = velocity of the block

x = compression of spring

If a certain mass of mercury has a volume of 0.002 m^3 at a temperature of 20°c, what will be the volume at 50°c
V125BC [204]
Change in volume = mass x coefficient of linear expansion x change in temperature
.002 x .0001802 x 30 = .000010812

initial volume + change in volume = Final volume
.002 + .000010812 = .002010812 m cubed

Which idea is associated with Copernicus? Select one: a. The orbits of the planets are circles. b. The orbits of the planets are
Schach [20]

Answer:

d. The earth rotates around the sun

Explanation:

  • Nicolas Copernicus is considered the first person to give the theory of heliocentric, or Sun-centered system of our planetary system.
  • In the heliocentric system, it is considered that the sun is stationary and the earth revolves around the sun.
  • He stated that the sun is at the center of the universe and the earth spins on its axis once daily and revolves around the sun in one year.
  • And today we know it is correct that earth rotates on its own axis and also revolves around the sun.

Find the electron and hole mobilities, and the resistivity of intrinsic silicon at 300K. Is intrinsic silicon a semiconductor
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Resistivity = 231.481 K Ohm

Yes, Intrinsic Silicon is the semiconductor.

Explanation:

Solution:

At 300K:

Let suppose mobility of electron in intrinsic semiconductor = M_{e}

Mobility of electron in intrinsic semiconductor is:

M_{e}  = 1300 cm^{2}/volt.sec

Let suppose mobility of hole in intrinsic semiconductor = M_{h}

M_{h} = 500 cm^{2}/volt.sec

We know that, intrinsic silicon semiconductor has equal number of holes and electrons. So,

At 300 K

Intrinsic Carrier Concentration = 1.5 x 10^{10}/cm^{3} = C

And,

Conductivity of intrinsic Silicon is:

σ = C x (M_{h} + M_{e}) e

e = 1.6 x 10^{-19} C

So, plugging in the values, we get:

σ = C x (M_{h} + M_{e}) e

σ = 1.5 x 10^{10} x (500 + 1300) x 1.6 x 10^{-19}

σ = 4.32 x 10^{-6}

So, now we can find the resistivity.

Resistivity = 1/σ

Resistivity = 1/ 4.32 x 10^{-6}

Resistivity = 231.481 K Ohm

Yes, Intrinsic Silicon is the semiconductor.
