If the runner completes exactly one lap what is her average speed? her average velocity? Explain your answer.

1 answer:

4 0

Average speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance).

Runner's average speed = (length of 1 lap) / (her time to run 1 lap).

________________________________

Average velocity =

(straight-line distance between start-point and end-point)
divided by
(time to go from start-point to end-point).

The runner's start-point and end-point are the same place.
The distance between them (her 'displacement') is zero.
Her average velocity = zero .

Me finding out bananas are curved because they grow towards the sun what do you think about this ?

Goryan [66]

Answer:

Bananas go through a unique process known as negative geotropism. Instead of continuing to grow towards the ground, they start to turn towards the sun. The fruit grows against gravity, giving the banana its familiar curved shape.

Can someone explain to me #4.

nalin [4]

A) We balance the masses: 4(1.00728) vs 4.0015 + 2(0.00055)4.02912 vs. 4.0026This shows a "reduced mass" of 4.02912 - 4.0026 = 0.02652 amu. This is also equivalent to 0.02652/6.02E23 = 4.41E-26 g = 4.41E-29 kg.
b) Using E = mc^2, where c is the speed of light, multiplying 4.41E-29 kg by (3E8 m/s)^2 gives 3.96E-12 J of energy.
c) Since in the original equation, there is only 1 helium atom, we multiply the energy result in b) by 9.21E19 to get 3.65E8 J of energy, or 365 MJ of energy.

Two 10-cm-diameter charged rings face each other, 21.0 cm apart. Both rings are charged to +40.0 nC. What is the electric field

Katyanochek1 [597]

Complete question:

Two 10-cm-diameter charged rings face each other, 21.0 cm apart. Both rings are charged to +40.0 nC. What is the electric field strength at the midpoint between the two rings ?

Answer:

The electric field strength at the mid-point between the two rings is zero.

Explanation:

Given;

diameter of each ring, d = 10 cm = 0.1 m

distance between the rings, r = 21.0 cm = 0.21 m

charge of each ring, q = 40 nC = 40 x 10⁻⁹ C

let the midpoint between the two rings = x

The electric field strength at the midpoint between the two rings is given as;

$E_{mid} = E_{right} +E_{left}\\\\E_{right} = \frac{KQ}{(x^2 + r^2)^\frac{2}{3} } \\\\E_{leftt} = -\ \frac{KQ}{(x^2 + r^2)^\frac{2}{3} }\\\\E_{mid} = \frac{KQ}{(x^2 + r^2)^\frac{2}{3} } - \frac{KQ}{(x^2 + r^2)^\frac{2}{3} } = 0$

Therefore, the electric field strength at the mid-point between the two rings is zero.
