A student is bicycling north along Main Street to school. Another student is timing the bicycling student in order to determine

the average velocity. The bicycling student is 450 m away when the timer starts, and is 200 m away when the timer stops. If the student traveled the distance in 60 seconds, what is the students average velocity?

The average velocity is -4.17 m/s

Explanation:

The average velocity of a body is given by:

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

where

d is the displacement of the body

t is the time elapsed

For the student in this problem, we have:

Initial position: $x_i = 450 m$

Final position: $x_f = 200 m$

So the displacement is

$d=x_f -x_i = 200 - 450 = -250 m$

The time elapsed is

t = 60 s

Therefore, the average velocity is

$v=\frac{-250}{60}=-4.17 m/s$

Where the negative sign means the student is moving towards the origin.

Two identical charges, 2 m apart, exert forces of magnitude 4 N on each other. The value of each charge is: 1. 9 × 105 C 2. 4.2

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

The value of each charge is 4.22 x 10⁻⁵ C

Explanation:

Given;

distance between the two identical charges, d = 2 m

the force of repulsion between these two charges, F = 4N

Apply Coulomb's law;

$F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2} \\\\but \ q_1 =q_2,then \ let \ q_1 =q_2 = q\\\\F = \frac{kq^2}{r^2}\\\\q^2 = \frac{Fr^2}{k}\\\\q^2 = \frac{4*2^2}{9*10^9} \\\\q ^2 = 1.7778*10^{-9}\\\\q = \sqrt{1.7778*10^{-9}}\\\\q =4.22 *10^{-5} C\\\\q= q_1=q_2= 4.22 *10^{-5} C$

Therefore, the value of each charge is 4.22 x 10⁻⁵ C

A 300 MHz electromagnetic wave in air (medium 1) is normally incident on the planar boundary of a lossless dielectric medium wit

Masja [62]

Answer:

Wavelength of the incident wave in air = 1 m

Wavelength of the incident wave in medium 2 = 0.33 m

Intrinsic impedance of media 1 = 377 ohms

Intrinsic impedance of media 2 = 125.68 ohms

Check the explanation section for a better understanding

Explanation:

a) Wavelength of the incident wave in air

The frequency of the electromagnetic wave in air, f = 300 MHz = 3 * 10⁸ Hz

Speed of light in air, c = 3 * 10⁸ Hz

Wavelength of the incident wave in air:

$\lambda_{air} = \frac{c}{f} \\\lambda_{air} = \frac{3 * 10^{8} }{3 * 10^{8}} \\\lambda_{air} = 1 m$

Wavelength of the incident wave in medium 2

The refractive index of air in the lossless dielectric medium:

$n = \sqrt{\epsilon_{r} } \\n = \sqrt{9 }\\n =3$

$\lambda_{2} = \frac{c}{nf}\\\lambda_{2} = \frac{3 * 10^{6} }{3 * 3 * 10^{6}}\\\lambda_{2} = 1/3\\\lambda_{2} = 0.33 m$

b) Intrinsic impedances of media 1 and media 2

The intrinsic impedance of media 1 is given as:

$n_1 = \sqrt{\frac{\mu_0}{\epsilon_{0} } }$

Permeability of free space, $\mu_{0} = 4 \pi * 10^{-7} H/m$

Permittivity for air, $\epsilon_{0} = 8.84 * 10^{-12} F/m$

$n_1 = \sqrt{\frac{4\pi * 10^{-7} }{8.84 * 10^{-12} } }$

$n_1 = 377 \Omega$

The intrinsic impedance of media 2 is given as:

$n_2 = \sqrt{\frac{\mu_r \mu_0}{\epsilon_r \epsilon_{0} } }$

Permeability of free space, $\mu_{0} = 4 \pi * 10^{-7} H/m$

Permittivity for air, $\epsilon_{0} = 8.84 * 10^{-12} F/m$

ϵr = 9

$n_2 = \sqrt{\frac{4\pi * 10^{-7} *1 }{8.84 * 10^{-12} *9 } }$

$n_2 = 125.68 \Omega$

c) The reflection coefficient,r and the transmission coefficient,t at the boundary.

Reflection coefficient, $r = \frac{n - n_{0} }{n + n_{0} }$

You didn't put the refractive index at the boundary in the question, you can substitute it into the formula above to find it.

$r = \frac{3 - n_{0} }{3 + n_{0} }$

Transmission coefficient at the boundary, t = r -1

d) The amplitude of the incident electric field is $E_{0} = 10 V/m$

Maximum amplitudes in the total field is given by:

$E = tE_{0}$ and $E = r E_{0}$

E = 10r, E = 10t

What is the net force on a 50-newton weight hanging on a string tied to the ceiling?

The net force on the hanging object is zero. If it were not zero, then the object would be accelerating in some direction.

A 5 kg block is being pushed horizontally across a level surface at a constant velocity. What is the magnitude of the Normal for

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

50 N.

Explanation:

On top of a horizontal surface, the normal force acting on an object is equivalent to the force of gravity acting on the object. That is:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} F_N = F_g & = ma \\ & = mg\end{aligned}$

The mass of the block is 5 kg and the given force due to gravity is 10 N/kg. Substitute and evaluate:

$\displaystyle F_N = F_g = (5\text{ kg})(10 \text{ N/kg}) = 50 \text{ N}$

In conclusion, the normal force acting on the block is 50 N.
