Complete Question

Alberta is going to have dinner at her grandmother's house, but she is running a bit behind schedule. As she gets onto the highway, she knows that she must exit the highway within 55 min if she is not going to arrive late. Her exit is 43 mi away. How much time would it take at the posted 60 mph speed?

Answer:

The time it would take at the given speed is $x = 43.00 \ minutes$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The time taken to exist the highway is $t = 55 min$

The distance to the exist is $d = 43\ mi$

Alberta speed is $v = 60 mph$

The time it would take travelling at the given speed is mathematically represented as

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

substituting values

$t_z = \frac{43}{60}$

$t_z = 0.71667\ hrs$

Converting to minutes

1 hour = 60 minutes

So 0.71667 hours = x minutes

Therefore

$x = 0.71667 * 60$

$x = 43.00 \ minutes$

A particle initially located at the origin has an acceleration of vector a = 2.00ĵ m/s2 and an initial velocity of vector v i =

natali 33 [55]

With acceleration

$\mathbf a=\left(2.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\,\mathbf j$

and initial velocity

$\mathbf v(0)=\left(8.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf i$

the velocity at time <em>t</em> (b) is given by

$\mathbf v(t)=\mathbf v(0)+\displaystyle\int_0^t\mathbf a\,\mathrm du$

$\mathbf v(t)=\left(8.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf i+\displaystyle\int_0^t\left(2.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\,\mathbf j\,\mathrm du$

$\mathbf v(t)=\left(8.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf i+\left(2.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)u\,\mathbf j\bigg|_{u=0}^{u=t}$

$\mathbf v(t)=\left(8.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf i+\left(2.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t\,\mathbf j$

We can get the position at time <em>t</em> (a) by integrating the velocity:

$\mathbf x(t)=\mathbf x(0)+\displaystyle\int_0^t\mathbf v(u)\,\mathrm du$

The particle starts at the origin, so $\mathbf x(0)=\mathbf0$ .

$\mathbf x(t)=\displaystyle\int_0^t\left(8.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf i+\left(2.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)u\,\mathbf j\,\mathrm du$

$\mathbf x(t)=\left(\left(8.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)u\,\mathbf i+\dfrac12\left(2.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)u^2\,\mathbf j\right)\bigg|_{u=0}^{u=t}$

$\mathbf x(t)=\left(8.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t\,\mathbf i+\left(1.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2\,\mathbf j$

Get the coordinates at <em>t</em> = 8.00 s by evaluating $\mathbf x(t)$ at this time:

$\mathbf x(8.00\,\mathrm s)=\left(8.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(8.00\,\mathrm s)\,\mathbf i+\left(1.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(8.00\,\mathrm s)^2\,\mathbf j$

$\mathbf x(8.00\,\mathrm s)=(64.0\,\mathrm m)\,\mathbf i+(64.0\,\mathrm m)\,\mathbf j$

so the particle is located at (<em>x</em>, <em>y</em>) = (64.0, 64.0).

Get the speed at <em>t</em> = 8.00 s by evaluating $\mathbf v(t)$ at the same time:

$\mathbf v(8.00\,\mathrm s)=\left(8.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf i+\left(2.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(8.00\,\mathrm s)\,\mathbf j$

$\mathbf v(8.00\,\mathrm s)=\left(8.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf i+\left(16.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf j$

This is the <em>velocity</em> at <em>t</em> = 8.00 s. Get the <em>speed</em> by computing the magnitude of this vector:

$\|\mathbf v(8.00\,\mathrm s)\|=\sqrt{\left(8.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2+\left(16.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2}=8\sqrt5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\approx17.9\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

How many photons are absorbed during the dental x-ray?

MariettaO [177]

<span>E=hc/wav. len
E = (6.62 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8)/0.0275 x 10^-9
E = 7.22182 x 10^-15 J
To convert to eV divide by 1.6 x 10^-19
E = 7.22182 x 10^-15/1.6 x 10^-19 eV
E =45.36 x 10^3 eV
Th energy, E, of a single x-ray photon in eV is = 45.36keV.

Number of photons, n = total energy/ energy of photon
n = 3.85 x 10^-6/7.22182 x 10^-15

The rate (in cubic feet per hour) that a spherical snowball melts is proportional to the snowball's volume raised to the 2/3 pow

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

A 3 feet radius snowball will melt in 54 hours.

Explanation:

As we can assume that the rate of snowball takes to melt is proportional to the surface area, then the rate for a 3 feet radius will be:

T= A(3 ft)/A(1 ft) * 6 hr

A is the area of the snowballs. For a spherical geometry is computing as:

A=4.pi.R^2

Then dividing the areas:

A(3 feet)/A(1 foot) = (4 pi (3 ft)^2)/(4 pi (1 ft)^2) = (36pi ft^2)/(4pi ft^2)= 9

Finally, the rate for the 3 feet radius snowball is:

T= 9 * 6 hr = 54 hr

The auto in the sketch moves forward as the brakes are applied. A bystander says that during the interval of braking, the auto's

Ivan

Answer:

The statement is true: velocity and acceleration have opposite directions in the interval of braking.

Explanation:

Let's say we have a velocity $v>0$ .

The acceleration $a$ is the rate of change of the velocity $v$ . This means that if $v$ is <em>increasing during</em> time, then $a$ must be positive. But if $v$ is <em>decreasing over</em> time, then $a$ will be negative (even though the velocity is positive).

Mathematically:

$a=\frac{dv}{dt}$

$v$ decreases ⇒ $\frac{dv}{dt}$

⇒ $a$ .

Example:

$v(t)=e^{-t}>0 \\\\\frac{dv}{dt}=-te^{-t}$

The electric field 14.0 cm from the surface of a copper ball of radius 2.0 cm is directed toward the ball's center and has magni

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Q = - 256 X 10⁻⁷ C .

Explanation:

Electric field due to a charge Q at a distance d from the center is given by the expression

E = k Q /d² Where k is a constant and it is equal to 9 x 10⁹

Put the given value in the equation

9 x 10² = $\frac{9\times10^9\times Q}{(14+2)^2\times10^{-4}}$

Q = $\frac{9\times16^2\times10^{-2}}{9\times10^9}$

Q = - 256 X 10⁻⁷ C .

It will be negative in nature as the field is directed towards the center.
