Two bicyclist, originally separated by a distance of 20 miles, are each traveling at a uniform speed of 10 miles per hour toward

each other down a long straight east-west aligned road. As the bikes travel, a bumble bee flying at a uniform speed of 25 miles per hour travels from the front wheel of one bike to the other, instantaneously reversing its course each time it encounters one of the bicycle wheels. Alas, eventually the two bicycles collide, crushing the poor bumble bee between their front wheels. What distance does the bee travel before his demise?

Answer:

D = 25 miles

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we just need to know how much time it took both bicyclists to collide and that will be the same amount of time that the bee flew at 25miles per hour. With those values we could calculate the distance it traveled.

Since both bicyclists collide, we know that Xa=Xb, so:

Xa = V*t = 10*t     and    Xb = 20 - V*t = 20 - 10*t

10*t = 20 - 10*t      Solving for t:

t = 1 hour  Now we can calculate the distance for the bee:

D = Vbee * t = 25 * 1 = 25 miles

The magnitude E of an electric field depends on the radial distance r according to E = A/r4, where A is a constant with unit vol
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

\Delta V = 0.053 A

Explanation:

Electric field in a given region is given by equation

E = \frac{A}{r^4}

as we know the relation between electric field and potential difference is given as

\Delta V = -\int E. dr

so here we have

\Delta V = - \int (\frac{A}{r^4}) .dr

\Delta V = \frac{A}{3r_1^3} - \frac{A}{3r_2^3}

here we know that

r_1 = 1.71 m  and r_2 = 2.89 m

so we will have

\Delta V = \frac{A}{3}(\frac{1}{1.71^3} - \frac{1}{2.89^3})

so we will have

\Delta V = 0.053 A

Two parallel-plate capacitors have the same plate area, but the plate gap in capacitor 1 is twice as big as capacitor 2. If capa
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Capacitance of the second capacitor = 2C

Explanation:

\texttt{Capacitance, C}=\frac{\varepsilon_0A}{d}

Where A is the area, d is the gap between plates and ε₀ is the dielectric constant.

Let C₁ be the capacitance of first capacitor with area A₁ and gap between plates d₁.

We have    

              \texttt{Capacitance, C}_1=\frac{\varepsilon_0A_1}{d_1}=C

Similarly for capacitor 2

               \texttt{Capacitance, C}_2=\frac{\varepsilon_0A_2}{d_2}=\frac{\varepsilon_0A_1}{\frac{d_1}{2}}=2\times \frac{\varepsilon_0A_1}{d_1}=2C

Capacitance of the second capacitor = 2C

Consider the numbers 23.68 and 4.12. The sum of these numbers has ____ significant figures, and the product of these numbers has
damaskus [11]

Answer:multiplying will give us 7 significant figures and addition will give us 3 significant figures

Explanation:

After multiplying the two numbers they resulting value will give a value in its 4 decimal places because both given values are in 2 decimal places. The 4 dp is gotten by the addition of the decimal places of both given numbers (2+2) and

The result of its addition will give us a value in its 1dp and 3 significant figures since the addition of 23.68 and 4.12 will give us 27.8
