Answer:

A. 456 seconds

Explanation:

We are given that two students walk in the same direction along a straight path at a constant speed.

One student walks with a speed=0.90 m/s

second student walks with speed=1.9 m/s

Total distance covered by each students=780 meter

We have to find who is faster and how much time  extra taken by slower student than the faster student.

Time taken by one student who travel with speed 0.90 m/s=\frac{780}{0.90}

Time=\frac{distance}{speed}

Time taken by one student who travel with speed 0.90 m/s

=\frac{780}{0.90}

Time taken by one student who travel with speed 0.90 m/s

=866.6 seconds

Time taken by second student who travel with speed 1.9 m/s=\frac{780}{1.9}

=410.5 seconds

The second student who travels with speed 1.9 m/s is faster than the student travels with speed 0.90 m/s .

Extra time taken by the student travels with speed 0.90 m/s=866.6-410.5=456.1 seconds

Extra time taken by the student travels with speed 0.90 m/s=456 seconds

Hence, option A is true.

<h3>The correct answer is A) 456 seconds.</h3><h3>Further Explanation</h3>

Speed is how far something travels per unit time. It is determined from the ratio of the distance covered and the time it took to cover such distance. It can be represented symbolically using the equation below:

speed = \frac{distance}{time}

To solve the problem, first sort the given:

distance traveled = 780 m

(<em>NOTE:</em> <em>the destination is 780 meters from the origin not 780 miles away. None of the options will be viable if the distance was in miles.)</em>

speed of student 1 = 0..90 m/s

speed of student 2 = 1.9 m/s

The question is asking to find the difference in the time of arrival of student 1 and student 2. To do this, the following steps must be done:

  1. Calculate the time it will take for each student to arrive 780 m away from their origin.
  2. Get the difference in the time.

<u>STEP 1:</u> Use the speed to calculate the time taken to travel a distance of 780 meters. The general equation to be used is:

time = \frac{distance}{speed}

<em>For Student 1:</em>

time = \frac{780 \ m}{0.90 \frac{m}{s}}\\\boxed {time = 866.67 \ s}

<em>For Student 2:</em>

<em>time = \frac{780 \ m}{1.9 \frac{m}{s}}\\\boxed {time = 410.53 \ s}</em>

<u>STEP 2:</u> To determine how sooner the faster student reaches the destination, get the difference between their times.

866.67 \ s \ - 410.53 \ s \ = \boxed {\boxed {\ 456.14 \ s}}

The difference in time shows how many seconds elapse before the slower student arrives.

Rounding off the answer to the nearest whole number gives the correct answer which is A) 456 seconds.

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

4363.3231 feets²

Explanation:

Given that :

Distance, r = 50 ft

θ = 200°

The arc length of area covered :

Arc length = θ/360° * πr²

Arc length = (200/360) * 50 ft ^2 * π

Arc length = 0.5555555 * 2500 * π

Arc length = 4363.3231 feets²

g The magnetic force on a charged particle A. depends on the sign of the charge on the particle. B. depends on the velocity of t
Leona [35]

Answer:

E) is described by all of these

Explanation:

The magnetic force on a charged particle is expressed as:

F = qv * B = qvBsinθ

Where,

q = charge on particle

θ = angle between the magnetic field and the particle velocity.

v = velocity of the particle

B = magnitude of field vector

From here, we could denote that magnetic force, F depends on charge on particle, velocity of particle, magnitude of field vector.

The magnetic force on a charged particle is at right angles to both the velocity of the particle. The magnetic force and magnetic field in a charged particle are perpendicular to each other, the right hand rule is used to determine the direction of force.

The correct option is E.

A wheel rotating about a fixed axis with a constant angular acceleration of 2.0 rad/s2 starts from rest at t = 0. The wheel has
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The total linear acceleration is approximately 0.246 meters per square second.

Explanation:

The total linear acceleration (a) consist in two components, <em>radial</em> (a_{r}) and <em>tangential</em> (a_{t}), in meters per square second:

a_{r} = \omega^{2}\cdot r (1)

a_{t} = \alpha \cdot r (2)

Since both components are orthogonal to each other, the total linear acceleration is determined by Pythagorean Theorem:

a = \sqrt{a_{r}^{2}+a_{t}^{2}} (3)

Where:

r - Radius of the wheel, in meters.

\omega - Angular speed, in radians per second.

\alpha - Angular acceleration, in radians per square second.

Given that wheel accelerates uniformly, we use the following kinematic equation:

\omega = \omega_{o}+ \alpha\cdot t (4)

Where:

\omega_{o} - Initial angular speed, in radians per second.

t - Time, in seconds.

If we know that r = 0.1\,m, \alpha = 2\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}, \omega_{o} = 0\,\frac{rad}{s} and t = 0.60\,s, then the total linear acceleration is:

\omega = \omega_{o}+ \alpha\cdot t

\omega = 1.2\,\frac{rad}{s}

a_{r} = \omega^{2}\cdot r

a_{r} = 0.144\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

a_{t} = \alpha \cdot r

a_{t} = 0.2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

a = \sqrt{a_{r}^{2}+a_{t}^{2}}

a \approx 0.246\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

The total linear acceleration is approximately 0.246 meters per square second.
