A person walks first at a constant speed of 5.10 m/s along a straight line from point circled a to point circled b and then back

along the line from circled b to circled a at a constant speed of 2.75 m/s. (a) what is her average speed over the entire trip? 3.57 correct: your answer is correct. m/s

Average speed = total distance / time

1) Distance from A to B

Distance = velocity * time  = V1 * t1 = 5.10 t1

2) Distance from B to A

Distance = velocity * time  = V2*t 2 = 2.75 t2

Distance from A to B = distance from B to A => 5.10t1 = 2.75t2

=> t2 = 5.10t1 / 2.75

3) Average speed = total distance / total time =

total distance = 2 * 5.10 t1 = 10.20 t1

Average speed = [10.20 t1] / [t1 + 5.10 t1 / 2.75]

As you see t1 is factor for the three terms, so you can simplify it

=> Average speed = [10.20 ] / [1 + 5.10/2.75] = 3.57 m/s

Answer: 3.57 m/s

A large lightning bolt is observed to have a 19500 A current and move 36 C of charge. What was its duration?
Lynna [10]

Answer:

Its duration is 1.85*10⁻³ s or 1.85 ms

Explanation:

The intensity of electric current I is defined as the amount of electric charge Q (measured in Coulombs) that passes through a section of a conductor in each unit of time. The letter I is used to name the Intensity and its unit is the Ampere (A).

The intensity of electric current is expressed as:

I=\frac{Q}{t}

where:

I: Intensity expressed in Amps (A)

Q: Electric charge expressed in Coulombs (C)

t: Time expressed in seconds (s)

Being:

  • I= 19500 A
  • Q=36 C
  • t=?

Replacing:

19500 A=\frac{36 C}{t}

Solving:

19500 A*t= 36 C

t=\frac{36 C}{19500 A}

t= 1.85*10⁻³ s= 1.85 ms (being 1 s= 1,000 ms)

<u><em>Its duration is 1.85*10⁻³ s or 1.85 ms</em></u>

A net downward force of 20 N causes a book to fall towards the ground at m/s2. What is the book’s mass? Consider air resistance
stira [4]

If we have to figure air resistance into it, then we don't have enough information to find an answer.  

If the air around it is going to have an effect on how it falls, then it'll depend on the thickness of the book, the shape of the book, whether it's a hard-cover or soft-cover, how far the covers stick out past the pages, how smooth or rough the covers are, how bumpy the binding it. and what position you hold it in before you let it go.

(THAT's why we always ignore air resistance, especially when the question is actually about gravity anyway.)

A car traveling at 22m/s is in an accident, and the 81 kg driver is brought to a stop in 1.4 s by in inflating airbag. What forc
larisa86 [58]
Here, F = m * a
F = m * v/t
Here, m = 81 Kg
v = 22 m/s
t = 1,4 s

Substitute their values, 
F = 81 * 22/1.4
F = 81 * 15.71
F = 1273 N
So, Closest value from your options is 1300 N

In short, Your Answer would be Option B

Hope this helps!
