The whole point of this problem is to check how well you understand
the definitions of a few important quantities, like velocity, speed, distance,
displacement etc.

Before we begin, I just want to mention that 'MPG' is not a unit of either
velocity or speed, but I think I know what you mean.

-- For some reason, Ms. Eaddy rode 100 miles north on the train, then
stayed aboard while the train turned around and took her 150 miles south.
The total distance she rode was (100 + 150) = 250 miles.  But she ended up
50 miles south of where she began.

-- Displacement for the whole trip = distance and direction from the start point
to the finish point.

Displacement = 50 miles south

-- Average velocity = (displacement) / (time)

50 miles south / 3.5 hours = <u>14.29 miles per hour south</u>

A 5c charge experiences a force of 40n when put at a certain location in space. What is the electric field at that location?
stepladder [879]
The 'strength' of the electric field is the force on 1C of charge at that point.

At this 'certain location', the field is 40/5 = 8 newtons per coulomb = <u>8 volts</u>

A ring, cylinder, solid sphere, and hollow sphere are all released from rest from the same height on an inclined surface, at the
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Explanation:

  • The expression for acceleration of the rolling body on an inclined plane is given as a = gsinФ/1 + k²/R²
  • where Ф is the angle of inclination, R is the radius, k is the radius of gyration.
  • The potential energy of the system is given as ; PE = mgh
  • The potential energy will be constant for ring, cylinder, solid sphere, and hollow sphere.
  • The total kinetic energy of the rolling body is ; KE = mv²/2 + Iw²/2
  • Hence, the total kinetic energy of the ring, cylinder, solid sphere and hollow sphere will be constant.

2. The moment of inertia of the ring is given as ;

I = mR²

The moment of inertia of the ring is maximum and therefore reaches the bottom last.
