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>

The membrane of a living cell can be approximated by a parallel-plate capacitor with plates of area 4.50×10−9 m2 , a plate separ
Marizza181 [45]

The energy stored in the membrane is 6.44\cdot 10^{-14} J

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by

C=\frac{k\epsilon_0 A}{d}

where

k is the dielectric constant of the material

\epsilon_0 is the vacuum permittivity

A is the area of the plates

d is the separation between the plates

For the membrane in this problem, we have

k = 4.6

A=4.50\cdot 10^{-9} m^2

d=8.1\cdot 10^{-9} m

Substituting, we find its capacitance:

C=\frac{(4.6)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(4.50\cdot 10^{-9})}{8.1\cdot 10^{-9}}=2.26\cdot 10^{-11} F

Now we can find the energy stored: for a capacitor, it is given by

U=\frac{1}{2}CV^2

where

C=2.26\cdot 10^{-11} F is the capacitance

V=7.55\cdot 10^{-2} V is the potential difference

Substituting,

U=\frac{1}{2}(2.26\cdot 10^{-11} F)(7.55\cdot 10^{-2})^2=6.44\cdot 10^{-14} J

What is the proportionality between pressure and temperature, and the proportionality between atmospheric pressure and tempratur
Alborosie

According to Ideal gasTo solve this problem, the fastest relationship allows us to observe the proportionality between the two variables would be the one expressed in the ideal gas equation, which is

PV= NRT

Here

P = Pressure

V = Volume

N = Number of moles

R = Gas constant

T = Temperature

We can see that the pressure is proportional to the temperature, then

P \propto T

This relationship can be extrapolated to all the scenarios in which these two variables are related. As the pressure increases the temperature increases. The same goes for the pressure in the atmosphere, for which an increase in this will generate an increase in temperature. This variable can be observed in areas of different altitude. At higher altitude lower atmospheric pressure and lower temperature.

A 3.00-kg ball swings rapidly in a complete vertical circle of radius 2.00 m by a light string that is fixed at one end. The bal
Setler [38]

Answer

given,

mass of the ball = 3 kg

swing in vertical circle with radius = 2 m

   work done by the gravity = ?          

   work done by the tension = ?            

Work done by the gravity = - m g Δh            

 Δ h = 2 + 2 = 4 m                                                                

Work done by the gravity =- 3 \times 9.8 \times 4

                                           = -117.6 J                  

work done by gravity is equal to -117.6 J            

Work done by tension will be equal to zero.        

Zero because tension is always perpendicular to velocity

work done by tension is equal to 0 J

From an h = 53 feet observation tower on the coast, a Coast Guard officer sights a boat in difficulty. The angle of depression o
maksim [4K]

Answer:

757,93 feets

Explanation:

We can make a right triangle between the boat (A), the Coast Guard officer (B) and the base of the observation tower (C), like in the graph attached. Now, you could also made a rectangle, adding the horizontal at the height of the Coast Guard, starting in B and ending in D, the vertex opossing C.

The angle of depression, its O in the graph.

Now, as we got an rectangle, of course, the segment AD its the same length as CB, and CA, the distance from the boat to shoreline, its the same length as DB.

ADB its an right triangle, with AB, the hypothenuse, and BD and DA, the catheti (or <em>legs</em>).

Now, we know the lenght BC, the height of the tower, 53 feets, so we also know the lenght of DA. DA its the opposite cathetus to the angle O. We wish to know the length AC, equal to the lenght DB, the adjacent cathetus of the angle O.

Know, the trigonometric function that connects the adjacent cathetus with the opossite cathetus its the tangent.

tangent( O ) = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

We can take that the angle O = 4 °, and knowing that the opossite cathetus its 53 feets, we got:

tangent( 4) = \frac{53 feets}{DB}

DB=  \frac{53 feets}{tangent( 4)}

DB=  757,93 feets

This its equal to the distance from the boat to the shoreline.
