Explanation:

John is traveling north at 20 meters/second and his friend Betty is traveling south at 20 meters/second.

We know that the total distance covered divided by total time taken is called speed of an object. It is a scalar quantity i.e. it have only magnitude. While velocity is a vector quantity.

In this case, north direction is considered as positive while south direction is considered as negative.

So, John's speed is 20 meters/second and Betty's speed is 20 meters/second as speed is a scalar quantity.

John's velocity is 20 m/s north.
Betty's velocity is 20 m/s south.
Their speeds are both 20 m/s.

A 2kg bowling ball rolls at a speed of 5 m/s on a roof of the building that is 40 meters tall. What is the kinetic energy

MrRa [10]

The kinetic energy is $\frac 1 2 m v^2$ and the height of the building doesn't matter at all.

$E = \frac 1 2 m v^2 = \frac 1 2 (2)(5)^2 = 25$ joules

Why x ray is called an electromagnetic wave<br>

Dahasolnce [82]

Because they behave just like all the electromagnetic waves of the spectrum. Same equations, just shorter wavelengths and more energy.

Hope you get it :)

A 40-W lightbulb is 1.7 m from a screen. What is the intensity of light incident on the screen? Assume that a lightbulb emits ra

Sonja [21]

Answer:

Intensity, $I=1.101\ W/m^2$

Explanation:

Power of the light bulb, P = 40 W

Distance from screen, r = 1.7 m

Let I is the intensity of light incident on the screen. The power acting per unit area is called the intensity of the light. Its formula is given by :

$I=\dfrac{P}{A}$

$I=\dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2}$

$I=\dfrac{40\ W}{4\pi (1.7\ m)^2}$

$I=1.101\ W/m^2$

So, the intensity of light is $1.101\ W/m^2$ .

Consider a father pushing a child on a playground merry-go-round. The system has a moment of inertia of 84.4 kg.m^2. The father

Sophie [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

the initial angular velocity $\omega_o = 0$

angular acceleration $\alpha$ = 4.44 rad/s²

Using the formula:

$\omega = \omega_o+ \alpha t$

Making t the subject of the formula:

$t= \dfrac{\omega- \omega_o}{ \alpha }$

where;

$\omega = 1.53 \ rad/s^2$

∴

$t= \dfrac{1.53-0}{4.44 }$

t = 0.345 s

b)

Using the formula:

$\omega ^2 = \omega _o^2 + 2 \alpha \theta$

here;

$\theta$ = angular displacement

∴

$\theta = \dfrac{\omega^2 - \omega_o^2}{2 \alpha }$

$\theta = \dfrac{(1.53)^2 -0^2}{2 (4.44) }$

$\theta =0.264 \ rad$

Recall that:

2π rad = 1 revolution

Then;

0.264 rad = (x) revolution

$x = \dfrac{0.264 \times 1}{2 \pi}$

x = 0.042 revolutions

c)

Here; force = 270 N

radius = 1.20 m

The torque = F * r

$\tau = 270 \times 1.20 \\ \\ \tau = 324 \ Nm$

However;

From the moment of inertia;

$Torque( \tau) = I \alpha \\ \\ Since( I \alpha) = 324 \ Nm. \\ \\ Then; \\ \\ \alpha= \dfrac{324}{I}$

given that;

I = 84.4 kg.m²

$\alpha= \dfrac{324}{84.4} \\ \\ \alpha=3.84 \ rad/s^2$

For re-tardation; $\alpha=-3.84 \ rad/s^2$

Using the equation

$t= \dfrac{\omega- \omega_o}{ \alpha }$

$t= \dfrac{0-1.53}{ -3.84 }$

$t= \dfrac{1.53}{ 3.84 }$

t = 0.398s

The required time it takes= 0.398s
