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.

The voltage V in a simple electrical circuit is slowly decreasing as the battery wears out. The resistance R is slowly increasin
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

The current in the circuit decrease slowly .

Explanation:

Given as :

For the electrical circuit

The voltage V in the circuit is slowly decreasing

The resistance R of the resistor slowly increasing after heating

Now, From Ohm's Law

Voltage is directly proportional to the flow of current through circuit

I.e V ∝ I

Or. V = R × I

where R is the proportionate constant and this is the resistance of the resistor

whose property is to opposes the flow of current in the circuit

So, If R value more then current I reduces in the circuit

∵ Here in the circuit ,  The resistance is slowly increasing, so, current I is slowly decreasing .

Hence The current in the circuit decrease slowly . answer

When a man returns to his well-sealed house on a summer day, he finds that the house is at 35°C. He turns on the air conditioner
Paul [167]

Answer:

1353.38 Watt

Explanation:

T₁ = Initial temperature of the house = 35°C

T₂ = Final temperature of the house = 20°C

Δt = Time taken to cool the house = 38 min = 38×60 = 2280 s

m = mass of air in the house = 800 kg

Cv = Specific heat at constant volume = 0.72 kJ/kgK

Cp = Specific heat at constant pressure = 1.0 kJ/kgK

Heat removed

q = mCvΔT

⇒q = 800×720×(35-20)

⇒q = 8640000 J

Average rate of hear removal

Q=\frac{q}{\Delta t}\\\Rightarrow Q=\frac{8640000}{2280}\\\Rightarrow Q=3789.47\ W

COP=\frac{Q}{W}\\\Rightarrow W=\frac{Q}{COP}\\\Rightarrow W=\frac{3789.47}{2.8}\\\Rightarrow W=1353.38\ W

∴ Power drawn by the air conditioner is 1353.38 Watt

A 1 200-kg car traveling initially at vCi 5 25.0 m/s in an easterly direction crashes into the back of a 9 000-kg truck moving i
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The velocity of the truck after the collision is 20.93 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of car, m₁ = 1200 kg

Initial velocity of the car, v_{Ci}=25\ m/s

Mass of truck, m₂ = 9000 kg

Initial velocity of the truck, v_{Ti}=20\ m/s

After the collision, velocity of the car, v_{Cf}=18\ m/s

Let v is the velocity of the truck immediately after the collision. The momentum of the system remains conversed.

initial\ momentum=final\ momentum

1200\ kg\times 25\ m/s+9000\ kg\times 20\ m/s=1200\ kg\times 18+9000\ kg\times v

210000-21600=9000\ kg\times v

v=20.93\ m/s

So, the velocity of the truck after the collision is 20.93 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
