If the runner ends where she started, then her total displacement is \Delta x=0\,\mathrm m, which means her average velocity will be

\bar v=\dfrac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}=\dfrac{0\,\mathrm m}{4.0\,\mathrm{min}\cdot\frac{60\,\mathrm s}{1\,\mathrm{min}}=0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}

The total distance she traversed, however, was \Delta d=800\,\mathrm m, which gives her an average speed of

\bar s=\dfrac{\Delta d}{\Delta t}=\dfrac{800\,\mathrm m}{4.0\,\mathrm{min}\cdot\frac{60\,\mathrm s}{1\,\mathrm{min}}=3.3\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}

A straight wire segment 5 m long makes an angle of 30° with a uniform magnetic field of 0.37 T. Find the magnitude of the force
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force on the wire is 2.68 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the wire, L = 5 m

Magnetic field, B = 0.37 T

Angle between wire and the magnetic field, \theta=30^{\circ}

Current in the wire, I = 2.9 A

We need to find the magnitude of the force on the wire. The magnetic force in the wire is given by :

F=BIL\ \sin\theta\\\\F=0.37\ T\times 2.9\ A\times 5\ m\times \ \sin(30)\\\\F=2.68\ N

So, the magnitude of the force on the wire is 2.68 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

19. A 0.0340 kg bullet traveling at 120 m/s embeds itself in a 1.24 kg wooden block which
Blababa [14]

Answer: x ≈ 36.3 cm

Explanation:

Conservation of momentum during the collision

0.0340(120) + 1.24(0) = (0.0340 + 1.24) v

v = 3.2025 m/s

The kinetic energy of the block/bullet mass will convert to spring potential

½kx² = ½mv²

x = √(mv²/k)

x = √(1.274(3.2025²) / 99.0)

x = 0.363293... ≈ 36.3 cm

Why are the outlets in homes never wired in series? What problems might this present?
rosijanka [135]
A series circuit means that there is only one current. Which means that everything is sharing that one wire. Homes are normally wired with a parallel circuit, which means that there is more than one current running through the house. If you have a series, if you turn on one thing for example a light switch, than everything will turn on with it. But of you have  a parallel you can turn on everything one by one, and save energy.

Trust me. I just took my semester test in physical science this morning, and I passed. This is exactly what we learned. <span />

Two loudspeakers are placed side by side and driven by the same source at 500 Hz. A listener is positioned in front of the two s
Oliga [24]

Answer:

0.68 m

Explanation:

We know that the speed of sound in air is a product of frequency and wavelength. Taking speed of sound in air as 340 m/s

V=frequency*wavelength

Then wavelength is given by 350/500=0.68 m

Therefore, to repeat constructive interference at the listener's ear, a distance of 0.68 m is needed
