A bicyclist rides 1.86 km due east, while the resistive force from the air has a magnitude of 5.12 N and points due west. The ri

der then turns around and rides 1.86 km due west, back to her starting point. The resistive force from the air on the return trip has a magnitude of 5.12 N and points due east. Find the work done by the resistive force during the round trip.

Answer:

-19.0 kJ

Explanation:

Let's keep in mind that the direction of the resistive force is always opposite to the displacement of the bicyclist.

- In the first part of the ride:

Displacement: d = 1.86 km = 1860 m

Resistive force: F = 5.12 N

Angle between the direction of the force and the displacement: \theta=180^{\circ}

So, the work done by the resistive force is

W=Fdcos \theta =(5.12 N)(1860 m)(cos 180^{\circ})=-9523 J

- Similarly, in the second part of the ride:

Displacement: d = 1.86 km = 1860 m

Resistive force: F = 5.12 N

Angle between the direction of the force and the displacement: \theta=180^{\circ}

So, the work done by the resistive force is

W=Fdcos \theta =(5.12 N)(1860 m)(cos 180^{\circ})=-9523 J

Therefore, the total work done by the resistive force during the round trip is

W=-9523 J+(-9523 J)=-19046 J=-19.0 kJ

Complete the sentences below correctly. Stunt Car A and Stunt Car B are identical cars with the same mass of 48.9 kg. They are b
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

Stunt Car A experiences a large force over a short period of time. Stunt Car B experiences a small force over a long period of time. Because of the force experienced by Stunt Car A, it will sustain more damage than Stunt Car B.

Explanation:

Both cars have the same mass and velocity, therefore they have the same momentum. During the collision, the total momentum of the car A and brick wall is conserved as well as the total momentum of the car B and the pile of leaves.

However, if we are to investigate the damage on each car, we should look at the cars not the whole system. So, the momentum difference between the cars gives us the impulse that the car felt.

\vec{J} = \Delta \vec{P}\\\vec{F}\Delta t = \vec{P}_2 - \vec{P}_1

Since the Car A will crash the wall quicker than the other car crashes through the pile of leaves,

\Delta t_1 < \Delta t_2

which gives us

F_1 > F_2

A velocity selector is built with a magnetic field of magnitude 5.2 T and an electric field of strength 4.6 × 10 ^ 4 N/C. The di
nydimaria [60]

Explanation :

Magnetic field, B = 5.2 T

Electric field, E=4.6\times 10^4\ N/C

The directions of the two fields are perpendicular to each other. Hence the force due to each field will equate each other.

Electrostatic force, F =qE.........(1)

Magnetic force, F = qvB........(2)

From equation (1) and (2)

   E = v B

v=\dfrac{E}{B}

v=\dfrac{4.6\times 10^4\ N/C}{5.2\ T}

v=0.88\times 10^4\ m/s

v=8.8\times 10^3\ m/s

Hence, the correct option is (a).

(2) A permanent magnet always has two poles as the North pole and south pole. The magnetic field lines start from north poles and terminate at the south pole of the magnet.

Hence, the correct option is (C).

Three noise sources produce volume (loudness) levels of 70, 73, and 80 dB when acting separately. When the sources act together,
Mashutka [201]

Sound at 70 dB is 70 dB louder than the human reference level.  That's 10⁷ times as much as the reference sound power.

Sound at 73 dB is 73 dB louder than the human reference level.  That's 10⁷.³  or  2 x 10⁷  times as much as the reference sound power.

Sound at 80 dB is 80 dB louder than the human reference level.  That's 10⁸  or 10 x 10⁷ times as much as the reference sound power.

Now we can adumup:

Intensity of all 3 sources = (10⁷) + (2 x 10⁷) + (10 x 10⁷)

Intensity = (13 x 10⁷) times the sound power reference intensity.

Intensity in dB = 10 log (13 x 10⁷) = 10 (7 + log(13)

Intensity = 70 + 10 log(13)

Intensity = 70 + 10 (1.114)

Intensity = 70 + 11.14

Intensity = <em>81.14 dB</em>

Looking at the questioner's profile, I seriously wonder whether I'll ever get a comment in return from this creature, and how I'll ever find out if my solution is correct.  For that matter, I'm also seriously questioning how and whether my solution will ever be used for anything.

An object moving with a speed of 35 m/s and has a mass of 75kg what is the kinetic energy
professor190 [17]

Answer:

KE= 656.25 J

Explanation:

KE= ?

m= 75 kg

v= 35 m/s

KE= 1/2 (75)(35)^2

KE= (37.5)(17.5)

KE= 656.25 J

Jessie draws a ray diagram to show how an image of a candle is produced by a concave mirror when the candle is placed in front o
irina1246 [14]
There are two rules of reflection for the concave mirror:
1)<span>Any incident ray traveling parallel to the principal axis on the way to the mirror will pass through the focal point upon reflection.
2)</span><span>Any incident ray passing through the focal point on the way to the mirror will travel parallel to the principal axis upon reflection.
Also, keep in that for concave mirror center of curvature is 2f.
Using these two rules we can construct the image. 
You should always use these two "special" rays, I will mark then 1 and 2 on the picture.
From the picture, we can see that if you place the object between the focus and vertex you get the virtual image.
The answer is: object should be between the focal point and the vertex</span>
