This exercise has redundant information to mislead someone. You have the answer in the third sentence.

If the train completes 60 miles trip in one hour then the average speed is 60mph.

Answer:

Given that the train which is heading north on the tracks takes 6 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour and completes the entire 60 mile trip in one hour, we can calculate the train's average speed and velocity over the one hour trip. Now right off the bat we know that the measurement we calculate for the train's average SPEED will be a scalar quantity as we are dealing with speed. On the other hand the measurement we calculate for the train's velocity will be a vector quantity as we are dealing with velocity and the quantity has both a magnitude and a direction. Now: we now that the train completed the entire 60 mile trip in one hour which means it is going 60 mph north, which is the velocity This velocity has both a magnitude (60 mph) and a direction (north). For the train's average speed we look at distance divided by time. The speed of the train is 60 miles per hour. The difference between speed and velocity is that speed is how fast an object is going with respect to a frame of reference versus velocity is a measure of the speed and direction of an object.

A car with speed v and an identical car with speed 2v both travel the same circular section of an unbanked road. If the friction
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

F'=\dfrac{F}{4}

Explanation:

Let m is the mass of both cars. The first car is moving with speed v and the other car is moving with speed 2v. The only force acting on both cars is the centripetal force.

For faster car on the road,

F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

v = 2v

F=\dfrac{m(2v)^2}{r}

F=4\dfrac{m(v)^2}{r}..........(1)

For the slower car on the road,

F'=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}............(2)

Equation (1) becomes,

F=4F'

F'=\dfrac{F}{4}

So, the frictional force required to keep the slower car on the road without skidding is one fourth of the faster car.

g The current through a 10 m long wire has a current density of 4 cross times 10 to the power of 6 space open parentheses bevell
olga55 [171]

Answer:

The value is V  =  2 V

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the wire is l = 10 \ m

The current density is J =  4*10^6 \  A/m^2

The conductivity is \sigma  =  2*10^{7} \  S/m

Generally conductivity is mathematically represented as

\sigma  =  \frac{l}{RA}

Here R is the resistance which is mathematically represented as

R =  \frac{V}{I}

Here I is the current which is mathematically represented as

I  =  J * A

So

R =  \frac{V}{  J * A}

And

\sigma  =  \frac{l}{\frac{V}{  J * A} * A}

=> \sigma  =  \frac{l}{\frac{V}{J}}

=> V = \frac{l * J}{\sigma }

=> V = \frac{10  * 4*10^6}{2*10^{7}  }

=> V  =  2 V

A string of length L, fixed at both ends, is capable of vibrating at 309 Hz in its first harmonic. However, when a finger is pla
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

 i = 0.3326 L

Explanation:

A fixed string at both ends presents a phenomenon of standing waves, two waves with the same frequency that are added together. The expression to describe these waves is

    2 L = n λ           n = 1, 2, 3…

The first harmonic or leather for n = 1

Wave speed is related to wavelength and frequency

     v = λ f

     λ = v / f

Let's replace in the first equation

    2 L = 1 (v / f₁)

For the shortest length L = L-l

   2 (L- l) = 1 (v / f₂)

These two equations form our equation system, let's eliminate v

    v = 2L f₁

    v = 2 (L-l) f₂

    2L f₁ = 2 (L-l) f₂

    L- l = L f₁ / f₂

    l = L - L f₁ / f₂

    l = L (1- f₁ / f₂)

.

Let's calculate

    l / L = (1- 309/463)

    i / L = 0.3326

The voltage across the terminals of a 9.0 v battery is 8.5 v when the battery is connected to a 60 ω load. part a what is the ba
snow_lady [41]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

i = the current in the circuit., A
R₁ = the internal resistance of the battery, Ω
R₂ = the resistance of the 60 W load, Ω

Because the resistance across the battery is 8.5 V instead of 9.0 V, therefore
(R₁ )(i A) = 9 - 8.5 = (0.5 V)
R₁*i = 0.5         (10

Also,
R₂*i = 9.5         (2)

Because the power dissipated by R₂ is 60 W, therefore
i²R₂ = 60
From (2), obtain
i*9.5 = 60
i = 6.3158 A

From (1), obtain
6.3158*R₁ = 0.5
R₁ = 0.5/6.3158 = 0.0792 Ω = 0.08 Ω (nearest hundredth)

Answer: 0.08 Ω
