Answer:

120 miles

Explanation:

Speed = distance traveled/ time taken.

Distance traveled = speed * time taken

Speed = 40 miles per hour, time = 3 hours.

Distance = 40*3

The train's traveled distance is 120 miles.

What happens to a circuit's resistance (R), voltage (V), and current (1) when

hammer [34]

Answer:

R increases

V is constant

I decreases

Explanation:

The resistance of a wire is given by the following formula:

$R = \frac{(Resistivity)(L)}{A}$

It is clear from this formula that resistance is directly proportional to the length of wire. So, when length of wire is increased, the resistance of circuit increases.

The voltage in the circuit will be constant as the voltage source remains same and it is not changed.

Now, we can use Ohm Law:

V = IR

at constant V:

I ∝ 1/R

it means that current is inversely proportional to resistance. Hence, the increase of resistance causes the current in circuit to decrease.

Therefore, the correct option will be:

D.

R increases

V is constant

I decreases

Three point charges are arranged along the x-axis. Charge q1 = +3.00 uC is at the origin, and charge q2= -5.00 uC is at x= 0.200

artcher [175]

We have all the charges for q1, q2, and q3.
Since k = 8.988x10^2, and N=m^2/c^2

F(1) = F (2on1) + F (3on1)

F(2on1) = k |q1 q2| / r(the distance between the two)^2
k^ | 3x10^-6 x -5 x 10^-6 | / (.2m)^2
F(2on1) = 3.37 N

Since F1 is 7N,

F(1) = F (2on1) + F (3on1)
7N = 3.37 N + F (3on1)

Since it wil be going in the negative direction,
-7N = 3.37 N + F (3on1)
F(3on1) = -10.37N

F(3on1) = k |q1 q3| / r(the distance between the two)^2
r^2 x F(3on1) = k |q1 q3|
r = sqrt of k |q1 q3| / F(3on1)
= .144 m (distance between q1 and q3)
0 - .144m

So it's located in -.144m

A 200kg ball on the end of string is swung in horizontal circle with radius of 0.5m . The ball makes revolution every 2second th

ANEK [815]

Answer: $\dfrac{\pi}{2} ms^{-1}$

Explanation:

Let $T$ be the time required to make one revolution.

Let $r$ be the radius of the circular path.

Let $d$ be the distance travelled by ball in one revolution.

As we know,the distance travelled in one revolution is the circumference of the circle.

So, $d=2\pi r$

Given, $d=0.5m\\T=2sec$

$d=2\times \pi \times 0.5=\pi m$

Speed of an object moving is circular path is define as the ratio of distance travelled in one revolution to the time taken by the object to complete one revolution.

Let $s$ be the speed of the ball.

$s=\frac{d}{T}=\frac{\pi }{2}ms^{-1}$

So,the speed of the ball is $\frac{\pi }{2}ms^{-1}$

Define wavelength as it relates to the electromagnetic spectrum.

swat32

The electromagnetic spectrum is traditionally divided into regions of radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet rays, x rays, and gamma rays. ... Wavelength defines the distance between adjacent points of the electromagnetic wave that are in equal phase (e.g., wavecrests)

Does the theory of relativity show that Newtonian mechanics is wrong?

valina [46]

Answer:

Einstein extended the rules of Newton for high speeds. For applications of mechanics at low speeds, Newtonian ideas are almost equal to reality. That is the reason we use Newtonian mechanics in practice at low speeds.

Explanation:

But on a conceptual level, Einstein did prove Newtonian ideas quite wrong in some cases, e.g. the relativity of simultaneity. But again, in calculations, Newtonian ideas give pretty close to correct answer in low-speed regimes. So, the numerical validity of Newtonian laws in those regimes is something that no one can ever prove completely wrong - because they have been proven correct experimentally to a good approximation.
