A rural mail carrier logged the mileage on the odometer at the start of the mail route as 31,500 miles. After 6.5 hours, the car

rier returned the truck and recorded the mileage at 31,713 miles. What was the average velocity of the mail truck? Explain your reasoning.

Answer: $32.77\ mi/hr$

Explanation:

Given

Initially Reading on the odometer is $31,500\ miles$

Final reading on the odometer is $31,713\ miles$

Time taken is $t=6.5\ hr$

average velocity $=\dfrac{\text{Displacement}}{\text{time}}$

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{31713-31500}{6.5}$

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{213}{6.5}$

$v_{avg}=32.77\ mi/hr$

Thus the average velocity of mail truck is $32.77\ mi/hr$

"Sarah is out playing fetch with her dog, and throws a tennis ball as far as she can. At the moment the ball reaches its maximum

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

<h2>a.The ball's vertical acceleration is downwards.</h2><h2>e.The ball's horizontal acceleration is zero</h2>

Explanation:

We are given that Sarah throws a tennis ball as far as she can.

At the moment the ball reaches its maximum height.

We have to find the true statement if air resistance is neglect.

When air resistance is negligible then the force act on the ball is force due to gravity.

The ball throw vertically then the acceleration act on the ball is acceleration due to gravity.

The value of g=-9.8 m/square sec

It acts on the ball in downward direction .

Therefore, the ball's vertical acceleration is downwards.

The horizontal acceleration is zero because the ball reaches at maximum height then there is no force which act in horizontal direction on the ball.

Therefore, horizontal acceleration of the ball is zero.

Hence, option a and e are true.

A small segment of wire contains 10 nC of charge. The segment is shrunk to one-third of its original length. A proton is very fa

Alik [6]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the electric field, linear charge density and electrostatic force.

The electric field is

$E = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}$

Here,

$\lambda$ = Linear charge density

$\epsilon_0$ = Permittivity of free space

r = Distance

The linear charge density can be written as,

Linear charge density is given as

$\lambda = \frac{q}{L}$

Replacing,

$E = \frac{\frac{q}{L}}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}$

$E = \frac{q}{2\pi \epsilon_0 rL}$

The initial and final electric Force can be written as function of the charge and the electric field as

$F_i = E_i q$

$F_f = E_f q$

If we replace the value for the electric field we have,

$F_i = (\frac{q}{2\pi \epsilon_0 rL})q = (\frac{q^2}{2\pi \epsilon_0 rL})$

Length is one third at the end, then

$F_f = (\frac{q}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r(L/3)})q = (\frac{3q^2}{2\pi \epsilon_0 rL})$

The ratio of the force is

$\frac{F_f}{F_i} = \frac{(\frac{3q^2}{2\pi \epsilon_0 rL})}{(\frac{q^2}{2\pi \epsilon_0 rL})}$

$\frac{F_f}{F_i} = 3$

Therefore the required ratio is 3
