Micha ran 2 miles north in 20 minutes. She then turned back and ran 1 mile in 15 minutes. To cool down, she walked the rest of t

he way home. It took her 20 minutes.
What was Micha's average velocity for her run north?

What was Micha's average velocity for the whole trip?

What was her average speed for her entire jog?

1) The average velocity while running north is 6 mph

2) The average velocity for the whole trip is zero

3) The average speed for the whole trip is 4.4 mph

Explanation:

1)

The average velocity is defined as:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d is the displacement

t is the time interval

Here we want to analyze the motion of Micha while she runs north only. The displacement is the distance in a straight line between the initial position and final position, so

d=2 miles

while the time interval is

t=20 min = \frac{1}{3}h

So, the average velocity is

v=\frac{2}{1/3}=6 mph

and the direction is the same as the displacement (north).

2)

As we said, the displacement is the distance in a straight line between the initial position and final position of motion.

If we consider the whole trip, the final position of the Micha is equal to her initial position, since she walked back to home: therefore,

displacement = d = 0

And so, the average velocity is also zero:

v=0

3)

The average speed is defined as

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d is the distance covered

t is the time interval considered

The distance covered is just the length of the total path covered regardless of the direction, so for the entire jog we have:

d = 2 mi + 2 mi = 4 miles

(since she runs 2 miles north and then another 2 miles back)

The total time is

t=20 min + 15 min + 20 min = 55 min = \frac{55}{60}h = \frac{11}{12}h

So, the average speed is

v=\frac{4}{11/12}=\frac{48}{11} mph = 4.4 mph

The Capacitive reactance of a 0.094uF capacitor when a frequency of 25kHz is applied is lus 68 Ohms 0.68 Ohms luf
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Capacitive reactance of the capacitor is 68 ohms

Explanation:

It is given that,

Capacitance, C=0.094\ \mu F=0.094\times 10^{-6}\ F

Frequency, f=25\ kHz=25\times 10^3\ Hz

Capacitive reactance is given by :

X_C=\dfrac{1}{2\pi fC}

X_C=\dfrac{1}{2\pi 25\times 10^3\times 0.094\times 10^{-6}}

X_C=67.72\ \Omega

or

X_C=68\ \Omega

So, the capacitive reactance of the capacitor is 68 ohms. Hence, this is the required solution.

A person is pulling their 20 kg luggage using the luggage handle. The handle is at an angle of 56 degrees above the horizontal.
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:  a = 1.99 m/s²

Explanation:

Data

mass = 20 kg

angle = 56°

Force = 71 N

horizontal acceleration = ?

Process

Find the horizontal force

                                           cos Ф = adjacent side / hypotenuse

                                          adjacent side = hypotenuse x cosФ

                                          adjacent side = 71 x cos 56

                                          a.s. = 39.70 N

Newton's second law

                                  F = ma

                                  a = F/m

                                 a = 39.7 / 20

                                  a = 1.99 m/s²

Find the ratio of the gravitational force between two planets if the masses of both planets are quadrupled but the distance betw
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The ratio of the new force over the original force is 16

Explanation:

Recall the formula for the gravitational force between two masses M1 and M2 separated a distance D:

F_G=G\,\frac{M_1\,\,M_2}{D^2}

So now, if the masses M1 and M2 are quadrupled and the distance stays the same, the new force becomes:

F'_G=G\,\frac{4M_1\,\,4M_2}{D^2}=G\,\frac{16\,\,M_1\,\,M_2}{D^2}=16\,\,G\,\frac{M_1\,\,M_2}{D^2}= 16\,\,F_G

which is 16 times the original force.

So the ratio of the new force over the original force is 16

A steel pot has a bottom with a cross sectional area of .1m2 and has a thickness of 1cm. The pot is filled with boiling water an
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

840000 J/min

Explanation:

Area = A = 0.1 m²

Bottom of pot temperature = 200 °C

Thermal conductivity = k = 14 J/sm°C

Thickness = L = 1 cm = 0.01 m

Temperature of boiling water = 100 °C

From the law of heat conduction

Q = kAΔT/L

⇒ Q = 14×0.1×(200-100)/0.01

⇒ Q = 14000 J/s

Converting to J/minute

Q = 14000×60 = 840000 J/min

∴ Heat being conducted through the pot is 840000 J/min
