When Jim and Rob ride bicycles, Jim can only accelerate at three-quarters the acceleration of Rob. Both startfrom rest at the bo

Answer:

46.4 s

Explanation:

5 minutes = 60 * 5 = 300 seconds

Let g = 9.8 m/s2. And $\theta$ be the slope of the road, s be the distance of the road, a be the acceleration generated by Rob, 3a/4 is the acceleration generated by Jim . Both of their motions are subjected to parallel component of the gravitational acceleration $gsin\theta$

Rob equation of motion can be modeled as s = a_Rt_R^2/2 = a300^2/2 = 45000a[/tex]

Jim equation of motion is $s = a_Jt_J^2/2 = (3a/4)t_J^2/2 = 3at_J^2/8$

As both of them cover the same distance

$45000a = 3at_J^2/8$

$t_J^2 = 45000*8/3 = 120000$

$t_J = \sqrt{120000} = 346.4 s$

So Jim should start 346.4 – 300 = 46.4 seconds earlier than Rob in other to reach the end at the same time

Answer:

The charge flows in coulombs is

$dq=1.843x10^{-5}C$

Explanation:

The current magnitude of current is given by the resistance and the induced Emf as:

$I=N*\frac{dF}{Rdt}$

$\frac{dq}{dt}=\frac{dF}{Rdt}=dq=N*\frac{dF}{R}$

$dq=\frac{N*\beta*A*(Cos(\alpha_f)-Cos(\alpha_i}{R}$

$N=1300$ , $\beta=0.703$ , $A=\pi*r^2=\pi*0.10^2=0.01\pi m^2$ , $R=99.4+202=301.4$ Ω

$\alpha_f=14.6$ , $\alpha_i=165.4$

Replacing :

$dq=\frac{1300*0.703x10^{-4}*0.01\pi*(0.9667-(-0.9667))}{202+99.4}$

$dq=1.843x10^{-5}C$

Steel blocks A and B, which have equal masses, are at TA = 300 oC and T8 = 400 oC. Block C, with mc - 2mA, is at TC = 350 oC. Bl

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

b) TA = TB = TC

Explanation:

When put in contact each other, and isolated, both blocks will exchange heat till they reach to thermal equilibrium.
During this process, the body at a higher temperature, will loss heat, tat it will be gained by the other body.
The equilibrium condition will be reached when the following equation be met:

$\Delta Q = c_{st}* m_{A} * (T_{fin} - T_{0A} ) = c_{st}* m_{B} * (T_{0B} - T_{fin} )$

Replacing by the values of T₀A = 300º C, and T₀B = 400ºC, and simplifying common terms as mA = mB, we can solve for Tfin, as follows:

$(400 \ºC - T_{fin}) = (T_{fin} - 300 \ºC) \\ \\ 2* T_{fin} = 700\ºC\\ \\ T_{fin} = 350\ºC$

So, when both blocks reach to equilibrium, they will be at a common final temperature, 350ºC.
When put in contact with block C, at the same temperature, at that instant, the three blocks will have the same common temperature of 350 ºC.
So, option b) is the right one.

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

a) > x<-c(1,2,3,4,5)

> y<-c(1.9,3.5,3.7,5.1,6)

> linearmodel<-lm(y~x)

And the output is given by:

> linearmodel

Call:

lm(formula = y ~ x)

Coefficients:

(Intercept) x

1.10 0.98

b) $y = 0.98 x +1.10$

And if we compare this with the general model $y = mx +b$

We see that the slope is m= 0.98 and the intercept b = 1.10

Explanation:

Part a

For this case we have the following data:

x: 1,2,3,4,5

y: 1.9,3.5,3.7,5.1, 6

For this case we can use the following R code:

> x<-c(1,2,3,4,5)

> y<-c(1.9,3.5,3.7,5.1,6)

> linearmodel<-lm(y~x)

And the output is given by:

> linearmodel

Call:

lm(formula = y ~ x)

Coefficients:

(Intercept) x

1.10 0.98

Part b

For this case we have the following trend equation given:

$y = 0.98 x +1.10$

And if we compare this with the general model $y = mx +b$

We see that the slope is m= 0.98 and the intercept b = 1.10
