Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

change in speed = (speed at the end) - (speed at the beginning)

change in speed = (37 km/hr) - (89 km/hr) = -52 km/hr

Acceleration = (-52 km/hr) / (6 sec)

Acceleration = (-26/3) km/(hr·sec)

Units: (1/hr·sec) · (hr/3600 sec) = 1 / 3600 sec²

(-26/3) km/(hr·sec) = (-26/3) km/(3600 sec²)

= -26,000/(3 · 3600) m/s²

<em>Acceleration = -2.41 m/s²</em>

Explain where most of the mass of an atom is located. Also, explain why some particles that make up the atom do not contribute m

Naddika [18.5K]

Within an atom, there are three elementary particles: the proton, neutron, and electron. Most of the mass of an atom is situated within the nucleus, which is the central part of the atom. It is made up of protons and neutrons, which are the heaviest subatomic particles. The electrons within the atom, orbit around the nucleus at a very far distance. Electrons are also a part of the lightest group of subatomic particles called leptons. That is why these electrons don't contribute much to the majority of an atoms mass. They are very light and they orbit at very far distances.

This model shows an example of a fog bank formation. This can happen in the Great Lakes area as warm summer air moves across the

Vadim26 [7]

Fog bank formation occurs when the moisture in the cooled air condenses, forming a thick fog.

<h3>How Fog banks formed?</h3>

Fog banks form at sea where cool air moves quickly over the surface of the ocean that is warm. The cool incoming air lowers the temperature of the air just above the water surface and water vapor condenses into fog.

So we can conclude that Fog bank formation occurs when the moisture in the cooled air condenses, forming a thick fog.

This question involves the concepts of the law of conservation of energy and kinetic energy.

The girl's fastest speed is "3.7 m/s".

According to the law of conservation of energy, the girl will have the fastest speed at mean position, which will be calculated as follows:

Loss in Potential Energy = Gain in Kinetic Energy

$mg\Delta h=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\v=\sqrt{2g\Delta h}$

where,

v = maximum speed = ?

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Δh = change in height = 1.3 m - 0.6 m = 0.7 m

Therefore,

$v=\sqrt{2(9.81\ m/s^2)(0.7\ m)}$

<u>v = 3.7 m/s</u>

<u></u>

61. A physics student has a single-occupancy dorm room. The student has a small refrigerator that runs with a current of 3.00 A

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Part a)

$percentage = 21.3$ %

Part b)

$percentage = 2.13 \times 10^{-5}$ %

Explanation:

As we know that total power used in the room is given as

$P = P_1 + P_2 + P_3 + P_4$

here we have

$P_1 = (110)(3) = 330 W$

$P_2 = 100 W$

$P_3 = 60 W$

$P_4 = 3 W$

$P = 330 + 100 + 60 + 3$

$P = 493 W$

Part a)

Since power supply is at 110 Volt so the current obtained from this supply is given as

$110\times i = 493$

$i = 4.48 A$

now resistance of transmission line

$R = \frac{\rho L}{A}$

$R = \frac{(2.8 \times 10^{-8})(10\times 10^3)}{\pi(4.126\times 10^{-3})^2}$

$R = 5.23 \ohm$

now power loss in line is given as

$P = i^2 R$

$P = (4.48)^2(5.23)$

$P = 105 W$

Now percentage loss is given as

$percentage = \frac{loss}{supply} \times 100$

$percentage = \frac{105}{493} \times 100$

$percentage = 21.3$ %

Part b)

now same power must have been supplied from the supply station at 110 kV, so we have

$110 \times 10^3 (i ) = 493$

$i = 4.48\times 10^{-3} A$

now power loss in line is given as

$P = i^2 R$

$P = (4.48 \times 10^{-3})^2(5.23)$

$P = 1.05 \times 10^{-4} W$

Now percentage loss is given as

$percentage = \frac{loss}{supply} \times 100$

$percentage = \frac{1.05 \times 10^{-4}}{493} \times 100$

$percentage = 2.13 \times 10^{-5}$ %
