A boat traveled at a constant speed for 5 hours, covering a total distance of 132.3 kilometers. how fast was it going?

1 answer:

4 0

Velocity = distance (m) /time (s)

convert kilometers to metres (132300), substitute into formula.

convert hours to seconds (18000), substitute into formula. it becomes,

132300 divided by 18000 = 7.35 M/S

always answer questions in the units given in the question.

to get m/s into km/h, multiply by 3.6, therefore it equals 24.46 km/h

Answer:

(a) Negative Q

(b) Positive Q

Explanation:

Charge is the inherent property of matter due to the transference of electrons.

There are three methods of charging a body.

(i) Charging by friction: When two uncharged bodies rubbed together, then one body gets positive charged and the other is negatively charges it is due to the transference of electrons form one body to another.

(ii) Conduction: when a charged body comes in contact with the another uncharged body, the uncharged body gets the same charge and the charge is distributed equally.

(iii) Induction: When a uncharged body keep near the charged body, the uncharged body gets the same amount of charge but opposite in sign.

(a) When a small tack of charge Q is lowered into the hole, then due to the process of induction, the charge on the inner surface of the shell is - Q.

(b) Due to the process of conduction, the charge on the outer surface of the shell is Q.

Which of the following statements are true concerning the creation of magnetic fields?

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

A moving electric charge creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

An electric current in a conductor creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

A permanent magnet creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

Explanation:

Magnetic field can be produced by:

- moving charges (i.e. a moving electron, or a current in a conductor)

- A magnet

The strength of the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying wire is

$B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}$

where

I is the current

r is the distance from the wire

As we see from the formula, the magnetic field is produced at all points in the surrounding region, because B becomes zero only when r becomes infinite. The same is true for the magnetic field created by a single moving charge or by a magnet.

The following choices instead are not correct:

- A single stationary electric charge creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

- A distribution of electric charges at rest creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

Because they involve the presence of stationary charges, and stationary charges do not produce magnetic fields.

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Centripetal Acceleration = 88826.44 m/s²

RCF = 9054.7

Explanation:

First, we will find the value of the centripetal acceleration by using the following formula:

$Centripetal\ Acceleration = \frac{v^2}{r}\\$

where,

v = linear speed of liquid or separator = rω

ω = angular speed of liquid or separator = (9000 rpm)(2π rad/rev)(1 min/60 s) = 942.48 rad/s

r = radius of seperator = diameter/2 = 20 cm/2 = 10 cm = 0.1 m

Therefore,

$Centripetal\ Acceleration = \frac{(r\omega)^2}{r}\\Centripetal\ Acceleration = r\omega^2\\Centripetal\ Acceleration = (0.1\ m)(942.48\ rad/s)^2\\$

<u>Centripetal Acceleration = 88826.44 m/s²</u>

Now, for the RCF:

$RCF = \frac{Centripetal\ Acceleration}{g}\\RCF = \frac{88826.44\ m/s^2}{9.81\ m/s^2}\\$
