2.22 m/s. Average speed is Total distance over time it took. 100m/45s = 2.22m/s

Answer:

Swimmer's velocity, v = 2.23 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Distance, d = 100 meter

Time taken by the swimmer, t = 45 seconds

We have to find the average speed of the swimmer. Average speed is equal to total distance divided by total time taken i.e.

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}$

$v=\dfrac{100\ m}{45\ s}$

v = 2.23 m/s

So, the velocity of the swimmer is 2.23 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

In an RLC series circuit that includes a source of alternating current operating at fixed frequency and voltage, the resistance

maw [93]

Answer:

Capacitive Reactance is 4 times of resistance

Solution:

As per the question:

R = $X_{L} = j\omega L = 2\pi fL$

where

R = resistance

$X_{L} = Inductive Reactance$

f = fixed frequency

Now,

For a parallel plate capacitor, capacitance, C:

$C = \frac{\epsilon_{o}A}{x}$

where

x = separation between the parallel plates

Thus

C ∝ $\frac{1}{x}$

Now, if the distance reduces to one-third:

Capacitance becomes 3 times of the initial capacitace, i.e., x' = 3x, then C' = 3C and hence Current, I becomes 3I.

Also,

$Z = \sqrt{R^{2} + (X_{L} - X_{C})^{2}}$

Also,

Z ∝ I

Therefore,

$\frac{Z}{I} = \frac{Z'}{I'}$

$\frac{\sqrt{R^{2} + (R - X_{C})^{2}}}{3I} = \frac{\sqrt{R^{2} + (R - \frac{X_{C}}{3})^{2}}}{I}$

${R^{2} + (R - X_{C})^{2}} = 9({R^{2} + (R - \frac{X_{C}}{3})^{2}})$

${R^{2} + R^{2} + X_{C}^{2} - 2RX_{C} = 9({R^{2} + R^{2} + \frac{X_{C}^{2}}{9} - 2RX_{C})$

Solving the above eqn:

$X_{C} = 4R$

When you ride a bicycle in what direction is the angular velocity of the wheels?

melomori [17]

I think that the angular velocity vector points at right angles to the direction in which the wheels are turning (spindle on an old fashioned record player ?) and so at right angles to the direction the bike is moving in. This contributes to the gyroscope effect on the wheels and bike and allows a rapidly rotating wheel to be more stable than a slowly rotating one. Problem for the trainee cyclist is to believe that they are actually more stable when their wheels are moving quickly. 'cos the tendency is to go slowly to start with, which makes balancing harder.
But then, most cyclists, especially youngsters, don't sit down all day analysing circular motion vectors, which may be just as well.
