Answer:

The average speed was 58 \frac{km}{hr} or 16.11 \frac{m}{sec}

Explanation:

Speed ​​is a physical quantity that expresses the relationship between the space traveled by an object, the time used for it and its direction. Its unit of measurement in the International System (S.I.) is the meter per second \frac{m}{s}.

So:

speed=\frac{distance}{time}

In this case you know:

  • distante= 506 km
  • time=7 hr

Replacing:

speed=\frac{406 km}{7 hr}

Solving:

speed=58 \frac{km}{hr}

Taking into account that 1 km is 1000 m and 1 hour is 60 minutes, which in turn is 60 seconds, the unit conversion is performed:

speed= 58\frac{km}{hr} * 1 000\frac{m}{km} *\frac{1}{60} \frac{hr}{minutes} *\frac{1}{60} \frac{minute}{sec}

speed=16.11 \frac{m}{sec}

<u><em>The average speed was 58 </em></u>\frac{km}{hr}<u><em> or 16.11 </em></u>\frac{m}{sec}<u><em></em></u>

"How did your current and voltage measurements differ between the series and parallel circuits you created
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Series circuit:

The voltage that is measured across the circuit is different.

The current measured in a series circuit remains the same at all points in the circuit.

Parallel circuit:

The current measured across each resistor varies

The voltage measured across a parallel circuit will remain the same

Explanation:

Series and parallel circuits behave differently when it comes to the circulation of current and the interaction with a potential difference.

In a series circuit, the resistances are connected end to end. As a result, the voltage that is measured across the circuit is different once resistance is encountered. However, the current measured in a series circuit remains the same at all points in the circuit.

A parallel circuit behaves in an exactly opposite manner to the series circuit. In a parallel circuit, the resistances are connected side by side. As a result of this, the current measured across each resistor varies as there are circuit branches through which electric current can flow into. On the other hand, the voltage measured across a parallel circuit will remain the same

A gymnast of mass 63.0 kg hangs from a vertical rope attached to the ceiling. You can ignore the weight of the rope and assume t
Sergio [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

A ) When gymnast is motionless , he is in equilibrium

T = mg

= 63 x 9.81

= 618.03 N

B )

When gymnast climbs up at a constant rate , he is still in equilibrium ie net force acting on it is zero as acceleration is zero.

T = mg

= 618.03 N

C ) If the gymnast climbs up the rope with an upward acceleration of magnitude 0.600 m/s2

Net force on it = T - mg   , acting in upward direction

T - mg = m a

T =  mg + m a

= m ( g + a )

= 63 ( 9.81 + .6)

= 655.83 N

D )  If the gymnast slides down the rope with a downward acceleration of magnitude 0.600 m/s2

Net force acting in downward direction

mg - T = ma

T = m ( g - a )

= 63 x ( 9.81 - .6 )

= 580.23 N

Under which condition does Ohm's law apply? a. The current must be constant b. The power must be constant c. The temperature mus
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

option c

Explanation:

The temperature must be constant. Ohms law states that the current running through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference across it provided the temperature remains constant

A 1.50-V battery supplies 0.414 W of power to a small flashlight. If the battery moves 4.93 1020 electrons between its terminals
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

2.86×10⁻¹⁸ seconds

Explanation:

Applying,

P = VI................ Equation 1

Where P = Power, V = Voltage, I = Current.

make I the subject of the equation

I = P/V................ Equation 2

From the question,

Given: P = 0.414 W, V = 1.50 V

Substitute into equation 2

I = 0.414/1.50

I = 0.276 A

Also,

Q = It............... Equation 3

Where Q = amount of charge, t = time

make t the subject of the equation

t = Q/I.................. Equation 4

From the question,

4.931020 electrons has a charge of (4.931020×1.6020×10⁻¹⁹) coulombs

Q = 7.899×10⁻¹⁹ C

Substitute these value into equation 4

t =  7.899×10⁻¹⁹/0.276

t = 2.86×10⁻¹⁸ seconds
