A circle has a revolution of 360°. Since there are 12 hour markings, each hour interval has an angle of 30°. In radians, that would be equal to π/6 radians. So, in every 1 hour that passes, it covers π/6 of an angle. So, the angular velocity denoted as ω is π/6 ÷ 1 hour = π/6 rad/h. We can compute the average linear velocity, v, from the relationship:

v = rω, where r is the radius of the circle which is the length of the hour hand
v = (2.4 cm)(π/6 rad/h)
v = 1.257 cm/hour

Therefore, the average velocity is 1.257 cm per hour.

For the average acceleration, it is equal to zero. The hands of the clock move at a constant velocity. Since acceleration is the change of velocity per unit time, there is no change of velocity because it's constant. That's why it is zero.

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

B - Person A's chair rolls backwards.

Explanation:

This can be seen simply through the Conservation of Momentum. When the ball is thrown to be, the ball's momentum(+m) is transfererd to B, so B's chair moves forward(think about it - it makes sense, doesn't it?), meaning A's chair moves backwards.

So, B.

If a car is moving to the left with constantvelocity, one can conclude that
jeka94

Answer:

The net force applied to the car is zero.

Explanation:

We are given that a car is moving to the left with constant velocity.

When the car moving with constant velocity

Then, the final velocity=Initial velocity

Change in velocity=Final velocity- initial velocity=0

When change in velocity is zero then , acceleration of car

a=\frac{change\;in\;velocity}{time}=\frac{0}{t}=0

When acceleration is zero then, By Newtons second law

Force=Mass\times acceleration=Mass\times 0=0

The net force applied on the car will be zero.

Option C:The net force applied to the car is zero.

Suppose that a uniform electric field exists in a certain region of space. Now consider a mathematical plane surface of area A.
____ [38]

Answer: The normal of the plane must be parallel to the electric field vector.

Explanation:

the normal to the surface is defined as a versor that is perpendicular to the plane.

Now, if the angle between this normal and the line of the field is θ, we have that the flux can be written as:

Φ = E*A*cos(θ)

Where E is the field, A is the area and θ is the angle already defined.

Now, this maximizes when θ = 0.

This means that the normal of the surface must be parallel to the electric field
