A squirrel is running a race where she is on track for her average velocity to be 6.0 m/s. She is distracted by a dummy of an at

tractive male squirrel and pauses for 3.0 s. As a result her average velocity ends up being 5.0 m/s instead. What is the length of the race? [HINT: construct two equations with the same two unknowns in them and you can solve the system of equations]

Answer:

90 m

Explanation:

There are two unknowns: the amount of time the squirrel spent running, and the length of the race.  Let's call these t and x, respectively.

The average velocity is the total distance divided by the total time.

5.0 m/s = x / (t + 3.0)

The total distance is the time she spent running times the speed she ran at.

x = (6.0 m/s) t

Substitute and solve:

5 = 6t / (t + 3)

5 (t + 3) = 6t

5t + 15 = 6t

t = 15

She ran for 15 seconds (not including the 3 seconds she stopped).  So the length of the race is:

x = (6.0 m/s) (15 s)

x = 90 m

As a rock sinks deeper and deeper into water of constant density, what happens to the buoyant force on it? As a rock sinks deepe
Sidana [21]

Answer:

It remains constant

Explanation:

As we know that buoyant force on an object given as

Fb = ρ Vd g

ρ= Density of fluid

Vd=Volume displace by body

g=10 m/s²

Fb =buoyant force

So from above we can say that buoyant force does not depends on the depth. It only depends on the fluid density and volume displace by body.

So when rock gets deeper and deeper the buoyant force will remain constant.

It remains constant

A vector has an x-component
9966 [12]

Explanation:

The magnitude of a vector v can be found using Pythagorean's theorem.

||v|| = √(vₓ² + vᵧ²)

||v|| = √((-309)² + (187)²)

||v|| ≈ 361

You can find the angle of a vector using trigonometry.

tan θ = vᵧ / vₓ

tan θ = 187 / -309

θ ≈ 149° or θ ≈ 329°

vₓ is negative and vᵧ is positive, so θ must be in the second quadrant.  Therefore, θ ≈ 149°.

A red blood cell contains 4.8 107 free electrons. What is the total charge of these electrons in the red blood cell?
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Charge, q=7.68\times 10^{-12}\ C

Explanation:

It is given that,

The number of electron in a RBCs, n=4.8\times 10^7

We need to find the total charge of these electrons in the red blood cell. Let it is q. Using the quantization of charge as follows :

q = ne

e is the change on electron

q=4.8\times 10^7\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\\\\q=7.68\times 10^{-12}\ C

So, the net charge is 7.68\times 10^{-12}\ C.
