Answer:

605 km

Explanation:

Hello

the same units of measure should be used, then

Step 1

convert  42 m/s ⇒   km/h

1 km =1000 m

1 h = 36000 sec

42 \frac{m}{s}*\frac{1\ km}{1000\ m}=0.042\ \frac{km}{s}\\ 0.042\ \frac{km}{s}\\

0.042\ \frac{km}{s}*\frac{3600\ s}{1\ h} =151.2 \frac{km}{h}\\ \\Velocity =151.2\ \frac{km}{h}

Step 2

find kilometers traveled after 4  hours

V=\frac{s}{t}\\ \\

V,velocity

s, distance traveled

t. time

now, isolating s

V=\frac{s}{t} \\s=V * t\\

and replacing

s=V * t\\s=151.2\frac{km}{h}*4 hours\\ s=604.8 km\\

S=604.8 Km

Have a great day

If you push a crate across a factory floor at constant speed in a constant direction, what is the magnitude of the force of fric
poizon [28]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push

Explanation:

Since the crate moves at a constant speed, there is no net acceleration and thus, my push is balanced by the frictional force on the crate. So, the magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push.

Let F = push and f = frictional force and f' = net force

F - f = f' since the crate moves at constant speed, acceleration is zero and thus f' = ma = m (0) = 0

So, F - f = 0

Thus, F = f

So, the magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push.

A circular loop of wire with radius r=0.0250 m and resistance r=0.390 ohms is in a region of spatially uniform magnetic field. t
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

0.0133 A

Explanation:

The time at which B=1.33 T is given by  

1.33 = 0.38*t^3  

t = (1.33/0.38)^(1/3) = 1.52 s  

Using Faraday's Law, we have  

emf = - dΦ/dt = - A dB/dt = - A d/dt ( 0.380 t^3 )  

Area A = pi * r² = 3.141 *(0.025 *0.025) = 0.00196 m²

emf = - A*(3*0.38)*t^2  

thus, the emf at t=1.52 s is  

emf = - 0.00196*(3*0.38)*(1.52)^2 = -0.0052 V  

if the resistance is 0.390 ohms, then the current is given by  

I = V/R = 0.0052/0.390 = 0.0133 A

What two forces act on a falling object ?
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

The two forces acting on the object are weight due to gravity pulling the object towards earth, and drag resisting this motion. When the object is first released, drag is small as velocity is low, so the resultant force is down. This means the object accelerates towards earth.
