Answer:
133.62 kmh.
Explanation:
Time provided = 3.25 hours.
Distance to be covered 300 km
Times spent in first 100 km = 1 hour
Time spent in next 43 km
= 43 / 40 = 1.075 hours
Total time spent = 2.075 hours
Total distance covered = 143 km
Distance remaining = 300 - 143
=157 km .
Time remaining = 3.25 - 2.075
= 1.175
Speed required = Distance remaining / time remaining
= 157 / 1.175
= 133.62 kmh.
Answer:
e) A changing magnetic field produces an electric field.
Explanation:
Ok, we start with a magnetic field and let's study how it affects the motion of a single electron. As the magnetic field changes, it will cause an electromotive force, that moves the electron, and because now we have a moving electron, now we will have an electric field. (Such that the direction of the electromotive force opposes the direction in which the magnetic field changes). This also can be deduced if we look at the third Maxwell's equation:
dE/dx = -dB/dt
This says that the spatial change in an electric field depends on how the magnetic field changes as time pass.
Then the correct option is e) A changing magnetic field produces an electric field.
I was going to beg off until tomorrow, but this one is nothing like those others.
Why, at only 40km/hr, we can ignore any relativistic correction, and just go with Newton.
To put a finer point on it, let's give the car a direction. Say it's driving North.
a). From the point of view of the car, its driver, and passengers if any,
the pole moves past them, heading south, at 40 km/hour .
b). From the point of view of the pole, and any bugs or birds that may be
sitting on it at the moment, the car and its contents whiz past them, heading
north, at 40 km/hour.
c). A train, steaming North at 80 km/hour on a track that exactly parallels
the road, overtakes and passes the car at just about the same time as
the drama in (a) and (b) above is unfolding.
The rail motorman, fireman, and conductor all agree on what they have
seen. From their point of view, they see the car moving south at 40 km/hr,
and the pole moving south at 80 km/hr.
Now follow me here . . .
The car and the pole are both seen to be moving south. BUT ... Since the
pole is moving south faster than the car is, it easily overtakes the car, and
passes it . . . going south.
That's what everybody on the train sees.
==============================================
Finally ... since you posed this question as having something to do with your
fixation on Relativity, there's one more question that needs to be considered
before we can put this whole thing away:
You glibly stated in the question that the car is driving along at 40 km/hour ...
AS IF we didn't need to know with respect to what, or in whose reference frame.
Now I ask you ... was that sloppy or what ? ! ?
Of course, I came along later and did the same thing with the train, but I am
not here to make fun of myself ! Only of others.
The point is . . . the whole purpose of this question, obviously, is to get the student accustomed to the concept that speed has no meaning in and of itself, only relative to something else. And if the given speed of the car ...40 km/hour ... was measured relative to anything else but the ground on which it drove, as we assumed it was, then all of the answers in (a) and (b) could have been different.
And now I believe that I have adequately milked this one for 50 points worth.
Answer:
the answer is a because I saw it in a syllabus
Answer:
The average velocity is 7.5 km/h
Explanation:
Let's convert minutes to hours so our answer can be given in a common units of km/hour:
12 minutes = 12/60 hours = 0.2 hours
Now we estimate the average velocity calculating the distance travelled over the time it took:
1.5 / 0.2 km/h = 7.5 km/h
