What is the instantaneous speed at 5 seconds? (remember s=d/t)

Physics

Answer:

5 seconds is a poor time to ask about, because the speed abruptly changes at exactly 5 seconds.

Up until that time, the speed has been 1 m/s. And then, at exactly 5 seconds, it becomes zero.

_________

It's also a poor question because speed is calculated from the distance covered, but the graph shows displacement, not distance. You can't really tell the distance covered from a displacement graph. For example, if an object happens to be moving in a circle around the place where it started, then the total distance covered keeps increasing, but its displacement is constant.

Which of the following statements are true for magnetic force acting on a current-carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field? Che

qaws [65]

Answer:

The following statements are correct.

1. The magnetic force on the current-carrying wire is strongest when the current is perpendicular to the magnetic field lines.

2. The direction of the magnetic force acting on a current-carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the field.

3. The direction of the magnetic force acting on a current-carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the current.

Wrong statements:

1. The magnetic force on the current-carrying wire is strongest when the current is parallel to the magnetic field lines.

Suppose that a comet has a very eccentric orbit that brings it quite close to the Sun at closest approach (perihelion) and beyon

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

16.63min

Explanation:

The question is about the period of the comet in its orbit.

To find the period you can use one of the Kepler's law:

$T^2=\frac{4\pi}{GM}r^3$

T: period

G: Cavendish constant = 6.67*10^-11 Nm^2 kg^2

r: average distance = 1UA = 1.5*10^11m

M: mass of the sun = 1.99*10^30 kg

By replacing you obtain:

$T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi}{GM}r^3}=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi^2}{(6.67*10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2)(1.99*10^{30}kg)}(1.496*10^8m)^3}\\\\T=997.9s\approx16.63min$

the comet takes around 16.63min

How long was a 60 W light bulb turned on if it used a total of 580 J of energy?

icang [17]

Here's the tool you need. You can't answer the question without this:

   "1 watt"
means
   "1 joule of energy, generated, used, or moved, every second".

So 60 watts = 60 joules per second

   Total energy generated,
      used, or moved = (power) x (time).

   580 joules = (60 watts) x (time)

Divide each side
by (60 watts): Time = (580 joules) / (60 joules/sec)

   = (9 and 2/3) seconds .
