A bicyclist makes a trip that consists of three parts, each in the same direction (due north) along a straight road. During the

first part, she rides for 22 minutes at an average speed of 7.2 m/s. During the second part, she rides for 36 minutes at an average speed of 5.1 m/s. Finally, during the third part, she rides for 8.0 minutes at an average speed of 13 m/s. (a) How far has the bicyclist traveled during the entire trip? (b) What is her average velocity for the trip? (Ans: a)26.7km, b) 6.74m/s)

Answer:

a

The total distance traveled is D  = 26760 \ m

b

The average velocity is  v_{avg} =  6.8 \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The time taken for first part t_1 =  22 \ minutes = 22*60 = 1320 \ s

      The speed for the first part is  v_1 =  7.2 \ m/s

        The time taken for second part is t_2 =  36 \ minutes =  2160 \ s

        The speed for the second  part is  v_2 =  5.1 \ m/s

         The time taken for third  part is  t_3 =  8 \ minutes = 480 \ s  

          The speed for the third  part is  v_3 =  13 m/s

Generally

        distance(D)  =  velocity * time

Therefore the total distance traveled is  

         D  =  (v_1 * t_1) + (v_2 * t_2 ) + (v_3 * t_3)

substituting values

        D  =  (7.2 * 1320) + (5.1 * 2160) + (13 * 480)

        D  = 26760 \ m

Generally the average velocity is mathematically represented as

        v_{avg} =  \frac{D}{t_{total}}

Where t_{total} is the total time taken which is mathematically represented as

       t_{total}  =  1320 + 2160 + 480

      t_{total}  =3960\ s

The average velocity is

        v_{avg} =  \frac{26760}{3960}

        v_{avg} =  6.8 \ m/s

A straight 1.20 m long conductor has a 2.00 A current travelling toward the East. Earth's magnetic field in this location is 4.9
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Force's magnitude=1.176\,10^{-4}\,N

Direction: down (towards the center of the Earth)

Explanation:

Recall that the magnetic force on a conductor of length L carrying a current I in a magnetic field B is given by the equation: F=I\,L\,B in the case the magnetic field B and the direction of the current are at 90 degrees from each other (which is our case). The direction of the force will be given by the "right hand rule" associated with the vector product that defines this force.

Since the current is moving East, and the magnetic field of the Earth goes from North to South, the resultant Force vector will be pointing towards the Earth (and perpendicular to the plane defined by the current's direction and the magnetic field B)

The magnitude of the force, is given by the formula above, and given that all quantities to be considered are is SI units, it will result in Newtons (N):

F=I\,L\,B\\F=2\,*\,1.2\,*\,4.9\,10^{-5}\,N\\F=1.176\,10^{-4}\,N

What is the energy in joules of a photon with a frequency of 3.16e 12 s-1?
erica [24]
We have: Energy(E) = Planck's constant(h) × Frequency(∨)
Here, Planck's constant(h) = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J/s
Frequency (∨) = 3.16 × 10¹² /s

Substitute the values into the expression:
E = (6.626 × 10⁻³⁴)(3.16 × 10¹²) J
E = 2.093 × 10⁻²¹ Joules

In short, Your Final answer would be 2.093 × 10⁻²¹ J

Hope this helps!

Bond [772]

Answer:

a) x = (0.0114 ± 0.0001) in , b) the number of decks is 5

Explanation:

a) The thickness of the deck of cards (d) is measured and the thickness of a card (x) is calculated

        x = d / 52

        x = 0.590 / 52

        x = 0.011346 in

Let's look for uncertainty

       Δx = dx /dd Δd

       Δx = 1/52 Δd

       Δx = 1/52  0.005

       Δx = 0.0001 in

The result of the calculation is

        x = (0.0114 ± 0.0001) in

b) You want to reduce the error to Δx = 0.00002, the number of cards to be measured is

           #_cards = n 52

The formula for thickness is

           x = d / n 52

Uncertainty

          Δx = 1 / n 52  Δd

         n = 1/52 Δd / Δx

         n = 1/52 0.005 / 0.00002

         n = 4.8

Since the number of decks must be an integer the number of decks is 5
