Average speed is useful but it might not describe your actual speed

1 answer:

6 0

Average speed is useful in describing the motion of a body, but it does not tell everything about the motion. For instance, a car traveling at an average speed of 100 kilometers per hour during a certain hour could conceivably have traveled at 150 km/h for 40 minutes, Energy, Ch. 3, extension 1 Calculating average speed and velocity 3 then halted for the last 20 minutes as a patrolman gave the driver a ticket (picture above). Its average speed really does not describe that hour’s journey very well. The way to deal with such a situation is to take the average over a shorter interval, and do this more times. In the example given above, if the speed were sampled every 15 minutes instead of over the entire hour, we would list average speeds of 150 km/h at the start (0 to 15 minutes), 150 km/h (15 to 30 minutes), 100 km/h (30 to 45 minutes), and 0 km/h (45 to 60 minutes).

Two particles having charges of 0.440 nC and 11.0 nC are separated by a distance of 1.80 m . 1) At what point along the line con

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

a) 0.3 m

b) r = 0.45 m

Explanation:

given,

q₁ = 0.44 n C and q₂ = 11.0 n C

assume the distance be r from q₁ where the electric field is zero.

distance of point from q₂ be equal to 1.8 -r

now,

E₁ = E₂

$\dfrac{K q_2}{(1.8-r)^2} = \dfrac{K q_1}{r^2}$

$(\dfrac{1.8-r}{r})^2= \dfrac{q_2}{q_1}$

$\dfrac{1.8-r}{r}= \sqrt{\dfrac{11}{0.44}}$

1.8 = 6 r

r = 0.3 m

<h3>b) zero when one charge is negative.</h3>

let us assume q₁ be negative so, distance from q₁ be r

from charge q₂ the distance of the point be 1.8 +r

now,

E₁ = E₂

$\dfrac{K q_2}{(1.8+r)^2} = \dfrac{K q_1}{r^2}$

$(\dfrac{1.8+r}{r})^2= \dfrac{q_2}{q_1}$

$\dfrac{1.8+r}{r}= \sqrt{\dfrac{11}{0.44}}$

1.8 =4 r

r = 0.45 m

Anne pushed a cart by 12 N. How far did the cart move if the work done was 9 J?

telo118 [61]

Force=12N
Work=9J

$\\ \sf\longmapsto W=Fd$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto d=\dfrac{W}{F}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto d=\dfrac{9}{12}=0.72m$

All the energy sources are correctly matched with their category.

Explanation:

Renewable energy sources:

These are energy sources which can be replenished as they don't in involves the irreversible phase change.

These resources can never be ended as they can be used again and again.

Wind, geothermal, biomass, bio gas are example of renewable energy sources.

Non renewable energy sources:

These are the energy source which can never be replenished after one time use. They undergo the chemical irreversible change.

These sources are lacking with the passage of time because they can never be reused.

Oil, gas, coal and natural gas are examples.

The magnet has an unchanging magnetic field: very strong near the magnet, and weak far from the magnet. How did the magnetic fie

STatiana [176]

Answer:

<em>The magnetic field through the coil at first increases steadily up to its maximum value, and then decreases gradually to its minimum value.</em>

Explanation:

At first, the magnet fall towards the coils; inducing a gradually increasing magnetic field through the coil as it falls into the coil. At the instance when half the magnet coincides with the coil, the magnetic field magnitude on the coil is at its maximum value. When the magnet falls pass the coil towards the floor, the magnetic field then starts to decrease gradually from a strong magnitude to a weak magnitude.

This action creates a changing magnetic flux around the coil. The result is that an induced current is induced in the coil, and the induced current in the coil will flow in such a way as to oppose the action of the falling magnet. This is based on lenz law that states that the induced current acts in such a way as to oppose the motion or the action that produces it.
