Answer:

25 min, 48 sec

Explanation:

Alan:

t = d/v

= 400 mi / 46 mph = 8.70 hr

So it took Alan 8.70 hrs; from 8 am, that's 4:42 pm that he arrives.

t = d/v

= 400 mi / 55 mph = 7.27 hr

So it took Beth 7.27 hrs; from 9 am, that's 4:16:12 that she arrives.

4:42 - 4:16:12 = 25.8 minutes = 25 minutes, 48 sec

A friction force of 280 N exists between a cart and the path. If the force of reaction is 766 N, what is the minimum action forc

MatroZZZ [7]

force of friction on the cart is given as

$F_f = 280 N$

here we also know the reaction force due to surface

$R = 766 N$

so we can say reaction force is given as

$R = \sqrt{F_n^2 + F_f^2}$

$766 = \sqrt{F_n^2 + 280^2}$

$F_n^2 = 766^2 - 280^2$

$F_n = 713 N$

now by force balance we will say

$F_y + F_n = mg$

$F_y = mg - F_n$

$F_x = F_f$

also we know that

$F_f = \mu * F_n$

$280 = \mu * 713$

$\mu = 0.39$

now minimum force required to set this into motion

$F_{min} = \frac{\mu mg}{\sqrt{1 + \mu^2}}$

here we know that

$mg = F_n = 713 N$

$F_{min} = \frac{0.39* 713}{\sqrt{1 + 0.39^2}}$

$F_{min} = 259 N$

So it will require 259 N minimum force to move it

Estimate the inductance L of a coil that is 12 cm long, made of about 235 copper-wire turns and a diameter of about 1.7 cm. Show

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Inductance as calculated is 13.12 mH

Solution:

As per the question:

Length of the coil, l = 12 cm = 0.12 m

Diameter, d = 1.7 cm = 0.017 m

No. of turns, N = 235

Now,

Area of cross-section of the wire, A = $\frac{\pi d^{2}}{4} = \frac{\pi \times 0.017^{2}}{4} = 2.269\times 10^{- 4}\ m^{2}$

We know that the inductance of the coil is given by the formula:

$L = \frac{mu_{o}AN^{2}}{l} = \frac{4\pi \times 10^{- 7}\times 2.269\times 10^{- 4}\times 235^{2}}{0.12} = 1.312\times 10^{- 4}\ H = 13.12\ mH$

The tip of the second hand of a clock moves in a circle of 20 cm circumference. In one minute the hand makes a complete revoluti

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

$v_{avg} = 0$

Explanation:

As we know that average velocity is defined as the ratio of total displacement of the object and its time interval.

so here we can say

$v_{avg} = \frac{displacement}{time}$

now we know that in one complete revolution the total displacement of the tip of the seconds hand is zero

because it will have same position after one complete revolution from where it starts

so here we can say that the average velocity will be zero

$v_{avg} = 0$
