Answer:

The average speed of the bus, v = 1.55 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of blocks traveled by bus towards east = 6

Number of blocks traveled by bus towards north = 8

Length of each block = 100 m

Distance traveled by bus towards east 6 x 100 = 600 m

Distance traveled by bus towards north 8 x 100 = 800 m

The total distance traveled, d = 600 + 800 = 1400

Time taken by the bus to travel is, t = 15 minutes

The velocity is given by the formula

                                  v = d/t  m

Substituting the values in the above equation

                                   v = 1400 m /(15 x 60) s

                                      = 1.55 m/s

Hence, the average speed of the bus, v = 1.55 m/s

A mountain climber packs too much gear and finds it difficult to reach the summit before a storm blows in. How does this scenari
MissTica

As the climber climbs the mountain, he needs to over his or her own weight component along the slope of the mountains.

By Newton's second law: Net force = Mass x acceleration

Hence, greater the mass, greater will be the force required to move up the mountain. Hence, the climber will need to apply higher force to climb up as he or she has packed too much, which resulted in the increase in the mass. Hence, there is a increase in the force which will pull him or her downward.

A jetliner is moving at a speed of 245m/s. The vertical component of the plane's velocity is 40.6 m/s. Determine the magnitude o
Harman [31]

Answer:

Horizontal component of velocity = 241.61 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of a jetliner is 245 m/s

The vertical component of the plane's velocity is 40.6 m/s, v_y=40.6\ m/s

We need to find the magnitude of the horizontal component of the plane velocity.

The resultant velocity is given by :

v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}

Where, v_x is the horizontal component of the plane velocity

v^2=v_x^2+v_y^2\\\\v_x^2=v^2-v_y^2\\\\v_x^2=(245)^2-(40.6)^2\\\\v_x=\sqrt{58376.64}\\\\v_x=241.61\ m/s

So, the magnitude of the horizontal component of the plane velocity is 241.61 m/s.

A particle of mass 7.4 × 10-8 kg and charge +8.6 μC is traveling due east. It enters perpendicularly a magnetic field whose magn
nordsb [41]

Answer:

Time spent by the charge in the magnetic field = 0.008445 s = (8.445 × 10⁻³) s

Explanation:

The force exerted on the charge due to magnetic field = the centripetal force that causes the charge to move in a circular motion.

Force due to magnetic field = qvB sin θ

q = charge on the particle = 8.6 μC

v = velocity of the charge

B = magnetic field strength = 3.2 T

θ = angle between the velocity of the charge and the magnetic field = 90°, sin 90° = 1

F = qvB

Centripetal force responsible for circular motion = mv²/r = mvw

where w = angular velocity.

mvw = qvB

mw = qB

w = (qB/m) = (8.6 × 10⁻⁶ × 3.2)/(7.4 × 10⁻⁸)

w = 3.72 × 10² rad/s

w = 372 rad/s

w = (angular displacement)/time

Time = (angular displacement)/w

Angular displacement = π rads (half of a circle; 2π/2)

Time = (π/372) = 0.008445 s

A balloon contains helium with a mass of 0.00296 g. What is the volume of helium in the balloon? (Note: Helium’s density is 0.00
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

178 cm3

Explanation:

We know that density is expresses as mass per unit volume hence

Density= mass/volume

Making volume the subject then

Volume=mass/density

Substituting mass with 0.00296 g and density with 0.00001663 g/cm3 then

Volume=0.00296/0.00001663=177.99158147925 cm3

Rounding off, the volume is approximately 178 cm3

3. What is the potential difference across a 1 500 12 resistor carrying a
gregori [183]

The potential difference across a 1500 ohm resistor carrying a current of 0.075 A is approx. equal to 113 V.

Explanation:

An ideal electrical circuit obeys Ohm's law. As per this law, the potential difference in any electrical circuit will be directly proportional to the current flowing in that circuit. And the proportionality constant is the resistance offered by the circuit.

V = I * R

As here, the current is said to be carried as 0.075 A and the resistance is 1500 ohm, then the potential difference will be

V = 0.075 * 1500 =112.5 = 113 V

Thus, the potential difference across a 1500 ohm resistor carrying a current of 0.075 A is approx. equal to 113 V.
