A person travels from New York to Washington at the rate of 45 km per hour and

Physics
1 answer:
mr_godi [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The average speed for the whole journey is 49.5 miles per hour.

Explanation:

Step 1 :

Here, both the ways, he covers the same distance.  Then, the formula to find average speed is

=  2xy / (x+y)

Step 2 :

x ----> Rate at which he travels from New York to Washington  

x  =  45

y ----> Rate at which he travels from New York to Washington  

y  =  55

Step 3 :

So, the average speed is

=  (2 ⋅ 45 ⋅ 55) / (45 + 55)

=  4950 / 100

=  49.5

What fraction of the water must evaporate to remove precisely enough energy to keep the temperature constant? water at 37°c has
mart [117]

The fraction of the water must evaporate to remove precisely enough energy to keep the temperature constant when water at 37°c has a latent heat of vaporization of lv = 580 kcal/kg is 2.58 times 10 to the minus 3.

Vaporization is the process by which a substance is transformed from its liquid or solid state into its gaseous (vapour) state. Boiling is the term for the vaporization process when conditions permit the creation of vapour bubbles within a liquid. Sublimation is the process of directly converting a solid to a liquid.

Boiling and evaporation are the two processes that cause vaporization. Evaporation is the process by which a liquid body's surface changes from a liquid to a gas, as in the case of a drop of water on hot concrete evaporating into a gas. A liquid is said to be boiling when it is heated to the point at which it begins to give off steam, as when you boil water on a stove. The process of converting a substance from its liquid or solid state into its gaseous (vapour) state is known as vaporization.

2. A brick is sitting on a building 22 m high. It has a mass of 7.9 kg. What amount of potential
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

1703.24J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of brick  = 7.9kg

Height of building  = 22m

Unknown:

Potential energy of the brick  = ?

Solution:

The potential energy of a body is the energy at rest of the body. Mathematically;

 

         P.E = mgh

m is the mass of the brick

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the building

  Insert the given parameters and solve;

        P.E  = 7.9 x 9.8 x 22  = 1703.24J

The membrane that surrounds a certain type of living cell has a surface area of 4.3 x 10-9 m2 and a thickness of 1.1 x 10-8 m. A
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The charge resides on the outer surface = 1.245 \times 10^{-12} C

Explanation:

Surface area of cell  (A) = 4.3\times 10^{-9}  m^{2}

Separation between two plate  (d) = 1.1 \times 10^{-8}  m  

Dielectric constant (k) = 4.2

Potential difference (\Delta V) = 85.7 \times 10^{-3} V

The capacitance of parallel plate capacitor in free space is given by,

           C = \frac{\epsilon_{o} A }{d}

Where \epsilon_{o}  = permittivity of free space = 8.85 \times 10^{-12}

The Capacitance of capacitor is increase by k times when it placed in dielectric medium.

C_{dielectric}  = \frac{k \epsilon_{o} A }{d}

And we know that, C = \frac{Q}{ \Delta V}

So charge on the outer surface is given by,

      Q = \frac{k \epsilon A \Delta V }{d}

      Q = \frac{4.2 \times 4.3 \times 10^{-9} \times 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \times 85.7\times 10^{-3}   }{1.1 \times 10^{-8} }

      Q = 1.245 \times 10^{-12}

a fast charged particle passes perpendicularly through a thin glass sheet of index of refraction 1.5. The particle emits light i
NeX [460]

The minimum speed of the particle is the Speed of light in glass is c/μ=2×108m/s.

<h3>Why is the refractive index important?</h3>

The higher the refractive index the slower the light travels, which causes a correspondingly increased change in the direction of the light within the material. What this means for lenses is that a higher refractive index material can bend the light more and allow the profile of the lens to be lower.

Refractive index values are usually determined at standard temperature. A higher temperature means the liquid becomes less dense and less viscous, causing light to travel faster in the medium.

roblem 10: In an adiabatic process oxygen gas in a container is compressed along a path that can be described by the following p
miskamm [114]

Answer:

W= -2.5 (p₁*0.0012) joules

Explanation:

Given that p₀= initial pressure, p₁=final pressure, Vi= initial volume=0 and Vf=final volume= 6/5 liters where p₁=p₀ then

In adiabatic compression, work done by mixture during compression is

W= \int\limits^f_i {p} \, dV  where f= final volume and i =initial volume, p=pressure

p can be written as p=K/V^γ where K=p₀Vi^γ =p₁Vf^γ

W= \int\limits^f_i {K/V^} \, dV

W= K/1-γ ( 1/Vf^γ-1 - 1/Vi^γ-1)

W=1/1-γ (p₁Vf-p₀Vi)

W= 1/1-1.40 (p₁*6/5 -p₀*0)  

W= -2.5 (p₁*6/5*0.001)   changing liters to m³

W= -2.5 (p₁*0.0012) joules
