A cyclist travels 36km in 3 hours. What is the cyclist’s average speed?

1 answer:

4 0

To determine what the cyclists average speed is, simply divide the distance the cyclist has travelled by the time the cyclist has traveled for.

Assuming that this is the average rate the cyclist is moving at it would be 12 km/hr.

You drop a rock down a well that is 5.4 m deep. How long does it take the rock to hit the bottom of the well?

Natali5045456 [20]

Equation of motion:

$y_{f}=y_{o}+v_{o}t+ \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

Since initial velocity is zero, the second term goes away:

$y_{f}=y_{o}+0+ \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

$y_{f}=y_{o}+\frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

$y_{f}-y_{o}= \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

$y_{f}-y_{o}=5.4m$

$5.4m= \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

$\frac{2(5.4m) }{a} = t^{2}$

$a = g = 9.81 \frac{m}{ s^{2}}$

$\frac{2(5.4m) }{9.81 \frac{m}{ s^{2} } } = t^{2}$

$1.1 s^{2} = t^{2}$ $\sqrt{1.1 s^{2}} = \sqrt{t^{2}}$

<u><em> $t = 1.05s$ </em></u>

What is the net force on a bag pulled down by gravity with a force of 18 newtons and pulled upward by a rope with a force of 18

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

0 N.

Explanation:

Force: This can be defined as the product of mass and the acceleration of the body. The S.I unit of force is Newton (N).

The expression of net force when both force act in the different direction is given as

F' = W-F ........................ Equation 1

Where F' = Net force on the bag, W = gravitational force on the bag, F = Force acting upward on the bag

Given: W = 18 N, F = 18 N.

Substitute into equation 1

F' = 18-18

F' = 0 N.

Hence the net force = 0 N.

When sitting in the tree the cat has a total of 1375J in its Gravitational potential store. What is the maximum amount of energy

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

1375J

Explanation:

The gravitational potential/potential energy of the at the top of the tree which is the energy by virtue of its position.

P.E = mgh

mass = m

Acceleration due to gravity = g

height = h

At the top of the tree, the value of h (height) is high resulting in the gravitational potential. When the cat lands on the ground, the value of h is zero, the the gravitational potential would be zero and all the potential energy have been converted to other forms of energy.

Therefore, the total gravitational potential store is equal to the maximum amount of energy that can be transferred which is equal to 1375J.

A light bulb emits light uniformly in all directions. The average emitted power is 150.0 W. At a distance of 5 m from the bulb,

beks73 [17]

Answer:

a) 0.477 W/m²

b) 13.407 N/C

c) 18.96 N/C

Explanation:

P = Power = 150 W

r = Distance = 5 m

ε₀ = Permittivity of space = 8.854×10⁻¹² F/m

a) Average intensity

$\bar{S}=\frac{P}{A}\\\Rightarrow \bar{S}=\frac{150}{4\pi r^2}\\\Rightarrow \bar{S}=\frac{150}{4\pi 5^2}\\\Rightarrow \bar{S}=0.477\ W/m^2$

∴ Average intensity is 0.477 W/m²

b) Rms value

$\bar{S}=c\epsilon_0E_{rms}^2\\\Rightarrow E_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{\bar{S}}{c\epsilon_0}}\\\Rightarrow E_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{\bar{0.477}}{3\times 10^8\times 8.854\times 10^{-12}}}\\\Rightarrow E_{rms}=13.407\ N/C$

∴ Rms value of the electric field is 13.407 N/C

c) Peak value

$E_0=\sqrt 2E_{rms}\\\Rightarrow E_0=\sqrt 2\times 13.407\\\Rightarrow E_0=18.96\ N/C$

∴ Peak value of the electric field is 18.96 N/C
