17. A distance-time graph indicates that an object moves 120 meters in 5 seconds and then remains at rest for 5 seconds. What is

the average speed of the object?

Answer:

12 m/s

Explanation:

Speed is distance moved per unit time and expressed as

S=d/t

S is speed, d is distance and t is time.

When at rest for five minutes, distance moved is zero hence speed is 0/5=0 m/s

When having moved 120 m for 5 s then speed is

S=120/5=24 m/s

Average speed is the average of these two speeda

Average speed=(24+0)÷2=24/2=12 m/s

Therefore, average speed is 12 m/s

An advertisement for an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) claims that the ATV can climb inclined slopes of 35°. What is the minimum coef
navik [9.2K]

An advertisement for an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) claims that the ATV can climb inclined slopes of 35°. The minimum coefficient of static friction needed for this claim to be possible is 0.7

In an inclined plane, the coefficient of static friction is the angle at which an object slide over another.  

As the angle rises, the gravitational force component surpasses the static friction force, as such, the object begins to slide.

Using the Newton second law;

\sum F_x = \sum F_y = 0

\mathbf{mg sin \theta -f_s= N-mgcos \theta = 0 }

  • So; On the L.H.S

\mathbf{mg sin \theta =f_s}

\mathbf{mg sin \theta =\mu_s N}

  • On the R.H.S

N = mg cos θ

Equating both force component together, we have:

\mathbf{mg sin \theta =\mu_s \ mg \ cos \theta}

\mathbf{sin \theta =\mu_s \ \ cos \theta}

\mathbf{\mu_s = \dfrac{sin \theta }{ cos \theta}}

From trigonometry rule:

\mathbf{tan \theta= \dfrac{sin \theta }{ cos \theta}}

∴

\mathbf{\mu_s =\tan \theta}}

\mathbf{\mu_s =\tan 35^0}}

\mathbf{\mu_s = 0.700}}

Therefore, we can conclude that the minimum coefficient of static friction needed for this claim to be possible is 0.7

Which of the following statements explains why a race car going around a curve is accelerating, even if the speed is constant? A
Tom [10]

OPTION C The car is accelerating because the direction of velocity is changing explains why a race car going around a curve is accelerating, even if the speed is constant

  • When a body is in uniform circular motion ( constant speed ), it will continuously cheanges its direction and so the body is accelerating
  • The rate at which an item changes its velocity is known as acceleration, a vector variable. If an object's velocity is changing, it is accelerating.
  • As a vector quantity, acceleration has a direction attached to it. The acceleration vector's direction is determined by two factors: if the thing is slowing down or speeding up the direction the thing is travelling in (+ or -)

  • The following general rule is used to calculate acceleration:

An object's acceleration will be in the opposite direction of its velocity if it is slowing down.

You may use this basic concept to determine if an object's acceleration is positive or negative, to the right or left, up or down, etc.

A commuter train travels from New York to Washington, DC, and back in 6 hours and 5 minutes. The distance between the two statio
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

The train's displacement is zero.

Explanation:

Given data,

The time taken by the train from NY to Washington and back is, t = 6 h 5 min

The distance between the two stations is, d = 363 km

Therefore, the total distance the train traveled is, d' = 726 km

The displacement is defined as the change in position coordinates with respect to its original position.

If the train travels from one point and returns back to the same point after some time, there is no change in the position coordinates with respect to its original position.

Hence, the train's displacement is zero.

What is velocity ratio ?​
Rasek [7]

The ratio of the distance moved by the point at which the effort is applied in a simple machine to the distance moved by the point at which the load is applied, in the same time. In the case of an ideal (frictionless and weightless) machine, velocity ratio = mechanical advantage. Velocity ratio is sometimes called distance ratio.

A circular coil consists of N = 410 closely winded turns of wire and has a radius R = 0.75 m. A counterclockwise current I = 2.4
Svetllana [295]

The complete question is;

A circular coil consists of N = 410 closely winded turns of wire and has a radius R = 0.75 m. A counterclockwise current I = 2.4 A is in the coil. The coil is set in a magnetic field of magnitude B = 1.1 T.

a. Express the magnetic dipole moment μ in terms of the number of the turns N, the current I, and radius

R.

b. Which direction does μ go?

Answer:

A) μ = 1738.87 A.m²

B) The direction of the magnetic moment will be in upward direction.

Explanation:

We are given;

The number of circular coils;

N = 410

The radius of the coil;R = 0.75m

The current in the coils; I = 2.4 A

The strength of magnetic field;

B =1.1T

The formula for magnetic dipole moment is given as;

μ = NIA

Where;

N is number of turns

I is current

A is area

Now, area; A = πr²

So, A = π(0.75)²

Thus,plugging in relevant values, the magnetic dipole moment is;

μ = 410 * 2.4 * π(0.75)²

μ = 1738.87 A.m²

B) According to Fleming's right hand rule, the direction of the magnetic moment comes out to be in upward direction.
