Explain why it is esaier to climb a mountain on a zigzag path rather than one straight up the side. is your increase in gravitat

ional energy the same in both cases?

Answer:

More work done with less power

The increase in gravitational energy is the same as the height which is a function of gravitational energy is the same in both cases

Explanation:

Climbing the mountain in zigzag pattern is easier because

1. The time it takes to climb increases so that the required power or rate of doing work decreases

2. Climbing in zigzag pattern affords the use of leverages by the sides

3. Similar mechanical power gain and efficiency from using a drive screw instead of a nail to fasten items together can be achieved

The increase in gravitational energy is the same gravitational energy ~ mass × gravity ×height

An electric dipole consists of a particle with a charge of 6 x 10–6 c at the origin and a particle with a charge of –6 x 10–6 c
mote1985 [20]

An electric dipole consists of a particle with a charge of 6 x 10⁻⁶ c at the origin and a particle with a charge of –6 x 10⁻⁶ c on the x axis at x = 3 x 10⁻³ m. Its dipole moment is 18 x 10⁻⁹ Cm

Dipole moment of a dipole is dependent on the charge of the dipole and the distance between the two charges.

Electric Dipole consists of two charges which are equal and opposite in charge i.e. positive and negative charges.

Given,

Dipole moment, p = ?

Charge, q = 6 x 10⁻⁶C

Distance between charges, d = 3 x 10⁻³ m

Dipole moment (p) is given by:

p = charge x distance between the two charges

p = 6 x 10⁻⁶ x 3 x 10⁻³ Cm

p = 18 x 10⁻⁹ Cm

The dipole moment for the given charge configuration is 18 x 10⁻⁹ Cm

Ben Rushin is waiting at a stop light. Turns green, ben accelerated from rest at a rate of 6.00 m/s squared for a time of 4.10 s
Lera25 [3.4K]
D= vt +.5at^2
since he started at rest, v (initial velocity) is 0
so d=.5at^2
d = .5 (6m/s^2) (4.1s)^2 
then put that into a calculator.

How do i find stretch? The problem in questioning has already given me the elastic energy and k-value, but I have no idea how to
finlep [7]

Answer:

Stretch can be obtained using the Elastic potential energy formula.

The expression to find the stretch (x) is x=\sqrt{\frac{2\times EPE}{k}}

Explanation:

Given:

Elastic potential energy (EPE) of the spring mass system and the spring constant (k) are given.

To find: Elongation in the spring (x).

We can find the elongation or stretch of the spring using the formula for Elastic Potential Energy (EPE).

The formula to find EPE is given as:

EPE=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

Rewriting the above expression in terms of 'x', we get:

x=\sqrt{\frac{2\times EPE}{k}}

Example:

If EPE = 100 J and spring constant, k = 2 N/m.

Elongation or stretch is given as:

x=\sqrt{\frac{2\times EPE}{k}}\\\\x=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 100}{2}}\\\\x=\sqrt{100}=10\ m

Therefore, the stretch in the spring is 10 m.

So, stretch in the spring can be calculated using the formula for Elastic Potential Energy.

Solve this question with explanation <br> Best answer will be brainliest <br> 40 points given
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

12 km/h

Explanation:

Average Speed = Distance / Time (or rate)

Pick a point on the graph for Ian and plug in values.

For example, 20 minutes -> 4km

Hence, Average speed = 4km ÷ 20 minutes = 0.2 km/min

0.2 km/min × 60 = 12 km/h
