You leave your home at 1pm. At 3pm, you are 100 km east of your house. What was your average velocity in km/hr

Physics
1 answer:
Rasek [7]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

50km/h

Explanation:

Average velocity = change in distance (or distance travelled) divided by/ the change in time (or time taken.)

The change in distance has been given as 100km.

The change in time is 3pm-1pm = 2 hours.

Therefore the average velocity was 100/2 = 50km/h (to the east).

Hope this helped!

A train leaves the train station at noon and travels at a constant speed of vt = 50 mi/hr on a straight track. 2 hr later, a car
asambeis [7]

Answer:

350 miles

Explanation:

When the car starts 2 hours later, the train would have a head start of

50 * 2 = 100 miles

The speed of the car relative to the train is

70 - 50 = 20 mi/hr

For the car to catch up with the train, it must cover the 100 miles difference at the rate of 20mi/hr. So the time it would need to cover this difference is

100 / 20 = 5 hours

After 5 hours, the car would have traveled a distance of

5 * 70 = 350 miles which is also the distance from the station to where the car catches up

A uniform rod is hung at one end and is partially submerged in water. If the density of the rod is 5/9 that of water, find the f
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

\frac{y}{L} = 0.66

Hence, the fraction of the length of the rod above water = \frac{y}{L} = 0.66

and fraction of the length of the rod submerged in water = 1 - \frac{y}{L} = 1 - 0.66 = 0.34  

Explanation:

Data given:

Density of the rod = 5/9 of the density of the water.

Let's denote density of Water with w

And density of rod with r

So,

r = 5/9 x w

Required:

Fraction of the length of the rod above water.

Let's denote total length of the rod with L

and length of the rod above with = y

Let's denote the density of rod = r

And density of water = w

So, the required is:

Fraction of the length of the rod above water = y/L

y/L = ?

In order to find this, we first need to find out the all type of forces acting upon the rod.

We know that, a body will come to equilibrium if the net torque acting upon a body is zero.

As, we know

F = ma

Density = m/v

m = Density x volume

Volume = Area x length = X ( L-y)

So, let's say X is the area of the cross section of the rod, so the forces acting upon it are:

F = mg

F = (Density x volume) x g

g = gravitational acceleration

F1 = X(L-y) x w x g (Force on the length of the rod submerged in water)

where,

X (L-y) = volume

w = density of water.

Another force acting upon it is:

F = mg

F2 =  X x L x r x g

Now, the torques acting upon the body:

T1 + T2 = 0

F1 ( y + (\frac{L-y}{2}) ) g sinФ - F2 x (\frac{L}{2}) x gsinФ = 0

plug in the  equations of F1 and F2 into the above equation and after simplification, we get:

(L^{2} - y^{2} ) . w = L^{2} . r

where, w is the density of water and r is the density of rod.

As we know that,

r = 5/9 x w

So,

(L^{2} - y^{2} ) . w = L^{2} . 5/9 x w

Hence,

(L^{2} - y^{2} ) = \frac{5L^{2} }{9}

\frac{L^{2} - y^{2}  }{L^{2} } = \frac{5}{9}

Taking L^{2} common and solving for \frac{y}{L}, we will get

\frac{y}{L} = 0.66

Hence, the fraction of the length of the rod above water = \frac{y}{L} = 0.66

and fraction of the length of the rod submerged in water = 1 - \frac{y}{L} = 1 - 0.66 = 0.34

Why is silicon needed in solar panels?
kodGreya [7K]
Hi, silicon is essential in solar panels because, silicon is a semiconductor material (meaning a solid substance that has a conductivity of an insulator and is an essential component of most electric circuits ) now, when dipped with impurities such as gallium and arsenic it has the ability to capture the suns energy and convert to electricity. hope this is helpful if it is than put a thank you plz.
