Answer:

Time, t = 12 minutes

Explanation:

It is given that,

A cyclist rides 16.0 km east, then 8.0 km west, then 8.0 km east, then 32.0 km west, and finally 11.2 km east. Let west direction is negative and east direction is positive. The displacement of the cyclist is :

$d=16-8+8-32+11.2=-4.8\ km$

d = 4800 m

Let us assumed that the average speed of the cyclist is, v = 24 km/h = 6.66667 m/s

Let t is the time taken by the cyclist to complete the trip. The velocity of an object is given by :

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}$

$t=\dfrac{d}{v}$

$t=\dfrac{4800\ m}{6.66667\ m/s}$

t = 719.99 seconds

t = 720 seconds

t = 12 minutes

So, the time taken by the cyclist to complete the trip is 12 minutes. Yes, the time taken by the cyclist to complete the trip is reasonable. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

v = 5.15 m/s

Explanation:

At constant velocity, the cable tension will equal the car weight of 984(9.81) = 9,653 N

As the cable tension is less than this value, the car must be accelerating downward.

7730 = 984(9.81 - a)

a = 1.95 m/s²

kinematic equations s = ut + ½at² and v = u + at

-5.00 = u(4.00) + ½(-1.95)4.00²

u = 2.65 m/s the car's initial velocity was upward at 2.65 m/s

v = 2.65 + (-1.95)(4.00)

v = -5.15 m/s

A string of 26 identical Christmas tree lights are connected in series to a 120 V source. The string dissipates 73 W. What is th

spin [16.1K]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to Ohm's law and Electric Power. By Ohm's law we know that resistance is equivalent to,

$R_{eq}= \frac{V}{I}$

Here,

V = Voltage

I = Current

While the power is equivalent to the product between the current and the voltage, thus solving for the current we have,

$P=VI \rightarrow I = \frac{P}{V}$

$I =0.608 A$

Applying Ohm's law

$R_{eq} = \frac{120V}{0.608A}$

$R_{eq} = 197.4\Omega$

Therefore the equivalent resistance of the light string is $197.4\Omega$

A 45-mH inductor is connected in series with a 60-Ω resistor through a 15-V dc power supply and a switch. If the switch is close

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

The current is 0.248 A

Explanation:

Given that,

Inductor $L= 45\times10^{3}\ H$

Resistance $R= 60\Omega$

Voltage = 15 volt

Time $t =7.0\times10^{-3}\ sec$

We need to calculate the current

Using formula of current

$I=\dfrac{V}{R}(1-e^{\dfrac{-R}{L}}t)$

Where, V = voltage

R = resistance

L = inductance

T = time

Put the value into the formula

$I=\dfrac{15}{60}(1-e^{\dfrac{-60}{45\times10^{3}}}\times7\times10^{-3})$

$I=0.248\ A$

Hence, The current is 0.248 A.

Write a scientific explanation to describe where earthquakes and volcanoes most commonly occur and their relation to plate bound

vovangra [49]

Earthquakes and volcanoes most commonly occur around plate boundaries because of the movement from the plate boundaries. The interactions between the plates by moving under, upon, or sliding against other boundaries may cause earthquakes and volcanoes.

Olivia places her pet frog on a line to observe the frog’s motion. The line is divided into sections that measure 1 centimeter e

aalyn [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the forward displacement is taken is positive, and the backward displacement is taken is negative.

first displacement = + 18 cm

second displacement = - 6 cm

third displacement = - 12 cm

net displacement = 18 - 12 - 6 = 0 cm
