In reaching her destination, a backpacker walks with an average velocity of 1.22 m/s, due west. This average velocity results be

cause she hikes for 6.44 km with an average velocity of 2.53 m/s, due west, turns around, and hikes with an average velocity of 0.445 m/s, due east. How far east did she walk?
Can someone please help me please? I really really need help on this please!!!!

Wow! 2.95m/s is a mighty fast pace for a backpacker. Must have one of those Star Wars anti-gravity packs. Also, I would be curious as to why she passed her destination and then walked back. 
<span>Anyway, it goes like this: </span>
<span>Say the time walking east is 't', and the total time is 'T'. </span>
<span>Then 5340 m + .511 t = 1.43 T </span>
<span>(This assumes that velocity is positive in both directions) </span>
<span>Two unknowns in one equation. But you also know that the time spent walking west is </span>
<span>5340m/ 2.95m/s = 1810 sec. </span>
<span>and the total time T = 1810 +t </span>
<span>Substitute this into the first equation, and you can solve for t = 3092 sec. </span>
<span>Then T = 4902 sec. and distance walked east is .511t = 1580m.</span>

What is the magnitude of the electric field at a point midway between a −5.0μC and a +5.8μC charge 8.4cm apart? Assume no other
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Electric Field = E = 36.848 N/C

Explanation:

In accordance with Columb's law

E = k Q1 Q2 / r.r = 8.99 x 10^9 x 5.0 x 10^-6 x 5.8 x 10^-6 / 0.084 x 0.084

= 36948.6961 x 10^-3 = 36.848 N/C

The horizontal surface on which the block (mass 2.0 kg) slides is frictionless. The speed of the block before it touches the spr
ch4aika [34]

Answer:3.67 m/s

Explanation:

mass of block(m)=2 kg

Velocity of block=6 m/s

spring constant(k)=2 KN/m

Spring compression x=15 cm

Conserving Energy

energy lost by block =Gain in potential energy in spring

\frac{m(v_1^2-v_2^2)}{2}=\frac{kx^2}{2}

2\left [ 6^2-v_2^2\right ]=2\times 10^3\times \left [ 0.15\right ]^2

v_2=3.67 m/s

A high school physics student is sitting in a seat read-
Nataly_w [17]

The equilibrium condition allows finding the result for the force that the chair exerts on the student is:

  • The reaction force that the chair exerts on the student's support is equal to the student's weight.

Newton's second law gives the relationship between force, mass and acceleration of bodies, in the special case that the acceleration is is zero equilibrium condition.

            ∑ F = 0

Where F is the external force.

The free body diagram is a diagram of the forces on bodies without the details of the shape of the body, in the attached we can see a diagram of the forces.

Let's analyze the force on the chair.

            N_{chair} - W_{chair} - W_{student} = 0 \\ \\N_{chair} = W_{chair} + W_{student}

Let's analyze the forces on the student.

          N_{student} - W_{student} = 0  \\N_{student} = W _{student}

           

In conclusion using the equilibrium condition we can find the result for the force that the chair exerts on the student is:

  • The reaction force that the chair exerts on the student's support is equal to the student's weight.

A proton has been accelerated from rest through a potential difference of -1000 v . part a what is the proton's kinetic energy,
wlad13 [49]
We can apply the law of conservation of energy here. The total energy of the proton must remain constant, so the sum of the variation of electric potential energy and of kinetic energy of the proton must be zero:
\Delta U + \Delta K=0
which means
\Delta K = - \Delta U
The variation of electric potential energy is equal to the product between the charge of the proton (q=1eV) and the potential difference (\Delta V=-1000 V):
\Delta U = q \Delta V=(1 eV)(-1000 V)=-1000 eV
Therefore, the kinetic energy gained by the proton is
\Delta K = -(-1000 eV)=1000 eV
<span>And since the initial kinetic energy of the proton was zero (it started from rest), then this 1000 eV corresponds to the final kinetic energy of the proton.</span>
