Answer:

V = 20 miles /sec

Explanation:

We have remaining distance   =  d  = 96 miles

Lets call  Pascal velocity  V in miles per hour

Now if he increases his velocity by  50 % (equivalent to multiply by 1.5 ) he will need a time t₁ to arrive then as V = d/t

1.5* V  = d/ t₁      ⇒   1.5 * V  =  96 /t₁

And in the case of reducing his velocity

(V / 4) = d/ (t₁ + 16 )     ⇒  V * (t₁ + 16 ) = 4*d     ⇒ V*t₁ + 16*V = 384

So we a 2 equation system with two uknown variables

1.5*V = 96/t₁      (1)

V*t₁  + 16*V = 384     (2)

We solve  from equation    (1)      t₁  = 64/V

And by substitution   in equation (2)

V * (64/V) + 16* V = 384

64  + 16 *V  = 384         ⇒   16*V = 320      ⇒  V= 320/16

V = 20 miles /sec

The quantity of charge Q in coulombs (C) that has passed through a point in a wire up to time t (measured in seconds) is given b
Mnenie [13.5K]

Explanation:

The quantity of charge Q in coulombs (C) that has passed through a point in a wire up to time t (measured in seconds) is given by :

Q=t^3-2t^2+4t+4

We need to find the current flowing. We know that the rate of change of electric charge is called electric current. It is given by :

I=\dfrac{dQ}{dt}\\\\I=\dfrac{d(t^3-2t^2+4t+4)}{dt}\\\\I=3t^2-4t+4

At t = 1 s,

Current,

I=3(1)^2-4(1)+4\\\\I=3\ A

So, the current at t = 1 s is 3 A.

For lowest current,

\dfrac{dI}{dt}=0\\\\\dfrac{d(3t^2-4t+4)}{dt}=0\\\\6t-4=0\\\\t=0.67\ s

Hence, this is the required solution.

If I keep F constant in F=ma, what is the relationship between m and a?
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

If F is a constant, we can take f = 1

f = m×a

ma = 1

therefore we can say that force is hence proportinal to the product of mass and acceleration.

3. A bicycle has a momentum of 25.00 kg* m/s and a velocity of 2.5 m/s . What is the bicycle's
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

10 kg

Explanation:

The question is most likely asking for the mass of the bicycle.

Momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity. Mathematically:

p = m * v

Where p = momentum

m = mass

v = velocity

Hence, mass is:

m = p / v

From the question:

p = 25 kgm/s

v = 2.5 m/s

Mass is:

m = 25 / 2.5 = 10 kg

The mass of the bicycle is 10 kg.

In case the question requires the Kinetic energy of the bicycle, it can be gotten by using the formula

K. E = ½ * p * v

K. E. = ½ * 25 * 2.5 = 31.25 J

Which sentences describe the cyclone device?
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

✓ A cyclone device accumulates fine particulates from the air by making a dirty air stream flow in a spiral path inside a  cylindrical chamber.

✘ It consists of several long and narrow fabric filter bags suspended upside-down in a large  enclosure.

✓ When dirty air enters the chamber, the larger particulates strike the chamber wall and fall into a conical dust  hopper at the bottom.

✘ Fans blow dirt-filled air upward from the bottom of the enclosure, trapping dirt particles inside the  filter bags and releasing clean air from the top.

✓ The top of the chamber has an outlet that lets out cleaned air.

Basically, any of these choices that have the word "filter" are wrong. The point of the cyclone device is to separate the particles without the use of filters. You can tell the right answers based on the picture attached below.
