Mrs. Smith walks from her house 11.2 m to the grocer. Then she walks from the grocer 5.7 m to the pet store. Then she walks 32.7

m from the pet store to her daughter's house. Mrs. Smith's house is directly 23.5 m away from her daughter's house. If the trip took 17 minutes, what was the average velocity of Mrs. Smith?

Average velocity is defined as the ratio of displacement and time

Here we know that the total distance is the sum of all given distances but we need the displacement in order to find the velocity

So here displacement is straight line distance or direct distance from her home to her daughter home

It is given as 23.5 m

and it took total time of 17 minutes

so average velocity is

$v = \frac{displacement}{time}$

$v = \frac{23.5}{17\times 60}$

$v = 0.023 m/s$

So average velocity of Mrs Smith is 0.023 m/s

Find a numerical value for rhoearth, the average density of the earth in kilograms per cubic meter. Use 6378km for the radius of

mylen [45]

Answer:

density = 5520 kg/m^3

Explanation:

given that

radius of earth = 6378 km

G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ m³/kg.s²

g = 9.80 m/s²

we know,

$g = \dfrac{GM}{r^2}$

mass of earth

$M = \dfrac{gr^2}{G}$

$M = \dfrac{9.8 \times (6378 \times 10^3)^2}{6.67 \times 10^{-11}}$

M = 5.972 x 10²⁴ kg

density = $\dfrac{mass}{volume}$

V = volume of the earth = 4/3πr³

V = 4/3 x 3.14 x (6378 x 10³)³

V = 1.08 x 10²¹ m³

density = $\dfrac{5.972\times 10^{24}}{1.08\times 10^{21}}$

density = 5.52 x 10³ kg/m^3

density = 5520 kg/m^3

A world-class sprinter running a 100 m dash was clocked at 5.4 m/s 1.0 s after starting running and at 9.8 m/s 1.5 s later. In w

Answer:

<em>The output power is greater in the interval from 1.0 s to 2.5 s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Physical Power </u>

It measures the amount of work W an object does in certain time t. The formula needed to compute power is

$\displaystyle P=\frac{W}{t}$

Work can be computed in several ways since we are given the motion conditions, we'll use this formula, for F= applied force, x=distance parallel to F

$W=F.x$

The second Newton's law gives us the net force as

$F=m.a$

being m the mass of the object and a the acceleration it has for a given period of time. In our problem, we have two different behaviors for each interval and we must calculate this force since the acceleration is changing. Let's calculate the acceleration in the first interval. We can use the formula for the final speed vf knowing the initial speed vo (which is 0 because the sprinter starts from rest), the acceleration a, and the time t:

$v_f=v_o+at$

$v_f=at$

Solving for a

$\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f}{t}={5.4}{1}$

$a=5.4\ m/s^2$

The distance traveled in the interval is given by

$\displaystyle x=v_o.t+\frac{a.t^2}{2}$

Since vo=0

$\displaystyle x=\frac{a.t^2}{2}=\frac{5.4(1)^2}{2}$

$x=2.7\ m$

The force is given by

$F=m.a$

We don't know the value of m, so the force is

$F=2.7m$

Computing the work done by the sprinter

$W=F.x=2.7m(5.4)$

$W=14.58m$

The power is finally computed

$\displaystyle P=\frac{W}{t}=\frac{14.58m}{1}$

$P=14.58m$

During the second interval, from t=1 sec to 1.5 sec, the speed changes from 5.4 m/s to 9.8 m/s. This allows us to compute the second acceleration

$\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}=\frac{9.8-5.4}{0.5}$

$a=8.8\ m/s^2$

The distance is

$\displaystyle x=(5.4).(0.5)+\frac{8.8(0.5)^2}{2}$

$x=3.8\ m$

The net force is

$F=m(8.8)=8.8m$

The work done by the sprinter is now computed as

$W=8.8m(3.8)=33.44m$

At last, the output power is

$\displaystyle P=\frac{33.44m}{0.5}=66.88m$

By comparing both results, and being m the same for both parts, we conclude the output power is greater in the interval from 1.0 s to 2.5 s

Which statement is true of a wave that’s propagating along the pavement and girders of a suspension bridge?

alexandr1967 [171]

The statement which is true of a wave that’s propagating along the pavement and girders of a suspension bridge is A. The wave is mechanical, with particles vibrating in a direction that is parallel to that of the wave, forming compressions and rarefactions.

In the steady state 1.2 ✕ 1018 electrons per second enter bulb 1. There are 6.3 ✕ 1028 mobile electrons per cubic meter in tungs

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

E=12.2V/m

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must address the concepts of drift velocity. A drift velocity is the average velocity attained by charged particles, such as electrons, in a material due to an electric field.

The equation is given by,

$V=\frac{I}{nAq}$

Where,

V= Drift Velocity

I= Flow of current

n= number of electrons

q = charge of electron

A = cross-section area.

For this problem we know that there is a rate of 1.8*10^{18} electrons per second, that is

$\frac{I}{q} = 1.2*10^{18}$

$A= 1.3*10^{-8}m^2$

$n=6.3*10^{28} e/m^3$

$\omicron{O} = 1.2*10^{-4}(m/s)(N/c)$ Mobility

We can find the drift velocity replacing,

$V = \frac{1.2*10^{18}}{(1.3*10^{-8})(6.3*10^{28})}$

$V= 1.465*10^-3m/s$

The electric field is given by,

$E= \frac{V}{\omicron{O}}$

$E=\frac{1.465*10^-3}{1.2*10^{-4}}$

$E=12.2V/m$
