Object A moves with a constant velocity of -10 m/s and object B moves with a constant velocity of 5 m/s. Which object has the la

rger speed?

KonstantinChe [14]3 years ago

Object A has the larger speed because speed is not a vector quantity, it is scalar. This means that directionality, or in this case the sign of the velocity, doesn’t matter.
Speed = |velocity|
Object a speed =|-10|=10 m/s
Object b speed =|5|=5 m/s

Object a is the answer.

Which has the greater acceleration, a person going from 0 m/s to 10 m/s in 10 seconds or an ant going from 0 m/s to 0.25 m/s in
monitta

<u>P</u><u>e</u><u>r</u><u>s</u><u>o</u><u>n</u><u>-</u><u>1</u>

  • Initial velocity=u=0m/s
  • Final velocity=v=10m/s
  • Time=10s=t

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{10-0}{10}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{10}{10}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=1m/s^2

<u>P</u><u>e</u><u>r</u><u>s</u><u>o</u><u>n</u><u>-</u><u>2</u>

  • initial velocity=0m/s=u
  • Final velocity=v=0.25m/s
  • Time=t=2s

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{0.25-0}{2}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{0.25}{2}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=0.125m/s^2

Person-1 is accelerating faster.

How do you know that potassium an alkali metal is highly reactive
Pavel [41]

Potassium is in the most reactive group of elements, the alkali metals, but it's not the most reactive metal within the group. The alkali metals, Group 1A, are the most reactive metals because they have one valence or outer electron. They lose this electron very easily, forming ions with a charge of +1.

The emf induced in a coil that is rotating in a magnetic field will be at a maximum at which moment?
adelina 88 [10]
TLDR: It will reach a maximum when the angle between the area vector and the magnetic field vector are perpendicular to one another.

This is an example that requires you to investigate the properties that occur in electric generators; for example, hydroelectric dams produce electricity by forcing a coil to rotate in the presence of a magnetic field, generating a current.

To solve this, we need to understand the principles of electromotive forces and Lenz’ Law; changing the magnetic field conditions around anything with this potential causes an induced current in the wire that resists this change. This principle is known as Lenz’ Law, and can be described using equations that are specific to certain situations. For this, we need the two that are useful here:

e = -N•dI/dt; dI = ABcos(theta)

where “e” describes the electromotive force, “N” describes the number of loops in the coil, “dI” describes the change in magnetic flux, “dt” describes the change in time, “A” describes the area vector of the coil (this points perpendicular to the loops, intersecting it in open space), “B” describes the magnetic field vector, and theta describes the angle between the area and mag vectors.

Because the number of loops remains constant and the speed of the coils rotation isn’t up for us to decide, the only thing that can increase or decrease the emf is the change in magnetic flux, represented by ABcos(theta). The magnetic field and the size of the loop are also constant, so all we can control is the angle between the two. To generate the largest emf, we need cos(theta) to be as large as possible. To do this, we can search a graph of cos(theta) for the highest point. This occurs when theta equals 90 degrees, or a right angle. Therefore, the electromotive potential will reach a maximum when the angle between the area vector and the magnetic field vector are perpendicular to one another.

Hope this helps!

An ice cube of mass 50.0 g can slide without friction up and down a 25.0 degree slope. The ice cube is pressed against a spring
lozanna [386]

Answer:

0.6 m

Explanation:

When a spring is compressed it stores potential energy. This energy is:

Ep = 1/2 * k * x^2

Being x the distance it compressed/stretched.

When the spring bounces the ice cube back it will transfer that energy to the cube, it will raise up the slope, reaching a high point where it will have a speed of zero and a potential energy equal to what the spring gave it.

The potential energy of the ice cube is:

Ep = m * g * h

This is vertical height and is related to the distance up the slope by:

sin(a) = h/d

h = sin(a) * d

Replacing:

Ep = m * g * sin(a) * d

Equating both potential energies:

1/2 * k * x^2 = m * g * sin(a) * d

d = (1/2 * k * x^2) / (m * g * sin(a))

d= (1/2 * 25 * 0.1^2) / (0.05 * 9.81 * sin(25)) = 0.6 m
