Answer:

v = 2 v₁ v₂ / (v₁ + v₂)

Explanation:

The body travels the first half of the distance with velocity v₁.  The time it takes is:

t₁ = (d/2) / v₁

t₁ = d / (2v₁)

Similarly, the body travels the second half with velocity v₂, so the time is:

t₂ = (d/2) / v₂

t₂ = d / (2v₂)

The average velocity is the total displacement over total time:

v = d / t

v = d / (t₁ + t₂)

v = d / (d / (2v₁) + d / (2v₂))

v = d / (d/2 (1/v₁ + 1/v₂))

v = 2 / (1/v₁ + 1/v₂)

v = 2 / ((v₁ + v₂) / (v₁ v₂))

v = 2 v₁ v₂ / (v₁ + v₂)

You hold a ruler that has a charge on its tip 6 cm above a small piece of tissue paper to see if it can be picked up. The ruler
Fed [463]

Answer:

9.81 × 10⁻¹⁰ C

Explanation:

Given:

Distance between the tissue and the tip of the scale, r = 6 cm = 0.06 m

Charge on the ruler, Q = - 12 μC = - 12 × 10⁻⁶ C

Mass of the tissue = 3 g = 0.003 Kg

Now,

The force required to pick the tissue, F = mg

where, g is the acceleration due to gravity

also,

The force between (F) the charges is given as:

F=\frac{kQq}{r^2}

where,

q is the charge on the tissue

k is the Coulomb's constant = 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²

thus,

mg=\frac{kQq}{r^2}

on substituting the respective values, we get

0.003\times9.81=\frac{9\times10^9\times(-12\times10^{-6})\times q}{0.06^2}

or

q = 9.81 × 10⁻¹⁰ C

Minimum charge required to pick the tissue paper is 9.81 × 10⁻¹⁰ C

The vibrations along a transverse wave move in a direction _________.
GrogVix [38]

Answer: perpendicular to it oscillations.

Explanation: A transverse wave is a wave whose oscillations is perpendicular to the direction of the wave.

By perpendicular, we mean that the wave is oscillating on the vertical axis (y) of a Cartesian plane and the vibration is along the horizontal axis (x) of the plane.

Examples of transverse waves includes wave in a string, water wave and light.

Let us take a wave in a string for example, you tie one end of a string to a fixed point and the other end is free with you holding it.

If you move the rope vertically ( that's up and down) you will notice a kind of wave traveling away from you ( horizontally) to the fixed point.

Since the oscillations is perpendicular to the direction of wave, it is a transverse wave

A cup of coffee is sitting on a table in a train that is moving with a constant velocity. The coefficient of static friction bet
Vikki [24]

Answer:

a = 2.94 m/s²

Explanation:

In order for the cup not to slip, the unbalanced force on cup must be equal to the frictional force:

Unbalanced Force = Frictional Force

ma = μR = μW

ma = μmg

a = μg

where,

a = maximum acceleration for the cup not to slip = ?

μ = coefficient of static friction = 0.3

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

a = (0.3)(9.8 m/s²)

<u>a = 2.94 m/s²</u>
