A swimmer swims 110 m toward the shore in 72 s. What is the swimmers velocity in neters per second?

Physics
1 answer:
MrRissso [65]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

1.53 m/s

Explanation:

Velocity is given in meters per second, so if it takes the swimmer 72 second to swim 110 meters:

m/s = 110 meters / 72 seconds = 1.527 or 1.53 m/s

Two resistors with a resistance of 10 ohms each are connected in parallel. what is the resistance of the combination?
Veseljchak [2.6K]
From the ohms law resistance is given by dividing the amount of current by the potential difference (voltage). In a circuit resistors may be arranged in series or parallel which determines the total effective resistance of the circuit depending on the arrangement used.
When resistance are in parallel we apply the formula 1/Rt=1/R1 +1/R2 where Rt is the total resistance, R1 resistance of the first resistor and R2 the resistance of the second resistor.
therefore, 1/Rt = 1/10 +1/10 =2/20 which when simplified is 1/10, therefore 1/Rt is 1/10, to get Rt we do the reciprocal to get 10 ohms.
Therefore the effective resistance of the combined resistors in parallel is 10 ohms

Which of the following are examples of climate? Select all that apply.
vovangra [49]

Dry climates are hot with little precipitation, and include areas of the Earth that have deserts or grasslands. Tropical climates are hot and can have a lot of precipitation. Regions that include rainforests or have monsoon seasons are examples of tropical climates.

Ree is 27 inches tall on her first birthday. She grows around 6 inches per year after that. What is the rate of change for the s
RSB [31]

Answer:

6

Explanation:

The rate of change in this scenario corresponds to the number of inches that Ree grows every year. Basically, Ree's height can be written as a linear equation as follows:

y=mx+q

where

x is the number of years after the first birthday

y is the height in inches

q = 27 is the height of Ree on her first birthday

m = 6 is the inches gained by Ree at each birthday

So the equation can also be rewritten as

y = 6x + 27

Light with a wavelength range of 141–295 nm shines on a silicon surface in a photoelectric effect apparatus, and a reversing pot
Ksju [112]

Answer:

a) the longest wavelength of the light that will eject electrons from the silicon surface is 258.7891 nm

b) maximum kinetic energy will electrons reach the anode is 0.5098 eV

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength range = 141-295 nm

Potential of 3.5 V

For the silicon, the work function is Φ = 4.8 eV = 7.68x10⁻¹⁹J

Questions:

a) What is the longest wavelength of the light that will eject electrons from the silicon surface, λ = ?

b) With what maximum kinetic energy will electrons reach the anode,

a) The longest wavelength that will eject electrons:

\lambda =\frac{hc}{\phi  }

Here

h = Planck's constant = 6.625x10⁻³⁴J s

c = speed of light = 3x10⁸m/s

Substituting values:

\lambda =\frac{6.625x10^{-34}*3x10^{8}  }{7.68x10^{-19} } =2.588x10^{-7} m=258.7891nm

b) The maximum kinetic energy (one electron):

K=\frac{hc}{\lambda } -\phi =\frac{6.625x10^{-34}*3x10^{8}  }{141x10^{-9} } -7.68x10^{-19} =6.416x10^{-19} J=4.0098eV

Now, you need to calculate the potential difference:

K'=eV

Here

e = charge of electron = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹C

Substituting:

K'=1.6x10^{-19} *3.5=5.6x10^{-19} J=3.5eV

Now, the maximum kinetic energy of the electrons:

Kmax = 4.0098 - 3.5 = 0.5098 eV

How much charge can be placed on a capacitor with air between the plates before it breaks down if the area of each plate is 4.00
klio [65]

Explanation:

Let us assume that the separation of plate be equal to d and the area of plates is 9 \times 10^{-4} m^{2}. As the capacitance of capacitor is given as follows.

            C = \frac{\epsilon_{o}A}{d}

It is known that the dielectric strength of air is as follows.

               E = 3 \times 10^{6} V/m

Expression for maximum potential difference is that the capacitor can with stand is as follows.

                       dV = E × d

And, maximum charge that can be placed on the capacitor is as follows.

               Q = CV

                   = \frac{\epsilon_{o} A}{d} \times E \times d

                   = \epsilon_{o}AE

                   = 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \times 3 \times 10^{6} \times 4 \times 10^{-4}

                   = 1.062 \times 10^{-8} C

or,                = 10.62 nC

Thus, we can conclude that charge on capacitor is 10.62 nC.
