Answer:

it is the instantaneous speed of the bike rider.

Explanation:

First of all, let's remind the difference between speed and velocity:

- speed is a scalar, and it is the ratio between the distance covered and the time taken:

v=\frac{d}{t}

- velocity is a vector, which consists of a magnitude (the speed) and a direction as well.

The term 'instantaneous' means that the speed (or velocity) is measured at one precise instant of time, while the term 'average' means it is measured over a longer time period.

Based on all these definitions above, we can conclude that the correct answer is

it is the instantaneous speed of the bike rider.

Because in this problem, only the speed is given (no direction), so this is not a velocity, and also it is measured at one precise instant of time, so it is an instantaneous speed.

A 5-turn square loop (10 cm along aside, resistance = 4.0 ) is placed in a magnetic field that makes an angle of30o with the pla
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Area A of the coil = .1 x .1 = .01 m²

no of turns n = 5

magnetic field B = .5 t²

Flux  Φ perpendicular to plane passing through it.= nBA sin30

rate of change of flux

dΦ/dt = nAdBsin30 / dt

= nA d/dt (.5t²x .5 )

= nA x 2 x .25 x t

At t = 4s

dΦ/dt = nA x 2

= 5x .01 x 2

= .1

current = induced emf / resistance

= .1 / 4

= .025 A

= 25 mA.

Physics question, help please!

The change in potential energy when the block falls to ground is -480J.

The maximum change in kinetic energy of the ball is 480 J.

The initial kinetic energy of the ball is 0 J.

The final  kinetic energy of the ball is 0.148J.

The initial potential energy of the ball is 0.187 J.

The final  potential energy of the ball is 0 J.

The work done by the air resistance is 0.039 J.

<h3>Change in potential energy when the block falls to ground</h3>

ΔP.E = -mgh

ΔP.E = -Wh

ΔP.E = - 40 x 12

ΔP.E = -480 J

<h3>Maximum change in kinetic energy of the ball</h3>

ΔK.E = - ΔP.E

ΔK.E = - (-480 J)

ΔK.E = 480 J

<h3>Initial kinetic energy of the ball</h3>

K.Ei = 0.5mv²

where;

  • v is zero since it is initially at rest

K.Ei = 0.5m(0) = 0

<h3>Final kinetic energy</h3>

K.Ef =  0.5mv²

K.Ef = 0.5(0.0091)(5.7)²

K.Ef = 0.148 J

<h3>Initial potential energy of the ball</h3>

P.Ei = mghi

P.Ei = 0.0091 x 9.8 x 2.1

P.Ei = 0.187 J

<h3>Final potential energy</h3>

P.Ef = mghf

P.Ef = 0.0091 x 9.8 x 0

P.Ef = 0

<h3>Work done by the air resistance</h3>

W = ΔE

W = P.E - K.E

W = 0.187 J - 0.148 J

W = 0.039 J

The speed on a car speedometer. Is it speed or velocity? Explain Why
Sliva [168]
Velocity is a speed AND a direction.
When you turn a corner, or go around a curve in the road, your
direction changes, but the reading on the dial doesn't change.
So it can't be showing velocity.  It must be showing only speed.
That's probably a big part of the reason why it's called a speedometer
and not a velocimeter.

What is the gravitational potential energy of a tiger that weighs 200 N standing on a rock that is 2 m above the ground?
Nikitich [7]
G.P.E = mgh
Weight = mg = 200N

So G.P.E = 200 * 2 = 400 Joules
