The time taken to complete her run is 1.9 hr.

Explanation:

Speed is a scalar quantity and it is defined as the ratio of distance covered to the time taken to cover that distance. As distance is also a scalar quantity, so the directions given in the problem can be ignored. Thus, the distance covered by the jogger is the sum of kilometers given in problem.

Distance covered = 6+5+4 = 15 km

And the speed is given as 8 km/hr.

So the time taken will be ratio of distance to speed.

$\text { time }=\frac{\text {distance}}{\text {speed}}=\frac{15}{8}=1.9 \text { hour }$

So the jogger will take 1.9 hr to complete her run.

A certain resistance thermometer read 14.5 ohms in pure melting ice and 18.5 ohms in steam at standard atmospheric pressure what

Vadim26 [7]

The resistance of the thermometer at room temperature is 15.04 ohms.

<h3 />

<h3>What is a resistance thermometer?</h3>

A resistance thermometer is a type of thermometer that measures temperature through a change in resistance.

To calculate the resistance of the thermometer at room temperature, we use the formula below.

Formula:

100/27 = 2/(x-14.5)..............Eqquation 1

Where:

x = Resistance of the thermometer at room temperature

Make x the subject of the equation

x = [(27×2)/100]+14.5
x = (54/100)+14.5
x = 0.54+14.5
x = 15.04 ohms.

Hence, The resistance of the thermometer at room temperature is 15.04 ohms.

One horse is pulling a 755 kg sled straight ahead applying a force of 1988 N. If the acceleration of the sled is 1.36 m/s2, what

Inessa [10]

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.13

Explanation:

Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force on it, the factor of proportionality is the mass. So, we can express that law mathematically as:

$\sum\overrightarrow{F}=m\overrightarrow{a}$ (1)

With F the net force, m the mass and a the acceleration of the object. In our case we're interested on what's happening to the sled, then we have to analyze the forces on it, those forces are the weight and the normal force on the vertical direction and the pulling force and frictional force in the horizontal direction. So, because (1) is a vector equation we can express that in their vertical (y) and horizontal (x) components:

$F_y=ma_y$ (2)

$F_x=ma_x$ (3)

On y we have that the acceleration is zero because the sled is not moving upward or downward, remember that the net force on y is the weight (W) pointing downward and the normal force pointing upward:

$F_y=W+n=0$

Following the convention that positive is upward and negative downward, W=mg=(755)(-9.81):

$F_y=(755)(-9.81)+n=0$

$n=7406.55 N$ (4)

Now on the x direction we have the sum of the forces is the pulling force (T) and friction force (f)

$F_x=F+f=ma_x$

Choosing the direction where the horse is pulling F=1988N and the acceleration should be positive too, then:

$1988+f=m(1.36)$

$f=(755)(1.36)-1988=-961.2 N$

The negative sign means it's in the opposite direction the horse is pulling

The frictional force is related with the coefficient of kinetic friction in the next way:

$|f|=\mu_k n$

with μk the coefficient of kinetic friction, and n the normal force that we already found on (4), so we simply solve the last equation for μk:

$\mu_k=\frac{|f|}{n}=\frac{961.2}{7406.55}=0.13$

Mains electricity is an ac supply. Explain the difference between direct and alternating potential difference.

Gennadij [26K]

Direct current (DC) is the flow of electric charge in only one direction. It is the steady state of a constant-voltage circuit. Most well-known applications, however, use a time-varying voltage source. Alternating current (AC) is the flow of electric charge that periodically reverses direction.
