A horse travels 80 meters south in 20 seconds. What is its average velocity?

1 answer:

7 0

Average velocity is a vector unit (i.e. includes magnitude and direction) calculated by working out distance ÷ time:

80 metres ÷ 20 seconds = 4 metres/seconds (m/s)

Therefore, your final answer is C. 4 m/s south.

Calculate the mass (in g) of 346 cm³ of polythene. The density of polythene is 0.95 g/cm³. Give your answer to 2 decimal places.

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

M = 328.70g

Explanation:

From the given values:

V = 346 cm³

M of 1 cm³ of Polythene = 0.95g or 95/100g

Solve:

M = (95×346)

= 32870

100

M = 328.70g

A neutron consists of one "up" quark of charge +2e/3 and two "down" quarks each having charge -e/3. If we assume that the down q

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force is 120.85 N

Explanation:

We can use Coulomb's law to find the electrostatic force between the down quarks.

In scalar form, Coulomb's law states that for charges $q_1$ and $q_2$ separated by a distance d, the magnitude of the electrostatic force F between them is:

$F = k \frac{|q_1q_2|}{d^2}$

where $k$ is Coulomb's constant.

Taking the values:

$d = 4.6 \ 10^{-15} m$

$q_1 = q_2 = - \frac{e}{3} = - \frac{1.6 \ 10^{-19} \ C}{3}$

and knowing the value of the Coulomb's constant:

$k = 8.99 \ 10 ^{9} \frac{N m^2}{C^2}$

Taking all this in consideration:

$F = 8.99 \ 10 ^{9} \frac{N m^2}{C^2} \frac{ (- \frac{1.6 \ 10^{-19} \ C}{3} ) ^2}{(4.6 \ 10^{-15} m)^2}$

$F = 120.85 \ N$

3.7. A dog searching for a bone walks 3.50 m south, then 8.20 m at an angle 23.1 degrees north of east, and finally 15.0 m west.

andriy [413]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall represent displacement of dog in vector form , in terms of i , j , i representing east and j representing north .

Dog travels 3.5 m south .

Displacement D₁ = - 3.5 j

then dog travels 8.2 m , 23.1 degree north of east

Displacement D₂ = 8.2 cos23.1 i + 8.2 sin23 j

D₂ = 8.2 cos23.1 i + 8.2 sin23.1 j

= 7.54 i + 3.22 j

Third displacement

D₃ = - 15i

Total displacement = D₁ + D₂ + D₃

= - 3.5 j + 7.54 i + 3.22 j -15i

= - 7.46 i - 0.28 j

Magnitude of displacement = √ ( 7.46² + .28²)

= √(55.65 + .08 )

= 7.46 m

b ) Direction of displacement

If Ф be angle , displacement makes with west direction

TanФ = .08 / 55.65 = .00143

Ф = .082 degree south of west or almost west .

From east , this angle = 180 + .082 = 180.082 , counterclockwise .

How can you be both at rest and also moving at 100,000 km/h at the same time

4vir4ik [10]

You could be lying completley still on your bed, and all though it seems you are at rest, you are moving along with the earth around the sun and hence are motion. This is why 'being at rest' is more of a relative term. Hope this helps!

A wall clock has a second hand 22.0 cmcm long. For related problem-solving tips and strategies, you may want to view a Video Tut

olga55 [171]

Answer:

Explanation:

The tip of the second hand moves on a circular path having radius equal to .22 m . Redial acceleration is given by the expression

ω²R where ω is angular velocity and R is radius of the circular path .

angular velocity of second hand = 2π / T where T is time period of circular motion . For second hand it is 60 s.

ω = 2π / T

= 2π / 60

= .1047

angular acceleration = .1047² x .22

= 2.41 x 10⁻³ rad / s² .
