A cyclist rides 8.0 km east for 20 minutes, then he turns and heads west for 8 minutes and 3.2 km. Finally he rides east for 16

km, which takes 40 minutes. (a) What is the final displacement of the cyclist? (b) What is his average velocity?

Answer:

1) The final displacement of cyclist is 20.8 km.

2) The average velocity of cyclist is 18.35 m/h

Explanation:

The path traced by the cyclist is as shown in the attached figure

from the attached figure we can see

1) Initial distance covered = 8.0 km east therefore OA = 8.0  km

2) When the cyclist turns and travels 3.2 km west thus AB = 3.2 km

3) From B the cyclist turns and travels 16 km east thus BC = 16.0 km

As we can see that the total displacement is OC = OA- AB + BC = 8.0-3.2+16 = 20.8 km

Thus the final displacement is 20.8 km.

Part b)

By definition of average velocity we have

v_{avg}=\frac{Total\cdot Displacement}{Total\cdot Time}=\frac{20.8}{20+8+40}=0.305km/min=18.35km/hr

Determine the values of mm and nn when the following average magnetic field strength of the Earth is written in scientific notat
joja [24]

Answer:

m = 4.51 and n = -5              

Explanation:

The average magnetic field strength of the Earth is 0.0000451 T. We need to write the value of magnetic field strength of the Earth in scientific notation. In scientific notation, any value is given by :

N=m\times 10^n.........(1)

Where

m is a real number

n is any integer

Here,

N=4.51\times 10^{-5}.......(2)

On comparing equation (1) and (2), we get the values as :

m = 4.51 and n = -5

Hence, this is the required solution.

Explain how two dangerous elements can form a compound that is edible
blsea [12.9K]

Two dangerous elements can form a compound that is edible known as "NaCl salt".

<u>Explanation:</u>

Sodium and chlorine are two very dangerous elements. As the reaction between sodium and water is extremely violent and chlorine is a very toxic gas. But combination of these elements result into a harmless product with unique properties like it is edible and dissolves without exploding in water.

In sodium chloride reaction the atoms of sodium interact with chlorine atoms. Sodium will donate an electron (by becoming positively charged) to acceptor chlorine (which become negatively charged) as given in following reaction

N a+C l_{2} \rightarrow N a C l

As sodium and chlorine are  very keen to achieve noble gas configuration by completing an octet on donating and accepting an electron respectively.

Ball a of mass 5.0 kilograms moving at 20 meters per second collides with ball b of unknown mass moving at 10 meters per second
RUDIKE [14]

M = mass of the ball A = 5.0 kg

m = mass of the ball B = ?

V = initial velocity of the ball A before collision = 20 m/s

v = initial velocity of the ball B  before collision = 10 m/s

V' = final velocity of the ball A after collision = 10 m/s

v' = final velocity of the ball B after collision = 15 m/s

using conservation of momentum

M V + m v = M V' + m v'

(5.0) (20) + m (10) = (5.0) (10) + m (15)

100 + 10 m= 50 + 15 m

5 m = 50

m= 10 m/s

A punter wants to kick a football so that the football has a total flight time of 3.7 s and lands 56m away (measured along the g
Irina18 [472]

The maximum height is 16.8 m

Explanation:

In order to find the maximum height reached by the football, we can just analyze its vertical motion.

The vertical motion of the ball is a free  fall motion, affected only by the force of gravity. So it is a uniformly accelerated motion, and we can use suvat equations.

First of all, we notice that the motion of the ball is symmetrical, so the time taken to reach the maximum height is equal to the time needed to fall down: Since the total time of flight is

T = 3.7 s

It means that the time to reach the maximum height is

t=\frac{T}{2}=\frac{3.7}{2}=1.85 s

We can now find the maximum height reached using the equation:

s=vt-\frac{1}{2}at^2

Where:

s is the vertical displacement (the maximum height)

v = 0 is the velocity of the ball at the maximum height

t = 1.85 s is the time

a=g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

Solving for s,

s=-\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)(1.85)^2=16.8 m
