Answer:

22.2 m/s

Explanation:

First, we need to convert km to m by multiplying by 1000. This means that the car traveled 320 000 meters.

Next, we convert hours to minutes by multiplying by 3600 (the number of seconds in an hour). This means that overall, the car traveled 320 000 m in 14 400 seconds.

The average speed can be found by using the equation $\frac{distance}{time}$ . After substitution, this gives the fraction $\frac{320 000}{14 400}$ , which reduces to 22 $\frac{2}{9}$ m/s, or about 22.2 m/s.

Xavier is roller skating at 14 km/h and tosses a set of keys forward on the ground at 8 km/h. The speed of the keys relative to

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

22km/h

Explanation:

The speed of the keys relative to the ground will be given by the sum of speed of keys with respect to the ground and the speed of keys with respect to the skater

Given that the speed of keys with respect to the ground is 8 m/s while the speed of keys with respect to skater is 14 km/h then the relative speed which combines both speeds will be 8+14=22 km/hr

An lc circuit oscillates at a frequency of 2000 Hz. What will the frequency be if the inductance is quadrupled?

Irina-Kira [14]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

An LC circuits if formed by an inductor and a capacitor. The charge on the capacitor and the current through the inductor both vary sinusoidally with time. Also, energy is transferred between magnetic energy in the inductor and electrical energy in the capacitor. But <em>what happens with the frequency if the inductance is quadrupled? </em>that is, if initially the inductance is $L$ and the frecuency $f=2000Hz$ if now $L_{New}=4L$ What will the frequency be? Well, we know that the frequency, inductance and capacitance are related as:

$f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{1}{LC}}$

and this equals 2000Hz. If now L is quadrupled:

$f_{1}=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{1}{4LC}}=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}}\sqrt{\frac{1}{LC}} \\ \\ \therefore f_{1}=(\frac{1}{2})\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{1}{LC}} \\ \\ \\ Since \ f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{1}{LC}} \ then: \\ \\ f_{1}=\frac{1}{2}f \therefore f_{1}=\frac{2000}{2} \\ \\ \therefore \boxed{f_{1}=1000Hz}$

<em>Finally, if L is quadrupled the frequency is half the original frequency and equals 1000Hz</em>

A charged balloon will stick to a neutral wall. which process is involved?

Leokris [45]

<span>The charged balloon will stick to a neutral wall because of the Static Electricity:
</span>
The matter is formed by atoms and these atoms are composed of electrons, protons and neutrons (the electrons have a negative charge, the protons have a positive charge and the neutrons have no charge).

As the balloon is charged (It gained electrons), and the charge of the same sign repel each other, when it approaches the wall, the electrons of this wall will move away, and the positive charges (protons) will remain in the nearest area to the balloon. As the charges of different signs are attracted, the balloon will be stuck to the wall.
