A boat is moving at the rate of 15.0 meters per second. It’s speed is then decreased uniformly to 3.0 meters per second. It take

s 4 seconds for the speed to decrease. What is the magnitude of the deceleration of the car ?

Answer:

-3 m/s²

Explanation:

The formula for deceleration is given as the change in speed over a period of time

Given that,

Initial speed = 15 m/s

Final speed = 3 m/s

change in speed= 3-15= -12 m/s

Time taken= 4 sec

Deceleration = -12/4 = -3 m/s²

What is the difference between transverse and longitudinal waves?
Fed [463]

To explain how transverse and longitudinal waves work, let us give two examples for each particular case.

In the case of transverse waves, the displacement of the medium is PERPENDICULAR to the direction of the wave. One way to visualize this effect is when you have a rope and between two people the rope is shaken horizontally. The shift is done from top to bottom. This phenomenon is common to see it in solids but rarely in liquids and gases. A common application usually occurs in electromagnetic radiation.

On the other hand in the longitudinal waves the displacement of the medium is PARALLEL to the direction of propagation of the wave. A clear example of this phenomenon is when a Slinky is pushed along a table where each of the rings will also move. From practice, sound waves enclose the definition of longitudinal wave displacement.

Therefore the correct answer is:

C. In transverse waves the displacement is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave, while in longitudinal waves the displacement is parallel to the direction of propagation.

Consider an electrical transformer has 10 loops on its primary coil and 20 loops on its secondary coil. What is the voltage in t
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

240 V

Explanation:

number of turns in primary coil, Np = 10

Number of loops in secondary coil, Ns = 20

Voltage in primary coil, Vp = 120 V

Let the voltage in secondary coil is Vs.

So, Vs / Vp = Ns / Np

Vs / 120 = 20 / 10

Vs / 120  = 2

Vs = 240 V

Thus, the voltage in secondary coil is 240 Volt.

Find the electric flux passing through the 45° surface of an upright circular cone with a base diameter of 4 m if the electric f
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

electric flux = 177.625 N-m²/C

Explanation:

given data

angle = 45°

diameter = 4 m

electric field E = 20 N/C

to find out

electric flux

solution

we know electric flux formula that is

electric flux = E × A × cosθ     ..............1

here A is area that is

Area = πd²/4 = π(4)²/4 = 12.56 m²

now put all value in equation 1

electric flux = 20 × 12.56 × cos45

electric flux = 177.625 N-m²/C
