Answer:

4.0 m/s

Explanation:

In the first part of the run, the athlete runs a distance of

$d_1 = 300 m$

at a speed of

$v_1 = 3.0 m/s$

So, the time he/she takes is

$t_1 = \frac{d_1}{v_1}=\frac{300}{3.0}=100 s$

In the second part of the run, the athlete covers an additional distance of

$d_2 = 300 m$

with a speed

$v_2 = 6.0 m/s$

So, the time taken in this second part is

$t_2 = \frac{d_2}{v_2}=\frac{300}{6.0}=50 s$

So, the total distance covered is

d = 300 m + 300 m = 600 m

And the total time taken

t = 100 s + 50 s = 150 s

Therefore, the average speed for the entire trip is

$v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{600}{150}=4.0 m/s$

A 13.5 μF capacitor is connected to a power supply that keeps a constant potential difference of 22.0 V across the plates. A pie

-BARSIC- [3]

a) $3.27\cdot 10^{-3} J$

b) $11.60\cdot 10^{-3} J$

c) $8.33\cdot 10^{-3} J$

Explanation:

a)

The energy stored in a capacitor is given by

$U=\frac{1}{2}CV^2$

where

C is the capacitance of the capacitor

V is the potential difference across the plates of the capacitor

For the capacitor in this problem, before insering the dielectric, we have:

$C=13.5 \mu F = 13.5\cdot 10^{-6}F$ is its capacitance

V = 22.0 V is the potential difference across it

Therefore, the initial energy stored in the capacitor is:

$U=\frac{1}{2}(13.5\cdot 10^{-6})(22.0)^2=3.27\cdot 10^{-3} J$

b)

After the dielectric is inserted into the plates, the capacitance of the capacitor changes according to:

$C'=kC$

where

k = 3.55 is the dielectric constant of the material

C is the initial capacitance of the capacitor

Therefore, the energy stored now in the capacitor is:

$U'=\frac{1}{2}C'V^2=\frac{1}{2}kCV^2$

where:

$C=13.5\cdot 10^{-6}F$ is the initial capacitance

V = 22.0 V is the potential difference across the plate

Substituting, we find:

$U'=\frac{1}{2}(3.55)(13.5\cdot 10^{-6})(22.0)^2=11.60\cdot 10^{-3} J$

C)

The initial energy stored in the capacitor, before the dielectric is inserted, is

$U=3.27\cdot 10^{-3} J$

The final energy stored in the capacitor, after the dielectric is inserted, is

$U'=11.60\cdot 10^{-3} J$

Therefore, the change in energy of the capacitor during the insertion is:

$\Delta U=11.60\cdot 10^{-3}-3.27\cdot 10^{-3}=8.33\cdot 10^{-3} J$

So, the energy of the capacitor has increased by $8.33\cdot 10^{-3} J$

A car traveling with 500,000 J of kinetic energy is brought to a kinetic energy of

allsm [11]

Answer:

33,333.33 N

Explanation:

Given that :

Initial kinetic energy = 500,000 J

Final kinetic energy = 100,000 J

Using the relation :

Force * time = change in momentum (Newton's law)

Force (F) * 0.12 = (500,000 - 100,000)

0.12F = 400,000 J

Force = (400,000 J) / 0.12s

Force = 33333.333

Force = 33,333.33 N

The first hill of a roller coaster is 42 meters high. The top of the second hill of the one

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

Part a)

Speed of the roller coaster is

$v = 13.3 m/s$

Part b)

Since it is moving with non zero speed at some height above the ground

So we will have

Kinetic energy + Potential energy Both

Explanation:

As we know that there is no friction on the path

So here we can use mechanical energy conservation law

so we will have

Part a)

$U_i + K_i = U_f + K_f$

$mgh + 0 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + mgH$

$34500(9.81)(42) = \frac{1}{2}(34500)v^2 + 34500(9.81)(33)$

$v = 13.3 m/s$

Part b)

Since it is moving with non zero speed at some height above the ground

So we will have

Kinetic energy + Potential energy Both
