The answer is 789.25 which you’d subtract 2011.25-122.2 I think sry if I’m wrong

Answer:

a) $16.45 \frac{m}{s}$ b) $36.94 \frac{mi}{h}$

Explanation:

The average speed is given by the formula: $\frac{distance}{time}$

The distance covered is 2011.25m , and the time is 122.2s.

Replacing in the formula: $speed_{avg} = \frac{2011.25 m}{122.2s}$

Resulting in a) $speed_{avg} = 16.45 \frac{m}{s}$ .

To get the result in mi/h, do the following conversion:

<em>Knowing : 1 mi = 1603 m and 1 h = 3600 seg </em>

<em> $16.45\frac{ m}{s}*(\frac{1mi}{1603m } ) *(\frac{3600s}{1h} ) = 36.94\frac{mi}{h}$ </em>

Answer:

When the heat is heated it will be melted of ice, why it still remain at a constant temperature of 0◦ C.

Explanation:

Solution

The heat given by the heater will be used in melting of the ice, therefore the temperature will remain the same at the degree of 0◦ C.

After the ice is fully melted, the temperature of water will begin to increase with time.

The erg is a unit of work in units of centimeters (cm), grams (g), and seconds (s), and 1 erg=1 g⋅cm^2/s^2 . Recall that the SI

OverLord2011 [107]

For the given problem, the amount of work done expressed in ergs is 3200 ergs.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation: </u>

The work done on an objects are the force acting on it to move the object to a particular distance. So, work done on the object will be directly proportional to the force acting on it and the displacement.

Here, the force acting on the object is given as 0.010 N and the displacement of the object is 0.032 m. So, the work done on the object is

$\text { Work done }=\text { Force } \times \text { displacement }$

$\text { Work done }=0.010 \mathrm{N} \times 0.032 \mathrm{m}=0.00032 \mathrm{Nm}$

It is known that $1 N=1 \mathrm{kg} \mathrm{ms}^{-2}$

So, the work done can be expressed in $k g m s^{-2}$ as,

$\text { Work done }=0.00032 \mathrm{kgm}^{2} \mathrm{s}^{-2}$

It is known that $1 \mathrm{erg}=1 \mathrm{g} \mathrm{cm}^{2} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$ , so the conversion of units from Nm to erg will be done as follows:

$\text { Work done }=0.00032 \mathrm{kgm}^{2} \mathrm{s}^{-2} \times \frac{1000 \mathrm{g}}{1 \mathrm{kg}} \times \frac{100 * 100 \mathrm{cm}^{2}}{m^{2}}=3200 \mathrm{g} \mathrm{cm}^{2} \mathrm{s}^{-2}$

Thus, work done in ergs is 3200 ergs.

1. A beam of charged particles enters a magnetic field and travels in a helical or spiral path What does the shape of the path i

Makovka662 [10]

B. The initial velocity has components both parallel and perpendicular to the magnetic field.

Explanation:

When a charged particle moves in a magnetic field, it experiences a force which is given by

$F=qvB sin \theta$

where

q is the charge

v is the velocity of the particle

B is the strength of the magnetic field

$\theta$ is the angle between the directions of v and B

From this formula, it is clear that the force has only a component in the direction perpendicular to direction of the the motion of the particle. Therefore:

if the initial velocity is perpendicular to the magnetic field, then the particle will follow a perfectly circular path
If the initial velocity is parallel to the magnetic field, then the particle will continue moving straight, since it will experience no force
If the initial velocity has components both parallel and perpendicular to the magnetic field, then it will move in a helical or spiral path, which is a composition of the two motions above (straight motion + circular motion)

The basic function of an automobile carburetor is to atomize the gasoline and mix it with air to promote rapid combustion. Assum

Answer:

$A = 7.5 \times 10^6 m^2$

Explanation:

Since volume of all the liquid is always conserved

so here we know that

$V_{total} = N V$

$25 cm^3 = N(\frac{4}{3}\pir^3)$

$25 = N (\frac{4}{3} \pi (1.0 \times 10^{-5})^3)$

$N = 5.97 \times 10^{15}$

now we know that total surface area is given as

$A = N(4\pi r^2)$

$A = (5.97 \times 10^{15})(4\pi (1 \times 10^{-5})^2$

$A = 7.5 \times 10^6 m^2$
