Answer:

Total time taken=110 seconds

Total distance traveled=480m

Explanation:

First of all, we find the total time taken:

For that, we use the formula : Distance/Speed= Time

Time for part 1 : 200/5=40 seconds

Time for part 2 : 280/4=70seconds

Total time taken=110 seconds

Total distance traveled=480m

Average Speed= 480/110=4.36 m/s

Total displacement=200-280=-80m (Since this is displacement, we need to find the distance between the initial and final point. Also, I've taken east direction as positive and west as negative)

Average Velocity=-80/110=-0.72 m/s

OR 0.72m/s towards west.

the system shown above is released from rest. if friction is negligible, the acceleration of the 4.0 kg block sliding on the tab
JulsSmile [24]

The acceleration of the first block (4 kg) is -9.8 m/s².

The given parameters:

  • <em>Mass of the first block, m₁ = 4.0 kg</em>
  • <em>Mass of the second block, m₂ = 2.0 kg</em>

The net force on the system of the two blocks is calculated as follows;

m_2 g - T = m_1 a

where;

  • <em>T </em><em>is the tension in the connecting string due weight of the first block</em>

m_2 g - m_1 g = m_1 a\\\\a = \frac{m_2 g - m_1g}{m_1} \\\\a = \frac{g(m_2 - m_1)}{m_1} \\\\a = \frac{9.8(2-4)}{2} \\\\a = -9.8 \ m/s^2

Thus, the acceleration of the first block (4 kg) is -9.8 m/s².

To reduce inductive reactance, what devices are normally placed on transmission or distribution lines?
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer : Capacitors

Explanation : Capacitors are normally  placed on transmission or distribution lines when to reduce inductive reactance.

This is because it enhances electromechanical and voltage stability , limit voltage dips at network nodes and reduces the power loss.

So, we can say that inductive reactance normally replace by the capacitors.

80N force ;
lutik1710 [3]

The power of the engine is 320 W.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Power may be defined as the rate of doing work (or) work done per unit time. One unit of energy is used to do the one unit of work.

                          Power = Work done / Time taken

Given, Force = 80 N,    height = 5 m , final velocity = 4 m/s

To calculate the power, we must know the time taken.

To find the time, use the distance and speed formula which is given by

                              Time = Distance / speed

Here distance = 5 m and speed = 4 m/s

                              Time = 5 / 4 = 1.25 s.

Now,          Power = work done / time

                              = (F * d) / t  = (80 * 5) / 1.25

                  Power = 320 W.

The standard unit of power is watt (W) which is joule per second.
