When it has rained for 20 minutes
cricket20 [7]4 years ago

When driving in rain, the road becomes the most slippery <em>right after it starts to rain</em>.

As the first rainwater hits the road, it mixes with the oil, rubber tire particles, and other gunk on the pavement, forming a very slippery coating on the surface.

After it has rained for a while, a lot of that gunk gets washed away, and most of the slipperiness is just water ... which is pretty slippery on its own, but not as slippery as it is when it has oil and rubber particles in it too.

Displacement vector points due east and has a magnitude of 3.35 km. Displacement vector points due north and has a magnitude of
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

(a) 6.56 km

(b) 59.68^\circ north of west

Explanation:

Given:

\vec{d}_1= 3.35\ km\ east = 3.35\ km\ \hat{i}\\\vec{d}_2= 9.31\ km\ north = 9.31\ km\ \hat{j}\\\vec{d}_3= 6.66\ km\ west = -6.61\ km\ \hat{i}\\\vec{d}_4= 3.65\ km\ south = -3.65\ km\ \hat{j}\\

Let the resultant displacement vector be \vec{D}.

As the resultant is the vector sum of all the vectors.

\therefore \vec{D}=\vec{d}_1+\vec{d}_2+\vec{d}_3+\vec{d}_4\\\Rightarrow \vec{D} =(3.35\ km\ \hat{i})+(9.31\ km\ \hat{j})+(-6.61\ km\ \hat{i})+(-3.65\ km\ \hat{j})\\\Rightarrow \vec{D} =-3.31\ km\ \hat{i}+5.66\ km\ \hat{j}\\\textrm{Magnitude of the resultant displacement vector} = \sqrt{(-3.31)^2+(5.66)^2}\ km= 6.56\ km\\

\textrm{Angle with the positive west} = \theta = \tan^{-1}(\dfrac{5.66}{3.31})= 59.68^\circ

When the lights of an automobile are switched on, an ammeter in series with them reads 12 A and a voltmeter connected across the
Anarel [89]

Answer:

a) Emf of battery = 15.6 V

b) Current through the starting motor = 104 A

Explanation:

The image for the question seem not to be attached but, when the starting motor wasn't connected, the lights are in series with the battery connection and when the starting motor is connected, it is in parallel with the lights.

a) For this part, we use the information when the starting motor isn't connected.

Let the emf of the battery be E = ?

The voltage across the terminals be V = 15 V

Let the internal resistance of the battery be R = 0.05 ohms

And the current in the circuit be I = 12 A

Since the internal resistance is modelled to be in series with the battery, the loop equation for this circuit will be

E = V + IR

E = 15 + (12)(0.05) = 15 + 0.6 = 15.6 V

From this information now, we can obtain the resistance of the lights.

From Ohm's law,

Voltage across the lights = 15 V

Current through the lights = 12 A

Resistance of the lights = R₀

V = IR₀

R₀ = (15/12) = 1.25 ohms

b) Now, the starting motor is connected and the resistance in the circuit is if the form

Internal resistance in series with the parallel combination of resistance of starting motor and the resistance of the lights.

Current through the lights = 8.0 A

Voltage across the lights = IR₀ = 8×1.25 = 10 V.

Since the starting motor is in parallel with the lights, they will have the same voltage across them, that is, 10 V

But the voltage across the internal resistance = (Emf of battery) - (Voltage across the parallel combination of lights and starting motor) = 15.6 - 10 = 5.6 V

Current through the internal resistance = (5.6/0.05) = 112 A

Current through the starting motor = 112 - 8 = 104 A

Hope this Helps!!!

A ceiling fan draws a current of 0.625 A and has a voltage of 120 V. The resistance of the ceiling fan, to the nearest whole num
Fiesta28 [93]
So we want to know what is the resistance of the ceiling fan if the current I=0.625 A and the voltage V=120 V. So we can get the resistance from Ohms law: I=V/R where I is the current, V is voltage and R is resistance. So the resistance is R=V/I. Now we input the numbers and get: R=120/0.625=192 Ω. That is resistance to the closest whole number.

A cabinet measures 1.20m by5m by75cm what is the volume
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

4.5

Explanation:

volume is length x breath x height

since 75 is in cm, we convert it to metre

= 0.75m

= 1.2m x 5m x 0.75m

=

4.5m {}^{3}
