Donna drove to the mountains last weekend. There was heavy traffic on the way there, and the trip took 8 hours. When Donna drove

home, there was no traffic and the trip only took 4 hours. If her average rate was 45 miles per hour faster on the trip home, how far away does Donna live from the mountains?

Answer:

d=360 miles

Donna lives 360 miles from the mountains.

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

We apply the formula to calculate uniform moving distance[

d=v*t   Formula (1)

d: distance in miles

t: time in hours

v: speed in miles/hour

Development of problem

The distance Donna traveled to the mountains is equal to the distance back home, equal to d,then,we pose the kinematic equations for d, applying formula 1:

travel data to the mountains: t₁= 8 hours ,  v=v₁

d= v₁*t₁=8*v₁ Equation (1)

data back home : t₂=4hours ,  v=v₂=v₁+45

d=v₂*t₂=(v₁+45)*4=4v₁+180 Equation (2)

Equation (1)=Equation (2)

8*v₁=4v₁+180

8*v₁-4v₁=180

4v₁=180

v₁=180÷4=45 miles/hour

we replace v₁=45 miles/hour in equation (1)

d=8hour*45miles/hour

d=360 miles

In my opinion, i think the first one is the best one since we're cutting down on paper wasted in mails when its better to do it online.

A particle of charge 2.0 x 10^-8C experiences an upward force of magnitude 4.0 x10^-6 when it is placed in a particular point in
koban [17]

Answer:

a) The electric field at that point is 2.0\times 10^{2} newtons per coulomb.

b) The electric force is 2.0\times 10^{-6} newtons.

Explanation:

a) Let suppose that electric field is uniform, then the following electric field can be applied:

E = \frac{F_{e}}{q} (1)

Where:

E - Electric field, measured in newtons per coulomb.

F_{e} - Electric force, measured in newtons.

q - Electric charge, measured in coulombs.

If we know that F_{e} = 4.0\times 10^{-6}\,N and q = 2.0\times 10^{-8}\,C, then the electric field at that point is:

E = \frac{4.0\times 10^{-6}\,N}{2.0\times 10^{-8}\,C}

E = 2.0\times 10^{2}\,\frac{N}{C}

The electric field at that point is 2.0\times 10^{2} newtons per coulomb.

b) If we know that E = 2.0\times 10^{2}\,\frac{N}{C} and q = 1.0\times 10^{-8}\,C, then the electric force is:

F_{e} = E\cdot q

F_{e} = \left(2.0\times 10^{2}\,\frac{N}{C} \right)\cdot (1.0\times 10^{-8}\,C)

F_{e} = 2.0\times 10^{-6}\,N

The electric force is 2.0\times 10^{-6} newtons.

Radar uses radio waves of a wavelength of 2.9 m . The time interval for one radiation pulse is 100 times larger than the time of
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

145 m

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength (λ) = 2.9 m  

we know,

c = f × λ  

where,

c = speed of light ; 3.0 x 10⁸ m/s

f = frequency  

thus,

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}

substituting the values in the equation we get,

f=\frac{3.0\times 10^8 m/s}{2.9m}

f = 1.03 x 10⁸Hz  

Now,

The time period (T) = \frac{1}{f}

or

T =  \frac{1}{1.03\times 10^8}  = 9.6 x 10⁻⁹ seconds  

thus,

the time interval of one pulse = 100T = 9.6 x 10⁻⁷ s  

Time between pulses = (100T×10) = 9.6 x 10⁻⁶ s  

Now,

For radar to detect the object the pulse must hit the object and come back to the detector.

Hence, the shortest distance will be half the distance travelled by the pulse back and forth.

Distance = speed × time = 3 x 10^8 m/s × 9.6 x 10⁻⁷ s) = 290 m {Back and forth}  

Thus, the minimum distance to target = \frac{290}{2} = 145 m

An alternator provides 20 A of peak current at 100 V peak AC to a resistive electric heater. How much heating power is delivered
Liono4ka [1.6K]

-- The resistance of the heater is (volts/current) = 5 ohms

-- The heating (RMS) value of a sinusoidal AC is V(peak)/√2 .  For this particular alternator, V(peak)=100V, so the heating (RMS) equivalent is 70.71 V.

-- The heating power delivered to the electric heater is (E²/R).

Power = (100/√2)² / 5

Power = 5,000 / 5

<u>Power = 1,000 watts </u>
