Complete question is;

Consider a bus traveling to the west (-x direction) begins to slow down as it approaches a traffic light. Which statement concerning its acceleration in the x direction is correct

a) The bus is decelerating and its acceleration is positive.

b) The bus is decelerating, and its acceleration is negative.

c) The acceleration is zero.

d) A statement cannot be made using the information given.

Answer:

Option A - bus is decelerating and acceleration is positive.

Explanation:

We are told that the bus is travelling in (negative x direction) and begins to slow down. Since the bus is slowing down, it means that the bus is undergoing a negative acceleration which is called deceleration.

Thus, the bus is decelerating.

Since it is moving in the negative x-axis, it means acceleration is now; -(-a) which gives +a.

Thus, bus is decelerating and acceleration is positive.

A miniature quadcopter is located at x = -2.25 m and y, - 5.70 matt - 0 and moves with an average velocity having components Vv,
kupik [55]

Recall that average velocity is equal to change in position over a given time interval,

\vec v_{\rm ave} = \dfrac{\Delta \vec r}{\Delta t}

so that the <em>x</em>-component of \vec v_{\rm ave} is

\dfrac{x_2 - (-2.25\,\mathrm m)}{1.60\,\mathrm s} = 2.70\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

and its <em>y</em>-component is

\dfrac{y_2 - 5.70\,\mathrm m}{1.60\,\mathrm s} = -2.50\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

Solve for x_2 and y_2, which are the <em>x</em>- and <em>y</em>-components of the copter's position vector after <em>t</em> = 1.60 s.

x_2 = -2.25\,\mathrm m + \left(2.70\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(1.60\,\mathrm s) \implies \boxed{x_2 = 2.07\,\mathrm m}

y_2 = 5.70\,\mathrm m + \left(-2.50\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(1.60\,\mathrm s) \implies \boxed{y_2 = 1.70\,\mathrm m}

Note that I'm reading the given details as

x_1 = -2.25\,\mathrm m \\\\ y_1 = -5.70\,\mathrm m \\\\ v_x = 2.70\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\\\\ v_y=-2.50\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

so if any of these are incorrect, you should make the appropriate adjustments to the work above.

An emf of 28.0 mV is induced in a 501 turn coil when the current is changing at a rate of 12.0 A/s. What is the magnetic flux th
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Φ = 5.589×10⁻⁵  Wb

Explanation:

The inductance of a coil is given as

L = e/(di/dt) ..................... Equation 1

Where L = inductance of the coil, e = induced e.m.f, di/dt = rate of change of current in the coil.

Also,

The inductance of each turn of the coil when a magnetic field is step up in the coil  is

L = NΦ/i ................. Equation 2

Where N = number of turns, Φ = magnetic field, i = current.

equating equation 1 and equation 2

e/(di/dt) = NΦ/i

making Φ the subject of the equation,

Φ = (e×i)/N.(di/dt) .................. Equation 3

Given: e = 28.0 mV = 0.028 V, N = 501 turns, di/dt = 12.0 A/s, i = 4.00 a

Substitute into equation 3,

Φ = (0.028×4)/(12×501)

Φ = 0.112/2004

Φ = 5.589×10⁻⁵ Weber

Φ = 5.589×10⁻⁵ Wb

32. Which type of electromagnetic wave is used for nuclear power and medical treatment?
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Answers at the bottom!!

Explanation:

For the first answer: Gamma ray

Gamma rays and x-rays consist of high-energy waves that can travel great distances at the speed of light and generally have a great ability to penetrate other materials. For that reason, gamma rays (such as from cobalt-60) are often used in medical applications to treat cancer and sterilize medical instruments.

For the second answer: They both have technological uses.

In my opinion I'm pretty sure it's A because we do use microwaves and x-rays as technological uses.

Hope this helps!!

A fire hose held near the ground shoots water at a speed of 6.5 m/s. At what angle(s) should the nozzle point in order that the
valina [46]
The speed of water can be split into vertical and horizontal speed components:
v_x = 6.5 cos \theta \\ v_y = 6.5 sin \theta

Due to the force of gravity, the y component will be parabolic. The x component will be linear:
y(t) = -4.9t^2 + (6.5sin \theta) t \\  \\ x(t) = (6.5 cos \theta) t
To find when the water hits the ground 2.5m away, set y= 0 and x = 2.5
-4.9t^2 + (6.5sin \theta) t=0 \\  \\ t = \frac{6.5}{4.9} sin \theta \\ \\(6.5 cos \theta)(\frac{6.5}{4.9} sin \theta) = 2.5 \\  \\ sin \theta cos \theta = 0.29 \\  \\ sin 2\theta = 0.58 \\  \\ 2\theta = 35.4, 144.6 \\  \\ \theta = 17.7,72.3
