Answer:

a) The total time of the trip is 4.05 h.

b) The average speed of the car is 12.35 mi/h.

c) The total time of the trip is 1.69 h.

Explanation:

Hi there!

a) The equation of traveled distance for a car traveling at constant speed is the following:

x= v · t

Where:

x = traveled distance.

v = velocity.

t = time.

Solving the equation for t, we can find the time it takes to travel a given distance "x" at a velocity "v":

x/v = t

So, the time it takes the car to travel the first half of the distance will be:

t1 = 25.0 mi / 7.00 mi/h

And for the second half of the distance:

t2= 25.0 mi / 52.00 mi / h

The total time will be:

total time = t1 + t2 = 25.0 mi / 7.00 mi/h + 25.0 mi / 52.00 mi / h

total time = 4.05 h

The total time of the trip is 4.05 h.

b) The average speed (a.s) is calculated as the traveled distance (d) divided by the time it takes to travel that distance (t). In this case, the traveled distance is 50 mi and the time is 4.05 h. Then:

a.s = d/t

a.s = 50 mi / 4.05 h

a.s = 12.35 mi/h

The average speed of the car is 12.35 mi/h

c) Let's write the equations of traveled distance for both halves of the trip:

For the first half, you traveled a distance d1 in a time t1 at 7.00 mph:

7.00 mi/h = d1/t1

Solving for d1:

7.00 mi/h · t1 = d1

For the second half, you traveled a distance d2 in a time t2 at 52.00 mph.

52.00 mi/h = d2/t2

52.00 mi/h · t2 = d2

We know that d1 + d2 = 50 mi and that t1 and t2 are equal to t/2 where t is the total time:

d1 + d2 = 50 mi

52.00 mi/h · t/2 + 7.00 mi/h · t/2 = 50 mi

Solving for t:

29.5 mi/h · t = 50 mi

t = 50 mi / 29.5 mi/h

t = 1.69 h

The total time of the trip is 1.69 h.

Which device uses a rotating magnetic field to produce an electric current?
Kay [80]
<span>The correct answer is C) a motor.
In particular, we are talking about an AC motor, which produces an alternating current. In an AC motor, a coil is immersed in a rotating magnetic field. Due to the motion of the magnetic field,the angle between the direction of the field and the surface enclosed by the coil changes. As a result, the magnetic flux through the coil changes over time (the magnetic flux is given by:
</span>\phi=BAcos\theta<span>
where B is the intensity of the magnetic field, A is the area enclosed by the coil and </span>\theta<span> is the angle between the direction of B and the perpendicular to the plane of the coil). For Faraday-Newmann-Lenz law, this change in flux induces an electromotive force (emf) into the coil, according to:
</span>emf=- \frac{d \Phi}{dt}<span>
 where the numerator is the variation of magnetic flux and dt is the time interval. This emf in the coil produced an electrical current in the circuit.</span>

Which of the following is an example of velocity?
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

b is 55 miles per hour south  or 55mph[South]

the important part to understand is that velocity is a vector meaning it also has to have a direction, in this case south. That is why a (2m/s) is not a velocity, however 2m/s is a speed.

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

A) 17.7 m/s

B) 15.98 m

C) Zero

E) 9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

given information

distance, h = - 34 m

time, t = 5 s

A) What is the initial speed of the egg?

h - h₀ = v₀t - \frac{1}{2} gt², h₀ = 0

- 34 = v₀ 5 - \frac{1}{2} 9.8 5²

- 34 = 5 v₀ - 122.5

v₀ = 122.5 - 34/5

    = 17.7 m/s

B) How high does it rise above its starting point?

v² = v₀² - 2gh

v = 0 (highest point)

2gh = v₀²

h = v₀²/2g

  = 17.7²/2 (9.8)

  = 15.98 m

C) What is the magnitude of its velocity at the highest point?

v = 0 (at highest point)

E) What are the magnitude and direction of its acceleration at the highest point?

g= 9.8 m/s², since the egg is moved vertically, the acceleration is the same as the gravitational acceleration.

netineya [11]
<span>You are given two cars, one in front of the other, that are traveling down the highway at 25 m/s. You are also given a frequency of 500 Hz of the car travelling behind it. You are asked what is the frequency heard by the driver of the lead car. This problem can be solved using the Doppler effect

sound frequency heard by the lead car = [(speed of sound + lead car velocity)/( speed of sound + behind car velocity)] * (sound of frequency of the behind car)
</span>sound frequency heard by the lead car = [(340 m/s + 25 m/s)/(340 m/s - 25 m/s)] * (500 Hz)
sound frequency heard by the lead car = 579 Hz
