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.

A point charge q1 = 3.0 µC is at the origin and a point charge q2 = 6.0 µC is on the x axis at x = 10 m.
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

a) 1.6 mN  b) -1.6 mN  c) -1.6 mN  d) 1.6 mN

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between 2 point charges, obeys the Coulomb's Law, that can be expressed as follows:

F₁₂ = k*q₁*q₂/(r₁₂)² (in magnitude)

The direction of the force, is along the  line that joins the  charges (along the x axis) and as q₁ and q₂ are of the same sign, aims away from both charges.

a) So, for the force on q₂, we have:

F₁₂ = 9*18*10⁻⁵ N = 1.6 mN (positive as it is aiming in the positive x direction)

b) The force on q1, according to Newton's 3rd Law, is just equal and opposite to the one on q2:

F₂₁ = (-9*18*10⁻⁵) N = -1.6 mN (towards the negative x direction, away from q1)

c) If q₂ were -6.0 μC, the force will be the same in magnitude, but as now both charges have different signs, they wil attract each other, so the direction of the forces will be exactly the opposite to the first case:

F₁₂ = -1.6 mN (going towards the origin, where q₁ is located)

F₂₁ =  1.6 mN (going in the positive x direction, towards q₂)
