You are driving at 50 miles per hour. If you decrease the time it takes you to travel 1 mile by 8 seconds, what is your new spee

Answer:

The new speed is 56.25 miles/hour.

Explanation:

Since speed = distance/time;

time = distance/speed.

While driving at 50 miles/hour, time taken for one to complete 1 mile is (1/50) hour

(1/50) hour = (1/50) × 3600s = 72 seconds.

So, if this time to complete 1 mile (72 seconds) is reduced by 8 seconds,

New time to complete 1 mile will be = 72 - 8 = 64 seconds = (64/3600) hour = 0.0178 hour

New speed would be = (1 mile/64 seconds) = (1 mile/0.0178 hour) = 56.25 miles/hour.

Hope this Helps!!!

The​ half-life of a certain radioactive substance is 12 hours. There are 19 grams present initially. a. Express the amount of su
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

(a) N=19\times e^{-\lambda t}

(b) 15 hours

Explanation:

half life, T = 12 hours

No = 19 g

(a) Let N be the amount remaining after time t.

Let λ be the decay constant.

\lambda =\frac {0.6931}{T}

The equation of radioactivity used here is given by

N=N_{o}e^{-\lambda t}

N=19\times e^{-\lambda t}

(b) N = 8 gram

Substitute the values in above equation

\lambda =\frac {0.6931}{12}

λ = 0.0577 per hour

So, 8=19\times e^{-0.577t}

e^{-0.0577t}=0.421

Take natural log on both the sides

- 0.0577 t = - 0.865

t = 15 hours

<u>Geometry</u>

<u>Calculus</u>

Derivatives

Differentiating with respect to time

Basic Power Rule:

  • f(x) = cxⁿ
  • f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

Area is A = lw

2w = l

w = 300 m

\frac{dw}{dt} = 24 \ m/year

<u>Step 2: Rewrite Equation</u>

  1. Substitute in <em>l</em>:                    A = (2w)w
  2. Multiply:                              A = 2w²

<u>Step 3: Differentiate</u>

<em>Differentiate the new area formula with respect to time.</em>

  1. Differentiate [Basic Power Rule]:                                                                   \frac{dA}{dt} = 2 \cdot 2w^{2-1}\frac{dw}{dt}
  2. Simplify:                                                                                                           \frac{dA}{dt} = 4w\frac{dw}{dt}

<u>Step 4: Find Rate</u>

<em>Use defined variables</em>

  1. Substitute:                    \frac{dA}{dt} = 4(300 \ m)(24 \ m/year)
  2. Multiply:                        \frac{dA}{dt} = (1200 \ m)(24 \ m/year)
  3. Multiply:                        \frac{dA}{dt} = 28800 \ m^2/year

Release an electron initially at rest in the presence of an electric field. The electron tends to go to the region of 1. same el
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The electron tends to go to the region of 4. higher electric potential.

Explanation:

When a charged particle is immersed in an electric field, it experiences a force given by

F=qE

where

q is the charge of the particle

E is the electric field

The direction of the force depends on the sign of the charge. In particular:

- The force and the electric field have the same direction if the charge is positive

- The force and the electric field have opposite directions if the charge is negative

Therefore, an electron (negative charge) moves in the direction opposite to the electric field lines.

However, electric field lines go from points at higher potential to points at lower potential: so, electrons move from regions at lower potential to regions of higher potential.

Therefore, the correct answer is

The electron tends to go to the region of 4. higher electric potential.

A point charge is placed at the center of a spherical Gaussian surface. The electricflux ΦEischangedif(a) a second point charge
Simora [160]

Answer:

(b) the point charge is moved outside the sphere

Explanation:

Gauss' Law states that the electric flux of a closed surface is equal to the enclosed charge divided by permittivity of the medium.

\int\vec{E}d\vec{a} = \frac{Q_{enc}}{\epsilon_0}

According to this law, any charge outside the surface has no effect at all. Therefore (a) is not correct.

If the point charge is moved off the center, the points on the surface close to the charge will have higher flux and the points further away from the charge will have lesser flux. But as a result, the total flux will not change, because the enclosed charge is the same.

Therefore, (c) and (d) is not correct, because the enclosed charge is unchanged.

In what way does the sun's rays of light hit the earth?<br><br> PLease anSWER
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

The Sun's energy gets to the Earth through radiation, which you can prove just by standing outside and letting the sun's rays warm your face on a sunny day. Every object around you is continually radiating unless its temperature is at absolute zero, at which point its molecules completely stop moving.

Hope that helps :)
