Answer:

3.5 amperes

Explanation:

I = E/R

I = ?

E = 70volts

R = 20 Ohms

Therefore , I = 70/20

= 3.5 amperes

A certain bridge is 4,224 feet long. What constant rate, in miles per hour, must be maintained in order to walk across the bridg

Archy [21]

Answer:

4miles/hour

Explanation:

the solution for this question requires that the quantities are converted to the appropriate units as required by the question.

Rate in miles per hour = distance in miles / time in hour

to convert 12 minutes to hours; recall that 60 minutes make 1 hour

12 minutes to hour = 12/60 = 0.2hr

to convert 4224 feet to miles; recall 5280 feet is equivalent to 1 mile

4224 feet to miles = 4224/5280 = 0.8 miles

∴ rate = 0.8 / 0.2

rate = 4 miles per hour

the constant rate in miles per hour = 4 miles/hour

Suppose that a particular artillery piece has a range R = 9880 yards . Find its range in miles. Use the facts that 1mile=5280ft

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

R = 9880 yd * 3 ft/yd / 5280 ft/mi = 5.61 mi

If you do it in steps

R = 9880 yd * 3 ft/yd = 29640 ft

R = 29640 ft / 5280 ft/mi = 5.61 mi

What speed would a proton need to achieve in order to circle Earth 1790 km above the magnetic equator, where the Earth's mag- ne

irinina [24]

Answer:

The velocity is 31.25 m/s and direction is toward west.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance $h= 1790 km = 1.790\times10^{6}\ m$

Magnetic field $B=4\times10^{-8}\ T$

Mass of proton $m=1.673\times10^{-21}\ Kg$

Radius of earth $R =6.38\times10^{6}\ m$

Radius of orbit $r=R+h$

$r=6.38\times10^{6}+1.790\times10^{6}$

$r=8170000\ m$

We need to calculate the speed

Using formula of magnetic field

$Bvq=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$v=\dfrac{Bqr}{m}$

Put the value into the formula

$v=\dfrac{4\times10^{-8}\times1.6\times10^{-19}\times8170000}{1.673\times10^{-21}}$

$v=31.25\ m/s$

Hence, The velocity is 31.25 m/s and direction is toward west.

A hiker climbs a mountain. Starting at the base of the mountain, he first moved up 520m at a 32.0 degree angle. What is the fina

Answer:

$\displaystyle \vec{d}=$

Explanation:

<u>Displacement Vector</u>

Suppose an object is located at a position

$\displaystyle P_1(x_1,y_1)$

and then moves at another position at

$\displaystyle P_2(x_2,y_2)$

The displacement vector is directed from the first to the second position and can be found as

$\displaystyle \vec{d}=$

If the position is given as magnitude-angle data ( z , α), we can compute its rectangular components as

$\displaystyle x=z\ cos\alpha$

$\displaystyle y=z\ sin\alpha$

The question describes the situation where the initial point is the base of the mountain, where both components are zero

$\displaystyle P_1(0,0)$

The final point is given as a 520 m distance and a 32-degree angle, so

$\displaystyle x_2=520\ cos32^o= 440.99\ m$

$\displaystyle y_2=520\ sin32^o=275.6\ m$

The displacement is

$\displaystyle \vec{d}=$
