Answer:

Yes, the car driver is exceeding the given limit.

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Speed of the car, v = 38.0 m/s.
  • Speed limit of the highway, \rm v_o=75.0\ mi/h.

<h2><u>Converting the speed limit from mi/h to m/s:</u></h2>

We know,

1 mi = 1.60934 km.

1 km = 1000 m.

Therefore, 1 mi = 1.60934 × 1000 m = 1609.34 m.

1 hour = 60 minutes.

1 minute = 60 seconds.

Therefore, 1 hour = 60 × 60 seconds = 3600 seconds.

Using these values,

\rm 1\ \dfrac{mi}{h}=\dfrac{1609.34\ m}{3600\ s}=0.447\ m/s.

Therefore,

\rm v_o = 75.0\ mi/h=75.0\times 0.447=33.52\ m/s.

Clearly,

\rm v_o

which means, the car driver is exceeding the given speed limit.

a. How many excess electrons must be distributed uniformly within the volume of an isolated plastic sphere 25.0 cm in diameter t
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The electric field outside the sphere is given as,

E = k Q /r²

here Q = n x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

where n is the number of electons

if the dimeter of sphere d= 25 cm= 0.25 m

then the radius r = 0.125 m

we get

n= E r²/ k x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

n = 1350N/C x (0.125m)² / (8.99 x 10⁹ N m²/C² x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C)

n = 14664731646

Margaret [11]

Answer:

v=2019.09\ m.s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given:

  • time taken by the sun to complete one revolution, t=601.2\ hr
  • radial distance of the sunspot, r=6.955\times 10^8\ m.s^{-1}

<u>Therefore, angular speed of rotation of sun:</u>

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{601.2\times 3600} \ rad.s^{-1}

<u>Now the tangential velocity of the sunspot can be given by:</u>

v=r.\omega

v=6.955\times 10^8\times \frac{2\pi}{601.2\times 3600}

v=2019.09\ m.s^{-1}

A ball is falling at terminal velocity. Terminal velocity occurs when the ball is in equilibrium and the forces are balanced. Wh
Greeley [361]

Answer:

A free body diagram with 2 forces: the first pointing downward labeled F Subscript g Baseline 20 N and the second pointing upward labeled F Subscript air Baseline 20 N.

Explanation:

This is because at terminal velocity, the ball stops accelerating and the net force on the ball is zero. For the net force to be zero, equal and opposite forces must act on the ball, so that their resultant force is zero. That is F₁ + F₂ = 0 ⇒ F₁ = -F₂

Since F₁ = 20 N, then F₂ = -F₁ = -20 N

So, if F₁ points upwards since it is positive, then F₂ points downwards since it is negative.

So, a free body diagram with 2 forces: the first pointing downward labeled F Subscript g Baseline 20 N and the second pointing upward labeled F Subscript air Baseline 20 N best describes the ball falling at terminal velocity.
