Answer:

19.2 m/s

Explanation:

The train is moving at 18 m/s and you are walking in the same direction (east) so the speeds are added

18 + 1.2 = 19.2

If you were walking backwards (west) your velocity with respect to the ground would be

18 - 1.2 = 16.8

Answer:

<h2>154.73N</h2>

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Using the strap at an angle of 31° above the horizontal, a Grade 12 Physics student, tired from studying, is dragging his 15 kg school bag across the floor at a constant velocity. (a) If the force of tension in the strap is 51 N, what is the normal force.

Check the diagram related to the question in the attachment below for better understanding.

The normal force is the reaction acting perpendicular to the force of tension in the strap and opposite the weight of the bag. They are the forces acting along the vertical.

The normal force N will be the sum of the force of tension acting along the vertical (Ty) and the weight of the bag (W).

Ty = 15sin31°

Ty = 7.73N

W = mass * acceleration due to gravity

W = 15.0*9.8

W = 147N

The normal force is therefore expressed as;

N = Ty + W

N = 7.73 + 147

N = 154.73N

Some superconductors are capable of carrying a very large quantity of current. If the measured current is 1.00 ´ 105 A, how many
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The 6.25 \times 10^{23} electrons are moving through the superconductor per second.

Explanation:

Given :

Current I = 1 \times 10^{5} A

Charge of electron e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

Time t = 1 sec

From the formula of current,

Current is the number of charges flowing per unit time.

   I = \frac{ne}{t}

Where n = number of charges means in our case number of electrons

   n = \frac{It}{e}

   n = \frac{1 \times 10^{5} }{1.6 \times 10^{-19} }

   n = 6.25 \times 10^{23}

Therefore, 6.25 \times 10^{23} electrons are moving through the superconductor per second.

2. Four resistors of 2 ohm each are connected first in series and then in parallel with a battery.Find the ratio of electric cur
Serjik [45]

Answer:

Ratio of series current to parallel

= 1 : 8

Explanation:

Total resistance Rt

For series, Rt = 2+2+2+2 = 4ohms

For parallel, 1/Rt = 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2

1/Rt = 4/2, Rt = 2/4 ohms.

If we use a 1V battery, then,

I = V/Rt

I = 1/4 = 0.25 ampere for series arrangement.

I = 1/0.5 = 2 ohms.

Ratio of current of series to parallel = 0.25 : 2

= 1 : 8

pentagon [3]

Answer:

d)

Explanation:

Electrons are lost or gained when the ballon is rubbed with a PVC. As the rubber ballon lost electrons, it will have more protons, hence the positive charge. (More protons than electrons in the ballon).
