Mary starts from her house, walks 80 meters south, and stops to chat with her aunt on the sidewalk. After chatting for a few min

utes, she walks 125 meters to the west to meet a friend and then walks 45 meters north with her friend to a cafe for lunch. Overall, she takes 10 minutes to do all this. What is Mary’s average speed?
8 meters/second
1.25 meters/second
25 meters/second
4.5 meters/second
0.42 meters/second

Answer:

0.42 meters/second

Explanation:

The total distance traveled by Mary is: 80 m + 125 m + 45 m = 250 m  

We want the speed in meters/second, so we have to convert the 10 minutes elapsed during the trip into seconds. Then we need a conversion factor, 1 minute is equivalent to 60 seconds.

time = 10 minutes * (60 seconds/1 minute) = 600 seconds (notice that minute is cancelled because is multiplying and dividing)

Now, we can compute the average speed is as follows:

Average speed = total distance/time = 250 m/600 s =  0.42 m/s

A simple pendulum consisting of a bob of mass m attached to a string of length L swings with a period T. If the pendulum is take
Juli2301 [7.4K]

To solve this problem we will use the definition of the period in a simple pendulum, which warns that it is dependent on its length and gravity as follows:

T =2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

Here,

L = Length

g = Acceleration due to gravity

We can realize that 2 \pi is a constant so it is proportional to the square root of its length over its gravity,

T \propto \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

Since the body is in constant free fall, that is, a point where gravity tends to be zero:

g \rightarrow 0 \Rightarrow T \rightarrow \infty

The value of the period will tend to infinity. This indicates that the pendulum will no longer oscillate because both the pendulum and the point to which it is attached are in free fall.

What happens to a current when the electric field in the wire increase
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

If the voltage is increased then the electric field is higher, and electron velocity (average) is proportional to this field. Then you have an increase in speed. And current is total charge passing per time unit, so current is proportional to velocity value of charge (and to voltage in resistors and wire).

When does sea breeze occur
Vladimir79 [104]
<span>Sea breeze can happen during hot summer days because of the uneven  heating rates of water and land. The land surface heats up faster than the surface of the water during the day.  At this rate, the air above the land grows warmer than the air atop the ocean. Warmer air is always lighter than cooler air. As a consequence, warm air is pushed upward causing it to rise. With this, warmer air rises over the land. As warm air rises over the land, cooler air over the ocean flows over the land surface to change or replace the rising warm air.</span>
