Answer:

Acceleration is the change in velocity over the change in time = Δv/Δt. To do these problems, you need to find out how much the speed changed and over what period of time it changed.

Snail 1 changes from 4 cm/min to 7 cm/min in 3 minutes. Subtract the starting velocity (4 cm/min) from the ending velocity (7 cm/min) then divide by the time (3 min):

Snail 1 = (7 cm/min. - 4 cm/min)/(3 minutes) = ? (remember to put down the units)

Snail 2 changed from 7 cm/min. down to 1 cm/min. in 3 minutes

Snail 2 = (1 cm/min. - 7 cm/min.)/(3 min.) = ? (note that the acceleration is negative when you slow down)

I hope this helps you

A human being can be electrocuted if a current as small as 55 mA passes near the heart. An electrician working with sweaty hands

evablogger [386]

Answer:

The lethal voltage for the electrician under those conditions is 126.5 V.

Explanation:

To discover what is the lethal voltage to the electrician we need to find out what is the voltage that produces 55 mA = 0.055 A when across a resistance of 2300 Ohms (Electrician's body resistancy). For that we'll use Ohm's Law wich is expressed by the following equation:

V = i*R

Where V is the voltage we want to find out, i is the current wich is lethal to the electrician and R is his body resistance. By applying the given values we have:

V = 0.055*2300 = 126.5 V.

The lethal voltage for the electrician under those conditions is 126.5 V.

How much power is required to light a lightbulb at 100V of voltage when the lightbulb has a resistance of 500 Ohms?

salantis [7]

Answer:

Power = 20 Watts

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Voltage = 100 V

Resistance = 500 Ohms

To find the power that is required to light a lightbulb;

Mathematically, power can be calculated using the formula;

$Power = \frac {Voltage^{2}}{resistance}$

Substituting into the formula, we have;

$Power = \frac {100^{2}}{500}$

$Power = \frac {10000}{500}$

Power = 20 Watts

A roller coaster car may be approximated by a block of mass m. Thecar, which starts from rest, is released at a height h above t

elena55 [62]

Answer:

The first part can be solved via conservation of energy.

$mgh = mg2R + K\\K = mg(h-2R)$

For the second part,

the free body diagram of the car should be as follows:

- weight in the downwards direction

- normal force of the track to the car in the downwards direction

The total force should be equal to the centripetal force by Newton's Second Law.

$F = ma = \frac{mv^2}{R}\\mg + N = \frac{mv^2}{R}$

where $N = 0$ because we are looking for the case where the car loses contact.

$mg = \frac{mv^2}{R}\\v^2 = gR\\v = \sqrt{gR}$

Now we know the minimum velocity that the car should have. Using the energy conservation found in the first part, we can calculate the minimum height.

$mgh = mg2R + \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\mgh = mg2R + \frac{1}{2}m(gR)\\gh = g2R + \frac{1}{2}gR\\h = 2R + \frac{R}{2}\\h = \frac{5R}{2}$

Explanation:

The point that might confuse you in this question is the direction of the normal force at the top of the loop.

We usually use the normal force opposite to the weight. However, normal force is the force that the road exerts on us. Imagine that the car goes through the loop very very fast. Its tires will feel a great amount of normal force, if its velocity is quite high. By the same logic, if its velocity is too low, it might not feel a normal force at all, which means losing contact with the track.

Why are bathroom tiles usually rough

Aleks04 [339]

-- Bathroom tiles are usually cool, so water condenses on them
when you take a hot bath or shower in the room.

-- The natural result is that a smooth tile would become slippery,
exactly when you're walking around with wet feet and nothing on them ...
a dangerous situation.

-- In order to circumvent this safety hazard, the tiles in the bathroom
should be rough, especially on the floor.
