A bicyclist makes a trip that consists of three parts, each in the same direction (due north) along a straight road. during the

first part, she rides for 22 minutes at an average speed of 7.2 m/s. during the second part, she rides for 36 minutes at an average speed of 5.1 m/s. finally, during the third part, she rides for 8.0 minutes at an average speed of 13 m/s.
a. how far has the bicyclist traveled during the entire trip?
b. what is her average velocity for the entire trip?

part a)

path of the cyclist consist of three parts

during the first part, she rides for 22 minutes at an average speed of 7.2 m/s. during the second part, she rides for 36 minutes at an average speed of 5.1 m/s. finally, during the third part, she rides for 8.0 minutes at an average speed of 13 m/s.

total distance in first part

d_1 = 22*60 * 7.2 = 9504 m

total distance in second part

d_2 = 36*60 * 5.1 = 11016 m

total distance in third part

d_3 = 8 * 60 * 13 = 6240 m

so total distance would be

d = 9504 + 11016 + 6240 = 26760 m

part b)

average velocity is given as

v = \frac{displacement}{time}

v = \frac{26760}{(22 + 36 + 8)*60}

v = 6.76 m/s

so average velocity is 6.76 m/s

find the mass of a ball on a roof 30 meters high, if the ball's gravitational potential energy is 58.8 joules
Sidana [21]
We are given the gravitational potential energy and the height of the ball and is asked in the problem to determine the mass of the ball. the formula to be followed is PE = mgh where g is the gravitational acceleration equal to 9.81 m/s^2. substituting, 58.8 J = m*9.8 m/s^2 * 30 m; m = 0.2 kg.

Describe how substance move from one state to another
Mekhanik [1.2K]
The temperature rises until the water reaches the next change of state — boiling. As the particles move faster and faster, they begin to break the attractive forces between each otherand move freely as steam — a gas. The process by which a substance moves from the liquid state to the gaseousstate is called boiling.

A parallel-plate capacitor is formed from two 1.6 cm -diameter electrodes spaced 2.8 mm apart. The electric field strength insid
lidiya [134]

Answer:

12 nC

Explanation:

Capacity of the parallel plate capacitor

C = ε₀ A/d

ε₀ is constant having value of 8.85 x 10⁻¹² , A area of plate , d is distance between plate

Area of plate = π r²

= 3.14 x (0.8x 10⁻²)²

= 2 x 10⁻⁴

C = ( 8.85 X 10⁻¹² x 2 x 10⁻⁴ ) / 2.8 x 10⁻³

= 7.08 x 10⁻¹³

Potential difference between plate = field strength x distance between plate

= 6 x 10⁶ x 2.8 x 10⁻³

= 16.8 x 10³ V

Charge on plate = CV

=7.08 x 10⁻¹³ X 16.8 X 10³

11.9 X 10⁻⁹ C

12 nC .
