You are walking down a straight path in a park and notice there is another person walking some distance ahead of you. The distan

ce between the two of you remains the same, so you deduce that you are walking at the same speed of 1.05 m/s . Suddenly, you notice a wallet on the ground. You pick it up and realize it belongs to the person in front of you. To catch up, you start running at a speed of 2.65 m/s . It takes you 15.5 s to catch up and deliver the lost wallet. How far ahead of you was this person when you started running?

Answer:

41.07 m

Explanation:

According to the data:

Velocity = 2.65 m/s

Time = 15.5 s

Now the formula to calculate the distance is

Distance = Velocity x Time

Distance = 2.65 x 15.5

Distance  = 41.07 meter

Kindly note that the person suddenly started to run at the velocity which is mentioned later that is 2.65 m/s.So the velocity given before is just ignored and we don't have to use any of the three equations of motion of kinematics.

Let's take two balls, each of radius 0.1 meters and charge them each to 3 microCoulombs. Then, let's put them on a flat surface
salantis [7]

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the electric potential energy of two charges at a distance R as follows.

                   R = 2r

                      = 2 \times 0.1 m

                      = 0.2 m

where,    R = separation between center's of both Q's. Hence, the potential energy will be calculated as follows.

                U = \frac{k \times Q \times Q}{R}

                    = \frac{8.98 \times 10^{9} \times (3 \times 10^{-6} C)^{2}}{0.1}

                    = 0.081 J

As, both the charges are coming towards each other with the same energy so there will occur equal sharing of electric potential energy between these two charges.

Therefore, when these charges touch each other then they used to posses maximum kinetic energy, that is, \frac{U}{2}.

Hence,   K.E = \frac{U}{2}

                     = \frac{0.081}{2}

                     = 0.0405 J

Now, we will calculate the speed of balls as follows.

                 V = \sqrt{\sqrt{\frac{2 \times K.E}{m}}

                     = \sqrt{\sqrt{\frac{2 \times 0.0405}{4 kg}}

                     = 0.142 m/s

Therefore, we can conclude that final speed of one of the balls is 0.142 m/s.

A 1500-W electric heater is plugged into the outlet of a 120-V circuit that has a 20-A circuit breaker. You plug an electric hai
Korolek [52]

Answer:

b) 900 W

Explanation:

The breaker trips when the current is equal to 20 A. The power (P) is the ddp (V) multiplied by the current. So, for the electric heater, the current is:

P = V*i

1500 = 120*i

i = 12.5 A

So, to become in 20 A, it's needed 7.5 A, which must come from the hairdryer. Its power must be:

P = 120*7.5

P = 900 W

if you have several different substances mixed together, like Italian salad dressing, where do the most dense materials go where
Alecsey [184]
If you've ever mixed water and oil together,you've probably noticed that the oil rises to the top and the water stays at the bottom-- no matter how much you try to shake them. This is because oil is less dense than water, making it float to the top. The molecules in oil are larger than those in water, so they don't pack as tightly together as they do in water. In a mixture of oil and vinegar, the<span> </span>oil <span>floats on the </span>vinegar/<span>water mixture, while the solids sink to the bottom. So, if one material floats over another, the material on top is less dense.
