Answer:

Speed, v = 5 m/s

Explanation:

We have,

The length of the football field, l = 100 m  

A person takes 20 seconds to run its length.

It is required to find the speed of the person with which he should run. The distance covered divided by time taken is called its velocity.

v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{100\ m}{20\ s}\\\\v=5\ m/s

So, the speed of the person is 5 m/s.

In-s [12.5K]
The correct option is D.

Because <span>the distance that the honey flows is a dependent variable. Becuase the coefficient of viscosity is dependent on the velocity gradient (v/L). And, </span>Viscosity is very temperature dependent • It decreases with increasing temperature (in case of liquids). But, Viscosity of a gas increases with increasing temperature.

Two identical parallel plate capacitors A and B connected to a battery of V volts w/ the switch S closed. The switch is now open
Basile [38]
The electrostatic energy stored in a capacitor with capacitance C_0, with a voltage difference V applied to it, and without dielectric, is given by
U_0 =  \frac{1}{2} C_0 V^2
Now let's assume we fill the space between the two plates of the capacitor with a dielectric with constant k. The new capacitance of the capacitor is
C_k = k C_0
So, the energy stored now is
U_k =  \frac{1}{2}C_k V^2= \frac{1}{2}kC_0 V^2

Therefore, the ratio between the energies stored in the capacitor before and after the introduction of the dielectric is
\frac{U_k}{U_0}= \frac{ \frac{1}{2}kC_0 V^2 }{ \frac{1}{2} C_0 V^2}=  k

If a rock climber accidentally drops a 77.5-g piton from a height of 215 meters, what would its speed be just before striking th
Viktor [21]

Let us list out what we know from the question.

Initial Velocity V_{i}  = 0 since the piton is 'dropped'.

Vertical Displacement of the piton D = 215 m

Acceleration due to gravity a = 9.8 m/s^{2}

Final Velocity V_{f} = ?

Using the equation, V^{2} _{f} = V^{2} _{i}  + 2aD and plugging in the known values, we get

V^{2} _{f}  = 0^{2}  + 2(9.8)(215)

Simplifying by taking square-root on both sides gives us V_{f} =  64.915 m/s

Thus, the speed of the piton just before striking the ground is 65 m/s.
