0.017s

Explanation:

Given parameter

Distance = 5000km = 5 x 10⁶m

Unknown:

time taken = ?

Solution:

We use the normal speed equation to solve this problem as we take the speed of the wave to be 3 x 10⁸m/s.

   Speed = \frac{Distance }{Time taken}

   Inputting the parameters:

             Time taken = \frac{distance }{velocity of the wave}

  Time taken = \frac{ 5 000000}{3 00000000} = 0.017s

El valor más preciso de la masa de un electron es 9.11*10^-11kg ¿ Cuánto aumentaría la masa de un cuerpo que se carga con -1 c d
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

m = 569.375\times 10^{6}\,kg

Explanation:

Un electrón tiene una carga negativa de 1.6\times 10^{-19}\,C y la masa total es igual al producto del número de electrones y esa carga unitaria. El número de electrones se obtiene al dividir la carga total por la carga unitaria. (An electron has a negative charge of 1.6\times 10^{-19}\,C and the total mass is equal to the product of the qunatity of electrons and such unit charge. The quantity of electrons is found by diving the total charge by the unit charge):

m = \frac{Q}{q} \cdot m_{e}

m = \left(\frac{1\,C}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\,C} \right)\cdot (9.11\times 10^{-11}\,kg)

m = 569.375\times 10^{6}\,kg

A motorcycle is traveling up one side of a hill and down the other side. The crest of the hill is a circular arc with a radius o
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

21.8 m/s

Explanation:

At the top of the hill (crest), there are two forces acting on the motorcycle:

- The reaction force of the road, N (upward)

- The force of gravity, mg (downward)

Since the motorcycle is moving by circular motion, the resultant of these forces will give the centripetal force, so:

mg-N = m\frac{v^2}{r}

where the direction of the weight (mg) is equal to that of the centripetal force, and where

m is the mass of the cycle

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

v is the speed

r = 48.6 is the radius of the hill

The cycle loses contact with the road when the reaction force becomes zero:

N = 0

Substituting into the equation, we therefore find the maximum speed that is allowed for the cycle before losing constact:

mg = m\frac{v^2}{r}\\v=\sqrt{gr}=\sqrt{(9.8)(48.6)}=21.8 m/s

A particle is moving with velocity v(t) = t2 _ 9t + 18 with distance, s measured in meters, left or right of zero, and t measure
Alex787 [66]
V = t^2 - 9t + 18

position, s
s = t^3 /3 - 4.5t^2 +18t + C

       t = 0, s = 1 => 1=C => s = t^3/3 -4.5t^2 + 18t + 1

Average velocity: distance / time

   distance: t = 8 => s = 8^3 / 3 - 4.5 (8)^2 + 18(8) + 1 = 27.67 m
   Average velocity = 27.67 / 8 = 3.46 m/s

t = 5 s

     v = t^2 - 9t + 18 = 5^2 - 9(5) + 18 = -2 m/s
     speed = |-2| m/s = 2 m/s
 
Moving right
     V > 0 => t^2 - 9t + 18 > 0
     (t - 6)(t - 3) > 0

     => t > 6 and t > 3 => t > 6 s => Interval (6,8)

    => t < 6 and t <3 => t <3 s => interval (0,3)

    

Going faster and slowing dowm

acceleration, a = v' = 2t - 9
     a > 0 => 2t - 9 > 0 => 2t > 9 => t > 4.5 s
     Then, going faster in the interval (4.5 , 8) and slowing down in (0, 4.5)
