On a straight road with the +x axis chosen to point in the direction of motion, you drive for 5 hours at a constant 20 miles per

hour, then in a few seconds, you speed up to 60 miles per hour and drive at this speed for 1 hour.
What was the x component of average velocity for the 6-hour period, using the fundamental definition of average velocity, which is the displacement divided by the time interval?

Answer:

v = 26.7 mph

Explanation:

During the first 5 hours, at a constant speed of 20 mph, we find the total displacement to be as follows:

Δx₁ = v₁*t₁ = 20 mph*5 h = 100 mi

Assuming we can neglect the displacement during the speeding up from 20 to 60 mph, we can find the the total displacement at 60 mph as follows:

Δx₂ = v₂*t₂ = 60 mph*1 h = 60 mi

So, the total displacement during all the trip wil be:

Δx = Δx₁ + Δx₂ = 100 mi + 60 mi = 160 mi

So we can find the the average velocity during the 6-hour period, applying the definition of average velocity, as follows:

v = Δx / Δt = 160 mi / 6 h = 26.7 mph

Recall this kinematic equation:

a = \frac{Vi+Vf}{Δt}

This equation gives the acceleration of the object assuming it IS constant (the velocity changes at a uniform rate).

a is the acceleration.

Vi is the initial velocity.

Vf is the final velocity.

Δt is the amount of elapsed time.


Given values:

Vi = 0 m/s (the car starts at rest).

Vf = 25 m/s.

Δt = 10 s


Substitute the terms in the equation with the given values and solve for a:

a = \frac{0+25}{10}

<h3>a = 2.5 m/s²</h3>

An electron is a negatively charged particle that has a charge of magnitude, e - 1.60 x 10-19 C. Which one of the following stat
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

The electric field is directed toward the electron and has a magnitude of E=\frac{ke}{r^{2} }.

Explanation:

An electric field is define as the surrounding of charges which exert a force on each other and this force can be attractive or repulsive depends on the charge.

In the given case electron is given and the magnitude of charge on electron is e=1.6\times 10^{-19}C

Electric field can be represented as,

E=\frac{kQ}{r^{2} }

Here, r is the distance between the point ande charge, k is the electric field constant and Q is the charge.

In the given question an electron is given so electric field will be,

E=\frac{ke}{r^{2} }

As we know that electric field start from the positive charge and vanish in the negative charge.

So, here the electric field will be E=\frac{ke}{r^{2} } and it is directed toward the electron because of negative charge on the electron.

Imagine you are on the top of a mountain with four basketballs. The mass of the four basketballs are 100 kilograms, 200 kilogram
pentagon [3]

Answer:

400 kilogram

Explanation:

Force exerted is directly proportional to the mass of an object.

F=ma where m is mass and a is acceleration. Taking uniform acceleration on all objects then the larger the mass the higher the force and vice versa. Theredore, among the masses given, 400 kilograms is the largest hence it exerts the largest force at the bottom
