As per the question the total distance is given as 4 km.

We are asked to calculate the average speed.

The time taken by the body to travel each kilometre are 5.9 min,6.2 min.,6.3min. and 6 min. respectively.

The average speed of a body is defined as the ratio of total distance travelled by the body to the total time.

Mathematically the average speed is written as _

V= Total distance/Total time

i.e V = S/T

Where S is the total distance travelled and T is the total time

Here total distance (S)= 4 km

The total time T= (5.9+6.2 +6.3+ 6.0 )minutes

=24.4 min.

Hence average speed V = 4 km/24.4 min

= 0.16 km/min.

Hence the correct option is A .

KIM [24]

Answer:

A) 1.5 v

B) Top plate is at higher voltage than the bottom plate

Explanation:

Battery value set between 0.0 V and 1.5 V

a) The potential difference between the plates

Δ V = V1( potential at top plate) - V2( potential at lower plate )

potential at top plate = 1.5 V

potential at lower plate = 0.0 V

hence potential difference = 1.5 V

b ) The top plate is always connected to the positive terminal of the DC source ( which is at a higher potential )while the bottom plate is connected to the negative terminal of the DC source ( which is at a lower potential )

hence the Top plate is at higher voltage than the bottom plate

An elevator together with its passengers weights 5000 N. At a certain instant, the tension in its supporting cable is 6000 N. De
gayaneshka [121]
We have to forces acting on the system (elevator+passengers):
1) The weight (W=5000 N), acting downward
2) The cable's tension (T=6000 N), acting upward
So, the two forces have opposite direction. The resultant (in upward direction) will be
F=T-W
And for Newton's second law, the resultant of the forces acting on the system causes an acceleration on the system itself, given by
a= \frac{F}{m}
where m is the mass of the system.

So, we need to find F and m.
The resultant of the forces is
F=T-W=6000 N-5000 N=1000 N
To find m, we can use the weight of the system. In fact, the weight of an object is given by
W=mg
where g=9.81 m/s^2. Solving for m, and using W=5000 N, we find
m= \frac{W}{g}= \frac{5000 N}{9.81 m/s^2}=510 kg

and at this point, we can calculate the acceleration of the system (elevator+people):
a= \frac{F}{m}= \frac{1000 N}{510 kg}=1.96 m/s^2
and the acceleration has the same direction of the resultant force, so upward.
