An absent-minded Penn State professor drives from State College to Tyrone, 20 miles away, at 60 mph (miles per hour), before rea

lizing that he forgot his wallet. He immediately returns to State College at 60 mph, picks up his wallet and drives back to Tyrone at 60 mph. Assuming all the travel was done more or less on a straight line and neglecting the time taken to turn around or collect the professor's wallet, what is the magnitude of the professor's average velocity for the entire trip?

Answer:20 mph

Explanation:

Given

distance between college to Tyrone=20 miles

Given professor drives with a velocity of 60 mph

he returns to college after reaching tyrone and then again drive to tyrone.

so his net displacement is 20 miles

time taken to cover 20 miles is \frac{1}{3} hr

average velocity=\frac{Displacement}{Time\ taken}

V_{avg}=\frac{20}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}}

V_{avg}=\frac{20}{1}=20 mph

If a speeding train hits the brakes and it takes the train 39 seconds to go from 54.8 m/s to 12 m/s what is the acceleration?
jekas [21]

Answer:

-1.09m/sec^2

Explanation:

Acceleration= (Vf-Vi)/Time

=12-54.8

= -42.8

= -42.8/39

=-1.09

-ve sign is due to recoil of train

as it suddenly hits brakes.

<u>Answer</u>

46,200 J

The energy of given out when a substance is losing heat is given by:

H = mcΔθ

Where m is the mass of the substance,

            c is the specific heat capacity of the substance and

           Δθ is the temperature change.

H = 0.50 × 22 4200

  = 46,200 Joules.

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Conditions that result in the emission of electrons from a conductor:

Heating the conductor to a suitable temperature

Exposing the conductor to a strong light

Subjecting the conductor to a very high applied voltage

Subjecting the conductor to high-speed electrons from another source

Both diodes and triodes influence current flow and contain electrodes. Diodes involve only two active pieces; triodes contain three electrodes within a tube. Current can flow through a diode in only one direction. Diodes tend to act as rectifiers. In a triode, the third electrode is a grid located between the cathode and the anode. A small difference of potential between the grid and the cathode controls the number of electrons that reach the anode. Adjusting the charge on the grid affects the number of electrons that can reach the anode. Triodes tend to act as amplifiers.
