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

A 6.99-g bullet is moving horizontally with a velocity of +341 m/s, where the sign + indicates that it is moving to the right (s
Ratling [72]

Answer:

a). 1.218 m/s

b). R=2.8^{-3}

Explanation:

m_{bullet}=6.99g*\frac{1kg}{1000g}=6.99x10^{-3}kg

v_{bullet}=341\frac{m}{s}

Momentum of the motion the first part of the motion have a momentum that is:

P_{1}=m_{bullet}*v_{bullet}

P_{1}=6.99x10^{-3}kg*341\frac{m}{s} \\P_{1}=2.3529

The final momentum is the motion before the action so:

a).

P_{2}=m_{b1}*v_{fbullet}+(m_{b2}+m_{bullet})*v_{f}}

P_{2}=1.202 kg*0.554\frac{m}{s}+(1.523kg+6.99x10^{-3}kg)*v_{f}

P_{1}=P_{2}

2.529=0.665+(1.5299)*v_{f}\\v_{f}=\frac{1.864}{1.5299}\\v_{f}=1.218 \frac{m}{s}

b).

kinetic energy

K=\frac{1}{2}*m*(v)^{2}

Kinetic energy after

Ka=\frac{1}{2}*1.202*(0.554)^{2}+\frac{1}{2}*1.523*(1.218)^{2}\\Ka=1.142 J

Kinetic energy before

Kb=\frac{1}{2}*mb*(vf)^{2}\\Kb=\frac{1}{2}*6.99x10^{-3}kg*(341)^{2}\\Kb=406.4J

Ratio =\frac{Ka}{Kb}

R=\frac{1.14}{406.4}\\R=2.8x10^{-3}

I REALLY NEED HELP
ikadub [295]
The first law of thermodynamics states the conservation of energy and heat where the total energy in an isolated system may be transformed into another, but never created or destroyed. If 286 J of energy was released to the room, then also 286 J of energy was also removed from food in that refrigerator assuming it is an isolated system.   :)

PLZ HELP I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

12.7m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of diver  = 77kg

Height of jump  = 8.18m

Unknown:

Final velocity  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we apply the motion equation below:

             v²   = u²  + 2gH

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity

H is the height

 Now insert the parameters and solve;

       v² = 0²  +  2 x 9.8 x 8.18

     v  = 12.7m/s

Describe how electromagnetic waves are formed and travel through space.
Maslowich

Answer:

Electromagnetic waves are created by a charged particle that generates an electric field. The electric field creates a magnetic field. As the charged particle moves, the electric field and magnetic field keep changing, which causes the wave to move.
