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

What is the velocity of a beam of electrons that goes undeflected when passing through perpendicular electric and magnetic field
goldenfox [79]
F = qE + qV × B
where force F, electric field E, velocity V, and magnetic field B are vectors and the × operator is the vector cross product. If the electron remains undeflected, then F = 0 and E = -V × B
which means that |V| = |E| / |B| and the vectors must have the proper geometrical relationship. I therefore get
|V| = 8.8e3 / 3.7e-3
= 2.4e6 m/sec
Acceleration a = V²/r, where r is the radius of curvature.
a = F/m, where m is the mass of an electron,
so qVB/m = V²/r.
Solving for r yields
r = mV/qB
= 9.11e-31 kg * 2.37e6 m/sec / (1.60e-19 coul * 3.7e-3 T)
= 3.65e-3 m

A centrifuge used in DNA extraction spins at a maximum rate of 7000rpm producing a "g-force" on the sample that is 6000 times th
defon

Answer:

A) a = 73.304 rad/s²

B) Δθ = 3665.2 rad

Explanation:

A) From Newton's first equation of motion, we can say that;

a = (ω - ω_o)/t. We are given that the centrifuge spins at a maximum rate of 7000rpm.

Let's convert to rad/s = 7000 × 2π/60 = 733.04 rad/s

Thus change in angular velocity = (ω - ω_o) = 733.04 - 0 = 733.04 rad/s

We are given; t = 10 s

Thus;

a = 733.04/10

a = 73.304 rad/s²

B) From Newton's third equation of motion, we can say that;

ω² = ω_o² + 2aΔθ

Where Δθ is angular displacement

Making Δθ the subject;

Δθ = (ω² - ω_o²)/2a

At this point, ω = 0 rad/s while ω_o = 733.04 rad/s

Thus;

Δθ = (0² - 733.04²)/(2 × 73.304)

Δθ = -537347.6416/146.608

Δθ = - 3665.2 rad

We will take the absolute value.

Thus, Δθ = 3665.2 rad
