If you have no idea what the voltage is that you're about to measure,
then you should set the meter to the highest range before you connect
it to the two points in the circuit.
Analog meters indicate the measurement by moving a physical needle
across a physical card with physical numbers printed on it. If the unknown
voltage happens to be 100 times the full range to which the meter is set,
then the needle may find itself trying to move to a position that's 100 times
past the highest number on the meter's face. You'll hear a soft 'twang',
followed by a louder 'CLICK'. Then you'll wonder why the meter has no
needle on it, and then you'll walk over to the other side of the room and
pick up the needle off the floor, and then you'll probably put the needle
in your pocket. That will end your voltage measurements for that day,
and certainly for that meter.
Been there.
Done that.
Steps 1 and 2)
The variables are W = work, P = power, and t = time. In this case, W = 9514 joules and P = 347 watts.
The goal is to solve for the unknown time t.
-----------------------
Step 3)
Since we want to solve for the time, and we have known W and P values, we use the equation t = W/P
-----------------------
Step 4)
t = W/P
t = 9514/347
t = 27.4178674351586
t = 27.4 seconds
-----------------------
Step 5)
The lawn mower ran for about 27.4 seconds. I rounded to three sig figs because this was the lower amount of sig figs when comparing 9514 and 347.
-----------------------
Note: we don't use the mass at all
To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations. On these equations we will define the speed as the distance traveled in a space of time, and that speed will be in charge of indicating the reaction rate of the individual. In turn, using the ratio of speed, position and acceleration, we will clear the position and determine the distance necessary for braking.
The relation to express the velocity in terms of position for constant acceleration is as follows
Here,
u = Initial velocity
v= Final velocity
a = Acceleration
= Initial position
s = Final position
PART 1) Calculate the displacement within the reaction time
In this case we can calculate the shortest stopping distance
PART 2)
PART 1) Calculate the displacement within the reaction time
In this case we can calculate the shortest stopping distance
While a person without alcohol would cost 517ft to slow down, under alcoholic substances that distance would be 616ft
Average speed = (total distance) / (total time)
Total distance = (70km + 104km + 79km) = 253 km
Total time = (2hr + 1.5hr + 2hr) = 5.5 hrs
Average speed = (253 km) / (5.5 hrs)
<em>Average speed = 46 km/hr</em>
