Answer:

a) d=187.6km

b)v=61.5km/h

Explanation:

First we convert our minutes to hours so we work always in the same units.

36min=36min(\frac{1h}{60min})=0.6h

15min=15min(\frac{1h}{60min})=0.25h

Where we used the fact that 1 hour are 60 min, thus the multiplying factor is equal to 1 (not altering the time, just changing the units).

a) On the first part the motorist travels a distance d_1=v_1t_1=(96km/h)(0.6h)=57.6km, and on the second part he travels d_2=130km.

The total displacement is d=d_1+d_2=57.6km+130km=187.6km

b) The average velocity is the relation between the total displacement and the time taken to cover it. Our total time is t=0.6h+0.25h+2.2h=3.05h, thus we have:

v=\frac{187.6km}{3.05h}=61.5km/h

3. The electric field of a sinusoidal electromagnetic wave has an amplitude of 5.0 V/m. How much radiation energy passes through
True [87]

Answer:

e) 179 J

Explanation:

E_{o} = Magnitude of electric field = 5 V/m

A = Area of window = 1.5 m²

c = speed of electromagnetic wave = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

\Delta t = time interval = 1 h = 3600 sec

radiation energy is given as

U = (0.5)\epsilon _{o}E_{o}^{2}cA\Delta t

U = (0.5)(8.85\times 10^{-12})(5)^{2}(3\times 10^{8})(1.5)(3600)

U = 179 J

<h2>Answer: B)Scientists’ understanding of cells continually improved as the results of studies built upon each other over time and formed the cell theory.</h2>

Explanation:

Nowadays we know <u>cells are essential microscopic units that make up the living beings, capable of reproducing independently. </u>

However, this is the result of a long process of discoveries and studies made since the 19th century, in which the continuous improvement of new technologies was helpful.

In fact, it is wel known the English scientist Robert Hooke was the first to discover the existence of cells by looking through a compound microscope at a cork sheet, realizing that it was made up of small polygonal holes (like those of a honeycomb) that reminded him of the chambers in which the monks stayed (called cells). Then, during the next centuries more studies were made until we had the current knowledge about the structure of a cell.

Communicating results allows scientists to learn from each other's results.
sveta [45]

True, scientists often talk to each other to figure out if their results were similar and what they could have done better.

Although, talking to other scientists does have risks, other scientists could copy your work and further better it.

So, your final answer is TRUE, sorry for the long answer, I needed to have a word count about 20 characters and then I got carried away! lol
