1) Average velocity: 19 mi/h

The average velocity is given by:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d is the displacement

t is the time taken

In this problem,

d = 3.8 mi is the displacement

t=12 min \cdot \frac{1}{60 min/h}=0.2 h is the time taken

Substituting,

v=\frac{3.8 mi}{0.2 h}=19 mi/h

Note that this is actually the average speed, not the average velocity, since there is no information about the direction of the motion.

2) 10,309 mi/h^2

The acceleration is given by

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where we have

v = 28 mph is the final velocity

u = 18 mph is the initial velocity

t = 3.5 s is the time taken

Conerting the time from seconds to hours,

t=3.5 s \cdot \frac{1}{3600 s/h}=9.7\cdot 10^{-4} h

So the acceleration is

a=\frac{28 mph-18 mph}{9.7\cdot 10^{-4} h}=10,309 mi/h^2

Before positive psychology, the main focus was mostly pathology, that is, studying various psychological issues and sometimes finding ways to treat them, or sometimes not and just studying them for the sake of studying them and noting their occurrence.

Define neuron and nerve<br>cell​
san4es73 [151]

Answer: Hi!

A neuron is a basic working unit of the brain. Neurons are special cells designed to transfer information to other nerve, muscle, or gland cells. They are pretty cool - looking too! (A slightly irregular circular shape with branches reaching out from all sides.) A neuron is a nerve cell. Nerve cells are the way of communication in the nervous system.

Hope this helps!

A uniform electric field of magnitude 7.0 ✕ 104 N/C passes through the plane of a square sheet with sides 5.0 m long. Calculate
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

1.52*10^6 Nm^2/C

Explanation:

Given that:

Electrical field E = 7.0 * 10^{-4}N/C

square side l = 5.0 m

Area A = 5.0 * 5.0

= 25.0 m²

Angle ( θ ) between area vector and E = (90° - 60°)

= 30°

The flux \phi_E can now be determined by using the expression

\phi_E = E*A*Cos \theta

\phi_E = 7.0 * 10^{-4}N/C *25.0m*Cos 30^0

\phi_E = 1515544.457 Nm^2/C

\phi_E = 1.52*10^6 Nm^2/C
