Question 10 of 34

labwork [276]

Julia walks from the park, which is six blocks east of her house, to the store, which is three blocks east of her house. Julia walks for 5 minutes. This walk's average speed will be 1.2 blocks per minute. Option B is correct.

<h3>What is displacement?</h3>

Displacement is defined as the shortest distance between the two points. Distance is the horizontal length covered by the body. While displacement is the shortest distance between the two points.

Displacement is a vector quantity .its unit is m.

The average velocity on this walk will be;

$\rm v_{avg}= \frac{d}{t} \\\\ \rm v_{avg}= \frac{6 \ block+ 3 \ block }{5 \ minute } \\\\ v_{avg}=1.4 \ block /min$

Hence option B is correct.

What direction does current flow from a battery in a series circuit?

telo118 [61]

What's now called "Conventional current" is thought of as the flow of positive charge, from the battery's positive terminal to its negative one.

But it turns out that positive charges don't flow. The physical flow of charge is the flow of electrons. They come out of the battery's negative terminal, and carry negative charge around the circuit to the battery's positive one.

A 50 kg astronaut floating in space throws her 2 kg wrench to the left at 10

Hoochie [10]

The astronaut will move at 0.4 m/s in the opposite direction to the wrench

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum. In fact, the total momentum of the astronaut-wrench system must be conserved before and after the launch.

Before the launch, the total momentum is zero, since the astronaut is at rest:

p = 0 (1)

After the launch, the total momentum is:

$p=mv+MV$ (2)

where :

m = 2 kg is the mass of the wrench

v = 10 m/s is the velocity of the wrench

M = 50 kg is the mass of the astronaut

V is the recoil velocity of the astronaut

Since momentum is conserved, we can write (1) = (2), and so we can solve for V:

$0=mv+MV\\V=-\frac{mv}{M}=-\frac{(2)(10)}{50}=-0.4 m/s$

And the negative sign means that the astronaut will move in the opposite direction to the wrench.

A stationary siren on a firehouse is blaring at 81Hz. Assume the speed of sound to be 343m/s. What is the frequency perceived by

inn [45]

For a stationary siren on a firehouse is blaring at 81Hz. Assume the speed of sound to be 343m/s, the frequency perceived is mathematically given as'

F=81.721Hz

<h3>What is the frequency perceived by a firefighter racing toward the station at 11km/h?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the doppler effect is mathematically given as

$F'=\frac{vs+v}{vs}*f$

Therefore

F=81(343+3.05556)/343

F=81.721Hz

In conclusion, the frequency is

F=81.721Hz
