It takes 15 min to drive 6.0 mi in a straight line to the local hospital. It takes 10 min to go the last 3.0 mi, 2.0 min to go t

he last mile, and only 30 s (0.50 min) to go the last 0.50 mi. What is the average speed of the trip? Take the positive xx ‑direction to be from the starting point toward the hospital.

Answer:

36.87 km/h

Explanation:

Convert all the units in SI system

1 mile = 1609.34 m

d1 = 6 mi = 9656.04 m

t1 = 15 min = 15 x 60 = 900 s

d2 = 3 mi = 4828.02 m

t2 = 10 min = 10 x 60 = 600 s

d3 = 1 mi = 1609.34 m

t3 = 2 min = 2 x 60 = 120 s

d4 = 0.5 mi = 804.67 m

t4 = 0.5 min = 0.5 x 60 = 30 s

Total distance, d = d1 + d2 + d3 + d4

d = 9656.04 + 4828.02 + 1609.34 + 804.67 = 16898.07 m = 16.898 km

total time, t = t1 + t2 + t3 + t4

t = 900 + 600 + 120 + 30 = 1650 s = 0.4583 h

The ratio of the total distance covered to the total time taken is called average speed.

Average speed = 16.898 / 0.4583 = 36.87 km/h

Why does fluid pressure exist?

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Fluid pressure from gravity is the weight of the fluid above divided by the area it is pushing on. Fluid pressure applies in all directions. Internal pressure of an object equals the external fluid pressure, otherwise the object could be crushed. Wind and heating can also create pressure.

A worker pushes horizontally on a large crate with a force of 265.0 N and the crate moved 4.3 m. How much work was done?

trapecia [35]

Answer:

<h2>1139.5 J</h2>

Explanation:

The work done by an object can be found by using the formula

workdone = force × distance

From the question we have

work done = 265 × 4.3 = 1139.5

We have the final answer as

<h3>1139.5 J</h3>

Hope this helps you

A circular loop of wire has radius of 9.50 cmcm. A sinusoidal electromagnetic plane wave traveling in air passes through the loo

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

The induced emf is $\epsilon = 0.1041 \ V$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The radius of the circular loop is $r = 9.50 \ cm = 0.095 \ m$

The intensity of the wave is $I = 0.0215 \ W/m^2$

The wavelength is $\lambda = 6.90\ m$

Generally the intensity is mathematically represented as

$I = \frac{ c * B^2 }{ 2 * \mu_o }$

Here $\mu_o$ is the permeability of free space with value

$\mu_o = 4 \pi *10^{-7} N/A^2$

B is the magnetic field which can be mathematically represented from the equation as

$B = \sqrt{ \frac{ 2 * \mu_o * I }{ c} }$

substituting values

$B = \sqrt{ \frac{ 2 * 4\pi *10^{-7} * 0.0215 }{ 3.0*10^{8}} }$

$B = 1.342 *10^{-8} \ T$

The area is mathematically represented as

$A = \pi r^2$

substituting values

$A = 3.142 * (0.095)^2$

$A = 0.0284$

The angular velocity is mathematically represented as

$w = 2 * \pi * \frac{c}{\lambda }$

substituting values

$w = 2 * 3.142 * \frac{3.0*10^{8}}{ 6.90 }$

$w = 2.732 *10^{8} rad \ s^{-1}$

Generally the induced emf is mathematically represented as

$\epsilon = N * B * A * w * sin (wt )$

At maximum induced emf $sin (wt) = 1$

So

$\epsilon = N * B * A * w$

substituting values

$\epsilon = 1 * 1.342 *10^{-8} * 0.0284 *2.732 *10^{8}$

$\epsilon = 0.1041 \ V$
