You drive a beat-up pickup truck along a straight road for 8.4 km at 70 km/h, at which point the truck runs out of gasoline and

stops. Over the next 30 min, you walk another 2.0 km farther along the road to a gasoline station. What is your average velocity from the beginning of your drive to your arrival at the gasoline station?

Answer:

v_avg = 37 km/h

Explanation:

To find the average velocity in the complete trajectory you use the following formula:

v_{avg}=\frac{v_1+v_2}{2}   ( 1 )

v1: velocity in the first part of the trajectory = 70 km/h

v2: velocity in the second part of the trajectory = ?

You calculate v2 by using the following equation for a motion with constant velocity:

v_2=\frac{2.0km}{30min}*\frac{60min}{1h}=4\frac{km}{h}

you replace the values of v1 and v2 in (1) and you obtain:

v_{avg}=\frac{70km/h+4km/h}{2}=37\frac{km}{h}

hence, the average velocity is 37 km/h

Answer:

v = 16.8 km/h

Explanation:

The average velocity can be calculated usign the following equation:

v = \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}

<u>Where</u>:

Δx: is the change in the displacement

Δt: is the change in the time

The total displacement is:

x_{t} = 8.4 km + 2.0 km = 10.4 km

The initial time is:

t = \frac{x}{v} = \frac{8.4 km}{70 km/h} = 0.12 h  

The total time is:

t_{t} = 0.12 h + 30min*\frac{1 h}{60 min} = 0.62 h  

Finally, by taking:

Δt = 0.62 h

Δx= 10.4 km

The average velocity is:

v = \frac{10.4 km}{0.62 h} = 16.8 km/h        

Therefore, the average velocity is 16.8 km/h.

I hope it helps you!

Classify each possible hypothesis about a medicinal aloe vera plant as falsifiable or non-falsifiable.
pychu [463]

Answer:

Aloe vera is a succulent plant species ( with fleshy water storing tissue) belonging to the genus Aloe.

It is used in many products ( including beverages, cosmetic products as gel, medicinal ointments). Its juice is quite bitter in taste. It is known to be the best skin moisturizer and can be used for healing wounds by enhancing the renewal of damaged cells. It is also used as an anticarcinogen, thus reduces the chances of cancer.

Thus, the given hypothesis can be classified as  falsifiable ( which is proven wrong) or non-falsifiable ( which is proven right) in the following way-

Falsifiable-

Aloe vera juice tastes  better than carrot juice.

Non Falsifiable-

Aloe vera gel is the best  natural skin moisturizer.

Aloe vera gel can heal  wounds by boosting  cell renewal.

Drinking aloe juice can  reduce the risk of lung  cancer.

A thin Nichrome wire connected to an ammeter surrounds a region of time-varying magnetic flux, and the ammeter reads 13 amperes.
Semenov [28]

Answer:

The current would be same in both situation.

Explanation:

Given that,

Current I = 13 A

Number of turns = 23

We need to calculate the induced emf

Using formula of induced emf is

\epsilon=NA\dfrac{dB}{dt}

For N = 1

\epsilon=A\dfrac{dB}{dt}

We need to calculate the current

Using formula of current

i=\dfrac{\epsilon}{R}

Put the value of emf

i=\dfrac{A\dfrac{dB}{dt}}{R}

Now, if the number of turn is 22 , then induced emf would be

\epsilon'=NA\dfrac{dB}{dt}

Then the current would be

i'=\dfrac{\epsilon'}{NR}

i'=\dfrac{NA\dfrac{dB}{dt}}{NR}

i'=\dfrac{A\dfrac{dB}{dt}}{R}

i'=i

Hence, The current would be same in both situation.
