Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Distance = 4.0m

Time = 5.0 mins = 300secs

Required

Average speed

Average speed = Distance/Time

Average speed = 4.0/300

Average speed = 0.01333m/secs

Hence the average speed of the snail is 0.01333m/s

The velocity of 200kg object changes from 10m/s to 22m/s in 12 sec.what is the force on the accelerated object?

Vikentia [17]

Initial velocity (u) = 10 m/s
Final velocity (v) = 22 m/s
Time (t) = 12 s
Mass (m) = 200 Kg
Let the acceleration be a.
By using the equation of motion,

v = u + at, we have

22 m/s = 10 m/s + 12 s × a
or, 22m/s - 10 m/s = 12 s × a
or, 12 m/s = 12 s × a
or, a = 1 m/s^2
Let the force be F.
We know, F = ma
Therefore, the force on the accelerated object (F)
= ma
= (200 × 1) N
= 200 N

Answer:

b) 200 N

hree identical resistors are connected in series. When a certain potential difference is applied across the combination, the tot

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

The power dissipated if the three resistors were connected in parallel across the same potential difference is 405 W

Explanation:

Given;

three identical resistors connected in series

let the first resistor = R₁

let the second resistor = R₂

let the third resistor = R₃

Rt = R₁ + R₂ + R₃

Since the resistors are identical, thus, R₁ = R₂ = R₃ = R

Rt = 3R

Power is given as;

P = IV = V² / R

$P = \frac{V^2}{R_t} = \frac{V^2}{3R} \\\\3P = \frac{V^2}{R} ------equation(i)$

If the 3 identical resistor connection were changed to parallel, then the equivalent resistance in the circuit will be;

$\frac{1}{R_t} = \frac{1}{R_1} +\frac{1}{R_2} + \frac{1}{R_3} \\\\But, R_1 = R_2 = R_3\\\\\\frac{1}{R_t} = \frac{1}{R} +\frac{1}{R} + \frac{1}{R} \\\\\frac{1}{R_t} =\frac{3}{R} \\\\R_t = \frac{R}{3} \\\\P = \frac{V^2}{R_t} = \frac{3V^2}{R} \\\\P_{parallel} = \frac{3V^2}{R} ---------equation (ii)\\\\From \ equation \ (i), 3P_{series} = \frac{V^2}{R}, Substitute \ this \ into \ equation \ (ii)\\\\P = 3(\frac{V^2}{R} )\\\\P = 3(3P)\\\\P_{parallel} = 9P_{series}\\\\P_{parallel} = 9(45)\\\\$

$P_{parallel} = 405 \ W$

Therefore, the power dissipated if the three resistors were connected in parallel across the same potential difference is 405 W

yvonne van gennip of the netherlands ice skated 10.0 km with an average speed of 10.8 m/s. suppose vang ennip crosses the finish

Sophie [7]

By conservation of momentum, we will find that the mass is 4.97 kg.

So in the original system, we have two objects, the bouquet of flowers of mass M that is not moving and Yvonne, which has a mass of 63 kg and a speed of 10.8 m/s.

Then the total momentum of this system is:

P = (63kg)*(10.8m/s) + M*(0 m/s) = 680.4 kg*m/s.

Remember the conservation of momentum, thus, the final momentum must be equal to the above one.

In the final situation, Yvonne and the bouquet move together with a speed of 10.01 m/s,

Then the final momentum is:

P' = (63kg + M)*(10.01 m/s)

And that must be equal to the initial momentum, then we have the equation:

(63kg + M)*(10.01 m/s) = 680.4 kg*m/s.

630.63kg*m/s + M*10.01 m/s = 680.4 kg*m/s.

M*10.01 m/s = 680.4 kg*m/s - 630.63kg*m/s = 49.77 kg*m/s

M = (49.77 kg*m/s)/(10.01 m/s) = 4.97 kg

So the mass of the bouquet is 4.97 kg

Listed below are the measured radiation absorption rates (in W/kg) corresponding to 11 cell phones. Use the given data to const

Fantom [35]

Answer:

The 5-number summary is

1. Median = 0.93 W/kg

2. Lower quartile = 0.69 W/kg

3. Upper quartile = 1.16 W/kg

4. Minimum value = 0.54 W/kg

5. Maximum value = 1.42 W/kg

Explanation:

We are given the measured radiation absorption rates (in W/kg) corresponding to 11 cell phones.

1.16 0.85 0.69 0.75 0.95 0.93 1.18 1.17 1.42 0.54 0.57

What is 5-number summary?

A 5-number summary refers to a box plot that basically shows 5 statistical characteristics of a data set.

These statistical characteristics are:

1. Median

2. Lower quartile

3. Upper quartile

4. Minimum value

5. Maximum value

1. Median:

Arrange the data in ascending order

0.54 0.57 0.69 0.75 0.85 0.93 0.95 1.16 1.17 1.18 1.42

(n+1)/2 gives the median value of the data set.

(11 + 1)/2 = 6th position

Therefore, 0.93 W/kg is the median of the data set.

2. Lower quartile:

Divide the data set into two equal halfs (include median in both if n = odd)

Lower half = 0.54 0.57 0.69 0.75 0.85 0.93

Upper half = 0.93 0.95 1.16 1.17 1.18 1.42

The lower quartile is the median of the lower half of the data set.

Lower half = 0.54 0.57 0.69 0.75 0.85 0.93

The median is 6/2 = 3rd position

Therefore, the lower quartile of the data set is 0.69 W/kg

3. Upper quartile:

Divide the data set into two equal halfs (include median in both if n = odd)

Lower half = 0.54 0.57 0.69 0.75 0.85 0.93

Upper half = 0.93 0.95 1.16 1.17 1.18 1.42

The upper quartile is the median of the lower half of the data set.

Upper half = 0.93 0.95 1.16 1.17 1.18 1.42

The median is 6/2 = 3rd position

Therefore, the upper quartile of the data set is 1.16 W/kg

4. Minimum value:

The minimum value is the least value in the data set.

0.54 0.57 0.69 0.75 0.85 0.93 0.95 1.16 1.17 1.18 1.42

Therefore, the minimum value of the data set is 0.54 W/kg

5. Maximum value

The maximum value is the least value in the data set.

0.54 0.57 0.69 0.75 0.85 0.93 0.95 1.16 1.17 1.18 1.42

Therefore, the maximum value of the data set is 1.42 W/kg

The box plot is illustrated in the attached diagram.
