6 0

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

A wire 3.22 m long and 7.32 mm in diameter has a resistance of 11.9 mΩ. A potential difference of 33.7 V is applied between the

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

(a) Current is 2831.93 A

(b) $8.40A/m^2$

Explanation:

Length of wire l = 3.22 m

Diameter of wire d = 7.32 mm = 0.00732 m

Cross sectional area of wire

$A=\pi r^2=3.14\times 0.00366^2=4.20\times 10^{-5}m^2$

Resistance $R=11.9mohm=11.9\times 10^{-3}ohm$

Potential difference V = 33.7 volt

(A) current is equal to

$i=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{33.7}{11.9\times 10^{-3}}=2831.93A$

(B) Current density is equal to

$J=\frac{i}{A}$

$J=\frac{2831.93}{4.20\times 10^{-5}}=8.40A/m^2$

$R=\frac{\rho l}{A}$

$11.9\times 10^{-3}=\frac{\rho \times 3.22}{4.20\times 10^{-5}}$

$\rho =15.52\times 10^{-9}ohm-m$

Three identical 6.0-kg cubes are placed on a horizontal frictionless surface in contact with one another. The cubes are lined up

Westkost [7]

Answer:

24 N

Explanation:

$m$ = mass of the cube = $6.0 kg$

Consider the three cubes together as one.

$M$ = mass of the three cubes together = $3 m = 3 (6.0) = 18 kg$

$a$ = acceleration of the combination = 2 ms⁻²

$F$ = Force applied on the combination

Using Newton's second law

$F = ma = (18) (2) = 36 N$

$F_{L}$ = Force by the left cube on the middle cube

Consider the forces acting on left cube, from the force diagram, we have

$F - F_{L} = ma \\36 - F_{L} = (6) (2)\\F_{L} = 24 N$

A Carnot engine whose high-temperature reservoir is at 464 K has an efficiency of 25.0%. By how much should the temperature of t

nexus9112 [7]

Answer

given,

high temperature reservoir (T_c)= 464 K

efficiency of reservoir (ε)= 25 %

temperature to decrease = ?

increase in efficiency = 42 %

now, using equation

$\epsilon = 1 - \dfrac{T_C}{T_H}$

$0.25 = 1 - \dfrac{T_C}{464}$

$T_C= (1 - 0.25) \times 464$

$T_C= 0.75 \times 464$

T_C = 348 K

now,

if the efficiency is equal to 42$ = 0.42

$T_C= (1 - 0.42) \times 464$

$T_C= 0.58 \times 464$

$T_C= 269.12\ K$

A ball is thrown down vertically with an initial speed of 31 ft/s from a height of 40 ft. (a) What is its speed just before it s

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

a. 41.96ft/s

b. 1.096s

Explanation:

a. v²=u²+2gs

v²=31²+2×10×40

V=41.96ft/s

b. t=(v-u) /g

t=(41.96-31)/10

A person is initially driving a car east down a straight road. the magnitude of the instantaneous acceleration is decreasing wit

Alexxandr [17]

By definition, acceleration is the change in velocity per change of time. As time passes by, the time increases in value. So, when the acceleration is decreasing while the time is increasing, then that means that the change of velocity is also decreasing with time. So, optimally, the initial velocity and the velocity at any time are very relatively close to each other,
