One speed skater starts across a frozen lake at an average speed of 8 m/s. Ten seconds later, a second speed skater starts from

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

40 s

Explanation:

After 10 seconds, the first skater would have a 8m/s * 10s = 80 m head start

Let t be the number of seconds after the second skater starts will the second skater overtake the first skater

The distance traveled by the first skater after t seconds is

$s_1 = v_1t = 8t$

Similarly the distance traveled by the 2nd skater after t seconds is

$s_2 = v_2t = 10t$

Since the 2nd skater catches up to the 1st one after 80 m behind, the distance traveled by the 2nd one must be 80m greater than the distance of the 1st skater

$s_2 = s_1 + 80$

We can substitute $s_1 = 8t, s_2 = 10t$

$10t = 8t + 80$

$2t = 80$

$t = 80 / 2 = 40 s$

A flat coil of wire consisting of 20 turns, each with an area of 50 cm2, is positioned perpendicularly to a uniform magnetic fie

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

i = 0.5 A

Explanation:

As we know that magnetic flux is given as

$\phi = NBA$

here we know that

N = number of turns

B = magnetic field

A = area of the loop

now we know that rate of change in magnetic flux will induce EMF in the coil

so we have

$EMF = NA\frac{dB}{dt}$

now plug in all values to find induced EMF

$EMF = (20)(50 \times 10^{-4})(\frac{6 - 2}{2})$

$EMF = 0.2 volts$

now by ohm's law we have

$current = \frac{EMF}{Resistance}$

$i = \frac{0.2}{0.40} = 0.5 A$

Suppose an individual is lying on his stomach with sheets of paper stacked on his back. If each sheet of paper has a mass of 0.0

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

N = 177843 sheets

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass;m = 0.0035 kg

Pressure; p = 101325 pa = 101325 N/m²

L = 0.279m

W = 0.216m

The weight of N sheets is N(mg)

Where;

m is the mass of one sheet

N is number of sheets

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

The pressure equals weight divided by the area on which the weight presses:

Thus,

p= F/A = Nmg/(L•W)

Therefore, making N the subject;

N = pLW/(mg)

N = 101325 x 0.279 x 0.216/ (0.0035 x 9.81)

N = 177843
