During the first 14 minutes of a 1.0 hour trip, a car has an average speed 36 km/h. What must the average speed in km/h of the c

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

85.5 km/h

Explanation:

$t_{1}$ = time interval for first phase = 14 min = $\frac{14}{60}$ h = 0.233 h

$t_{2}$ = time interval for second phase = 46 min = $\frac{46}{60}$ h = 0.767 h

$v$ = average speed for the entire trip = 74 km/h

$v_{1}$ = average speed in first phase = 36 km/h

$v_{2}$ = average speed in second phase

$d_{1}$ = distance traveled in first phase

$d_{2}$ = distance traveled in first phase

average speed is given as

$v = \frac{d_{1} + d_{2}}{t_{1} + t_{2}}$

$v = \frac{v_{1} t_{1} + v_{2} t_{2}}{t_{1} + t_{2}}$

$74 = \frac{(36) (0.233) + v_{2} (0.767)}{0.233 + 0.767}$

$74 = (36) (0.233) + v_{2} (0.767)$

$v_{2} = 85.5$ km/h

A uniformly charged rod (length = 2.0 m, charge per unit length = 3.0 nc/m) is bent to form a semicircle. What is the magnitude

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

84.82N/C.

Explanation:

The x-components of the electric field cancel; therefore, we only care about the y-components.

The y-component of the differential electric field at the center is

$dE = \frac{kdQ }{R^2} sin(\theta )$ .

Now, let us call $\lambda$ the charge per unit length, then we know that

$dQ = \lambda Rd\theta$ ;

therefore,

$dE = \frac{k \lambda R d\theta }{R^2} sin(\theta )$

$dE = \frac{k \lambda d\theta }{R} sin(\theta )$

Integrating

$E = \frac{k \lambda }{R}\int_0^\pi sin(\theta )d\theta$

$E = \frac{k \lambda }{R}*[-cos(\pi )+cos(0) ]$

$E = \frac{2k \lambda }{R}.$

Now, we know that

$\lambda = 3.0*10^{-9}C/m,$

$k = 9*10^9kg\cdot m^3\cdot s^{-4}\cdot A^{-2},$

and the radius of the semicircle is

$\pi R = 2.0m,\\\\R = \dfrac{2.0m}{\pi };$

therefore,

$E = \frac{2(9*10^9) (3.0*10^{-9}) }{\dfrac{2.0}{\pi } }.$

$\boxed{E = 84.82N/C.}$

What is the volume of a cone with a height of 27 cm

JulijaS [17]

Explanation:

→ Volume of cone = πr² × h/3

Here,

Radius (r) = 13 cm
Height (h) = 27 cm

→ Volume of cone = π(13)² × 27/3 cm³

→ Volume of cone = 169π × 9 cm³

→ Volume of cone = 1521π cm³

→ Volume of cone = 1521 × 22/7 cm³

→ Volume of cone = 33462/7 cm³

→ <u>Volume of cone = 4780.28 cm³</u>

Scientists plan to release a space probe that will enter the atmosphere of a gaseous planet. The temperature of the gaseous plan

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Scientists plan to release a space probe that will enter the atmosphere of a gaseous planet. The temperature of the gaseous planet increases linearly with the height of the atmosphere as measured from the top of a visible boundary layer, defined as 0 kilometers in altitude. The instruments on board can withstand a temperature of 601 K. At what altitude will the probe's instruments fail? A. 50 kilometers B. 80 kilometers C. 83 kilometers D. 100 kilometers E. 111 kilometers

Explanation:

A. 50 kilometers
