Answer:

201.5537 mph

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Speed = 90.1 m/s

Speed can be defined as distance covered per unit time. Speed is a scalar quantity and as such it has magnitude but no direction.

Mathematically, speed is given by the formula;

Speed = distance/time

To convert this value into miles per hour;

Conversion;

1 meter = 0.000621 mile

90.1 meters = 90.1 * 0.000621 = 0.05595 miles

1 metre per second = 2.237 miles per hour

90.1 meters per seconds = 90.1 * 2.237 = 201.5537 miles per hour

90.1 m/s = 201.5537 mph

g a small smetal sphere, carrying a net charge is held stationarry. what is the speed are 0.4 m apart

weeeeeb [17]

Complete Question

A small metal sphere, carrying a net charge q1=−2μC, is held in a stationary position by insulating supports. A second small metal sphere, with a net charge of q2= -8μC and mass 1.50g, is projected toward q1. When the two spheres are 0.80m apart, q2 is moving toward q1 with speed 20ms−1. Assume that the two spheres can be treated as point charges. You can ignore the force of gravity.The speed of q2 when the spheres are 0.400m apart is.

Answer:

The value $v_2 = 4 \sqrt{10} \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The charge on the first sphere is $q_1 = 2\mu C = 2*10^{-6} \ C$

The charge on the second sphere is $q_2 = 8 \mu C = 8*10^{-6} \ C$

The mass of the second charge is $m = 1.50 \ g = 1.50 *10^{-3} \ kg$

The distance apart is $d = 0.4 \ m$

The speed of the second sphere is $v_1 = 20 \ ms^{-1}$

Generally the total energy possessed by when $q_2$ and $q_1$ are separated by $0.8 \ m$ is mathematically represented

$Q = KE + U$

Here KE is the kinetic energy which is mathematically represented as

$KE = \frac{1 }{2} m (v_1)^2$

substituting value

$KE = \frac{1 }{2} * ( 1.50 *10^{-3}) (20 )^2$

$KE = 0.3 \ J$

And U is the potential energy which is mathematically represented as

$U = \frac{k * q_1 * q_2 }{d }$

substituting values

$U = \frac{9*10^9 * 2*10^{-6} * 8*10^{-6} }{0.8 }$

$U = 0.18 \ J$

$Q = 0.3 + 0.18$

$Q = 0.48 \ J$

Generally the total energy possessed by when $q_2$ and $q_1$ are separated by $0.4 \ m$ is mathematically represented

$Q_f = KE_f + U_f$

Here $KE_f$ is the kinetic energy which is mathematically represented as

$KE_f = \frac{1 }{2} m (v_2^2$

substituting value

$KE_f = \frac{1 }{2} * ( 1.50 *10^{-3}) (v_2 )^2$

$KE_f = 7.50 *10^{ -4} (v_2 )^2$

And $U_f$ is the potential energy which is mathematically represented as

$U_f = \frac{k * q_1 * q_2 }{d }$

substituting values

$U_f = \frac{9*10^9 * 2*10^{-6} * 8*10^{-6} }{0.4 }$

$U_f = 0.36 \ J$

From the law of energy conservation

$Q = Q_f$

$0.48 = 0.36 +(7.50 *10^{-4} v_2^2)$

$v_2 = 4 \sqrt{10} \ m/s$

A gyre is a set of currents that form:

tangare [24]

A gyre is a set of currents that form b. a loop. The circulation of gyres are affected by global wind patterns, landmasses, and the planet's rotation. The circulation is also affected by temperature, as warm water goes up and cold water sinks. There are five major gyres in the world: <span>North Atlantic, South Atlantic, Indian, North Pacific, and South Pacific.</span>

An electric heater is operated by applying a potential difference of 78.0 V across a nichrome wire of total resistance 7.00 Ω. a

aleksley [76]

PART A)

Here we know that

potential difference across the wire is

$V = 78 volts$

resistance of wire is

$R = 7 ohm$

now by ohm's law

$V = iR$

$78 = i(7 ohm)$

$i = 11.14 A$

Part b)

Power rating is defined as rate of electrical energy

it is defined as

$P = iV$

now we have

$P = 11.14 ( 78)$

$P = 869.1 Watt$

This is a measure of force per unit area.

Vlad1618 [11]

<h2>Answer: Pressure</h2>

<u>Pressure</u> is the force $F$ exerted by a gas, a liquid or a solid on a surface (or area) $A$ .

Its unit according to the International System of Units is Pascal $Pa$ which is equal to $N/m^{2}$ and its formula is:

$P=\frac{F}{A}$

How much energy is given to each coulomb of charge passing through a 6 V battery

ELEN [110]

1 volt = 1 joule per coulomb. Current doesn't actually pass 'through' a battery. But if it did, then each coulomb would gain or lose 6 joules in traversing 6 volts, depending on its sign, and whether it climbed or fell.
