Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance  = 15miles north = 24140.2m

Initial velocity  = 0m/s

Final velocity  = 4m/s

Unknown:

Speed, velocity and acceleration = ?

Solution:

The speed is the distance divide by time. It is a scalar quantity and has no directional attribute.

  Speed  = \frac{distance }{time}  

  The speed of the student is 4m/s

Velocity is the displacement divided by time. It is a vector quantity which specifies the direction and magnitude;

    Velocity  = \frac{displacement}{time}  

   The velocity of the student is 4m/s due north

Acceleration is the change in velocity with time;

     To find the acceleration, we use

      v²  = u² + 2as

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance

     4² = 0² + 2x a x 24140.2

       a  = \frac{16}{2 x 24140.2}  = 0.00033m/s²

Given Information:  

Current = I = 20 A

Diameter = d = 0.205 cm = 0.00205 m

Length of wire = L = 1 m

Required Information:  

Energy produced = P = ?

Answer:  

P = 2.03 J/s

Explanation:  

We know that power required in a wire is

P = I²R

and R = ρL/A

Where ρ is the resistivity of the copper wire 1.68x10⁻⁸ Ω.m

L is the length of the wire and A is the area of the cross-section and is given by

A = πr²

A = π(d/2)²

A = π(0.00205/2)²

A = 3.3x10⁻⁶ m²

R = ρL/A

R = 1.68x10⁻⁸*(1)/3.3x10⁻⁶

R = 5.09x10⁻³ Ω

P = I²R

P = (20)²*5.09x10⁻³

P = 2.03 Watts or P = 2.03 J/s

Therefore, 2.03 J/s of energy is produced in 1.00 m of 12-gauge copper wire carrying a current of 20 A

Would it be better to collide head-on with an identical car traveling at the same speed or collide with a stationary brick wall?
attashe74 [19]
It makes no difference. The momentum of either car goes to zero in both cases.

A box is at rest on a table. What can you say about the forces acting on the box?
Nikitich [7]
You can tell a lot about an object that's not moving,
and also a lot about the forces acting on it:

==> If the box is at rest on the table, then it is not accelerating.

==> Since it is not accelerating, I can say that the forces on it are balanced.

==> That means that the sum of all forces acting on the box is zero,
and the effect of all the forces acting on it is the same as if there were
no forces acting on it at all.

==> This in turn means that all of the horizontal forces are balanced,
AND all of the vertical forces are balanced.

Horizontal forces:
sliding friction, somebody pushing the box

All of the forces on this list must add up to zero. So ...

(sliding friction force) = (pushing force), in the opposite direction.

If nobody pushing the box, then sliding friction force = zero.

Vertical forces:
gravitational force (weight of the box, pulling it down)
normal force (table pushing the box up)

All of the forces on this list must add up to zero, so ...

(Gravitational force down) + (normal force up) = zero

(Gravitational force down) = -(normal force up) .

A small apple weighs 0.8N. How much would an apple that is 4 times as massive weigh?
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

W=31.99 N

Explanation:

W= 8 N (N= kg*m/ s^2)

W= m* g

8 N= m * 9.8 m/s^2

m= 0.816 kg

m*4= (0.816)4

= 3.264 kg

W= mg

= (3.264 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)

W=31.99 N
