Based on observations, the speed of a jogger can be approximated by the relation v 5 7.5(1 2 0.04x) 0.3, where v and x are expre

ssed in mi/h and miles, respectively. Knowing that x 5 0 at t 5 0, determine (a) the distance the jogger has run when t 5 1 h, (b) the jogger’s acceleration in ft/s2 at t 5 0, (c) the time required for the jogger to run 6 mi.

     we have to eliminate x from the equation (1) using equation (2).  

     Eliminating x we get:

The Sun travels in a circular orbit at a velocity of 220 km/second at a distance of 8.5 kiloparsecs from the center of the Galax
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

2.353 × 10⁵ years

Explanation:

Since speed, v = distance/time

time, t = distance/speed

The distance, d = circumference of orbit = 2πr where r = radius of orbit = 8.5 kiloparsecs = 8.5 kiloparsecs × 3.1 × 10¹³ kilometers/parsec = ‭26.35‬ × 10¹³ kilometers and velocity of sun, v = 220 km/s

So, the time it takes to complete one orbit, T is

T = 2πr/v

= 2π × 26.35‬ × 10¹³ km/220 km/s

= 165.562  × 10¹³ km ÷ 220 km/s

= 0.753 × 10¹³ s

= 7.53 × 10¹² s

We now convert T to years

T = 7.53 × 10¹² s ÷ 3.2 × 10⁷ seconds/year

T = 2.353 × 10⁵ years

Assuming that voltage remains constant, what happens to the current in a filament if it is replaced by a longer wire?
Elena L [17]

Answer:

Choice B: The current decreases.

Explanation:

The resistance of a conductor is proportional to its length when radius and resistivity stays the same. The resistance of the longer filament will be greater than the resistance of the initial one.

For Ohmic conductors,

\displaystyle I = \frac{V}{R},

where

  • I is the current through the conductor,
  • V is the voltage across the conductor, and
  • R is the resistance of the conductor.

Voltage here stays the same. Increasing the resistance R of the conductor will reduce the current.

The filament might heat up over time. The filament might not be an ohmic conductor. Still, a similar trend shall exist. Resistance will be greater in the longer filament, and current will decrease.

If the San Andreas Fault moves 200 cm (2 meters) per big earthquake, and plate movement is xx cm/yr (see question above), how ma
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Option C

80 years

Explanation:

<em>From Scientific records, the rate of movement of the plate is 0.025 meters</em>

Since the fault moves at the rate of 2 meters per year, to obtain the number of years it will takes to produce an earth quake, we will have to divide the rate of movement of the fault by the rate of movement of the plate.

Number of years for earthquake = \frac{2}{0.025}= 80 years.

Hence, it will take 80 years to produce one big earthquake.
