A runner starts at position zero and moves in one direction to position 12m 3. What is the distance traveled by the runner?
murzikaleks [220]

<u>Distance = 12 m</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Distance covered by the runner is same as the total path that he has ran. Here, a person starts at 0 position and goes in one direction to position 12 m. Since the initial point is 0 and the final position is 12, the total distance is calculated by adding the 2 points as: 0+12 = 12 m. So the distance covered and the displacement both are same which is 12 meters.

Distance traveled is the full length of the path covered between two points. It is not a vector and the direction is nil and no negative sign.  Example : The distance walked by the teacher is 3.0 m ,The distance walked by a passenger is 5.0 m. Also, the distance traveled need not be equal to the magnitude of the displacement which is the distance between the two positions.

A metal ring 4.30 cm in diameter is placed between the north and south poles of large magnets with the plane of its area perpend
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

A)0.00966 N/C

B) counterclockwise direction

Explanation:

We are given;

Diameter of the metal ring; d = 4.3 cm

Radius;r = 2.15 cm = 0.021- m

Initial magnetic field, B = 1.12 T

Rate of decrease of the magnetic field;dB/dt = 0.23 T/s

Now, as a result of change in magnetic field, an emf will be induced in it. Thus, , electric field is induced and given by the formula :

∫E•dr = d/dt∫B.A •dA

This gives;

E(2πr) = dB/dt(πr²)

Gives;. 2E = dB/dt(r)

E = dB/dt × 2r

We are given;

E = 0.23 × 2(0.021)

E = 0.00966 N/C

The magnitude of the electric field induced in the ring has a magnitude of 0.00966 N/C

B) The direction of electric field will be in a counterclock wise direction when viewed by someone on the south pole of the magnet

A mechanic needs to replace the motor for a merry-go-round. The merry-go-round should accelerate from rest to 1.5 rad/s in 7.0 s
marta [7]

Answer

given,

initial speed of merry-go-round = 0 rad/s

final speed of merry-go-round = 1.5 rad/s

time = 7 s

Radius of the disk = 6 m

Mass of the merry-go-round = 25000 Kg

Moment of inertia of the disk

I = \dfrac{1}{2}MR^2

I = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 25000\times 6^2

   I = 450000 kg.m²

angular acceleration

\alpha = \dfrac{\omega_f-\omega_0}{t}

\alpha = \dfrac{1.5-0}{7}

\alpha =0.214\ rad/s^2

we know,

\tau= I \alpha

\tau= 450000\times 0.214

\tau=96300\ N.m

A Carnot heat engine has an efficiency of 0.400. If it operates between a deep lake with a constant temperature of 298.0k and a
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

496.7 K

Explanation:

The efficiency of a Carnot engine is given by the equation:

\eta = 1 - \frac{T_H}{T_L}

where:

T_H is the temperature of the hot reservoir

T_C is the temperature of the cold reservoir

For the engine in the problem, we know that

\eta = 0.400 is the efficiency

T_C = 298.0 K is the temperature of the cold reservoir

Solving for T_H, we find:

\frac{T_C}{T_H}=1-\eta\\T_H = \frac{T_C}{1-\eta} =\frac{298.0}{1-0.400}=496.7 K

Write a brief essay describing how Newton’s Laws explain how a rocket in space can move objects
statuscvo [17]
The First Law describes how an object acts when no force is acting upon it. So, rockets stay still until a force is applied to move them. Likewise, once they're in motion, they won't stop until a force is applied. Newton's Second Law tells us that the more mass an object has, the more force is needed to move it. A larger rocket will need stronger forces (eg. more fuel) to make it accelerate. The space shuttles required seven pounds of fuel for every pound of payload they carry. Newton's Third Law states that "every action has an equal and opposite reaction". In a rocket, burning fuel creates a push on the front of the rocket pushing it forward.
