Answer:

7.69km/hr due east

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Displacement due west = 3km

Displacement due east = 2km

Time taken = 8 minutes

Unknown:

Average velocity = ?

Solution:

Average velocity is the rate of change of displacement with time.

Velocity = $\frac{displacement}{time }$

Displacement is deals with the start and the end;

Here, displacement = 3km - 2km = 1km due east

Time = 8min

60min = 1hr

8min = $\frac{8}{60}$ = 0.13hr

Average velocity = $\frac{1km}{0.13hr}$ = 7.69km/hr due east

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:
Explain step by step
Explanation:
Collisions with asteroids, comets and other stuff from space have been responsible for huge landmarks in our planet’s history: global shifts in climate, the creation of our moon, the reshuffling of our deepest geology, and the extinction of species.

Asteroid threats pop up in the news every now and then, but the buzz tends to fizzle away as the projectiles pass us by. Other times, as with the 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor in Russia, we don’t know they’re here until they’re here.
Perhaps most useful to remember is that when near-Earth objects (including asteroids, comets and meteoroids) enter the atmosphere, they’re called meteors; and if there’s anything left when they hit the ground, the resulting object is called a meteorite. We tend to focus on asteroids when talking about potential collisions, because they’re more likely to hit us than other stuff like comets, but still big enough to pose a threat.

The coefficient of linear expansion of copper is 17 x 10^-6 K-1. A block of copper 30 cm wide, 45 cm long, and 10 cm thick is he

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

The change in volume is $6.885\times 10^{- 5}\$

Solution:

As per the question:

Coefficient of linear expansion of Copper, $\alpha = 17\times 10^{- 6}\ K^{- 1}$

Initial Temperature, T = $0^{\circ}$ = 273 K

Final Temperature, T' = $100^{\circ}$ = 273 + 100 = 373 K

Now,

Initial Volume of the block, V = $30\times 45\times 10\times 10^{- 6}\ m^{3} = 0.0135\ m^{3}$

$V' = V(1 + \gamma \Delta T)$

$\gamma = 3\alpha$

$V' = V(1 + 3\alpha \Delta T)$

where

V' = Final volume

$V' - V= 0.0135\times 17\times 10^{- 6} \times (T' - T))$

$\Delta V= 0.0135\times 3\times 17\times 10^{- 6} \times (373 - 273)) = 6.885\times 10^{- 5}\$

A long, straight metal rod has a radius of 5.75 cm and a charge per unit length of 33.3 nC/m. Find the electric field at the fol

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the question;

We will make assumptions of certain values since they are not given but the process to achieve the end result will be the same thing.

We are to calculate the following task, i.e. to determine the electric field at the distances:

a) at 4.75 cm

b) at 20.5 cm

c) at 125.0 cm

Given that:

the charge (q) = 33.3 nC/m

= 33.3 × 10⁻⁹ c/m

radius of rod = 5.75 cm

a) from the given information, we will realize that the distance lies inside the rod. Provided that there is no charge distribution inside the rod.

Then, the electric field will be zero.

b) The electric field formula $E = \dfrac{kq }{d}$

$E = \dfrac{9 \times 10^9 \times (33.3 \times 10^{-9}) }{0.205}$

E = 1461.95 N/C

c) The electric field E is calculated as:

$E = \dfrac{9 \times 10^9 \times (33.3 \times 10^{-9}) }{1.25}$

E = 239.76 N/C

A family has a furnace that uses natural gas to heat their home. They are moving to an area that offers the option of using ener

Murrr4er [49]

The disadvantage will the family most likely face by making this switch is that solar power has a less reliable production of heat.Option A is correct.

<h3>What is a power plant?</h3>

A power plant is an industrial structure that generates electricity. The majority of power plants are linked to the electrical grid.

Nuclear power bare a form of the thermal power plant. You have a reactor where fission takes place and heat is generated, a heat exchanger that transports this heat to where it is needed.

Thermal power plant equipment converts this heat into electric energy, usually via a steam turbine.

The household will most likely experience a disadvantage from this decision in that solar power produces heat less consistently.

Hence option A is correct,
