Answer:

The speed of the cyclist is 2.75 km/min.

Explanation:

Given

The distance d = 88 km

Time t = 32 minutes

To determine

We need to find the speed of a cyclist.

In order to determine the speed of a cyclist, all we need to do is to divide the distance covered by a cyclist by the time taken to cover the distance.

Using the formula involving speed, time, and distance

$s=\frac{d}{t}$

where

s = speed

d = distance covered

t = time taken

substitute d = 88, and t = 32 in the formula

$s=\frac{d}{t}$

$s=\frac{88}{32}$

Cancel the common factor 8

$s=\frac{11}{4}$

$s=2.75$ km/min

Therefore, the speed of the cyclist is 2.75 km/min.

Which changes will decrease the electric force between two positively charged objects? Check all that apply.

zaharov [31]

Answer:

Moving them farther apart

Explanation:

The electric field between the two charges Q and q separated by a distance r is given by

$E = \frac{K\times Q\times q}{r^{2}}$

It shows that the electric field is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two charges.

So, as the distance between two charges increases, the electric filed between the two charges decreases.

Answer:

The resultant velocity is $v_t=10 knots$

Explanation:

Apply the law of conservation of momentum

$M_L *v_L + M_f * V_f = (M_L + M_f) v_t$

Where $M_L$ is the mass of the Luxury Liner = 40,000 ton

$v_L$ is the velocity of Luxury Liner = 20 knots due west

$M_f$ mass of freighter = 60,000

$v_f$ is the velocity of freighter = 10 knots due north

Apply the law of conservation of momentum toward the the west direction

$v_f = 0 \ knots$

So the equation would be

$M_L *v_L = (M_L + M_f) v_t$

Substituting values

$40000*20 = (40000+ 60000)v_t_w$

Where $v_t_w$ the final velocity due west

Making $v_t_w$ the subject

$v_t_w = \frac{40,000* 20}{(40000 + 60000)}$

$= 8 \ knots$

Apply the law of conservation of momentum toward the the north direction

$v_L = 0 \ knots$

So the equation would be

$M_f *v_f = (M_L + M_f) v_t_n$

Where $v_t_n$ the final velocity due north

Making $v_t_n$ the subject

$v_t_n = \frac{60,000* 10}{(40000 + 60000)}$

$= 6 \ knots$

The resultant velocity is

$v_t = \sqrt{v_t_w^2 + v_t_n^2}$

$= \sqrt{8^2 +6^2}$

$v_t=10 knots$

Electromagnetic radiation behaves both as particles (called photons) and as waves. Wavelength (λ) and frequency (ν) are related

inessss [21]

<h2>Answer: 136.363 m</h2>

Explanation:

We can find the wavelength of the radiation produced by the microwave oven by using the following given equation:

$c=\lambda.\nu$ (1)

Clearing $\lambda$ :

$\lambda=\frac{c}{\nu}$ (2)

Knowing $\nu=2.20 GHz=2.20(10)^{6}Hz=2.20(10)^{6}s^{-1}$

$\lambda=\frac{3(10)^{8}m/s}{2.20(10)^{6}s^{-1}}$ (3)

$\lambda=136.363m$ This is the wavelength of the radiation produced by the microwave
