How is it technically correct to say that a car making a u-turn can have a constant speed but cannot have a constant velocity?

1 answer:

5 0

During the "U" part of the turn, the car would follow an approximately circular path, and if it's moving at a constant speed, it would have to accelerate toward the center of the circle in order to change its direction.

A train moves uniform velocity of 36km/h for 15 sec.find distance

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

S = V × t

Explanation:

first convert 36km/h to m/s

36km/h=36*5/18=180/18=10m/s

d =s*t

=10*10=100m

In a single wire, how much current would be required to generate 1 Tesla magnetic field at a 2 meter distance away from the wire

aev [14]

Answer:

12.56 A.

Explanation:

The magnetic field of a conductor carrying current is give as

H = I/2πr ............................... Equation 1

Where H = Magnetic Field, I = current, r = distance, and π = pie

Making I the subject of the equation,

I = 2πrH............... Equation 2

Given: H = 1 T, r = 2 m.

Constant: π = 3.14

Substitute into equation 2

I = 2×3.14×2×1

I = 12.56 A.

Hence, the magnetic field = 12.56 A.

A 100-W (watt) light bulb has resistance R=143Ω (ohms) when attached to household current, where voltage varies as V=V0sin(2πft)

Phantasy [73]

Complete Question

A 100-W (watt) light bulb has resistance R=143Ω (ohms) when attached to household current, where voltage varies as V=V0sin(2πft), where V0=110 V, f=60 Hz. The power supplied to the bulb is P=V2R J/s (joules per second) and the total energy expended over a time period [0,T] (in seconds) is $U = \int\limits^T_0 {P(t)} \, dt$
