Answer:

1). Average speed = 1.5 m per second

2). Average velocity = 1.5 m per second

Explanation:

1). Since, speed is a scalar quantity

Therefore, average speed of the trip = $\frac{\text{Total distance covered}}{\text{Total time taken}}$

From the graph attached,

Total distance covered = 10 + 10 + 20 + 0 + 20 + 30

= 90 meters

Total time taken = 60 seconds

Average speed = $\frac{90}{60}$

= 1.5 meter per second

2). Velocity is a vector quantity.

Therefore, average velocity = $\frac{\triangle d}{\triangle t}$

= $\frac{d_{60}-d_0}{60-0}$

= $\frac{90-0}{60-0}$

= 1.5 meter per second

A capacitor with a capacitance of 50µf when connected to a battery of 400 V. The charge and energy stored on it is? a. 0.05 C an

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

c. 0.02 C and 4 J

Explanation:

Applying,

Q = CV................ Equation 1

Where Q = Charge, C = Capacitance of the capacitor, V = Voltage.

From the question,

Given: C = 50 μF = 50×10⁻⁶ F, V = 400 V

Substitute these values into equation 1

Q = (50×10⁻⁶)(400)

Q = 0.02 C.

Also Applying

E = CV²/2............. Equation 2

Where E = Energy stored.

Therefore,

E = (50×10⁻⁶ )(400²)/2

E = 4 J

Hence the right option is c. 0.02 C and 4 J

The rock will continue to travel in a straight line with a constant velocity for ever... The reason is, once it leaves your hand there is no force acting on the rock, so it will just continue to move in a natural motion which is constant velocity.

How do you find the net force acting on an object?

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

C. Add all the force vectors

Explanation:

The net force acting on an object is the vector sum of all the forces on the object.

Remember, Newton's first law tells us a body at rest will remain at rest or that in uniform motion will continue in motion unless acted by unbalanced forces.These unbalanced forces act in all direction towards the body thus to get the net force you require a summation of all these force with respect to their magnitudes and directions.

For example a force of 3N towards the East direction acting on a body and another force of 2N towards the West direction on the same body will generate a net force of 1N towards the East direction.

100 kw of power is delivered to the other side of a city by a pair of power lines with the voltage difference of 13014.1 v.

FinnZ [79.3K]

A) The power delivered to the lines is
$P_{in}= 100 kW=1 \cdot 10^5 W$
And the voltage at which the lines work is
$V=13014.1 V$
Since the power delivered is the product between the voltage and the current:
$P=VI$
We can find the current flowing in the lines:
$I= \frac{P}{V}= \frac{1 \cdot 10^5 W}{13014.1 V}=7.68 A$

b) The voltage change along each line can be found by using Ohm's law:
$\Delta V = IR = (7.68 A)(10 \Omega)=76.8 V$

c) The power wasted as heat along each line is given by:
$P_d = I^2 R = (7.68 A)^2 (10 \Omega) = 590 W$
And since we have 2 lines, the total power wasted as heat in both lines is
$P_d = 2 \cdot 590 W=1180 W$
