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 torque acts on a wheel rotating at 19.8 rad/s and increases its angular speed to 23.5 rad/s in 11.2 s. Find the angle through
faltersainse [42]

243 rad is the angle through which the wheel turns during this time.

<h3>What is torque and angular speed?</h3>

Torque is a measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate about an axis.

Angular speed is define as  the measuring angle of rotation over a given amount of time.

Mathematically , ω = θ t

From the given question ,

Torque = 19.8 rad/s

ω = 23.5 rad/s

t = 11.2 s

We get the equation,

\frac{ 19.8 +23.5}{2} * 11.2

= 243 rad

A parallel-plate capacitor is charged and then is disconnected from the battery. By what factor does the stored energy change wh
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

0.5

Explanation:

The energy of a charged capacitor is given by \frac{1}{2}QC where Q is the charge on it and C is its capacitance. The capacitance is defined, geometrically, as

\dfrac{\epsilon A}{d}

where \epsilon is a constant that is determined by the material between the plates, A is the area of the plates and d is the distance between them. It is then that the capacitance is linearly inversely proportional to the separation distance; as the distance increases, the capacitance reduces.

Because it is linear, when the separation distance is doubled, other factors remaining constant, the capacitance is halved. Because the capacitance is halved, the energy is halved.

Let's see the mathematics.

Initial capacitance, C_1 at initial separation, d_1

C_1=\dfrac{\epsilon A}{d_1}

If separation is doubled, separation becomes d_2=2d_1. Then the capacitance becomes

C_2=\dfrac{\epsilon A}{d_2}

C_2=\dfrac{\epsilon A}{2d_1}

C_2=0.5\dfrac{\epsilon A}{d_1}

C_2=0.5C_1

Initial energy, E_1=\frac{1}{2}QC_1

Final energy, E_2=\frac{1}{2}QC_2= \frac{1}{2}Q\times0.5C_1

E_2=0.5\times\frac{1}{2}QC_1=0.5E_1

Hence, \frac{E_2}{E_1}=0.5

A block with a mass of 0.600 kg is connected to a spring, displaced in the positive direction a distance of 50.0 cm from equilib
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

The amplitude of the oscillation under SHM will be .5 m and the equation of

SHM can be written as follows

x = .5 sin(ωt + π/2) , here the initial phase is π/2 because when t = 0 , x = A ( amplitude) , ω is angular frequency.

x = .5 cosωt

given , when t = .2 s , x = .35 m

.35 = .5 cos ωt

ωt = .79

ω = .79 / .20

= 3.95 rad /s

period of oscillation

T = 2π / ω

= 2 x 3.14 / 3.95

= 1.6 s

b )

ω = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

ω² = k / m

k = ω² x m

= 3.95² x .6

= 9.36 N/s

c )

v = ω\sqrt{(a^2-x^2)}

At t = .2 , x = .35

v = 3.95 \sqrt{.5^2-.35^2}

= 3.95 x .357

= 1.41 m/ s

d )

Acceleration at x

a = ω² x

= 3.95 x .35

= 1.3825 m s⁻²
