Answer:

a)  v = 0.515 km / min ,   b)  x_total = 52 km

Explanation:

The measured speed is defined by the distance traveled between the time

         v = \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}

In this case they give us the speed in several time intervals

let's find the distance traveled in each interval

a) Goes at 75 km/h for 10 min

        v = \frac{x}{t}x / t

         x₁ = v t

let's reduce speed to km / min

         v₁ = 75 km / h (1h / 60 min) = 1.25 km / min

the distance traveled in this time is

        x₁ = 1.25 10

        x₁ = 12.5 km

b) goes to v = 95 km / h for 6 min

        v = 95 km / h (1h 60 min) = 1.5833 km / min

the distance traveled is

        x₂ = v₂2 t

        x₂ = 1.58333 6

        x₂ = 9.5 km

c) goes to v = 40 km / h for 45.0 min

         v₃ = 40 km / h (1 h / 60min) = 0.6667 km / min

         x₃ = 0.6667 45

         x₃ = 30 km

d) t = 40 min, stopped

         x₄ = 0

A) let's calculate the average speed of the trip

          v =\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}+x_{3}+x_{4}   }{t_{1}+t_{2}+t_{3}+t_{4} }

          v = (12.5 +9.5 +30 +0) / (10 +6 +45 +40)

          v = 52/101

         v = 0.515 km / min

B) the distance between the two cities is

        x_total = x₁ + x₂ + x₃

        x_total = 12.5 +9.5 + 30

        x_total = 52 km

By what factor will the Electrostatic Force between two charged objects change when the amount of charge on both objects doubles
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

F' = (4/9)F

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two charged objects is given by Coulomb's Law:

F = kq₁q₂/r²   -------------------- equation (1)

where,

F = Electrostatic Force

k = Coulomb's Constant

q₁ = magnitude of first charge

q₂ = magnitude of second charge

r = distance between charges

Now, when the charges and distance altered as follows:

q₁' = 2q₁

q₂' = 2q₂

r' = 3r

Then,

F' = kq₁'q₂'/r'²

F' = k(2q₁)(2q₂)/(3r)²

F' = (4/9)kq₁q₂/r²

using equation (1):

<u>F' = (4/9)F</u>

What does it mean to say that in any system the total energy score stays the<br> same
timurjin [86]

Answer:

energy is conserved

a force sets an object in motion. when the force is multiplied by the time of its application we call the quantity impulse which changes the momentum of that object. what do we call the quantity force x (times) distance, and what quantity can this change?

A particle, whose acceleration is constant, is moving in the negative x direction at a speed of 4.91 m/s, and 12.9 s later the p
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

The particle’s velocity is -16.9 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity of particle in negative x direction= 4.91 m/s

Time = 12.9 s

Final velocity of particle in positive x direction= 7.12 m/s

Before 12.4 sec,

Velocity of particle in negative x direction= 5.32 m/s

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using equation of motion

v = u+at

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

Where, v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

t = time

Put the value into the equation

a=\dfrac{7.12-(-4.91)}{12.9}

a=0.933\ m/s^2

We need to calculate the initial speed of the particle

Using equation of motion again

v=u+at

u=v-at

Put the value into the formula

u=-5.321-0.933\times12.4

u=-16.9\ m/s

Hence, The particle’s velocity is -16.9 m/s.
