Answer:

i. Cyclist A travelled 15 km 1 h cyclist A had started his journey from point X

Cyclist B travelled 18 km 1 h cyclist A had started his journey from point X

ii. cyclist B overtake cyclist A 6 km from the same starting point X.

Explanation:

From the question,

- Cyclist A and B cycled at an average speed of 15 km/h and 20 km/h respectively.

- Cyclist B started his journey 6 mins after cyclist A had started.

Let the cyclist A time be t.

Then, we can write that

For Cyclist A

Speed = 15 km/h

Time = t mins

For Cyclist B

Speed = 20 km/h

Time = (t - 6) mins

i) To determine the distances travelled by cyclist A and B 1h cyclist A had started his journey,

For Cyclist A

Speed = 15km/h

Time = 1h = 60 mins

From the formula

Speed = Distance / Time

Then,

Distance = Speed × Time

Putting the values into the equation,

Distance = 15km/h × 1h

Distance = 15 km

∴ Cyclist A travelled 15 km 1 h cyclist A had started his journey from point X

For cyclist B

Speed = 20km/h

Time = 1h - 6mins = 60mins - 6mins = 54mins = 54/60 hour = 0.9 h

Also, from

Distance = Speed × Time

Putting the values into the equation

Distance = 20km/h × 0.9h

Distance = 18 km

∴ Cyclist B travelled 18 km 1 h cyclist A had started his journey from point X

ii) To determine the distance cyclist B overtake cyclist A, that is, when the distance covered by cyclist A equals that covered by cyclist B.

First, we will determine the time at which the distances covered by both cyclists were equal.

From

For Cyclist A

Speed = 15 km/h

Time = t hour

Distance = Speed × Time

Distance = 15t km

For Cyclist B

Speed = 20 km/h

Time = (60t - 6) mins = (t - 0.1) hour

Distance = 20 × (t - 0.1) = (20t - 2) km

Equate the distances

15t = 20t - 2

15t - 20t = -2

-5t = -2

5t = 2

t = 2/5

t = 0.4 hour

Hence, cyclist B overtake cyclist A 0.4 hour after cyclist A had started.

For the distance cyclist B overtake cyclist A,

From

Distance = (20t - 2) km

Distance = (20×0.4 - 2) km

Distance = (8 - 2) km

Distance = 6 km

Hence, cyclist B overtake cyclist A 6km from the same starting point X.

A 200-Ω resistor is connected in series with a 10-µF capacitor and a 60-Hz, 120-V (rms) line voltage. If electrical energy costs

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

Cost to leave this circuit connected for 24 hours is $ 3.12.

Explanation:

We know that,

$\mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{c}}=\frac{1}{2 \pi \mathrm{fc}}$

f = frequency (60 Hz)

c= capacitor (10 µF = $10^-6$ )

$\mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{c}}=\text { Capacitive reactance }$

Substitute the given values

$\mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{c}}=\frac{1}{2 \times 3.14 \times 10 \times 10^{-6} \times 60}$

$\mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{c}}=\frac{1}{3.768 \times 10^{-3}}$

$\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{c}}=265.39 \Omega$

Given that, R = 200 Ω

$X^{2}=R^{2}+X c^{2}$

$X^{2}=200^{2}+265.39^{2}$

$X^{2}=40000+70431.85$

$X^{2}=110431.825$

$x=\sqrt{110431.825}$

X = 332.31 Ω

$\text { Current }(I)=\frac{V}{R}$

$\text { Current }(I)=\frac{120}{332.31}$

Current (I) = 0.361 amps

“Real power” is only consumed in the resistor,

$\mathrm{I}^{2} \mathrm{R}=0.361^{2} \times 200$

$\mathrm{I}^{2} \mathrm{R}=0.1303 \times 200$

$\mathrm{I}^{2} \mathrm{R}=26.06 \mathrm{Watts} \sim 26 \mathrm{watts}$

In one hour 26 watt hours are used.

Energy used in 54 hours = 26 × 24 = 624 watt hours

E = 0.624 kilowatt hours

Cost = (5)(0.624) = 3.12

A particle at 9 AM is moving towards the east at 4 ms At 12 noon, it changes its velocity and starts moving towards the north un

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Acceleration is the time rate of change of velocity.

Acceleration and velocity are vectors

If east and north are the positive directions, the east moving vector is reduced to zero and the north moving vector increases from zero to 4 m/s.

There are 3 hours or 10800 seconds between 10 AM and 1 PM

a1 = √((-4)² + 4²) / 10800 = (√32) / 10800 m/s² ≈ 4.2 x 10⁻⁴ m/s²

There are 14400 seconds between 10 AM and 2 PM

The velocity changes are still the same

a2 = √((-4)² + 4²) / 10800 = (√32) / 14400 m/s² ≈ 3.9 x 10⁻⁴ m/s²

A metal sphere of radius 2.0 cm carries an excess charge of 3.0 μC. What is the electric field 6.0 cm from the center of the sph

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The electric field is $E = 7.5 *10^{6} \ N/C$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The radius of the metal sphere is $R = 2.0 \ cm = 0.02 \ m$

The excess charge which the metal sphere carries is $q = 3.0 \mu C = 3.0*10^{-6} \ C$

The distance of the position being to the center is $D = 6.0 \ cm = 0.06 \ m$

The coulomb constant is $k =9*10^{9} \ N \cdot m^2 /C^2$

Generally the electric field is mathematically represented as

$E = \frac{k * q}{D^2}$

substituting values

$E = \frac{9*10^{9} * 30.*10^{-6}}{(0.06)^2}$

$E = 7.5 *10^{6} \ N/C$

Does potential energy increase with temperature?

kogti [31]

-- The potential energy of a 12-lb bowling ball up on the shelf
doesn't have anything to do with the temperature of the ball or
the shelf.

-- The potential energy of a jar full of gas does depend on the
temperature of the gas. The warmer it is, the greater its pressure
is, and the more work it can do if you let it out through a little hole
in the jar. If it gets hot enough, it'll have enough potential energy
to blow the jar to smithereens.
