A turtle takes 3.5 minutes to walk 18 m toward the south along a deserted highway. A truck driver stops and picks up the turtle.

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

3.59 m/s

Explanation:

The average velocity is defined as:

$\frac{Total displacement}{Total time}$

The turtle first walks 18m south, and then is taken 1,1Km (or 1100m) north. Thus, the total displacement is 1082m north (1100m north - 18m south).

Now we have to calculate the total time, which will be equal to the sum of the time the turtle walked and the time it was taken by truck.

The walking time is 3.5 minutes. Since 1 minute = 60 seconds, then the walking time is 210 seconds.

To calculate the truck time we use the equation:

Time = $\frac{Distance}{Speed}$

Where the distance the truck travelled is 1100m and the speed of the truck is 12m/s.

Thus,

Truck time= $\frac{1100m}{12m/s}$ = 91.67s

The total time is the sum of the walking time and the truck time.

Total time = 210s + 91.67s = 301.67s.

As mencioned previously, the average velocity is equal to total displacement/ total time, thus:

Average velocity = $\frac{1082m}{301.67s}$ = 3.59 m/s North

Since the average velocity is a vector, it has a magnitude and a direction. In this case the magnitude is 3.59 m/s and the direction is north since the turtle's final displacement is north of where it started.

Calculate the force of gravity between a comet with a mass of 500kg and a small asteroid with a mass of 20kg that is separated b

givi [52]

$▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪ {\huge\mathfrak{Answer}}▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪$

The equivalent gravitational force is ~

$F \approx1.48\times 10 {}^{ - 7} \: \: N$

$\large \boxed{ \mathfrak{Step\:\: By\:\:Step\:\:Explanation}}$

We know that ~

$\huge\boxed{\mathrm{F = \dfrac{ Gm_1m_2}{ r²}}}$

where,

F = gravitational force

$m_1$ = mass of 1st object = 500 kg

$m_2$ = mass of 2nd object = 20kg

G = gravitational constant = $6.674 × {10}^ {-11}$

r = distance between the objects = 2.12 m

Let's calculate the force ~

$F = \dfrac{6.674 \times 10 {}^{ - 11} \times 500 \times 20}{(2.12) {}^{2} }$

$F = \dfrac{6.674 \times 10 {}^{ - 11} \times 10 {}^{4} }{4.4944}$

$F = \dfrac{6.674}{4.4944} \times 10 {}^{ - 7}$

$F =1.484 \times 10 {}^{ - 7} \: \: newtons$

A car is rounding a 100-m-radius curve at 25 m/s.What is the minimum possible coefficient of static friction between the tires a

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The minimum possible coefficient of static friction between the tires and the ground is 0.64.

Explanation:

if the μ is the coefficient of static friction and R is radius of the curve and v is the speed of the car then, one thing we know is that along the curve, the frictional force, f will be equal to the centripedal force, Fc and this relation is :

Fc = f

m×(v^2)/(R) = μ×m×g

(v^2)/(R) = g×μ

μ = (v^2)/(R×g)

= ((25)^2)/((100)×(9.8))

= 0.64

Therefore, the minimum possible coefficient of static friction between the tires and the ground is 0.64.

Photovoltaic cells: a) have become more economical to produce and use over the past 25 years. b) are the most efficient means of

Yanka [14]

Photovoltaic cells are the most efficient means of converting solar energy to electricity. Option b is correct.

A cell is a voltage and current-producing device that consists of a single anode and cathode separated by an electrolyte.

One or more cells can make up a battery. One cell, for example, is one AA battery.

Light intensity on a solar cell is often measured in "suns," with one sun roughly equivalent to 1 kW/m².

Concentrated sunlight improves the ratio of current generated while the device is lighted vs when it is dark, hence enhancing output voltage and efficiency.

Photovoltaic cells are the most efficient means of converting solar energy to electricity.

Hence, option b is correct.
