Answer: $10.42\ m/s$

Explanation:

Given

Usain Bolt ran the race with a length $200\ m$

Time is taken to complete it $t=19.19\ s$

We know, $\text{Distance}=\text{speed}\times \text{time}$

Insert the values

$\Rightarrow 200=v\times 19.19\\\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{200}{19.19}\\\\\Rightarrow v=10.42\ m/s$

So, the speed of Usain Bolt is $10.42\ m/s$

A rock with a mass of 540 g in air is found to have an apparent mass of 342 g when submerged in water. (a) What mass of water is

AleksandrR [38]

(a) 198 g

When the rock is submerged into the water, there are two forces acting on the rock:

- its weight, equal to $W=mg$ (m=mass, g=acceleration of gravity), downward

- the buoyant force, equal to $B=m_w g$ ( $m_w$ =mass of water displaced), upward

So the resultant force, which is the apparent weight of the rock (W'), is

$W'=W-B$

which can be rewritten as

$m'g = mg-m_w g$

where m' is the apparent mass of the rock. Using:

m = 540 g

m' = 342 g

we find the mass of water displaced

$m_w = m-m'=540 g-342 g=198 g$

(b) $1.98\cdot 10^{-4} m^3$

If the rock is completely submerged, the volume of the rock corresponds to the volume of water displaced.

The volume of water displaced is given by

$V_w = \frac{m_w}{\rho_w}$

where

$m_w = 198 g = 0.198 kg$ is the mass of the water displaced

$\rho_w = 1000 kg/m^3$ is the density of the water

Substituting,

$V_w = \frac{0.198}{1000}=1.98\cdot 10^{-4} m^3$

And so this is also the volume of the rock.

(c) $2727 kg/m^3$

The average density of the rock is given by

$\rho = \frac{m}{V}$

where

m = 540 g = 0.540 kg is the mass of the rock

$V=1.98\cdot 10^{-4} m^3$ is its volume

Substituting into the equation, we find

$\rho = \frac{0.540 kg}{1.98\cdot 10^{-4}}=2727 kg/m^3$

Electric field lines always begin at _______ charges (or at infinity) and end at _______ charges (or at infinity). One could als

lesantik [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

By convention, the electric field lines (which are tangent to the direction of the electric field at a given point) always begin at positive charges, and finish at negative charges.

This is a consequence of the convention that states that the electric field has the direction of the trajectory of a positive test charge when released from rest in an electric field.

(As the positive charge would move away from positive charges and would be attracted by negative ones).

So, the combination of answers that is true is b) (positive, negative, positive).
