Answer:

0.25miles/min

Explanation:

Instantaneous speed of a person or an object is its speed at a particular moment usually at a period of time.

The speedometer of a car reports the instantaneous speed.

It can be mathematically expressed as;

Instantaneous speed = $\frac{distance}{time}$

At 20min the distance covered is 5miles;

Instantaneous speed = $\frac{5 miles }{20mins}$ = 0.25miles/min

The potential energy of a 1.7 x 10-3 kg particle is described by U (x )space equals space minus (17 space J )space cos open squa

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given a particle of mass

M = 1.7 × 10^-3 kg

Given a potential as a function of x

U(x) = -17 J Cos[x/0.35 m]

U(x) = -17 Cos(x/0.35)

Angular frequency at x = 0

Let find the force at x = 0

F = dU/dx

F = -17 × -Sin(x/0.35) / 0.35

F = 48.57 Sin(x/0.35)

At x = 0

Sin(0) =0

Then,

F = 0 N

So, from hooke's law

F = -kx

Then,

0 = -kx

This shows that k = 0

Then, angular frequency can be calculated using

ω = √(k/m)

So, since k = 0 at x = 0

Then,

ω = √0/m

ω = √0

ω = 0 rad/s

So, the angular frequency is 0 rad/s

The current through a 10 ohm resistor connected to a 120 volt power supply is

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:I=12 A

Explanation:

Given

Resistance $R=10 \Omega$

Voltage $V=120 V$

According to ohm's law current through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage applied.

$V\propto I$

$V=IR$

where V=Voltage

I=Current

R=resistance

$I=\frac{V}{R}$

$I=\frac{120}{10}$

$I=12 A$

Design an experimental set up to show that white light is made up of different colours of light

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Issac Newton was the first to use a glass prism to obtain the spectrum of sunlight. He tried to split the colours of the spectrum of white light further by using another similar prism. However, he could not get any more colours. He then placed a second identical prism in an inverted position with respect to the first as shown.

This allowed all the colours of the spectrum to pass through the second prism. He found a beam of white light emerging from the other side of the second prism. This observation gave Newton the idea that the sunlight is made-up of seven colours.

If a t-shirt gun can fire t-shirts with an initial speed of 15 m/s, what is the maximum distance (along horizontal, flat ground)

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

h = 11.47 m

Explanation:

Initial speed pf the t-shirt gun is 15 m/s

We need to find the maximum distance covered by the t-shirt. It is based on the conservation of energy. The maximum distance covered is given by :

$h=\dfrac{u^2}{2g}\\\\h=\dfrac{(15)^2}{2\times 9.8}\\\\h=11.47\ m$

So, it will cover a distance of 11.47 m.
