Answer:

19.2 m/s

Explanation:

From the question,

Velocity = displacement/time = d/t

V = d/t.................................. Equation 1

Average velocity = Total displacement/ total time

Total dispalcement = √(30²+60²) = √4500 = 67.08 m

Total time = 1.5+2 = 3.5 s.

Substitute these value into equation 1

V = 67.08/3.5

V = 19.2 m/s.

Hence the average velocity is 19.2 m/s

Answer:

45930.52N

Explanation:

Net force = (internal pressure - external pressure)× area of window

Net force = (1.02 - 0.910)atm × 2.03m × 2.03m = 0.11atm × 4.1209m^2 = 0.11 × 101325N/m^2 × 4.1209m^2 = 45930.52N

Two charges are placed on the x axis. One of the charges (q1 = +7.7 µC) is at x1 = +3.1 cm and the other (q2 = -19 µC) is at x2

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

a) $E=50.53\times 10^{6}\ N/C$

The direction will be negative direction.

b) $E=268.22\times 10^{6}\ N/C$

The direction will be positive direction.

Explanation:

Given that

q1 = +7.7 µC is at x1 = +3.1 cm

q2 = -19 µC is at x2 = +8.9 cm

We know that electric filed due to a charge given as

$E=K\dfrac{q}{r^2}$

$E_1=K\dfrac{q_1}{r_1^2}$

$E_2=K\dfrac{q_2}{r_2^2}$

Now by putting the va;ues

$E_1=9\times 10^9\times \dfrac{7.7\times 10^{-6}}{0.031^2}\ N/C$

$E_1=72.11\times 10^{6}\ N/C$

$E_2=9\times 10^9\times \dfrac{19\times 10^{-6}}{0.089^2}\ N/C$

$E_2=21.58\times 10^{6}\ N/C$

The net electric field

$E=E_1-E_2$

$E=50.53\times 10^{6}\ N/C$

The direction will be negative direction.

As we know that electric filed line emerge from positive charge and concentrated at negative charge.

Now

distance for charge 1 will become =5.5 - 3.1 = 2.4 cm

distance for charge 2 will become =8.9-5.5 = 3.4 cm

$E_1=9\times 10^9\times \dfrac{7.7\times 10^{-6}}{0.024^2}\ N/C$

$E_1=120.3\times 10^{6}\ N/C$

$E_2=9\times 10^9\times \dfrac{19\times 10^{-6}}{0.034^2}\ N/C$

$E_2=147.92\times 10^{6}\ N/C$

The net electric field

$E=E_1+E_2$

$E=268.22\times 10^{6}\ N/C$

The direction will be positive direction.

What are the characteristics of Earth’s lithosphere and how does the lithosphere play a role in plate tectonics?

pashok25 [27]

The lithosphere includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and the crust, the outermost layers of Earth's structure. It is bounded by the atmosphere above and the asthenosphere (another part of the upper mantle) below. Although the rocks of the lithosphere are still considered elastic, they are not viscous

Use V=Voe^-t/RC and T=RC to derive T1/2=Tln2

Ksju [112]

Enclosed is some guidance algebra.I find this q a little confusing. It quotes "RC" which usually makes me think of electrical circuits and time constants based on converting calculating RC value and equating that to t for one time constant then 2RC for two time constants etc. The theory being that after 5 time constants - 5RC - a circuit is stable. BUT, this q then goes on to mention HALF LIFE. The curves for both half life and time constant are both exponential, as in the number e to the power of something, but the algebra is slightly different. I hope my algebra is ok.

To increase the amount of electricity produced in the U.S., we could place what on top of all Wal-Mart stores?

Alecsey [184]

That's a great idea ! A wind turbine (windmill) or solar panels
on the roof of every WalMart, but don't stop there. Let K-Mart,
Target, Sears, Macy's, 7-11, McDonald's, and Subway in on it too.

In fact, why not place them on the roof of every house and
apartment building too ?

Just one question: Who's going to pay for them ?
_________________________________________________

The biggest single year-round residential use of energy in the
USA is to heat up and keep a ready supply of hot water. So the
single biggest residential use of energy could be eliminated with
a simple solar water heater on the roof of every house. From my
own personal observation, I know that Israel is there now, but here
in the USA, it's apparently not worth the time, effort, or expense ! ? !
