Two hicers are 13 miles apart and walking toward each other. They meet in 2 hours. Find the rate of each hiker if one hiker walk

s 1.7 mph faster than the other.

Answer:

Explanation:

Let r be the rate of the slower walker in mph

[r + (r + 1.7)](2) = 13

(2r + 1.7)(2) = 13

4r + 3.4 = 13

4r = 9.6

r = 2.4 mph

r + 1.7 = 4.1 mph

Charge q is accelerated starting from rest up to speed v through the potential difference V. What speed will charge q have after

adoni [48]

Answer: v = $1.19 * 10^{6} m/s$

Explanation: q = magnitude of electronic charge = $1.609 * 10^{-19} c$

mass of an electronic charge = $9.10 * 10^{-31} kg$

V= potential difference = 4V

v = velocity of electron

by using the work- energy theorem which states that the kinetic energy of the the electron must equal the work done use in accelerating the electron.

kinetic energy = $\frac{mv^{2} }{2}$ , potential energy = qV

hence, $\frac{mv^{2} }{2} = qV$

$\frac{9.10 *10^{-31} * v^{2} }{2} = 1.609 * 10^{-16} * 4\\\\\\\\9.10*10^{-31} * v^{2} = 2 * 1.609 *10^{-16} * 4\\\\\\9.10 *10^{-31} * v^{2} = 1.287 *10^{-15} \\\\v^{2} = \frac{1.287 *10^{-15} }{9.10 *10^{31} } \\\\v^{2} = 1.414*10^{15} \\\\v = \sqrt{1.414*10^{15} } \\\\v = 1.19 * 10^{6} m/s$

Coal and other fossil fuels are considered to be "nonrenewable" sources of energy. How does the use of nonrenewable fuels affect

nignag [31]

Answer: D Although the total energy remains constant, nonrenewable fuels convert chemical energy into forms that are difficult or impossible to use again.

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics says that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; energy can only be transferred or changed from one form to another.

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

a it is always zero

b 0

c $\eta = -\epsilon _o E$

Explanation:ss

Here the net charge is on the outer surface of the conductor thus this means that the net charge inside the conductor is zero

Generally the charge density of a conductor is dependent on the charge per unit area which implies that the charge density is dependent on the net charge so this means that the charge density inside the conductor is zero

Generally the direction of electric field this from the positive charge to the negative charge so from the question we can deduce that the negative charge is located on the surface of the conductor

So We can mathematically define the charge density on the surface of the electric field as

∮ $E \cdot dA = \frac{-Q}{\epsilon _o}$

Where E is the electric field

$dA$ change in unit area

$-Q$ is the negative charge

$\epsilon _o$ is the permittivity of free space

So

$EA = \frac{-Q}{\epsilon _o }$

$\frac{Q}{A} = -\epsilon _o E$

$\eta = -\epsilon _o E$

Where $\eta$ is the charge density

You are sitting on a merry-go-round of mass 200 kg and radius 2m that is at rest (not spinning). Your mass is 50 kg. Your friend

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

a. $\tau=200J$ b. $\alpha=0.44 \frac{rad}{s^2}$ c. $\alpha=0.33\frac{rad}{s^2}$ d. The angular acceleration when sitting in the middle is larger.

Explanation:

a. The magnitude of the torque is given by $\tau=rF\sin \theta$ , being r the radius, F the force aplied and $\theta$ the angle between the vector force and the vector radius. Since $\theta=90^{\circ}, \, \sin\theta=1$ and so $\tau=rF=2m100N=200Nm=200J$ .

b. Since the relation $\tau=I\alpha$ hols, being I the moment of inertia, the angular acceleration can be calculated by $\alpha=\frac{\tau}{I}$ . Since we have already calculated the torque, all left is calculate the moment of inertia. The moment of inertia of a solid disk rotating about an axis that passes through its center is $I=\frac{1}{2}Mr^2$ , being M the mass of the disk. If we assume that a person has a punctual mass, the moment of inertia of a person would be given by $I_p=m_pr_p^{2}$ , being $m_p$ the mass of the person and $r_p^{2}$ the distance from the person to the center. Given all of this, we have

$\alpha=\frac{\tau}{I}=\frac{\tau}{I_{disk}+I_{person}}=\frac{Fr}{\frac{1}{2}Mr^2+m_pr_p^{2}}=\frac{200Nm}{\frac{1}{2}200kg*4m^2+50kg*1m^2}=\frac{200\frac{kgm^2}{s^2}}{450Nm^2}\approx 0.44\frac{rad}{s^2}$ .

c. Similar equation to b, but changing $r_p=2m$ , so

$alpha=\dfrac{200\frac{kgm^2}{s^2}}{\frac{1}{2}200*4kg\,m^2+50*4 kg\,m^2}=\dfrac{200}{600}\dfrac{1}{s^2}\approx 0.33 \frac{rad}{s^2}$ .

d. The angular acceleration when sitting in the middle is larger because the moment of inertia of the person is smaller, meaning that the person has less inertia to rotate.
