Skylar travels 50 meters N and then goes 30 meters W before coming straight back south 20 meters. What distance did she travel?

lesya [120]

Answer:

$100\ \text{meters}$ .

Explanation:

Distance Skylar traveled North is $50\ \text{meters}$

Then she traveled $30\ \text{meters}$ Westward.

After which she traveled $20\ \text{meters}$ towards the South.

The total distance traveled would be the sum of the distances.

$50+30+20=100\ \text{meters}$

The distance traveled by Skylar was is $100\ \text{meters}$ .

If a thermometer measured the temperature in an oven as 400oF five days in a row when the temperature was actually 397oF, this m

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

It can be said to be reliable although it is not valid

Explanation:

This is because Reliability means an indicator of consistency, A measure should produce similar or the same results consistently if it measures the same quantity. So does the thermometer measures over 5days but it is not valid because it deviates from the real value

When the voltage across a steady resistance is doubled, the current?

natima [27]

I'm actually going ahead in the book (DC Circuits) so this isn't really homework but I figured the tag was appropriate....the name of the chapter is Ohm's Law and Watt's Law.

<span>Problem: Calculate the power dissipated in the load resistor, R, for each of the circuits.Circuit (a): V = 10V; I = 100mA; R = ?; Since I know V and I use formula P = IV: P = IV = (100mA)(10V) = 1 W.</span>

The next question is what I'm not sure about:

Question: What is the power in the circuit (a) above if the voltage is doubled? (Hint: Consider the effect on current).

What I did initially was: P = IV = (100mA)(2V) = 2 W

But then I looked at the answer and it said 4 W, then I looked at the Hint again. Then I remembered in the book early on it said "If the voltage increases across a resistor, current will increase."

So question is: When solving problems I have to increase (or decrease) current (I) every time voltage (V) is increased (decreased) in a problem, right? How about the other way around, when increasing current (I), you need to increase voltage (V). I'm pretty sure that's how they got 4 W, but want to make sure before I head to the next section of the book.

P = IV = (200mA)(2V) = 4 W

A 0.05kg dart is thrown at and sticks into a 0.4 kg block hanging on a string. After the collision the block and dart swing in a

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

v = 1.4 m /s

Explanation:

We shall apply law of conservation of mechanical energy

The kinetic energy of dart and block is converted into potential energy of both dart and block .

1 /2 (m+M) v² = ( m +M) gH

.5 x v² = 9.8 x .1

= v² = 1.96

v = 1.4

v = 1.4 m /s

An object 16.8 cm tall is placed in front of a converging lens. A real image, 46 cm tall, is formed on the other side of the len

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

2.74

Explanation:

Magnification = image distance/object distance

Mag = v/u

Given

v = 46cm

u = 16.8

Magnification = 46/16.8

Magnification = 2.74

Hence the magnification is 2.74
