Alex swims at an average speed of 30 m/min. How far does he swim in 5 min 60 seconds?

1 answer:

5 0

He will swim 180m if he stays at a constant rate of 30m/min

Explanation:
First I’m going to use 6 min for the 5min 60s
Then if he swims 30m/min then I’m 6min, 30•6 he’ll swim 180m
Hope this helps!

A very long, uniformly charged cylinder has radius R and linear charge density λ. Find the cylinder's electric field strength ou

mixer [17]

The cylinder's electric field magnitude, at a distance <em>r</em> from the axis of the cylinder (greater than the cylinder's radius), is equal to $E= \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 \cdot r}$

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Matter is the building block of everything that we encounter in our lives. Matter is made of atoms, which are in turn made of tiny particles which are called electrons, protons, and neutrons. The ammount of these 3 elements, and their topological configuration in the atoms, is what determines what a certain element is (like Carbon, Hydrogen, Iron, etc).

In some cases, some elements may lose or gain some electrons. Regarded that this missing or extra electrons are not very high in number, the material doesn't lose any of its properties, however it will always try to get its number of electrons back to normal. This is when we say that an element has a <em>charge</em>, which is a measure of how much electrons a body needs to get back to normal. A body has positive charge if it lacks electrons, and has negative charge if it has extra electrons.

This charge causes the material to have an Electric field, which is a measure of how much does it attract or repel electrons. In the case of our problem, we need to compute exactly that, the Electric field. In our problem, we have an infinitely long cylinder with a linear charge density $\lambda$ , this means that all parts of the cylinder have the same charge, and due to symmetry, the electric field is constant on the angular and longitudinal directions of the cylinder.

This makes easy to apply Gauss' Law, since for a Gaussian curve in the shape of a concentric cylinder (with a higher radius than that of our charged cylinder) we can write:

$\Phi = \frac{\lambda \cdot L}{\epsilon_0}$

Where $\Phi$ is called the Electric flux. Since the electric field is constant for a given distance <em>r</em> from the axis of the cylinder we can write that:

$\Phi = E \cdot 2\pi r \cdot L$

Joining both our expressions we can get that:

$E= \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 \cdot r}$

If the kinetic energy of an electron is 4.1e-18 j, what is the speed of the electron? (you can use the approximate (nonrelativis

arlik [135]

The kinetic energy of the electron is
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
where $m=9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg$ is the mass of the electron and v its speed. Since we know the value of the kinetic energy, $K=4.1 \cdot 10^{-18} J$ , we can find the value of the speed v:
$v= \sqrt{ \frac{2K}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2\cdot 4.1 \cdot 10^{-18}J}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31}kg} } = 3\cdot 10^6 m/s$

A red train travelling at 72 km/h and a green train travelling at 144 km/h are headed toward each

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Collision will occur.

Speed of red train when they collide = 0 m/s.

Speed of green train when they collide = 10 m/s.

Explanation:

Speed of red train = 72 km/h = 20 m/s

Speed of green train = 144 km/h = 40 m/s.

Deceleration of trains = 1 m/s²

For red train:-

Equation of motion v = u + at

u = 20 m/s

v = 0 m/s

a = -1 m/s²

Substituting

0 = 20 - 1 x t

t = 20 s.

Equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

u = 20 m/s

t = 20 s

a = -1 m/s²

Substituting

s = 20 x 20 - 0.5 x 1 x 20² = 200 m

So red train travel 200 m before coming to stop.

For green train:-

Equation of motion v = u + at

u = 40 m/s

v = 0 m/s

a = -1 m/s²

Substituting

0 = 40 - 1 x t

t = 40 s.

Equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

u = 40 m/s

t = 40 s

a = -1 m/s²

Substituting

s = 40 x 40 - 0.5 x 1 x 40² = 800 m

So green train travel 800 m before coming to stop.

Total distance traveled = 800 + 200 = 1000 m>950 m.

So both trains collide.

Distance traveled by green train when red train stops(t=20s)

Equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

u = 40 m/s

t = 20 s

a = -1 m/s²

Substituting

s = 40 x 20 - 0.5 x 1 x 20² = 600 m

Total distance after 20 s = 600 + 200 = 800 m< 950m . So they collide after red train stops.

Speed of red train when they collide = 0 m/s.

Distance traveled by green train when they collide = 950 - 200 = 750 m

Equation of motion v² = u² + 2as

u = 40 m/s

s= 750 m

a = -1 m/s²

Substituting

v² = 40² - 2 x 1 x 750 = 100

v = 10 m/s

Speed of green train when they collide = 10 m/s.

Joe and Max shake hands and say goodbye. Joe walks east 0.40 km to a coffee shop, and Max flags a cab and rides north 3.65 km to

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

3.67 km

Explanation:

Joe distance towards coffee shop is,

$OB=0.40 km$

And the Max distance towards bookstore is,

$OA=3.65 km$

Now the distance between the Joy and Max will be,

By applying pythagorus theorem,

$AB=\sqrt{OB^{2}+OA^{2}}$

Substitute 0.40 km for OB and 3.65 km for OA in the above equation.

$AB=\sqrt{0.40^{2}+3.65^{2}}\\AB=\sqrt{13.4825} \\AB=3.67 km$

Therefore the distance between there destination is 3.67 km.
