Answer:

Speed = 24 m/s.

No! It doesn't break the speed limit.

Explanation:

The formula we'll be using to find the car's speed:

\boxed{ \mathsf{speed =  \frac{distance}{time} }}

The detectors are placed 1.2 m apart.

==> Distance the car travels = 1.2 m

The car, it says, takes 0.050 s to travel that distance.

==> Time taken by the car to travel 1.2 m = 0.050 s

Using the formula mentioned above, let's calculate the speed of the car:

\sf{speed =  \frac{distance}{time} }

\implies \sf{speed =  \frac{1.2}{0.050} }

<em>On</em><em> </em><em>dividing</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>0</em><em>.</em><em>0</em><em>5</em><em>0</em><em> </em><em>we</em><em> </em><em>obtain</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>4</em><em>.</em>

\implies \sf{speed = 24 \: m/s }

Any car traveling with a speed that is greater than or equal to <u>2</u><u>5</u><u> </u><u>m</u><u>/</u><u>s</u> is breaking the speed limit.

And since the car in our focus is traveling at 24 m/s that is less than 25 m/s, it doesn't break the speed limit.

Spidermans nemesis electro delivers 4kj of electrical energy in half a second how much power does it draw from the mains?
Elodia [21]

Power delivered = (energy delivered) / (time to deliver the energy)

Power delivered = (4,000 J) / (0.5 sec)

Power delivered = 8,000 watts

I'm a little surprised to learn that Electro draws his power from the mains.  This is VERY good news for Spiderman !  It means that Spiderman can always avoid tangling with Electro ... all he has to do is stay farther away from Electro than the length of Electro's extension cord.

But OK.  Let's assume that Electro draws it all from the mains.  Then inevitably, there must be some loss in Electro's conversion process, between the outlet and his fingertips (or wherever he shoots his bolts from).

The efficiency of Electro's internal process is

<em>(power he shoots out) / (power he draws from the mains) </em>.

So, if he delivers energy toward his target at the rate of 8,000 watts, he must draw power from the mains at the rate of

<em>(8,000 watts) / (his internal efficiency) .  </em>

21. Compare and contrast beta particles to the electrons that surround neutral atoms.
stiv31 [10]
Beta particles come from the nucleus. Electrons are found around the nucleus.
Beta particles normally travel very fast out of a nucleus in a straight line. Electrons normally orbit the nucleus of an atom.

They both have the same mass and the same charge.
