A hiker walks 5.0 kilometers due north for twenty minutes. He turns due west and travels 12 kilometers in 60 more minutes. Then he walks 7.0 kilometers due north in forty minutes. What is the average speed of the hiker when traveling north?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The hikers average speed due north is 0.2 km per minute.

Explanation:

Speed is the ratio of distance moved by a body to the time taken.

i.e speed = [tex]\frac{distance}{time}[/tex]

Since the hiker walks due north and due west, then his average speed due north can be determined by;

Average speed = [tex]\frac{total distance due north}{total time taken}[/tex]

Total distance due north = 5.0 + 7.0

                                  = 12.0 km

Total time taken = 20 + 40

                           = 60 minutes

                           = 1 hour

Average speed due north= [tex]\frac{12}{60}[/tex]

                          = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

                          = 0.2

Average speed due north = 0.2 km/minute

The hikers average speed due north is 0.2 km per minute.

Interference happens when two waves interact between them. We usually use waves with the same wavelength and same phase.

There are two "main" types of interference:

Destructive interference: Happens when the peak of one wave and the trough of the other wave happen in the same place, then when we add these waves, we have a subtraction, and then the amplitude of the resultant wave is smaller than the amplitudes of the original waves (if both initial waves have the same amplitude, then the amplitude of the resultant wave in that position is zero).

Constructive interference: Similar to the previous case, but now the two waves have the peaks or toughs in the same position, then when we add the waves, we have an addition in the amplitude, then the amplitude of the resultant wave will be larger than the amplitudes of the initial waves.

Then if you are looking for constructive interference, you need to look for an option where the peaks of the waves coincide. For example, in the top image we can see, at the top, a wave with an amplitude of 2 units.

And at the bottom a wave with an amplitude of 1 unit.

We also can see that the peaks (and the tough) are in the same place, then we will have constructive interference. Then the amplitude of the resultant wave will be equal to the sum of the amplitudes of the initial waves (2 and 1)

Then the amplitude of the resultant wave is 2 units + 1 unit = 3 units.

If you drop a steel metal ball off a building and it takes 3 seconds to hit
the ground, how tall is the building?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]40\:\mathrm{m}[/tex]

Explanation:

We can use kinematics equation [tex]\Delta y={v_i}^2+\frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex] to solve this problem. Because the metal ball's initial velocity was 0, [tex]{v_i}^2=0[/tex].

Therefore, our equation becomes:

[tex]\Delta y=\frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex] (freefall equation).

[tex]t[/tex] is given as 3 seconds and [tex]a[/tex] is acceleration due to gravity ([tex]9.81\:\mathrm{m/s}[/tex]).

Therefore, our answer is:

[tex]\Delta y = \frac{1}{2}\cdot9.81\cdot3^2=44.145=\fbox{$40\:\mathrm{m}$}[/tex] (one significant figure).

A horizontal pole is attached to the side of a building. There is a pivot P at the wall and a chain is connected from the end of the pole to a point higher up the wall. There is a tension force F in the chain. What is the moment of the force F about the pivot P?

Answers

Answer:

Fscos63

Explanation:

Given that a horizontal pole is attached to the side of a building. There is a pivot P at the wall and a chain is connected from the end of the pole to a point higher up the wall. There is a tension force F in the chain. What is the moment of the force F about the pivot P?

Taking the moment from the pivot point P, that means the moment at point p = 0

Then, if we consider the weight mg of the pole, according to the principle of equilibrium : sum of the upward forces equal to the sum of the downward forces.

Therefore, mg = Fsinø ....... (1)

Also, taking moment at point P

Let the length of the pole = s

The length of the weight of the pole = 1/2 S

Fscosø = mgs/2

The distance s will cancel out

2Fcosø = mg ...... (3)

Substitute mg in equation 1 into equation 3

2fcosø = fsinø

F will cancel out

Tanø = 2

Ø = tan^-1(2)

Ø = 63.4 degree

The moment of force F about pivot point P will be

Moment = force × distance

Moment = Fcos63 × S

Moment = Fscos63

A car battery produces 12 from electric that each produce 2.0 V. What is the minimum number of electric cells in car battery?

Answers

Answer:

6

Explanation:

From the given question, since a total of 12 V was obtained from the battery which is made up of a number of cells with each producing 2.0 V.

Assuming that the cells have a very low internal resistance, then;

minimum number of electric cells in the car battery = [tex]\frac{total voltage from the cells}{individual voltage of the cells}[/tex]

                                          = [tex]\frac{12}{2}[/tex]

                                          = 6

Thus, the minimum number of electric cells in the car battery is 6.

This implies that the addition of 6 cells which has 2.0 V supply in the battery produces a total of 12 V. Provided that the cells have a very low internal resistance.

A student is leaving the lesson and walking to Maths at a speed of 1m/s. He notices that he is late for the lesson and speeds up to 3 m/s. It takes him 4 seconds to speed up. Calculate his acceleration.

Answers

Answer:

Acceleration = 0.5 m/s²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity, u = 1m/s

Final velocity, v = 3m/s

Time, t = 4 seconds

To find acceleration;

In physics, acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time.

This simply means that, acceleration is given by the subtraction of initial velocity from the final velocity all over time.

Hence, if we subtract the initial velocity from the final velocity and divide that by the time, we can calculate an object’s acceleration.

Mathematically, acceleration is given by the equation;

[tex]Acceleration (a) = \frac{final \; velocity - initial \; velocity}{time}[/tex]

[tex]a = \frac{v - u}{t}[/tex]

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Acceleration = (3 - 1)/4

Acceleration = 2/4

Acceleration = 0.5 m/s²

Calculate the specific heat capacity of the liquid. Give the unit.

Please help :)

Answers

Answer:

4200 J/°C/kg

Explanation:

The formula for heat transfer is given by :

Q= m*c*ΔT  where;

Q= heat transferred = 6930 J

m=mass of the liquid = 0.330 kg

c= specific heat capacity=?

ΔT = 25-20 = 5.0°C

Applying the values in the formula as;

Q= m*c*ΔT

6930 = 0.330 * c * 5

6930 = 1.65 c

6930/1.65 = c

4200 = c

c= 4200 J/°C/kg

7. Mac and Tosh are arguing about the track design. Mac claims that the car is moving fastest at point F because it is furthest along the track Tosh disagrees, claiming that the car moves fastest at point F because point F is at the lowest height Who do you agree with? Make a modification of the track design for point F and gather some evidence to support one claim or the other. Then discuss what changes you made, what observations were made, and the reasoning that supports one of the claim of either Mac or Tosh.​

Answers

Answer:

Tosh is correct.Swap the locations of points B and F on the track and gather speed data. If Mac is correct, the speed at F (closer to the start) should be lower. (It will not be, confirming Tosh's claim.)

Explanation:

The total energy of the car is continuously being exchanged between potential energy and kinetic energy as the car moves along the track. Neglecting energy loss due to friction, the kinetic energy will be greatest when the potential energy is least, at the lowest point on the track. As a consequence we agree with Tosh that the speed will be greatest at F because it is the lowest point.

__

If the track were modified to move the lowest point nearer the start, say by interchanging points B and F, then data could be gathered to show whose theory is supported. The evidence needed is the speed of the car at the new location of point F. Tosh's argument is supported if the speed at the new point F is substantially the same.

If there is a difference in air pressure between two locations, what happens?

Answers

Answer:

High in the atmosphere, air pressure decreases. ... A low pressure system has lower pressure at its center than the areas around it. Winds blow towards the low pressure, and the air rises in the atmosphere where they meet. As the air rises, the water vapor within it condenses, forming clouds and often precipitation.

Explanation:

Movement of air caused by temperature or pressure differences is wind. Where there are differences of pressure between two places, a pressure gradient exists, across which air moves: from the high pressure region to the low pressure region. This movement of air, however, does not follow the quickest straight line path hope this helps!
