Scotesia swims from the north end to the south end of a 50.0 m pool in 20.0 s. As she begins to make the return trip , Sean, who

has been enthusiastically cheering in the stands fall into the pool and startles Scotesia. Her return trip to the starting position takes 55.0 s. A) What is her average velocity for the first half of the swim? b) What is her average velocity for the second half of the swim? c) What is her average velocity for the roundtrip?

Answer:

a) 2.5m/s

b) 0.91m/s

c) 0m/s

Explanation:

Average velocity can be said to be the ratio of the displacement with respect to time.

Average speed on the other hand is the ratio of distance in relation to time

Thus, to get the average velocity for the first half of the swim

V(average) = displacement of first trip/time taken on the trip

V(average) = 50/20

V(average) = 2.5m/s

Average velocity for the second half of the swim will be calculated in like manner, thus,

V(average) = 50/55

V(average) = 0.91m/s

Average velocity for the round trip will then be

V(average) = 0/75, [50+25]

V(average) = 0m/s

A student decides to spend spring break by driving 50 miles due east, then 50 miles 30 degrees south of east, then 50 miles 30 d

stira [4]

Answer:600 miles, 12

Explanation: The movement described in the question exhibits that of a polygon. Exhibiting a constant distance and angle with only varying direction until the starting point is reached.

The sum of exterior angles of a polygon = 360 degrees.

Exterior angle of a polygon = (360 ÷ number of sides)

Therefore,

Number of sides = 360 ÷ exterior angle

Exterior angle = 30 degrees

Hence,

Number of sides = 360 ÷ 30 = 12 sides

Since distance traveled of 50 miles is the same for each displacement ;

Total displacement = distance traveled * number of sides

Total displacement = 50 * 12 = 600 miles.

Angular and Linear Quantities: A child is riding a merry-go-round that has an instantaneous angular speed of 1.25 rad/s and an a

serious [3.7K]

To solve this problem we will use the kinematic equations of angular motion in relation to those of linear / tangential motion.

We will proceed to find the centripetal acceleration (From the ratio of the radius and angular velocity to the linear velocity) and the tangential acceleration to finally find the total acceleration of the body.

Our data is given as:

$\omega = 1.25 rad/s \rightarrow$ The angular speed

$\alpha = 0.745 rad/s2 \rightarrow$ The angular acceleration

$r = 4.65 m \rightarrow$ The distance

The relation between the linear velocity and angular velocity is

$v = r\omega$

Where,

r = Radius

$\omega =$ Angular velocity

At the same time we have that the centripetal acceleration is

$a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}$

$a_c = \frac{(r\omega)^2}{r}$

$a_c = \frac{r^2\omega^2}{r}$

$a_c = r \omega^2$

$a_c = (4.65 )(1.25 rad/s)^2$

$a_c = 7.265625 m/s^2$

Now the tangential acceleration is given as,

$a_t = \alpha r$

Here,

$\alpha =$ Angular acceleration

r = Radius

$\alpha = (0.745)(4.65)$

$\alpha = 3.46425 m/s^2$

Finally using the properties of the vectors, we will have that the resulting component of the acceleration would be

$|a| = \sqrt{a_c^2+a_t^2}$

$|a| = \sqrt{(7.265625)^2+(3.46425)^2}$

$|a| = 8.049 m/s^2 \approx 8.05 m/s2$

Therefore the correct answer is C.

A square conducting loop 8.4 cm on a side is placed in a uniform B-field so that the plane of the loop is perpendicular to the d

arsen [322]

Answer:

Explanation:

area of square loop A = side²

= 8.4² x 10⁻⁴

A = 70.56 x 10⁻⁴ m²

when it is converted into rectangle , length = 14.7 , width = 2.1

area = length x width

= 14.7 x 2.1 x 10⁻⁴

= 30.87 x 10⁻⁴ m²

Let magnetic field be B

Change in flux = magnetic field x change in area

= B x ( 70.56 x 10⁻⁴ - 30.87 x 10⁻⁴ )

= 39.69 x 10⁻⁴ B

rate of change of flux = change in flux / time taken

= 39.69 x 10⁻⁴ B / 6.5 x 10⁻³

= 6.1 x 10⁻¹ B

emf induced = 6.1 x 10⁻¹ B

6.1 x 10⁻¹ B = 14.7 ( given )

B = 2.41 x 10

= 24.1 T

B ) magnetic flux is decreasing , so it needs to be increased as per Lenz's law . Hence current induced will be anticlockwise so that additional magnetic flux is induced out of the page.

8.4-1 Consider a magnetic field probe consisting of a flat circular loop of wire with radius 10 cm. The probe’s terminals corres

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

B_o = 1.013μT

Explanation:

To find B_o you take into account the formula for the emf:

$\epsilon=-\frac{d\Phi_b}{dt}=-\frac{dBAcos\theta}{dt}=-Acos\theta\frac{dB}{dt}$

where you used that A (area of the loop) is constant, an also the angle between the direction of B and the normal to A.

By applying the derivative you obtain:

$\epsilon=-Acos\theta (2\pi f) B_ocos(2\pi f t+ \alpha)$

when the emf is maximum the angle between B and the normal to A is zero, that is, cosθ = 1 or -1. Furthermore the cos function is 1 or -1. Hence:

$\epsilon=2\pi fAB_o=2\pi (100*10^3Hz)(\pi (0.1m)^2)B_o=19739.20Hzm^2B_o\\\\B_o=\frac{20*10^{-3}V}{19739.20Hzm^2}=1.013*10^{-6}T=1.013\mu T$

hence, B_o = 1.013μT

When the wind kicks up dust and sand, the dust grains are charged. The small grains tend to get a negative charge, and the large

diamong [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Small grains are negatively charged by the wind while big grains is positively charged and remains at the ground . This process creates an electric field due to the presence of oppositely charged particles.

When ever electric field exists it is directed from a positive charge to a negative charge so the here electric field is towards an upwards direction.
