Kenneth ran a marathon (26.2 miles) in 5.5 hours.

What was Kenneth's average speed?

52.4/11

Answer: 4.8 mph

By definition, we have that the speed is given by:

v = \frac{d}{t}

Where,

d: distance traveled

t: time to travel said distance

Substituting values we have:

v = \frac{26.2}{5.5}\\v = 4.763636364

Then, rounding the obtained speed we have:

v = 4.8 mph

Answer:

Kenneth's average speed is:

v = 4.8 mph

A piece of wood that floats on water has a mass of 0.0175 kg. A lead weight is tied to the wood, and the apparent mass with the
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Specific gravity is 0.56

Explanation:

We know that

mass of water displaced by the wood is, m1( apparent mass when wood in air and lead is submerged in water) - m2(the apparent mass when wood and lead both are submerged in water)

= 0.0765 - 0.0452 = 0.0313 Kg

So the specific gravity of the wood is, = mass of wood / mass of water displaced by the wood

= 0.0175/0.0313

=0.56

A forklift does 450 J of work to lift a 150 N hot tub. How high is the hot tub lifted? Round your answer to the nearest whole nu
vivado [14]
There are already 2 givens, hence we can do direct substitution to get the answer. To make the process simpler, derive the distance formula from the Work formula.

Work = Force x Distance

Distance = \frac{Work}{Force}


Work is 450J while the force is 150N hot tub

To get the proper units, get the equivalent of Joule to eliminate newton. A joule Is equal to 1 N-m

Distance = \frac{450N-m}{150N}
Distance = 3m

Hence, the hot tub is lifted 3 meters.

A 145-g baseball is thrown so that it acquires a speed of 25 m/s. What was the net work done on the ball to make it reach this s
inysia [295]

When the ball has left your hand and is flying on its own, its kinetic energy is

KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed²)

KE = (1/2) (0.145 kg) (25 m/s)²

KE = (0.0725 kg) (625 m²/s²)

<em>KE = 45.3 Joules</em>

If the baseball doesn't have rocket engines on it, or a hamster inside running on a treadmill that turns a propeller on the outside, then there's only one other place where that kinetic energy could come from:  It MUST have come from the hand that threw the ball.  The hand would have needed to do  <em>45.3 J</em>  of work on the ball before releasing it.

The free-electron density in a copper wire is 8.5×1028 electrons/m3. The electric field in the wire is 0.0520 N/C and the temper
meriva

Answer:

(a) 1.87 x 10⁻⁴ m/s

(b) 0.013V

Explanation:

(a) Drift speed, v_{d} , is the average velocity that a charged particle can have due to an electric field. For a given current, I, the drift velocity is given by;

v_{d} = \frac{I}{qnA}             ----------------(i)

Where;

q = amount of charge

n = free charge density

A = cross-sectional area of the wire

But current density, J, is the electric current per unit cross-section area. This  is also equal to the ratio of the electric field, E, to the resistivity, p, of the material of the wire. i.e

J = \frac{I}{A} = \frac{E}{p}

Equation (i) can then be written as follows;

v_{d} = \frac{J}{qn} = \frac{E}{qnp}

v_{d} = \frac{E}{qnp}      ---------------------(ii)

From the question;

E = 0.0520N/C

p = 1.72 x 10⁻⁸ Ωm

n = 8.5 x 10²⁸ electrons/m³

c = charge on electron = 1.9 x 10⁻¹⁹C

Substitute these values into equation (ii) as follows;

v_{d} = \frac{0.0520}{1.9*10^{-19} * 8.5*10^{28} * 1.72*10^{-8}}

v_{d} = 1.87 x 10⁻⁴ m/s

(b) The potential difference, V, is given by the product of the electric field and the distance, d, between the two points in the wire. i.e

V = E x d        [where d = 25.0cm = 0.25m]

V = 0.0520 x 0.25

V = 0.013V
