Gretchen runs the first 4.0 km of a race at 5.0 m/s. Then a stiff wind comes up, so she runs the last 1.0 km at only 4.0 m/s.
KIM [24]

Answer:

The velocity is v = 4.76 \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The first distance is   d_1  =  4.0 \ km  =  4000 \ m

   The  first speed  is  v_1 =  5.0 \ m/s

    The  second distance is  d_2  =  1.0 \ km  =  1000 \ m

    The  second speed  is  v_2  =  4.0 \ m/s

Generally the time taken for first distance is  

      t_1 =  \frac{d_1 }{v_1 }

        t_1 =  \frac{4000}{5}

       t_1 =  800 \ s

The time taken for second  distance is

           t_1 =  \frac{d_2 }{v_2 }

        t_1 =  \frac{1000}{4}

       t_1 =  250 \ s

The total time is mathematically represented as

     t =  t_1 + t_2

=>   t =  800 + 250

=>    t =  1050 \ s

Generally the constant velocity that would let her finish at the same time is mathematically represented as

      v =  \frac{d_1 + d_2}{t }

=>    v =  \frac{4000 + 1000}{1050 }

=>    v = 4.76 \ m/s

Answer:

If they are metallic spheres  they are connected to earth and a charged body approaches

non- metallic (insulating) spheres in this case are charged by rubbing

Explanation:

For fillers, there are two fundamental methods, depending on the type of material.

If they are metallic spheres, they are connected to earth and a charged body approaches, this induces a charge of opposite sign and of equal magnitude, then it removes the contact to earth and the sphere is charged.

If the non- metallic (insulating) spheres in this case are charged by rubbing with some material or touching with another charged material, in this case the sphere takes half the charge and when separated each sphere has half the charge and with equal sign.

A planar loop consisting of four turns of wire, each of which encloses 200 cm2, is oriented perpendicularly to a magnetic field
spayn [35]

Answer:

0.6A

Explanation:

Area of loop =200cm2 =200 x10 ∧-4m∧2  Change in Magnetic field (B)= 25mT -10mT =15mT time =5ms

From Faraday' s law of induction EMF(E)= change in magnetic field/time

    E= 15mT/5ms

Note, that one weber per second is equivalent to one volt.

= 3V

from Ohm's law I =E/R  

=3/5 =0.6A

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

12) When an object is falling, how does the objects velocity change? what formula do you use?

The speed of a falling object is increased by a value of 9.81 meters per second per second. That is if we throw any body regardless of mass from a considerable height, its speed in the first second will be 9.81[ m/ s] , in the next second will be equal to 19.62 [m/s] in the next will be equal to 29.43 [m/ s].

The formula is:

v=v_{0}+g*t

where:

vo = initial velocity = 0

g = gravity = 9.81[m/s^2]

t = time [s]

13)

what is a falling speed at 6s, 9s, 112s?

v = 0 + (9.81*6) = 58.86[m/s]

v = 0 + (9.81*9) = 88.29 [m/s]

v = 0 + (9*112) = 1098.72 [m/s]

14)

If an object is falling at 65 [m/s]. How long has it been falling ? what is the formula that you use?

The formula is the same:

v=v_{o}+g*t

65 = 0 + 9.81*t

t = 65/9.81

t = 6.62[s]

15)

What formula is used to determine the distance an object is falling ?

y = y_{o}+v_{o}*t + 0.5*9.81*t^{2}

where:

y = distance [m]

yo = initial distance, in most of the cases and depending of the reference point it will be eqaul to zero

vo = initial velocity, if it is free fall, then = 0

t = time [s]

g = gravity = 9.81[m/s^2]

This equation will be reduce to:

y =   0.5*g*t^{2}

16)

using the times given in problem 13. Determine the distance fallen for each.

y = 0.5*9,81*(6)^2 = 176.58 [m]

y = 0.5*9,81*(9)^2 = 397.3 [m]

y = 0.5*9,81*(112)^2 = 61528.3 [m]

17)

If an object has fallen a distance of 87.3 [m]. How long was it falling?

87.3 = 0.5*9.81*t^2

t=\sqrt{\frac{87.3}{0.5*9.81} }\\ t=4.21[s]
