Sandy is on a road trip. She leaves at 8:00 AM. It takes her 2 hours to drive 200 kilometers. She stops at a rest stop for half

an hour. Then, she drives for 100 more kilometers, which takes her an hour and a half. What is Sandy's average velocity?

The average velocity of Sandy is given by the total distance covered S divided by the total time taken t:
$v= \frac{S}{t}$

The total distance covered is
$S=200 km+0+100 km=300 km$
while the total time taken is 2 hours + half an hour (for the rest) + 1 hour and half, so
$t=2h+0.5h+1.5 h=4 h$
Therefore, the average velocity is
$v= \frac{S}{t}= \frac{300 km}{4 h}=75 km/h$

Answer:

0.0984

Explanation:

From the first diagram attached below; a free flow diagram shows the interpretation of this question which will be used to solve this question.

From the diagram, the horizontal component of the force is:

$F_X = F_{cos \ \theta}$

Replacing 42° for θ and 87.0° for $F$

$F_X =87.0 \ N \ *cos \ 42 ^\circ$

$F_X =64.65 \ N$

On the other hand, the vertical component is ;

$F_Y = Fsin \ \theta$

Replacing 42° for θ and 87.0° for $F$

$F_Y =87.0 \ N \ *sin \ 42 ^\circ$

$F_Y =58.21 \ N$

However, resolving the vector, let A be the be the component of the mutually perpendicular directions.

The magnitude of the two components is shown in the second attached diagram below and is now be written as A cos θ and A sin θ

The expression for the frictional force is expressed as follows:

$f = \mu \ N$

Where;

$\mu$ is said to be the coefficient of the friction

N = the normal force

Similarly the normal reaction (N) = mg - F sin θ

Replacing $F_Y \ for \ F_{sin \ \theta}$ . The normal reaction can now be:

$N = mg \ - \ F_Y$

By balancing the forces, the horizontal component of the force equals to frictional force.

The horizontal component of the force is given as follows:

$F_X = \mu \ ( mg - \ F_Y)$

Making $\mu$ the subject of the formular in the above equation; we have the following:

$\mu \ = \ \frac{F_X}{mg - F_Y}$

Replacing the following values: i.e

$F_X \ = \ 64.65 \ N$

m = 73 Kh

g = 9.8 m/s²

$F_Y = \ 58.21 N$

Then:

$\mu \ = \ \frac{64.65 N}{(73.0 kg)(9.8m/s^2) - (58.21 \ N)}$

$\mu = 0.0984$

Thus, the coefficient of friction is = 0.0984

A 5 kg block moves with a constant speed of 10 ms to the right on a smooth surface where frictional forces are considered to be

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

Work done, W = 19.6 J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the block, m = 5 kg

Speed of the block, v = 10 m/s

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the rough section is 0.2

Distance covered by the block, d = 2 m

As the block passes through the rough part, some of the energy gets lost and this energy is equal to the work done by the kinetic energy.

$W=\mu_kmgd$

$W=0.2\times 5\times 9.8\times 2$

W = 19.6 J

So, the change in the kinetic energy of the block as it passes through the rough section is 19.6 J. Hence, this is the required solution.

Two point charges of magnitudes +5.00 μC, and +7.00 μC are placed along the x-axis at x = 0 cm and x = 100 cm, respectively. Whe

joja [24]

Answer:

45.8 cm

Explanation:

To solve this, we will use the formula

5 / x² = 7/(1 - x)²

5 / x² = 7 / (1 - 2x + x²)

5 / 7 = x² / (1 - 2x + x²)

x = 0.5 * (√(35) - 5) meters

x = 0.5 * (5.916 - 5)

x = 0.5 * (0.916)

x = 0.458 or x = 45.8

an airplane releases a ball as it flies parallel to the ground at a height of 235m. if the ball lands on the ground exactly at 2

Oksanka [162]

<span>When the question says the ball lands a distance of 235 meters from the release point, we can assume this means the horizontal distance is 235 meters. Let's calculate the time for the ball to fall 235 meters to the ground. y = (1/2)gt^2 t^2 = 2y / g t = sqrt{ 2y / g } t = sqrt{ (2) (235 m) / (9.81 m/s^2) } t = 6.9217 s We can use the time t to find the horizontal speed. v = d / t v = 235 m / 6.9217 s v = 33.95 m/s Since the horizontal speed is the speed of the plane, the speed of the plane is 33.95 m/s</span>

The circuit in Fig. P4.23 utilizes three identical diodes having IS = 10−14 A. Find the value of the current I required to obtai

Sliva [168]

Answer:

$v = \frac{2 V}{3}= 0.667 v$

Since we have identical diodes we can use the equation:

$I_D =I= I_S e^{\frac{V_D}{V_T}}$

And replacing we have: $I = 10^{-14} A e^{\frac{0.667}{0.025}}= 3.86x10^{-3} A = 3.86 mA$

Since we know that 1 mA is drawn away from the output then the real value for I would be

$I_D = I = 3.86 mA -1 mA= 2.86 mA$

And for this case the value for $v_D$ would be:

$V_D = V_T ln (\frac{I_D}{I_T})= 0.025 ln (\frac{0.0029}{10^{-14}})= 0.660 V$

And the output votage on this case would be:

$V = 3 V_D = 3 *0.660 V = 1.98 V$

And the net change in the output voltage would be:

$\Delta V = |2 v-1.98 V| = |0.02 V |= 20 m V$

Explanation:

For this case we have the figure attached illustrating the problem

We know that the equation for the current in a diode id given by:

$I_D = I_s [e^{\frac{V_D}{V_T}} -1] \approx I_S e^{\frac{V_D}{V_T}}$

For this case the voltage across the 3 diode in series needs to be 2 V, and we can find the voltage on each diode $v_1 + v_2 + v_3= 2$ and each voltage is the same v for each diode, so then:

$v = \frac{2 V}{3}= 0.667 v$

Since we have identical diodes we can use the equation:

$I_D =I= I_S e^{\frac{V_D}{V_T}}$

And replacing we have:

$I = 10^{-14} A e^{\frac{0.667}{0.025}}= 3.86x10^{-3} A = 3.86 mA$

Since we know that 1 mA is drawn away from the output then the real value for I would be

$I_D = I = 3.86 mA -1 mA= 2.86 mA$

And for this case the value for $v_D$ would be:

$V_D = V_T ln (\frac{I_D}{I_T})= 0.025 ln (\frac{0.0029}{10^{-14}})= 0.660 V$

And the output votage on this case would be:

$V = 3 V_D = 3 *0.660 V = 1.98 V$

And the net change in the output voltage would be:

$\Delta V = |2 v-1.98 V| = |0.02 V |= 20 m V$
