Distance = (speed) x (time)

The question GIVES us both the speed and the time. Sadly, though, in order to work with them, we need them to both have the same units, but the information we're given has two different units for time:

The speed is in (km per HOUR), but the time is in MINUTES. We'll have to change one or the other before we can multiply them.

Well, 5.0 minutes is (5/60) = 1/12 of an hour. We can use that.

Distance = (36 km/hr) x (1/12 hour)

Distance = (36/12) (km-hr/hr)

Distance = 3 km .

= = = = = = = = = =

There's a slightly different way to handle it. If the problem was more complicated, this way would actually turn out to be a better way, and you'd have LESS chance of making a mistake if you did it this way:

Distance = (36 km/hr) x (5.0 min)

Distance = (36 x 5) km - min / hr

Distance = 180 km · min / hr

This is a correct answer, but the unit is awkward. We can change the unit at THIS point in our calculation. All we have to do is multiply the answer by ' 1 ' !

We'll find a fraction that has the same number on top or bottom, but in different units, and we'll multiply our answer by this fraction. It won't CHANGE our answer because we're only multiplying it by ' 1 '; but If we're clever about how we build the fraction, it can solve the problem of the units for us.

The fraction to use is . . . (1 hour / 60 minutes) .

The top and the bottom are the same quantity, so the value of the fraction is ' 1 ', and we can multiply our answer by it without changing the answer. But watch what it does to our units:

Distance = (180 km · min / hr) · (1 hr / 60 min)

Distance = (180 · 1 / 60) (km · min · hr / hr · min)

(Do some canceling, and you get ...)

Distance = 3 km

Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. I'll be here until Thursday. don't forget to tip your waiter.

3 kilometers, it is just 5/60 or 1/12 multiplied by 36.

Fill in the blanks to correctly complete the statement. The motion of an object moving with uniform circular motion is always to

Citrus2011 [14]

The sentence can be completed as follows:

The motion of an object moving with uniform circular motion is always tangential to the circle, so the speed of an object moving in a circle is known as tangential speed.

The object moves by uniform circular motion due to the presence of a force (called centripetal force) pointing toward the center of the circle. Due to the presence of this force, the object experiences an acceleration (called centripetal acceleration) that makes the object turning in a circle. This centripetal acceleration changes only the direction of the velocity of the object, not its magnitude, which is called tangential speed and it is constant.

What makes some collisions elastic and others inelastic?

Veseljchak [2.6K]

A perfect elastic collision is defined as one in which there is no loss of kinetic energy in the collision. An inelastic collision is one in which part of the kinetic energy is changed into another form of energy in the collision. Well hope this answers your question :)

A particle with a charge of 3.00 elementary charges moves through a potential difference of 4.50 volts. What is the change in el

ollegr [7]

The answer:
the relationship between elementary charge, potential difference and electrical potential energy is given by
E= qV
E: lectrical potential energy
q: elementary charge
V: potential difference

but we have e=abs val(q)=3
so we have E= qV=3ex4.5V=13.5 eV

the answer is (4)13.5 eV

Батискаф витримує тиск 60 МПа. Чи можна провести дослідження

Elanso [62]

1) Yes

2) $6.34\cdot 10^9 N$

Explanation:

To solve this part, we have to calculate the pressure at the depth of the batyscaphe, and compare it with the maximum pressure that it can withstand.

The pressure exerted by a column of fluid of height h is:

$p=p_0+\rho g h$

where

$p_0 = 101,300 Pa$ is the atmospheric pressure

$\rho$ is the fluid density

$g=10 m/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the column of fluid

Here we have:

$\rho=1030 kg/m^3$ is the sea water density

h = 5440 m is the depth at which the bathyscaphe is located

Therefore, the pressure on it is

$p=101,300+(1030)(10)(5440)=56.1\cdot 10^6 Pa = 56.1 MPa$

Since the maximum pressure it can withstand is 60 MPa, then yes, the bathyscaphe can withstand it.

Here we want to find the force exerted on the bathyscaphe.

The relationship between force and pressure on a surface is:

$p=\frac{F}{A}$

where

p is hte pressure

F is the force

A is the area of the surface

Here we have:

$p=56.1\cdot 10^6 Pa$ is the pressure exerted

The bathyscaphe has a spherical surface of radius

r = 3 m

So its surface is:

$A=4\pi r^2$

Therefore, we can find the force exerted on it by re-arranging the previous equation:

$F=pA=4\pi pr^2 = 4\pi (56.1\cdot 10^6)(3)^2=6.34\cdot 10^9 N$

What is the minimum work needed to push a 950-kg car 710 m up along a 9.0Â° incline? ignore friction?

kakasveta [241]

1.0344645 MJ The minimum energy need is the potential energy of the car at the top of the ramp and is given by mass*gravity*height mass is known, gravity is assumed to be 9.81m/s^2 as it is on earth, and height must be calculated using trigonometry. height=sin(9 degrees)*710m=111meters so potential energy = 950kg*111m*9.81m/s^2=1.0344645 MJ Using the law of the conservation of energy we can assume that the energy expended to push the car up the incline was at least the potential energy gained by moving 111m against the pull of gravity.
