Answer:

1.056 x 10⁷ lb-ft

Explanation:

v = Speed of the bike = 20 mph

t = time of travel = 2 h

d = distance traveled by cyclist

Distance traveled by cyclist is given as

d = v t

d = (20) (2)

d = 40 miles

We know that, 1 mile = 5280 ft

d = 40 (5280) ft

d = 211200 ft

F = force applied by cyclist = 50 lb

W = work done by cyclist

Work done by cyclist is given as

W = F d

W = (50) (211200)

W = 1.056 x 10⁷ lb-ft

Sophie [7]
I disagree.
Many substances show fluorescence under ULTRAVIOLET light, NOT microwaves. :)

Physicists often measure the momentum of subatomic particles moving near the speed of light in units of MeV/c, where c is the sp
maxonik [38]

Answer:

kg m/s

Explanation:

e = Charge = C

V = Voltage = \dfrac{N}{C}m

c = Speed of light = m/s

Momentum is given by

\dfrac{MeV}{c}=\dfrac{e\times V}{c}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{MeV}{c}=\dfrac{C\times \dfrac{N}{C}\times m}{m/s}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{MeV}{c}=Ns\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{MeV}{c}=kg\times \dfrac{m}{s}\times s\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{MeV}{c}=kg\cdot m/s

The unit of MeV/c in SI fundamental units is kg m/s

A scientist notices that an oil slick floating on water when viewed from above has many different colors reflecting off the surf
Tasya [4]

Answer:

<em>The correct answer is (a) 312.5nm and (b) 125nm</em>

Explanation:

<em>The first step to take is to find The minimum thickness of the slick of the oil</em>

<em>Given that,</em>

<em>(a) tmin  λ/2n </em>

<em>We substitute 750nm ( in air) for λ and 1.20 for n for the expression of  minimum thickness t of the oil slick at that spot</em>

<em>thus,</em>

<em>tmin = (750nm)/2(1.2) = 312.5nm</em>

<em>The minimum thickness of the oil slick at that spot is =312.5nm</em>

<em>(B) we find the minimum thickness t </em>

<em>The minimum thickness of the oil slick at the spot will be calculated by,</em>

<em>tmin = λ/4n</em>

<em>we then 750nm ( in air) for λ and 1.50 for n  in the expression for the minimum thickness of the slick of the oil.</em>

<em>tmin = (750nm)/4 (1.5) = 125nm</em>

<em>Therefore the minimum thickness t will now be = 125nm</em>

A rod 14.0 cm long is uniformly charged and has a total charge of -22.0 μC. Determine the magnitude and direction of the net ele
lesya692 [45]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Length of the rod, l = 14 cm = 0.14 m

Charge on the rod, q=-22\ \mu C=-22\times 10^{-6}\ C

We need to find the magnitude and direction of the net electric field produced by the charged rod at a point 36.0 cm to the right of its center along the axis of the rod, z = 36 cm = 0.36 m

Electric field at the axis of the rod is given by :

E=\dfrac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_o z}

Where

\lambda is the linear charge density of the rod,

\lambda=\dfrac{q}{l}=\dfrac{-22\times 10^{-6}\ C}{0.14\ m}=-0.00015\ C/m

E=\dfrac{-0.00015}{2\pi\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 0.36}

E = -7493170.57 N/C

or

E=-7.49\times 10^6\ N/C

Negative sign shows that the electric field is acting in inwards direction. Hence, this is the required solution.
