Answer:

Distance covered by the car, s = 21.56 meters

Explanation:

Given that,

Initially, the car is at rest, u = 0

It reaches a speed, final speed, v = 6.6 m/s

Time, t = 6.5 s

We need to find the distance covered by the car during this time. Firstly, we can find the acceleration of the car using equation of motion as :

$v=u+at$

$6.6=0+a\times 6.5$

$a=1.01\ m/s^2$

Now using third equation of motion to find distance (s) as :

$s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}$

$s=\dfrac{(6.6)^2}{2\times 1.01}$

s = 21.56 meters

So, the distance traveled by the car during 6.5 seconds is 21.56 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

A silver wire 2.6 mm in diameter transfers a charge of 420 Cin 80 min. Silver contains 5.8 x 10^{28} free electrons per cubic me

never [62]

1) Current in the wire: 0.0875 A

The current in the wire is given by:

$I=\frac{Q}{t}$

where

Q is the charge passing a given point in the conductor

t is the time elapsed

In this problem, we have

Q = 420 C is the total charge passing through a given point in a time of

t = 80 min = 4800 s

So, the current is

$I=\frac{420 C}{4800 s}=0.0875 A$

2) Drift velocity of the electrons: $1.78\cdot 10^{-6} m/s$

The drift velocity of the electrons in the wire is given by:

$u = \frac{I}{nAq}$

where

I = 0.0875 A is the current

$n=5.8\cdot 10^{28}$ is the number of free electrons per cubic meter

A is the cross-sectional area

$q=1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C$ is the charge of one electron

The radius of the wire is

$r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{2.6 mm}{2}=1.3 mm=0.0013 m$

So the cross-sectional area is

$A=\pi r^2=\pi (0.0013 m)^2=5.31\cdot 10^{-6} m^2$

So, the drift velocity is

$u = \frac{(0.0875 A)}{(5.8\cdot 10^{28})(5.31\cdot 10^{-6})(1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C)}=1.78\cdot 10^{-6} m/s$

What is the equation describing the motion of a mass on the end of a spring which is stretched 8.8 cm from equilibrium and then

Darya [45]

Answer:

$y = -8.37 cm$

Explanation:

As we know that the equation of SHM is given as

$y = A cos(\omega t)$

here we know that

$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}$

here we have

$T = 0.66 s$

now we have

$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{0.66}$

$\omega = 3\pi$

now we have

$y = (8.8 cm) cos(3\pi t)$

now at t = 2.3 s we have

$y = (8.8 cm) cos(3\pi \times 2.3)$

$y = -8.37 cm$

The loudness of a sound is inversely proportional to the square of your distance from the source of the sound. if your friend is

kirill [66]

Let loudness be L, distance be d, and k be the constant of variation such that the equation that would best represent the given above is,
L = k/(d^2)
For Case 1,
L1 = k/(d1^2)
For Case 2,
L2 = k/((d1/4)^2)
For k to be equal, L1 = 16L2.
Therefore, the loudness at your friend's position is 16 times that of yours.

A helicopter travels west at 80 mph. It is moving above a car traveling on a highway at 80 mph. Given this information, you can

gavmur [86]

Answer:

d. at the same velocity

Explanation:

I will assume the car is also travelling westward because it was stated that the helicopter was moving above the car. In that case, it depends where the observer is. If the observer is in the car, the helicopter would look like it is standing still ( because both objects have the same velocity). If the observer is on the side of the road, both objects would be travelling at the same velocity. Also recall that, velocity is a vector quantity; it is direction-aware. Velocity is the rate at which the position changes but speed is the rate at which object covers distance and it is not direction wise. Hence velocity is the best option.
