A automotive test driver travels due north in a prototype hybrid vehicle at 30 mi/h
for 2 hours. She then reverses her direction and travels due south at 60 mi/h for 1 hour.

What is the average speed of the vehicle?
a) 40 mi/h
b) 50 mi/h
c) zero mi/h
d) 60 mi/h
e) 30 mi/h

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Option A. 40 mi/h

Explanation:

To obtain the average speed of the vehicle, we'll begin by calculating the distance travelled by the vehicle in each case. This is illustrated below:

Case 1:

Speed = 30 mi/h

Time = 2 h

Distance =...?

Speed = Distance /Time

30 = Distance /2

Cross multiply

Distance = 30 × 2

Distance = 60 mi

Case 2:

Speed = 60 mi/h

Time = 1 h

Distance =...?

Speed = Distance /Time

60 = Distance /1

Cross multiply

Distance = 60 × 1

Distance = 60 mi

Finally, we shall determine the average speed of the vehicle as follow:

Total distance travelled = 60 + 60

Total distance travelled = 120 mi

Total time = 2 + 1

Total time = 3 h

Average speed =..?

Average speed = Total Distance travelled /Total time

Average speed = 120/3

Average speed = 40 mi/h

Therefore, the average speed of the vehicle is 40 mi/h

A two-liter bottle of your favorite beverage has just been removed from the trunk of your car. The temperature of the beverage is 35°C, and you always drink your beverage at 10°C. (a) How much heat energy must be removed from your two liters of beverage (in kJ)? (b) You are having a party and need to cool 10 of these two-liter bottles in one-half hour. What rate of heat removal, in kW, is required? (c) Assuming that your refrigerator can accomplish this and that electricity costs 8.5 cents per kW-hr, how much will it cost to cool these 10 bottles (in $)?

Answers

Answer:

a) 209.3 kilojoules must be removed from two liter of beverage, b) A rate of heat removal of 1.163 kilowatts is required to cool down 10 2-liter bottles, c) Cooling 10 2-L bottles during 30 minutes costs 4.9 cents.

Explanation:

a) How much heat energy must be removed from your two liters of beverage?

At first we suppose that the beverage has the mass and specific heat of water and that there are no energy interactions between the bottle and its surroundings.

From the First Law of Thermodynamics and definition of sensible heat, we get that amount of removed heat ([tex]Q[/tex]), measured in kilojoules, is represented by the following formula:

[tex]Q = \rho \cdot V\cdot c\cdot (T_{o}-T_{f})[/tex] (Eq. 1)

Where:

[tex]\rho[/tex] - Density of the beverage, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

[tex]V[/tex] - Volume of the bottle, measured in cubic meters.

[tex]c[/tex] - Specific heat of water, measured in kilojoules per kilogram-Celsius.

[tex]T_{o}[/tex], [tex]T_{f}[/tex] - Initial and final temperatures, measured in Celsius.

If we know that [tex]\rho = 1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}[/tex], [tex]V = 2\times 10^{-3}\,m^{3}[/tex], [tex]c = 4.186\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}[/tex], [tex]T_{o} = 35\,^{\circ}C[/tex] and [tex]T_{f} = 10\,^{\circ}C[/tex], then:

[tex]Q = \left(1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}\right)\cdot (2\times 10^{-3}\,m^{3})\cdot \left(4.186\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C} \right) \cdot (35\,^{\circ}C-10\,^{\circ}C)[/tex]

[tex]Q = 209.3\,kJ[/tex]

209.3 kilojoules must be removed from two liter of beverage.

b) You are having a party and need to cool 10 of these two-liter bottles in one-half hour. What rate of heat removal, in kW, is required?

The total amount of heat that must be removed from 10 2-L bottles is:

[tex]Q_{T} = 10\cdot (209.3\,kJ)[/tex]

[tex]Q_{T} = 2093\,kJ[/tex]

If we suppose that bottles are cooled at constant rate, then, rate of heat removal is determined by this formula:

[tex]\dot Q = \frac{Q_{T}}{\Delta t}[/tex] (Eq. 2)

Where:

[tex]Q_{T}[/tex] - Total heat, measured in kilojoules.

[tex]\Delta t[/tex] - Time, measured in seconds.

[tex]\dot Q[/tex] - Rate of heat removal, measured in kilowatts.

If we know that [tex]Q_{T} = 2093\,kJ[/tex] and [tex]\Delta t = 1800\,s[/tex], we find that rate of heat removal is:

[tex]\dot Q = \frac{2093\,kJ}{1800\,s}[/tex]

[tex]\dot Q = 1.163\,kW[/tex]

A rate of heat removal of 1.163 kilowatts is required to cool down 10 2-liter bottles.

c) Assuming that your refrigerator can accomplish this and that electricity costs 8.5 cents per kW-hr, how much will it cost to cool these 10 bottles (in $)?

A kilowatt-hour equals 3600 kilojoules. The electricity cost is equal to the  removal heat of 10 bottles ([tex]Q_{T}[/tex]), measured in kilojoules, and unit electricity cost ([tex]c[/tex]), measured in US dollars per kilowatt-hour. That is:

[tex]C = c\cdot Q_{T}[/tex]

If we know that [tex]c = 0.085\,\frac{USD}{kWh}[/tex] and [tex]Q_{T} = 2093\,kJ[/tex], the total cost of cooling 10 bottles is:

[tex]C = \left(0.085\,\frac{USD}{kWh}\right)\cdot \left(2093\,kJ\right)\cdot \left(\frac{1}{3600}\,\frac{kWh}{kJ} \right)[/tex]

[tex]C = 0.049\,USD[/tex]

Cooling 10 2-L bottles during 30 minutes costs 4.9 cents.

A roller coaster at the Six Flags Great America amusement park in Gurnee, Illinois, incorporates some clever design technology and some basic physics. Each vertical loop, instead of being circular, is shaped like a teardrop. The cars ride on the inside of the loop at the top, and the speeds are fast enough to ensure that the cars remain on the track. The biggest loop is 40.0 m high. Suppose the speed at the top is 10.8 m/s and the corresponding centripetal acceleration is 2g. (a) What is the radius of the arc of the teardrop at the top

Answers

Answer:

5.95 m

Explanation:

Given that the biggest loop is 40.0 m high. Suppose the speed at the top is 10.8 m/s and the corresponding centripetal acceleration is 2g

For the car to stick to the loop without falling down, at the top of the ride, the centripetal force must be equal to the weight of the car. That is,

(MV^2) / r = mg

V^2/ r = centripetal acceleration which is equal to 2g

2 × 9.8 = 10.8^2 / r

r = 116.64 /19.6

r = 5.95 m

Explanation:

Here is the complete question

In deriving the axial electric field for the ring-shaped charge distribution and the electric field from a long line of charge, the component perpendicular to the resulting field is zero because of what physical property? Answer a)integration b)superposition c)only net charge is important d)symmetry e) positive and negative charges cancel

Solution

The perpendicular components of the resulting electric field is zero because of symmetry since the charge is evenly distributed around the ring or line of charge. At one point, there is an electric field dE due to a small charge element dq and a corresponding electric field dE' due to a small charge element dq' opposite to dq.

Since the charges are symmetrical about the center, the horizontal (or perpendicular) components of the electric fields would cancel out causing the horizontal component of the resulting electric field to be zero.

So, the perpendicular component of the resulting electric field is zero due to symmetry.

Lien is pushing a box across a table. She used a force of 100 N to get the box moving. Which force did she overcome
to get the box moving?
O the downward force of gravity on the box
O the upward force of the table on the box
the reaction force on the box
O the push force on the box

Answers

Answer:

the reaction force on the box

Explanation:

In order to push or pull an object, an external force is needed to overcome the weight of that object. This force is called ACTION FORCE. However, according to 3rd law of Newton, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, an opposite force counters the object in an opposite direction. This force is called REACTION FORCE.

According to this question, Lien is pushing a box across a table. She used a force of 100 N to get the box moving. This means that she had to overcome an opposite force called REACTION FORCE, with an ACTION FORCE of 100N

A single-slit diffraction pattern is formed on a distant screen. Assuming the angles involved are small, by what factor will the width of the central bright spot on the screen change if the slit width is doubled? A single-slit diffraction pattern is formed on a distant screen. Assuming the angles involved are small, by what factor will the width of the central bright spot on the screen change if the slit width is doubled? It will be cut in half. It will double. It will become eight times as large. It will be cut to one-quarter its original size. It will become four times as large.

Answers

Answer:

It will be cut in half

Explanation:

The diffraction of a slit is given by the formula

a sin θ = m where

a = width of the slit,

λ = wavelength and

m = integer that determines the order of diffraction.

Next we divide both sides by a, we have

sin θ = m λ / a

Also, recall that

a’ = 2 a

Then we substitute in the previous equation

2asin θ' = m λ, if divide by 2a, we have

sin θ' = (m λ / 2a).

Now again, from the first equation, we said that sin θ = m λ / a, so we substitute

sin θ ’= sin θ / 2

Then we use trigonometry to find the width, we say

tan θ = y / L

Since the angle is small, we then have

tan θ = sin θ / cos θ

tan θ = sin θ, this then means that

sin θ = y / L

we will then substitute

y’ / L = y/L 1/2

y' = y / 2

this means that when the slit width is doubled the pattern width will then be halved

A father fashions a swing for his kids out of a long rope that he fastens to the limb of a tall tree. As one of the kids swings from this rope that is 7.00 m long his tangential speed at the bottom of the swing is 8.65 m/s. What is his angular speed in rad/s

Answers

Answer:

1.236 rad/s

Explanation:

From the question above,

v = ωr................ Equation 1

Where v = tangental speed, ω = angular speed, r = radius = length of the rope.

Make ω the subject of the equation

ω = v/r.............. Equation 2

Given: v = 8.65 m/s, r = 7.00 m

Substitute these values into equation 2

ω = 8.65/7

ω = 1.236 rad/s

Hence the angular speed is 1.236 rad/s

An airplane has a maximum airspeed velocity of 140 mph South. If the wind is 60 mph West, what is the resultant velocity (groundspeed) and direction of the airplane?

Answers

Answer:

R∠          is  152,3 ∠ 246,8

Explanation:

We need to add (vectorially)  these two velocities. We can choose the coordinates system just that speed of the airplane is the negative part of the y-axis, and negative region of the x-axis, for wind speed, according to

this, the module of the resultant velocity R is:

R =√ (60)² + (140)²

R = √( 3600) + ( 19600)

R =√ 23200

R = 152,315 mph

The tangent of the angle (α )  between R and the y-axis is:

tan α = 60/140

tan α = 0,4286

From tangent tables, we get arctan 0.4286  

α = 23,2⁰

Then R∠    is  152,3 ∠ 246,8

Answer:

R∠          is  152,3 ∠ 246,8
