A turtle takes 3.5 minutes to walk 18 m toward the south along a deserted highway. A truck driver stops and picks up the turtle.

The driver takes the turtle to a town 1.1 km to the north with an average speed of 12 m/s. What is the magnitude of the average velocity of the turtle for its entire journey?

The average velocity is 3.59 m/s. To determine this, we first calculate the total displacement. The turtle initially walks 18m south and is then carried 1.1 km (or 1100m) north, resulting in a net displacement of 1082m north (1100m - 18m). The time taken includes the duration of walking and the time spent in the truck. The turtle's walking time amounts to 3.5 minutes, equating to 210 seconds. For the truck's travel time, using the formula Time = Distance / Speed, we find the truck time for the 1100m distance at a speed of 12m/s to be approximately 91.67s. Therefore, the total time taken sums to 301.67s. The average velocity, calculated as total displacement divided by total time, thus equals 3.59 m/s to the north.

A 68 kg hiker walks at 5.0 km/h up a 9% slope. The indicated incline is the ratio of the vertical distance and the horizontal di
Softa [3030]

The formula used to calculate power is:

Power = Work / Time

Where Work is defined as Force multiplied by Distance, hence:

Power = Force * Distance / Time

This can also be expressed as:

Power = Force * Velocity<span>


Converting the velocity from km/h to m/s:</span>

Velocity = (5 km / h) (1000 m / km) (1 h / 3600 s)<span>
Velocity = 1.39 m/s 

</span>

The calculated force corresponds to the vertical component of the hiker's weight:

Force = Wy * g = W * sin θ * g

 

To find the angle θ, we utilize the slope, which is defined as:

slope = tan θ = ratio of vertical to horizontal distance

tan θ = 0.09

θ = 5.14˚

Thus, we have Force = 68 kg * sin(5.14˚) * 9.8 m/s²<span>
Force = 666.4 * sin(5.14) = 59.73 N 

</span>

<span>Now, let's compute the power:
<span>Power = 59.73 N * 1.39 m/s = 82.96 W
Given the hiker's efficiency is at 25%, we can find the metabolic power: 
<span>Metabolic Power = 82.96 W / 0.25 = 331.83 watts </span></span></span>

The magnitude of the electrical force acting between a +2.4 × 10–8 C charge and a +1.8 × 10–6 C charge that are separated by 0.0
kicyunya [3294]
To solve this problem, Coulomb's law will be applied as follows:
F = k*q1*q2 / r^2 where:
F indicates the force magnitude between the charges
k is a constant = 9.00 * 10^9 N.m^2/C^2
q1 = <span>+2.4 × 10–8 C
q2 = </span><span>+1.8 × 10–6 C
r represents the distance separating the charges = </span><span>0.008 m

By substituting these values, we derive:
F = (9*10^9)(2.4*10^-8)(1.8*10^-6) / (0.008)^2 = 6.075, which rounds to 6.1 Newtons

A 54 kg man holding a 0.65 kg ball stands on a frozen pond next to a wall. He throws the ball at the wall with a speed of 12.1 m
serg [3582]

Response:

The man's speed is 0.144 m/s

Explanation:

This exemplifies conservation of momentum.

The momentum of the ball prior to being caught must equal the momentum of the man-ball system after catching the ball.

Mass of the ball = 0.65 kg

Mass of the man = 54 kg

Speed of the ball = 12.1 m/s

The momentum of the ball before impact can be calculated as mass multiplied by velocity

= 0.65 x 12.1 = 7.865 kg-m/s

After catching the ball, the momentum of the combined system is

(0.65 + 54)Vf = 54.65Vf

Where Vf denotes their final shared velocity.

Setting the initial momentum equal to the final momentum,

7.865 = 54.65Vf

Vf = 7.865/54.65 = 0.144 m/s

Yuliya22 [3333]
The strength of the electric field is determined by Solution: As the question states, the area of the electrode is given, and the charge, q, equals 50 nC. To compute the electric field strength, we need to first ascertain the surface charge density which is defined as... Thus, the electric field strength above the center of the electrode can be calculated as:
