Answer:

10 km/h

Explanation:

Before calculating the average speed, we need to convert the time taken for the trip from minutes to hours. Since 1 hour cointains 60 minutes, we have:

$1 h: 60 min = t : 30 min\\t=\frac{1 h \cdot 30 min}{60 min}=0.5 h$

Karen's average speed is given by:

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

where

d = 5 km is the distance covered

t = 0.5 h is the time taken for the trip

Substituting into the equation, we find

$v=\frac{5 km}{0.5 h}=10 km/h$

Because of the curvature of the earth, the maximum distance D that you can see from the top of a tall building of height h is es

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

D = 9.9 10⁶ mi

Explanation:

In the exercise they give the expression for maximum viewing distance

D = 2 r h + h²

Ask for this distance for a height of 1100 feet

Let's calculate

D = 2 3960 1100 + 1100²

D = 8.712 10⁶ + 1.21 10⁶

D = 9.92 10⁶ mi

D = 9.9 10⁶ mi

Object 1 of mass m moves with speed v in the positive direction. Object 2 of mass 3 m moves with speed 4 v in the negative x-dir

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

This means that the kinetic energy of second object is 48times that of the first object

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion e.g motion of an accelerating car. Mathematically,

Kinetic energy = 1/2mv² where;

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity of the object

If Object 1 of mass m moves with speed v in the positive direction, its kinetic energy will be expressed as;

K1 = 1/2mv²

For Object 2 of mass 3m moving with speed 4v in the negative x-direction, its kinetic energy can be expressed as;

K2 = 1/2(3m)(4v)²

K2 = 1/2(3m)(16v²)

K2 = (3m)(8v²)

K2 = 24mv²

To compare the kinetic energy of both bodies, we will take the ratio of K2:K1 to have;

K2/K1 = 24mv²/(1/2)mv²

K2/K1 = 24/(1/2)

K2/K1 = 48

K2 = 48K1

This means that the kinetic energy of second object is 48times that of the first object and moving in the negative x direction since the body of mass 3m initially moves in the negative x direction.
