This is not as simple as it looks.  

His average speed is NOT (10km/hr + 50km/hr)/2 = 30 km/hr.

You have to use the definition of speed:

Speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance).

Let's say the distance up (and down) the hill is 'd' .

Then the time it takes to go up the hill is (d/10) hours.

And the time it takes to come down the hill is (d/50) hours.

Total distance = 2d km

Total time = (d/10) + (d/50) = (5d/50) + (d/50) = 6d/50

Speed = distance/time = 2d/(6d/50) = 100d/6d

<em>Speed = </em>100/6 = <em>16-2/3 km/hr</em>

Suppose you are driving a car around in a circle of radius 212 ft, at a velocity which has the constant magnitude of 43 ft/s. A
Elanso [62]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to dynamic equilibrium. The vertical component of the tension is equivalent to the centripetal Force while the horizontal component of the tension is equivalent to the weight, therefore we will have the two equations,

Tsin\alpha = \frac{mv^2}{r}

Tcos\alpha = mg

Our values are,

v = 43ft/s = 13.11m/s

r = 212ft = 64.62m

Therefore if we divide both equation we have,

tan \alpha = \frac{v^2}{rg}

Replacing,

tan\alpha = \frac{13.11^2}{(64.62)(9.8)}

tan\alpha = 0.2714

\alpha = tan^{-1} (0.2714)

\alpha = 15.18\°

Therefore the angle required is 15.18°

Object A is negatively Charged. object A and Object B attract. Object B and Object C repel. Object C and Object D attract. What
3241004551 [841]

Remember opposites attract and same charges repel each other.

Object A= negatively charged.

Object A and B attract so B must be positively charged.

Object B and C repel so because B is positively charged C must also be positively charged.

Object C and D attract and because C is positively charged, D must be negatively charged.
