A biker goes up hill with a constant speed of 10km/h. Then he goes downhill with a constant speed of 50km/h. What's his average

speed

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>

31) The basic concept of how a simple motor works is explained by which statement?
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

When a wire that carries electrical current is placed in a magnetic field the wire experiences a force.

Explanation:

The electric motor is a device which convert electrical energy into mechanical energy  ie when current carrying conductor is placed in magnetic field it experience a force. Flemings left hand rule explains the direction of the current.

The electric motor works by attraction and repulsion of magnetic field.

So the option d explains basic concept of simple motor ie when when current carrying wire is placed in the magnetic field it experience magnetic repulsive force.

65. The weight of a body when totally immersed in a liquid is 4.2N if he weight of the liquid displaced is 2.5N. Find the weight
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Given, Apparent weight(W₂)=4.2N

          Weight of liquid displaced (u)=2.5N

          Let weight of body in air = W₁

Solution,

             U=W₁-W₂

              W₁=4.2=2.5=6.7N

∴Weight of body in air is 6.7N

The atmosphere of Mars is almost all carbon dioxide and the average surface pressure is 610 Pa (as compared with 101,000 Pa on E
Karolina [17]

Answer:

   z = 3,737 10⁵ m

Explanation:

a) As they indicate that the atmosphere behaves like an ideal gas, we can use the equation

          P V = n R T

          P = (n r / V) T

We replace

         P = (n R / V) T₀ e^{- C z}

b) Let's apply this equation in the points

Lower

        .z = 0

         P₀ = 610 Pa

         P₀ = (nR / V) T₀

Higher.

         P = 10 Pa

          P = (n R / V) T₀ e^{- C z}

We replace

        P = P₀ e^{- C z}

        e^{- C z} = P / P₀

        C z = ln P₀ / P

        z = 1 / C ln P₀ / P

Let's calculate

        z = 1 / 1.1 10⁻⁵ ln (610/10)

        z = 3,737 10⁵ m
