(a) The average speed must you have for the second half of the trip to meet your goal is 8 km/h.

(b) The value obtained (8 km/h) is not reasonable for the second half of the distance since the first half is 48km/h.

<h3>What is average velocity?</h3>

Average velocity is defined as the change in position or displacement (∆x) divided by the time intervals (∆t) in which the displacement occurs.

average velocity = total distance / total time

v = (d)/(0.5d/v₁ + 0.5d/v₂)

where;

v is the average velocity
v₁ is the average velocity during the first half
v₂ is the average velocity during the second half

90 km/h = (d) / (0.5d/48 + 0.5d/v₂)

90(0.5d/48 + 0.5d/v₂) = d

0.9375d + 0.5d/v₂ = d

d(0.9375 + 0.5/v₂) = d

0.9375 + 0.5/v₂ = 1

0.5/v₂ = 0.0625

v₂ = 0.5/0.0625

v₂ = 8 km/h

Thus, the average speed must you have for the second half of the trip to meet your goal is 8 km/h.

The value obtained (8 km/h) is not reasonable for the second half of the distance since the first half is 48km/h.

A 10-m-long glider with a mass of 680 kg (including the passengers) is gliding horizontally through the air at 34 m/s when a 60

german

Answer:

34 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of glider with person = 680 kg

v = Velocity of glider with person = 34 m/s

$m_1$ = Mass of glider without person = 680-60 kg

$v_1$ = Gliders speed just after the skydiver lets go

$m_2$ = Mass of person = 60 kg

$v_2$ = Velcotiy of person = 34 m/s

As the linear momentum of the system is conserved

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=mv\\\Rightarrow v_1=\dfrac{mv-m_2v_2}{m_1}\\\Rightarrow v_1=\dfrac{680\times 34-60\times 34}{680-60}\\\Rightarrow v_1=34\ m/s$

The gliders speed just after the skydiver lets go is 34 m/s

Una ola oceánica viaja a aproximadamente 1,97 m / s. Esto es 4 millas por hora. La frecuencia de las ondas es de aproximadamente

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

λ = 28,14 m

Explanation:

To find the wavelength of the wave you use the following formula:

$v=\lambda f$ (1)

v: speed of the wave = 1,97 m/s

λ: wavelength

f: frequency of the wave = 0,07 Hz

You replace the values of v and f in the equation (1) and solve for λ:

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}=\frac{1,97m/s}{0,07Hz}=28,14m$

hence, the wavelength of the wave is 28,14 m

An engine is used to lift a beam weighing 9,800 N up to 145 m. How much work must the engine do to lift this beam? How much work

Arturiano [62]

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of the engine used to lift a beam, W = 9800 N

Distance, d = 145 m

Work done by the engine to lift the beam is given by :

W = F d

$W=9800\ N\times 145\ m\\\\W=1421000\ J\\\\W=1421\ kJ$

Let W' is the work must be done to lift it 290 m. It is given by :

$W'=9800\ N\times 290\ m\\\\W'=2842000\ J\\\\W'=2842\ kJ$

Hence, this is the required solution.
