Sally travels by car from one city to another. She drives for 26.0 min at 83.0 km/h, 52.0 min at 41.0 km/h, and 45.0 min at 60.0

km/h, and she spends 15.0 min eating lunch and buying gas.
What's the average speed (km/h)?
What's the total distance traveled(km)?

The average speed is determined by the following formula:

average speed = [sum of (speed * time for which that speed was traveled)] / total time

average speed = [(83 * 26 + 41 * 52 + 60 * 45 + 0 * 15) / 60] / [(26 + 52 + 45 + 15) / 60]
*note: The division by 60 is to convert minutes to hours. We see that the 60 cancels from the top and bottom of the division

average speed = 50.65 km/hr

The total distance traveled is equivalent to the numerator of the fraction we used in the first part. This is:
Distance = (83 * 26 + 41 * 52 + 60 * 45 + 0 * 15) / 60

Distance = 116.5 kilometers

An applied force of 50 N is used to accelerate an object, that weighs 73 N, to the right across a frictional surface. The object
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

5.38 m/s^2

Explanation:

NET force causing the object to accelerate  =  50 -10 = 40 N

Mass of the object =  73 N / 9.81 m/s^2 = 7.44 kg

F = ma

40 = 7.44 * a         a = 5.38 m/s^2

Which explanation best describes a wave?
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

C. a disturbance that travels through a medium with a transfer of energy and without a transfer of matter

Explanation:

A wave is any disturbance that transfers energy from one location to the other via a substance called medium. It is important to note that a wave only conveys energy and not matter. For example, sound wave is a type of wave that carries sound energy from one place to another via mediums such as water, air etc.

Hence, according to this question, a wave can be described as a disturbance that travels through a medium with a transfer of energy and WITHOUT A TRANSFER OF MATTER.
