A car is making a 40 mi trip. It travels the first half of the total distance 20.0 mi at 18.00 mph and the last half of the tota

l distance 20.0 mi at 56.00 mph. What is the car’s average speed in mph for the entire second trip?

Answer: The average speed is 27,24 mph (exactly 1008/37 mph)

Explanation:

This is solved using a three rule: We know the speeds and the distances, what we can obtain from it is the time used. It is done like this:

1h--->18mi

X ---->20 mi, then X=20mi*1h/18mi= 10/9 h=1,111 h

1h--->56mi

X ---->20 mi, then X=20mi*1h/56mi= 5/14 h=0,35714 h

Then the average speed is calculated by taking into account that it was traveled 40mi and the time used was 185/126 h=1,468 h and since speed is distance over time we get the answer. Average speed= 40mi/(185/126 h)=1008/37 mph=27,24 mph.

Insect A moves 5.0 m/min and insect B moves
mezya [45]

Answer:

insect B by 12m

Explanation:

30min = 1800s (times by 60)

5m/min x 30min = 150m

9cm/s x 1800s = 16,200cm = 162m

162m - 150m = 12m

A spring suspended vertically is 11.9 cm long. When you suspend a 37 g weight from the spring, at rest, the spring is 21.5 cm lo
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Time period of oscillations is 0.62 s

Explanation:

Due to suspension of weight the change in the length of the spring is given as

\Delta L = L_f - L_i

\Delta L = 21.5 - 11.9 = 9.6 cm

now we know that spring is stretched due to its weight so at equilibrium the force due to weight is counter balanced by the spring force

mg = kx

0.037 (9.81) = k(0.096)

k = 3.78 N/m

Now the period of oscillation of spring is given as

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}

Now plug in all values in it

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{0.037}{3.78}}

T = 0.62 s

Why did the magnitude of the doppler shift increase as the velocity of the sound source increased?
jolli1 [7]
The Doppler effect happens as the result of a source of waves having relative motion to observers somewhere else consider that if something is producing a wave of wavelength W and it is moving relative to the waves then as the waves spread out it seems to chase one side and run away from the other side there for wavelengths produced on the scale it is chasing will be less than W on the side it is running away from the apparent wavelength will be greater than W so using this knowledge if the source of the Waves moves faster than it will chase one of the more closely and run away from the other more quickly there for making the short wavelength even shorter and the long wavelength even longer can turn you in and tell you have gone all over the speed of wave creating boom when dealing with sound this is what causes a sonic boom this lengthening of the long wavelengths and the shortening of the short wavelengths is referred to as being a greater Doppler shift

How many joules of electrical energy is transferred per second by 6V 0.5 A lamp?
Degger [83]

When you ask for "joules per second", you're asking for "watts".
The rate of energy "transfer" is 'power'.  In this case, the light bulb
transfers energy out of the electrical circuit and into the space
around it, in the form of light and heat radiation.

Electrical power = (voltage) x (current) =

                              (6 volts) x (0.5 ampere) =

                                          3 watts  =  3 joules per second.

Ajoba and Prav drive to work. Ajoba drives 45 miles in 2.5 hours. Prav drives 74 km in 1 hour 15 min. Work out the difference be
Serggg [28]

Explanation:

We have,

Ajoba and Prav drive to work. Ajoba drives 45 miles in 2.5 hours. Prav drives 74 km in 1 hour 15 min.

1 mile = 1.6 km

45 miles = 72.42 km

74 miles = 119.0 km

1 hour 15 min means 1.25 hours

Average speed of Ajoba is :

v_1=\dfrac{72.42 }{2.5}=28.96\ km/h

Average speed of Prav,

v_2=\dfrac{119}{1.25}=95.2\ km/h

Difference in average speed of Ajoba and Prav is :

v=v_2-v_1\\\\v=v_2-v_1\\\\v=95.2-28.96\\\\v=66.24\ km/h

So, the difference in average speed of Ajoba and Prav is 66.24 km/h.
