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.

Two electric charges are moved so that they are twice as far apart as they had originally been. Is the force they experience fro
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

The force that two particle experience is inversely proportional to the sqare of the distance, this is:

F \  \alpha \  \frac{1}{D^{2}} for a distance D

If we move them so that D is doubled:

\frac{1}{2^{2}.D^{2}  }= \frac{1}{4} \eq  \frac{1}{.D^{2}  } \eq

Then the force they experience is one fourth of the original.

How far did a frog jump if he travels at a rate of 2.1 m/s for 10 seconds?
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

21 m

Explanation:

The motion of the frog is a uniform motion (constant speed), therefore we can find the distance travelled by using

d=vt

where

d is the distance covered

v is the speed

t is the time

The frog in this problem has a speed of

v = 2.1 m/s

and therefore, after t = 10 s, the distance it covered is

d=(2.1)(10)=21 m

How do microwaves use the behavior and characteristics of the electromagnetic wave to function?
serg [7]

Answer:

Radiation moves out of the microwave into waves causing heat.

Explanation:

Inside your microwave oven, electrical energy is transformed into EM energy in the magnetron. When the microwave photons interact with food, food molecules are physically agitated, transforming the EM energy into kinetic energy, or energy of movement   .

What is the main promblem with survey research?
zlopas [31]

Answer:

A major problem in all survey research is that respondents are almost always self-selected. Not everyone who receives a survey is likely to answer it, no matter how many times they are reminded or what incentives are offered.

Explanation:

<em><u>DISADVANTAGES</u></em>

Respondents may not feel encouraged to provide accurate, honest answers.

Respondents may not feel comfortable providing answers that present themselves in a unfavorable manner.

Respondents may not be fully aware of their reasons for any given answer because of lack of memory on the subject, or even boredom.

HAVE A GOOD DAY!
