Answer:

The average velocity is 7.5 km/h

Explanation:

Let's convert minutes to hours so our answer can be given in a common units of km/hour:

12 minutes = 12/60 hours = 0.2 hours

Now we estimate the average velocity calculating the distance travelled over the time it took:

1.5 / 0.2 km/h = 7.5 km/h

Suppose you want to to double a copper wire's resistance. To what temperature, in degrees Celsius, must you raise it if it is or

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

T=280.41 °C

Explanation:

Given that

At T= 24°C Resistance =Ro

Lets take at temperature T resistance is 2Ro

We know that resistance R given as

R= Ro(1+αΔT)

R-Ro=Ro αΔT

For copper wire

α(coefficient of Resistance) = 3.9 x 10⁻³ /°C

Given that at temperature T

R= 2Ro

Now by putting the values

R-Ro=Ro αΔT

2Ro-Ro=Ro αΔT

1 = αΔT

1 = 3.9 x 10⁻³ x ΔT

ΔT = 256.41 °C

T- 24 = 256.41 °C

T=280.41 °C

So the final temperature is 280.41 °C.

Alex, parked by the side of an east-west road, is watching car P, which is moving in a westerly direction. Barbara, driving east

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

$v_{PB} = 130\ km/h$

Explanation:

Since, Alex is at rest. Therefore, the speed measured by him will be the absolute speed of car P. Therefore, taking easterly direction as positive:

$Absolute\ Velocity\ of\ Car\ P = v_{P} = -78\ km/h$

And the absolute velocity of Barbara's Car is given as: $Absolute\ Velocity\ of\ Barbara's\ Car = v_{B} = 52\ km/h$

Now, for the velocity of Car p with respect to the velocity of Barbara's Car can be given s follows:

$Velocity\ of\ Car\ P\ measured\ by\ Barbara = v_{PB} = v_{B}-v_{P}\\\\v_{PB} = 52\ km/h-(-78\ km/h)$

$v_{PB} = 130\ km/h$
