A jet travels 2250 km westward at a speed of 960 km/hr. it then encounters a strong headwind and its speed drops to 805 km/hr fo

For the first part of the trip:
we have velocity = 960 km/hr and distance = 2250 km
velocity = distance / time
time1 = distance / velocity = 2250 / 960 = 2.34375 hours

For the second part of the trip:
we have velocity = 805 km/hr and distance = 1320 km
velocity = distance / time
time2 = distance / velocity = 1320 / 805 = 1.63975 hours

For the total trip:
we have:
total distance covered = 2250 + 1320 = 3570 km
total time taken = 2.34375 + 1.63975 = 3.9835 hours
average velocity = total distance / total time
average velocity = 3570 / 3.9835 = 896.1968 km/hr

A volcano erupts and launches a chunk of hot magma horizontally with a speed of 252 m/s. The magma travels a horizontal distance
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

The value is v_y  =  -48.61 \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The horizontal speed is  u_x  = 252 \  m/s

    The horizontal distance is  d = 1250 \ m

Generally the time taken by the hot magma in air before landing is mathematically represented as

       t = \frac{d}{u_x}

=>    t = \frac{ 1250 }{252}

=>    t = 4.96 \  s

Generally the initial vertical velocity of the magma when it was lunched is  

    u_y = 0 \ m/ s

Then the final velocity of the magma when it hits the ground is mathematically represented s

       - v_y  =  u_y + gt

Here the negative sign mean that the direction of the velocity is towards the negative y -axis

So  

        - v_y  =  48.61 \ m/s

=>     v_y  =  -48.61 \ m/s

Consider two massless springs connected in parallel. Springs 1 and 2 have spring constants k1 and k2 and are connected via a thi
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

k1 + k2

Explanation:

Spring 1 has spring constant k1

Spring 2 has spring constant k2

After being applied by the same force, it is clearly mentioned that spring are extended by the same amount i.e. extension of spring 1 is equal to extension of spring 2.

x1 = x2

Since the force exerted to each spring might be different, let's assume F1 for spring 1 and F2 for spring 2. Hence the equations of spring constant for both springs are

k1 = F1/x -> F1 =k1*x

k2 = F2/x -> F2 =k2*x

While F = F1 + F2

Substitute equation of F1 and F2 into the equation of sum of forces

F = F1 + F2

F = k1*x + k2*x

= x(k1 + k2)

Note that this is applicable because both spring have the same extension of x (I repeat, EXTENTION, not length of the spring)

Considering the general equation of spring forces (Hooke's Law) F = kx,

The effective spring constant for the system is k1 + k2
