<h2>Answer:</h2>

His average speed on the return drive is:

                             50 mph

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Let d be the distance from home to the place of his job interview.

Let s be the average speed when he drive to his job interview.

Now, it is given that:

It took Gustavo 5 hours to drive to a job interview.

We know that distance is the product of speed and time.

i.e.

Distance=Speed\times Time

Hence, we have:

d=5s--------(1)

Also,

On the way home, he was able to increase his average speed by 20 mph and make the return drive in only 3 hours.

His average speed back home is: s+20

and his time is: 3 hours

Hence, we have:

d=3(s+20)\\\\i.e.\\\\d=3s+60----------(2)

From equation (1) and equation (2) we have:

5s=3s+60\\\\i.e.\\\\5s-3s=60\\\\2s=60\\\\s=\dfrac{60}{2}\\\\s=30\ mph

Hence, his average speed on the return drive is: s+20

                                                                              = 30+20

                                                                             = 50 mph

Given a force of 10N and an acceleration of 5m/s? What is the mass?
likoan [24]

Answer:

<h3>2kg = mass</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>What is the mass?</h3>

Mass is a body of matter without definite shape.

Use the Newton's second law of motion formula.

Note: \longrightarrow \sf{F=M*A}

<u>Given:</u>

  • Force = 10N
  • Acceleration = 5m/s

First thing you do is divide.

10/5=2

= 2kg (mass)

Therefore, the final answer is 2kg (mass).

I hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions.

L=a+(n-1)d <br><br> solve for n
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

(L-a)/d + 1 = n

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's isolate (n-1), and after that isolate n:

1) subtract a from both sides:  L - a = (n-1)d

2) Divide both sides by d:  (L-a)/d = n-1

3) Add 1 to both sides, to isolate n:            (L-a)/d + 1 = n
