Average speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance) .

Total distance covered = (55 km + 52 km) = 107 km

Time to cover the distance = (2 hrs + 5 hrs) = 7 hrs

Average speed = (107 km) / (7 hrs)

Average speed = 15.29 km/hour

The formula for working out speed is distance ÷ time.

55 km ÷ 2 hours = 27.5 km/h (average speed for first part of journey)

52km ÷ 5 hours = 10.4 km/h (average speed for second part of journey)

(27.5 + 10.4) ÷ 2 = 18.95 km/h (average speed throughout the journey)

We first determine the vertex by using the formula,-b/2a = vertex, in order to get the values for the t-coordinate. That is why we got

v_y=26.5 sin(53)=21.163v_x=26.5 cos(53)=15.948
then

let x=0since you are going to land on a 3m tally=-.5(9.8)t^2+ 21.163*t
y=0=-4.9t+21.163t=4.31
vx*4.31= total distance travelled=68.88m
Then for the first wheel, you have 15.948m=vxdetermine the time when he reaches 23 meters, that is

23/15.948=1.44218 sec

substitute t with1.44218 sec, then determine the height.
h(1.44218)=20.329

Holding onto a tow rope moving parallel to a frictionless ski slope, a 70.1 kg skier is pulled up the slope, which is at an angl

lara [203]

Answer:

given,

mass of the skier = 70.1 Kg

angle with horizontal, θ = 8.6°

magnitude of the force,F = ?

a) Applying newton's second law

$m g sin\theta - F_{rope} = ma$

velocity is constant, a = 0

$m g sin\theta - F_{rope} =0$

$F_{rope} = m g sin\theta$

$F_{rope} = 70.1\times 9.8\times sin 8.6^0$

$F_{rope}= 102.73\ N$

b) now, when acceleration, a = 0.135 m/s²

$F_{rope}-m g sin\theta = ma$

velocity is constant, a = 0.135 m/s₂

$F_{rope} = m g sin\theta+ma$

$F_{rope} = 70.1\times 9.8\times sin 8.6^0+70.1\times 0.135$

$F_{rope}= 112.19\ N$

Explain why the atomic mass of an element is weighted average mass

madreJ [45]

Explanation:

The mass written on the periodic table is an average atomic mass taken from all known isotopes of an element. This average is a weighted average, meaning the isotope's relative abundance changes its impact on the final average. The reason this is done is because there is no set mass for an element.

I Explain why you feel cold when tap or well water in winter. state with reason.

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

We feel cold when tap or well water in winter because heat flows from hot body to cold body.

Explanation:

Our body is in optimal status is a hot body and tap or well water is a cold body. Therefore we feel cold.
