Average speed = total distance / time

1) Distance from A to B

Distance = velocity * time  = V1 * t1 = 5.10 t1

2) Distance from B to A

Distance = velocity * time  = V2*t 2 = 2.75 t2

Distance from A to B = distance from B to A => 5.10t1 = 2.75t2

=> t2 = 5.10t1 / 2.75

3) Average speed = total distance / total time =

total distance = 2 * 5.10 t1 = 10.20 t1

Average speed = [10.20 t1] / [t1 + 5.10 t1 / 2.75]

As you see t1 is factor for the three terms, so you can simplify it

=> Average speed = [10.20 ] / [1 + 5.10/2.75] = 3.57 m/s

Answer: 3.57 m/s

Flying against the wind, an airplane travels 2670 km in 3 hours. Flying with the wind, the same plane travels 11,070 km in 9 hou
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

speed of plane in still air = 1060 km/h

speed of wind = 170 km/h

Explanation:

Let teh speed of plane in still air is vp and the speed of air is va.

Irt travels 2670 km in 3 hours against the wind

So,

vp - va = 2670 / 3 = 890 km/h ..... (1)

It travels 11070 km in 9 hours along the wind.

vp + va = 11070 / 9 = 1230 km/h .... (2)

Adding both the equations

2 vp = 2120

vp = 1060 km/h

and va = 1230 - vp = 1230 - 1060 = 170 km/h

Match these terms with the correct examples.
posledela
1. liquid solution to a. oceans
2. gaseous solution to b. clouds
Not sure about 3 and 4.
3 might be oxygen but I think that's 5. element.

Hope this helps, not sure about water and air though.

Heather and Matthew take 45 s to walk eastward along a straight road to a store 72 m away. What is their average velocity?
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

v = 1.6 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance, d = 72 m

Time taken, t = 45 s

We need to find their average velocity. Average velocity of an object is given by total distance divided by total time taken.

v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{72\ m}{45\ s}\\\\v=1.6\ m/s

So, their average velocity is 1.6 m/s.

The experimenter fom the video rotates on his stool, this time holding his empty hands in his lap. You stand on a desk above him
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

The experimenter is rotating on his stool with angular velocity ω ( suppose )

His moment of inertia is I say

We are applying no torque from outside . therefore , the angular momentum will remain the same

Thus angular momentum L = I ω = constant

Thus we can say I₁ ω₁ = I₂ω₂ = constant

here I₁ is the initial moment of inertia and ω₁ is the initial angular velocity

Similarly I₂ is the final moment of inertia and ω₂ is the final angular velocity

When a been bag is dropped on his lap , his moment of inertia increases due to increase in mass

In the above equation, when moment of inertia increases , the angular velocity decreases . So its motion of rotation will decrease .

A bullet with a mass of 0.1 kg is travelling at
mel-nik [20]

The block with the bullet lodged in the block is now travelling at 2.133 m/s.

<h3>What is momentum conservation principle?</h3>

When there is no external force acting on the system, the momentum remains conserved.

For inelastic collision, after collision both objects travel with common speed.

m1u1 + m2u2 =(m1 +m2)v

Substitute initial velocity of bullet u1 =320 m/s , initial velocity of block u2 =0, mass of bullet m1 = 0.1 kg and mass of block m2 = 14.9 kg.

Solve for the final velocity of bullet,

0.1 x 320 + 14.9 x 0 = (0.1 +14.9) x v

v = 2.133 m/s

Thus, the  block with the bullet lodged in block now travelling at 2.133 m/s.
