Note that Speed = Distance/Time.

1st trip:
Distance = 30 mi
Time = 30 min = 0.5 h
Speed = 30/0.5 = 60 mi/h

2nd trip:
Distance = 50 mi
Time = 1 hour
Speed = 50 mi/h

3rd trip:
Distance = 30 mi
Time = 30 min = 0.5 h
Speed = 30/0.5 = 60 mi/h

Average speed = (60 + 50 + 60)/3 = 56.7 mph
The closestanswer is 55 mph

Answer: 55 mph

Answer:

part a : <em>The dry unit weight is 0.0616 </em> $lb/in^3$ <em />

part b : <em>The void ratio is 0.77</em>

part c : <em>Degree of Saturation is 0.43</em>

part d : <em>Additional water (in lb) needed to achieve 100% saturation in the soil sample is 0.72 lb</em>

Explanation:

Part a

Dry Unit Weight

The dry unit weight is given as

$\gamma_{d}=\frac{\gamma}{1+\frac{w}{100}}$

Here

$\gamma_d$ is the dry unit weight which is to be calculated
γ is the bulk unit weight given as

$\gamma =weight/Volume \\\gamma= 4 lb / \pi r^2 h\\\gamma= 4 lb / \pi (4/2)^2 \times 4.58\\\gamma= 4 lb / 57.55\\\gamma= 0.069 lb/in^3$

w is the moisture content in percentage, given as 12%

Substituting values

$\gamma_{d}=\frac{\gamma}{1+\frac{w}{100}}\\\gamma_{d}=\frac{0.069}{1+\frac{12}{100}} \\\gamma_{d}=\frac{0.069}{1.12}\\\gamma_{d}=0.0616 lb/in^3$

<em>The dry unit weight is 0.0616 </em> $lb/in^3$ <em />

Part b

Void Ratio

The void ratio is given as

$e=\frac{G_s \gamma_w}{\gamma_d} -1$

Here

e is the void ratio which is to be calculated

$\gamma_d$ is the dry unit weight which is calculated in part a
$\gamma_w$ is the water unit weight which is 62.4 $lb/ft^3$ or 0.04 $lb/in^3$

G is the specific gravity which is given as 2.72

Substituting values

$e=\frac{G_s \gamma_w}{\gamma_d} -1\\e=\frac{2.72 \times 0.04}{0.0616} -1\\e=1.766 -1\\e=0.766$

<em>The void ratio is 0.77</em>

Part c

Degree of Saturation

Degree of Saturation is given as

$S=\frac{G w}{e}$

Here

e is the void ratio which is calculated in part b

G is the specific gravity which is given as 2.72

w is the moisture content in percentage, given as 12% or 0.12 in fraction

Substituting values

$S=\frac{G w}{e}\\S=\frac{2.72 \times .12}{0.766}\\S=0.4261$

<em>Degree of Saturation is 0.43</em>

Part d

Additional Water needed

For this firstly the zero air unit weight with 100% Saturation is calculated and the value is further manipulated accordingly. Zero air unit weight is given as

$\gamma_{zav}=\frac{\gamma_w}{w+\frac{1}{G}}$

Here

$\gamma_{zav}$ is the zero air unit weight which is to be calculated

$\gamma_w$ is the water unit weight which is 62.4 $lb/ft^3$ or 0.04 $lb/in^3$

G is the specific gravity which is given as 2.72

w is the moisture content in percentage, given as 12% or 0.12 in fraction

$\gamma_{zav}=\frac{\gamma_w}{w+\frac{1}{G}}\\\gamma_{zav}=\frac{0.04}{0.12+\frac{1}{2.72}}\\\gamma_{zav}=\frac{0.04}{0.4876}\\\gamma_{zav}=0.08202 lb/in^3\\$

Now as the volume is known, the the overall weight is given as

$weight=\gamma_{zav} \times V\\weight=0.08202 \times 57.55\\weight=4.72 lb$

As weight of initial bulk is already given as 4 lb so additional water required is 0.72 lb.

After a check up, a person now has a far point of 100 cm, but with good near point vision. He needs to wear a new pair of correc

lakkis [162]

Answer:

so his far point according to this pair of glass is 200 cm

Explanation:

power of old pair of corrective glasses is given as

$P = -0.5 dioptre$

now we have

$f = \frac{1}{P}$

$f = -2 m$

$f = -200 cm$

now we know that for normal vision the maximum distance of vision is for infinite distance

so by lens formula we have

$\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{d_o} = \frac{1}{f}$

$\frac{1}{d_i} + 0 = \frac{1}{200}$

$d_i = 200 cm$

so his far point according to this pair of glass is 200 cm

Space debris left from old satellites and their launchers is becoming a hazard to other satellites. (a) Calculate the speed of a

Pie

Answer:

Part a)

$v = 7407.1 m/s$

Part b)

$v_{rel} = 1.05 \times 10^4 m/s$

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that orbital velocity at certain height from the surface of Earth is given as

$v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{R+h}}$

here we know that

$M = 5.98 \times 10^{24} kg$

$R = 6.37 \times 10^6 m$

$h = 900 km = 9.0 \times 10^5 m$

now we have

$v = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(5.98 \times 10^{24})}{6.37 \times 10^6 + 9.0 \times 10^5}}$

$v = 7407.1 m/s$

Part b)

When a loose rivet is moving in same orbit but at 90 degree with the previous orbit path then in that case the relative speed of the rivet with respect to the satellite is given as

$v_{rel} = \sqrt{2} v$

$v_{rel} = 1.05 \times 10^4 m/s$

In an extrasolar planetary system containing a single planet, the parent star is measured to move about its center of mass every

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Orbital Time Period is 24 years

Explanation:

This can be explained by the definition of time period.

Time period can be defined as the time taken by an object to complete one cycle, here, time taken to complete one revolution.

Also, we know that an extra solar planet which is also called as an exo planet is that planet which is outside our solar system and orbits any star other than our sun. The system in consideration is extra solar system with a single planet.

Therefore, the time taken by the parent star to move about its mass center is the orbital time period that is 24 years.
