You drive your car in a straight line at 15 m/s for 10 kilometers, then at 25 m/s for another 10 kilometers.
Vikki [24]

Answer:

A) Average speed = 18.75 m/s

B) More time is spent at 15 m/s than at 25 m/s.

Explanation:

Let the first distance be d1 and the second distance be d2.

We are given;

d1 = 10 km = 10000 m

d2 = 10 km = 10000 m

Speed; v1 = 15 m/s

Speed; v2 = 25 m/s

Now, the formula for distance is; Distance = speed x time

Thus:

d1 = v1 x t1

t1 = d1/v1 = 10000/15 = 666.67 seconds

Also,

d2 = v2 x t2

t2 = d2/v2 = 10000/25 = 400 seconds

Average speed = total distance/total time = (10000 + 10000)/(666.67 + 400) = 18.75 m/s

From earlier, since t1 = 666.67 seconds and t2 = 400 seconds, then;

More time at 15 m/s than at 25 m/s.

You can find people belonging to each of the three consumer groups you researched in the previous task among actors, sportsperso
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

While the popularity of athletic footwear or “sneakers” has been widely assessed within academic literature, few studies to date have examined the influence of a specific sneaker subculture called “Sneakerheads”. Moreover, the brand preferences and brand identities that may exist within the Sneakerhead subculture have not been extensively examined. To address this gap in the research, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 male, self-identified Sneakerheads. The main goal of the research was to explore the Sneakerhead culture, while gaining an understanding of brand preferences, practices, and group identity factors. The Social Identity Theory was employed as the theoretical framework for this research. Qualitative analysis of the interviews revealed the following three topical areas: (1) , (2) , and (3)  Findings regarding the unique culture of Sneakerheads indicate a clear sense of group identity as it relates to motivations, behaviors, and brand identity within the Sneakerhead community. Moreover, the findings of this study further define the lifestyle of a Sneakerhead and shed light on their unique behaviors and practices within the culture.

A wave pulse travels along a stretched string at a speed of 100 cm/s. What will be the speed in cm/s if the string's tension is
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

The new velocity of the string is 100 centimeters per second (1 meter per second).

Explanation:

The speed of a wave through a string (v), in meters per second, is defined by the following formula:

v = \sqrt{\frac{T\cdot L}{m} } (1)

Where:

T - Tension, in newtons.

L - Length of the string, in meters.

m - Mass of the string, in kilograms.

The expression for initial and final speeds of the wave are:

Initial speed

v_{o} = \sqrt{\frac{T_{o}\cdot L_{o}}{m_{o}} } (2)

Final speed

v = \sqrt{\frac{(4\cdot T_{o})\cdot (0.5\cdot L_{o})}{2\cdot m_{o}} }

v = \sqrt{\frac{T_{o}\cdot L_{o}}{m_{o}} } (3)

By (2), we conclude that:

v =v_{o}

If we know that v_{o} = 1\,\frac{m}{s}, then the new speed of the wave in the string is v = 1\,\frac{m}{s}.
