Let's say the distance is D. Then the time going is D/10 sec. The time returning is D/20 s. The total time is 3D/20 s, and the total distance is 2D. The average speed for the round trip is (total distance)/(total time). That's (2D) ÷ (3D/20). That's (40D/3D) which is 13-1/3 m/s. (I thought it was going to depend on the distance, but it doesn't.)

Rainbow [258]
Total resistance= 7.75+15.5+21.7=44.95
Current = 15V/44.95=0.334A

A typical student listening attentively to a physics lecture has a heat output of 100 w . how much heat energy does a class of 1
nexus9112 [7]

Since each student emits 100 W, so 170 students will emit:

total heat = 100 W * 170 = 17,000 W

 

Convert minutes to seconds:

time = 50 min * (60 s / min) = 3000 s

 

The energy is therefore:

E = 17,000 W * 3000 s

<span>E = 51 x 10^6 J = 51 MJ</span>

What causes earthquakes,tsunami, and volcanic eruptions to happen certain places and not others
Dafna11 [192]
These are all caused by tectonic plate movements. Some areas of the globe are more susceptible to these disasters because they are on or near a fault line where the Earth’s tectonic plates rub against one another, slip beside and under each other, or collide. The places near fault lines are more likely to see earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic activity.
