The average speed of the whole travel is equal to <u>400 mph</u>.

Why?

From the statement, we know that whole travel is divided into three parts. For the first part (traveling from New York to Chicago), we have that it was 3.25 hours and the covered distance was half of the total distance (1400mi). For the second part, we have that it was 1 hour (layover time), and the covered no distance. For the third part (traveling from Chicago to Los Angeles), we have that it was 2.75 hours, and it took the other half of the total distance (1400mi).

We can calculate the average speed of the whol travel using the following formula:

$AverageSpeed=\frac{distance_{1}+distance_{2}+distance_{3}}{time_{1}+time{2}+time_{3}}$

Now, substituting and calculating, we have:

$AverageSpeed=\frac{1400mi+0mi+1400mi}{3.25h+1h+2.75h}$

$AverageSpeed=\frac{2800mi}{7h}=400mph$

Hence, we have the average speed of the whole travel is equal to 400 mph.

Have a nice day!

A compact car, mass 660 kg, is moving at 1.00 ✕ 102 km/h toward the east. The driver of the compact car suddenly applies the bra

Maslowich

Answer: $59.43\times 10^3 kg-m/s$

Explanation:

Given

mass of car $m=660 kg$

Initial velocity of car $=102 km/h\approx 28.33 m/s$ towards east

Time taken to stop $t=2.1 s$

Force exerted $F_{avg}=4.8\times 10^3 N$

change in momentum is given by impulse imparted to the car

$Impulse(J)=-F\cdot t$

$J=-4.8\times 10^3\times 2.1$

$J=-59.49\times 10^3 kg-m/s$

negative Sign indicates that impulse is imparted opposite to the direction of motion

magnitude of momentum $J=59.49\times 10^3$

Un alumno menciona que al abrir la ventana de su casa sintió cómo el frío ingresaba a su cuerpo. Menciona cuál es la verdadera r

stepan [7]

Answer:

My believe the answer is

A.) or B.)

Explanation:

Here is why I think A is the answer.

If we use the process of elimination, it would look like this,

a) Porque el aire tiene una temperatura menor que la de su cuerpo; por eso se propaga más rápido.

<em>This makes sense because we all know in winter the weather is very cold and freezing.</em>

b) Porque la temperatura de su cuerpo, siente el aire frio que entra por la ventana.

<em>I feel like this answer is the question, but it could also be an answer, sorry, I'm a little uncertain.</em>

c) Porque el calor de su cuerpo se propaga al medio ambiente, al ser la temperatura del niño mayor que la del aire exterior.

<em>This answer has nothing to do with the question, plus it is very false, our body heat is not enough to overcome the very cold temperature from outside.</em>

d) Porque la temperatura del aire es igual a la temperatura del cuerpo.

<em>This is false because again our body heat is not even compared to the freezing cold temperatures from the winter.</em>

How do you identify short and long term comets

erica [24]

A second important difference between comets coming from the Kuiper Belt and from the Oort cloud is represented by their different characteristic periods.
In fact, short period comets are thought to generate in the Kuiper belt and have rather predictable orbits with short periods (up to 200 years). There are two major families of short period comets: the Jupiter family with periods of less than 20 years and the Halley family with periods form 20 to 200 years. That's short

In a carrom game, a striker weighs three times the mass of the other pieces, the carrom men and the queen, which each have a mas

Mila [183]

Answer:

- The final velocity of the queen is (3/2) of the initial velocity of the striker. That is, (3V/2)

- The final velocity of the striker is (1/2) of the initial velocity of the striker. That is, (V/2)

Hence, the relative velocity of the queen with respect to the striker after collision

= (3V/2) - (V/2)

= V m/s.

Explanation:

This is a conservation of Momentum problem.

Momentum before collision = Momentum after collision.

The mass of the striker = M

Initial Velocity of the striker = V (+x-axis)

Let the final velocity of the striker be u

Mass of the queen = (M/3)

Initial velocity of the queen = 0 (since the queen was initially at rest)

Final velocity of the queen be v

Collision is elastic, So, momentum and kinetic energy are conserved.

Momentum before collision = (M)(V) + 0 = (MV) kgm/s

Momentum after collision = (M)(u) + (M/3)(v) = Mu + (Mv/3)

Momentum before collision = Momentum after collision.

MV = Mu + (Mv/3)

V = u + (v/3)

u = V - (v/3) (eqn 1)

Kinetic energy balance

Kinetic energy before collision = (1/2)(M)(V²) = (MV²/2)

Kinetic energy after collision = (1/2)(M)(u²) + (1/2)(M/3)(v²) = (Mu²/2) + (Mv²/6)

Kinetic energy before collision = Kinetic energy after collision

(MV²/2) = (Mu²/2) + (Mv²/6)

V² = u² + (v²/3) (eqn 2)

Recall eqn 1, u = V - (v/3); eqn 2 becomes

V² = [V - (v/3)]² + (v²/3)

V² = V² - (2Vv/3) + (v²/9) + (v²/3)

(4v²/9) = (2Vv/3)

v² = (2Vv/3) × (9/4)

v² = (3Vv/2)

v = (3V/2)

Hence, the final velocity of the queen is (3/2) of the initial velocity of the striker and is in the same direction.

The final velocity of the striker after collision

= u = V - (v/3) = V - (V/2) = (V/2)

The relative velocity of the queen withrespect to the striker after collision

= (velocity of queen after collision) - (velocity of striker after collision)

= v - u

= (3V/2) - (V/2) = V m/s.

Hope this Helps!!!!
