2 cycleists, 90 miles apart starting riding toward each other at some times one cycles twice as fast as the other if they meet 2

Average speed of the first car= 15 miles/hr

Average speed of the second car= 30 miles/hr

Explanations:

distance= d= 90 miles

Time= 2 hrs

let speed of first cyclist= v

speed of second cyclist= 2v

relative speed = v + 2v= 3v

using relative speed= Total distance/Total time

3v= 90/2

3 v=45

v=15 miles/hr

so speed of first cyclist= 15 miles/hr

speed of second cyclist= 2 (15)= 30 miles/hr

Rina8888 [55]
<span>Well, since it's in the shape of a wheel and the person walks around the edge of it, they must have a centripetal acceleration. Since a=v^2/r you can solve for "v" using 2.20 as your "a" and 59.5 as your "r" (r=half of the diameter).
</span> a=v^2/r 
 v=(a*r)^(1/2)=((2.20)*(59.5))^(1/2)=<span> <span>11.44 m/s.
</span></span><span> After you get "v," plugged that into T=2 pi r/ v. This will give you the 1rev per sec.
</span> T=2 pi r/ v= T=(2)*(pi)*(59.5)/(11.44)= <span> <span>32.68 rev/s
</span></span> Use dimensional analysis to get rev per min (1rev / # sec) times (60 sec/min). 
 (32.68 rev/s)(60 s/min)=<span> <span>1960.74 rev/min

A person travels by car from one city to another with different constant speeds between pair of cities. She drives for 36 min at
Softa [21]

 Change minutes to hrs, divide by 60:
30 min = .50 hrs
45 min = .75 hrs
12 min = .20 hrs
----------------
total + 1.45 hrs, total travel time
:

let a = average speed for the trip
:
Write a dist equation, dist = speed * time
:
80(.5) + 100(.20) + 40(.75) = 1.45a
40 + 20 + 30 = 1.45a
90 = 1.45a
a =
a = 62.069 km/h, for the entire trip
and
90 km is the total distance

What s physics?
Alex777 [14]

The answer is (B. The study of Matter and Energy) but technically you could consider physics all of these as engineering is based on physics and that would be the study of inventions, chemistry and biology were both discovered because of physics, and physics invokes more math than any other subject as it applies math to the entire Universe.

A cylinder with a moving piston expands from an initial volume of 0.250 L against an external pressure of 2.00 atm. The expansio
Step2247 [10]

The final volume of the gas is 144.25 L

Explanation:

For an ideal gas kept at constant pressure, the work done by the gas on the surroundings is given by

W=p\Delta V = p(V_f - V_i)

where

p is the pressure of the gas

V_i is the initial volume

V_f is the final volume

For the gas in the cylinder in this problem,

p = 2.00 atm

V_i = 0.250 L

And we also know the work done,

W = 288 J

So we can solve the equation for V_f, the final volume:

V_f = V_i + \frac{W}{p}=0.250 + \frac{288}{2.00}=144.25 L
