The average speed of a greyhound bus from lansing to detroit is 104.5 km/h. on the return trip from detroit to lansing the avera

ge speed is 56.2 km/h on the same road due to heavy traffic. what is the average speed of the bus for the round trip?

The average speed of the bus from Lansing to Detroit is
$v_1 = 104.5 km/h$
while the average speed of the bus from Detroit to Lansing is
$v_2 =56.2 km/h$

The distance covered by the bus in the two trips is the same (the distance between the two cities), therefore, the average speed of the round trip can be calculated as the mean of the two speeds:
$v= \frac{v_1+v_2}{2}= \frac{104.5+56.2}{2}=80.35 km/h$

Four forces act on bolt A as shown; F1 150N, F2 80N, F3 110N and F4 100N. Determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant

netineya [11]

Complete Question

The complete question(reference (chegg)) is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The magnitude of the resultant force is $F = 199.64 \ N$

The direction of the resultant force is $\theta = 4.1075^o$ from the horizontal plane

Explanation:

Generally when resolving force, if the force (F )is moving toward the angle then the resolve force will be $Fcos(\theta )$ while if the force is moving away from the angle then the resolved force is $Fsin (\theta )$

Now from the diagram let resolve the forces to their horizontal component

So

$\sum F_x = 150 cos(30) + 100cos(15) -80sin (20)$

$\sum F_x = 199.128 \ N$

Now resolving these force into their vertical component can be mathematically evaluated as

$\sum F_{y} = 150 sin(30) - 100sin(15) -110 +80 cos(20)$

$\sum F_{y} = 14.30$

Now the resultant force is mathematically evaluated as

$F = \sqrt{F_x^2 + F_y^2}$

substituting values

$F = \sqrt{199.128^2 + 14.3^2}$

$F = 199.64 \ N$

The direction of the resultant force is evaluated as

$\theta = tan^{-1}[\frac{F_y}{F_x} ]$

substituting values

$\theta = tan^{-1}[\frac{ 14.3}{199.128} ]$

$\theta = 4.1075^o$ from the horizontal plane

Which of the following characteristics is representative of receptor-level processing, NOT perceptual-level processing?

Kitty [74]

Answer: The correct answer is : B. transduction

Explanation: Transduction is a process through which DNA is transferred from one bacterium to another through the action of a virus or a viral vector. There are two types of transduction, the generalized and the specialized. Transduction is a tool widely used by molecular biologists.

A thin walled spherical shell is rolling on a surface. What

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

$=\frac{1/3}{5/6} = 0.4$

Explanation:

Moment of inertia of given shell $= \frac{2}{3} MR^2$

where

M represent sphere mass

R -sphere radius

we know linear speed is given as $v = r\omega$

translational $K.E = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 = \frac{1}{2} m(r\omega)^2$

rotational $K.E = \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2 = \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{3} MR^2 \omega^2$

total kinetic energy will be

$K.E = \frac{1}{2} m(r\omega)^2 + \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{3} MR^2 \omega^2$

$K.E =\frac{5}{6} MR^2 \omega^2$

fraction of rotaional to total K.E

$=\frac{1/3}{5/6} = 0.4$
