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

Identify and define the four major forms of matter, explain how melting, freezing, boiling,
mina [271]

There are four forms of matter: Solid, Liquid, gas and Plasma and matter undergoes various state changes termed as melting, freezing, boiling, evaporation, condensation, sublimation and deposition.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Solids

A matter that have a definite shape because of its closely packed molecular structure; are known as Solids. It can be identified as they have a definite shape and cannot flow or float without external forces are applied.

Liquids

These have a an internal molecular structure with comparatively more spaces with one another. Liquids have a property to flow and change shape according to the container it is taken.

Gases

The internal molecular structure of gases has the widest range of space among one another and thus they have a floating property because of least density.

Plasma

A complete ionized gas which has equal amount of positively and negatively charged ions. The best example of plasma is a plasma-ball.

<u>Phase transformation among the four forms of matter</u>

<u>Melting</u>

A matter changing from a solid phase to liquid phase is known as melting. Ex: Ice into water

<u>Freezing</u>

A matter changing from liquid to solid is known as freezing.

<u>Boiling</u>

When the liquid is heated to its boiling point, this gets transformed into the state of gas where liquid's pressure equals to the external pressure.

<u>Evaporation</u>

Once the liquid reached the temperature range above the boiling point ad starts converting into vapours or gaseous state.

<u>Condensation</u>

When the gases changes from the gaseous phase to liquid phase, this is called condensation.

<u>Sublimation</u>

The change of solid into gas is called as sublimation.

<u>Deposition</u>

Deposition refers the thermodynamic process where phase transition takes place as the gas solidifies without passing through the liquid phase. An example: the process of converting water vapour from frozen air directly into ice without initially becoming a liquid.

As a space shuttle moves through the dilute ionized gas of Earth's ionosphere, the shuttle's potential is typically changed by -
postnew [5]

Answer:

-2.3 × 10^-9 Coulombs(C).

Explanation:

So, we are given the following data or information or parameters that is going to help us to solve the problem effectively and efficiently;

=> " the shuttle's potential is typically changed by -1.4 V during one revolution. "

=> " Assuming the shuttle is a conducting sphere of radius 15 m".

So, in order to estimate the value for the charge we will be making use of the equation below:

Charge, C =( radius × voltage or potential difference) ÷ Coulomb's law constant.

Note that the value of Coulomb's law constant = 9 x 10^9 Nm^2 / C^2.

So, charge = { 15 × (- 1.4)} / 9 x 10^9 Nm^2 / C^2.

= -2.3 × 10^-9 Coulombs(C).

In a horse cart system when would there be the smallest amount of acceleration
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

well... when the horse stops/rests, or if it is blocked by a surface or anything of solid background.

Explanation:

If it is going up a hill or slope and it just starts to move that would also be considered the smallest amount of acceleration this can go for many things when it just starts to move. but I would go for when it rests amounting to your fitting of the question.

An apple drops from the tree and falls freely. The apple is originally at rest a height H0 above the ground. The ground is cover
zzz [600]

Answer:

Explanation:

The distance travelled in the free fall is H - h  

Since the apple originally started from rest we can use v^2 =  u^2 + 2 x g x s  where v is the final velocity, g the accln due to gravity and s the distance travelled and u is the initial velocity = 0

So the velocity just before it enters the grass is sq rt [2 x g x (H - h)]

Once in the grass, it slows down at a constant rate which means that the acceleration (a) during this period is constant.

So once again using the same formula we have v = O and u = sq rt[2 x g x (H-h)]

so since v^2 = u^2 + 2 x a x s then  

O^2 = 2 x g x (H-h) + 2 x a x h

{O^2 - 2 x g x (H - h)}/(2 x h) = a
