Answer:

The average speed was 58 \frac{km}{hr} or 16.11 \frac{m}{sec}

Explanation:

Speed ​​is a physical quantity that expresses the relationship between the space traveled by an object, the time used for it and its direction. Its unit of measurement in the International System (S.I.) is the meter per second \frac{m}{s}.

So:

speed=\frac{distance}{time}

In this case you know:

  • distante= 506 km
  • time=7 hr

Replacing:

speed=\frac{406 km}{7 hr}

Solving:

speed=58 \frac{km}{hr}

Taking into account that 1 km is 1000 m and 1 hour is 60 minutes, which in turn is 60 seconds, the unit conversion is performed:

speed= 58\frac{km}{hr} * 1 000\frac{m}{km} *\frac{1}{60} \frac{hr}{minutes} *\frac{1}{60} \frac{minute}{sec}

speed=16.11 \frac{m}{sec}

<u><em>The average speed was 58 </em></u>\frac{km}{hr}<u><em> or 16.11 </em></u>\frac{m}{sec}<u><em></em></u>

If you are using a wrench to loosen a very stubborn nut, you can make the job easier by using a "cheater pipe." This is a piece
pentagon [3]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

The cheater pipe extends the wrench in  radial direction, providing a larger momentum for the force you exert.

For a given force the torque exerted with the cheater pipe is larger.

Mathematically we can write that

τ = r×F and τ'= r'×F

now since r'> r

⇒ F'>F

Find the ratio of the diameter of iron to copper wire, if they have the same resistance per unit length (as they might in househ
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The ratio of the diameter of iron to Cu is;

\frac{d{Fe}   }{ d{Cu}   } =\sqrt{\frac{p_{Fe} }{ p_{Cu} }}

Explanation:

R=(ρL)/A

  • R is resistance,
  • L is length,
  • A is area,
  • ρ is resistivity
  • d is diameter

from the question the two materials have the same resistance per unit length.

\frac{R}{L}= \frac{p}{A}

\frac{R}{L}   for iron = \frac{R}{L}  for copper

This means we can equate ρ/A for both materials.

\frac{p_{Fe} }{A_{Fe} } =\frac{p_{Cu} }{A_{Cu} }

re-arranging the equation we have,

\frac{A_{Fe}}{A_{Cu} } =\frac{p_{Fe} }{ p_{Cu} }

A=\pi \frac{d^{2} }{4}

\frac{A_{Fe}}{A_{Cu} } =\frac{d^{2}{Fe}   }{ d^{2}{Cu}   }

\frac{d^{2}{Fe}   }{ d^{2}{Cu}   } =\frac{p_{Fe} }{ p_{Cu} }

\frac{d{Fe}   }{ d{Cu}   } =\sqrt{\frac{p_{Fe} }{ p_{Cu} }}
