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:

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

$speed=16.11 \frac{m}{sec}$

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

kifflom [539]

Answer:

$x_{distance}=10.07km$

Explanation:

Given data

time=0.530 h

Average velocity Vavg=19.0 km/s

To find

Displacement Δx

Solution

The Formula for average velocity is given as

$V_{avg}=(x_{distance} )/(t_{time} )\\ x_{distance}=V_{avg}*(t_{time} )\\x_{distance}=(19.0km/h)*(0.530h)\\x_{distance}=10.07km$

Neko [114]

Question (continuation)

(a) What is the change in electric potential energy when the dipole moment of a molecule changes its orientation with respect to E S from parallel to perpendicular?

(b) At what absolute temperature T is the average translational kinetic energy 3/2kT of a molecule equal to the change in potential energy calculated in part (a)?

Answer:

a. 9.0 * 10^-24 Joules

b. 0.44K

Explanation:

Given

Let p = dipole moment = 5.0 * 10^-30 Cm

Let E = Magnitude = 1.8 * 10^6 N/m

The charge in electric potential = Final Charge - Initial Charge

Initial Charge = Potential Energy

Initial Energy = -pE cosФ where Ф = 0

So, initial Energy = - 5.0 * 10^-30 * 1.8 * 10^6

Initial Energy = -9 * 10^-24 Joules

Final Energy = 0

Charge = 0 - (-9.0 * 10^-24)

Charge = 9.0 * 10^-24 Joules

Absolute Temperature

Change in Kinetic Energy = Change in Potential Energy = 9.0 * 10^-24

Change in Kinetic Energy = 3/2kT where k is Steven-Boltzmann constant = 1.38 * 10^-23

So,

9.0 * 10^-24 = 3/2 * 1.38 * 10^-23 * T

T = (9.0 * 10^-24 * 2)/(3 * 1.38 * 10^-23)

T = (18 * 10^-24)/(4.14 * 10^-23)

T = 0.44K

Which factor affects the force of gravity between objects? Check all that apply. A.direction

Leviafan [203]

The gravitational force between two masses is given by the formula

$F=G\dfrac{Mm}{r^2}$

where G is the gravitational constant, M is the larger mass, m is the smaller mass, and r is the distance between the centers of the objects. The values we can change here to affect that gravitational force are the mass and the distance. Time and shape have no impact on this force.
