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>

Eduardwww [97]

Answer: find the answer in the explanation as kinetic energy converts to potential energy.

Explanation:

Before the truck driver sees a dog running into the road, The mechanical energy state of the truck will be kinetic energy at maximum.

Immediately he applied the brakes, the mechanical energy of the truck will be combination of kinetic energy and potential energy.

The kinetic energy will gradually decrease as potential energy continue to increase till it reaches maximum potential energy.

The truck will come to a stop at maximum potential energy

Alex73 [517]

Universe contains billions and billions of stars, galaxies, planets, asteroids, comets and many more different type of bodies. These objects emit radiations of varied frequency. In order to study these different kind of objects, different kind of technology is required. There are different type of missions: some contain probes which land on the surface, some orbit the bodies etc. These are for solar system. Yet some are space observatories having detectors to study light from distant objects. Further, there are different detectors for different wavelengths of electromagnetic spectrum.
