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 $\frac{m}{sec}$

Answer:

340 m/s

Solution:

As per the question;

Time, t = 3.0 s

Total distance moved by the ship, d = 10,500 km

The increase in speed, v = 340 m/s

Now,

To calculate the U.S.S Burger's change in speed, $\Delta V$ :

The final velocity is given by:

$v_{f} = 340 + v_{i}$ (1)

where

$v_{f} = final\ velocity$

$v_{i} = initial\ velocity$

Also, the change in velocity is given by:

$\Delta v = v_{f} - v_{i}$ (2)

Now, from eqn (1) and (2):

$\Delta = 340 + v_{i} - v_{i} = 340\ m/s$

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

$F=3.61\times 10^{-47}\ N$

Explanation:

Mass of a proton, $m_p=1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg$

Mass of an electron, $m_e=9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg$

The distance between the electron and the proton is, $r=5.3\times 10^{-11}\ m$

We need to find the mutual attractive gravitational force between the electron and proton. The gravitational force is given by :

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

Where G is the universal Gravitational constant

$F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \dfrac{9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 1.67\times 10^{-27}}{(5.3\times 10^{-11})^2}\\\\F=3.61\times 10^{-47}\ N$

So, the force between the electron and proton is $3.61\times 10^{-47}\ N$ .

If the IMA of a machine is 2 and the effort force is 50 newtons, then the force applied to the resistance is _____. 48 N 50 N 25

zysi [14]

IMA stands for ideal mechanical advantage, which is the theoretical force amplification factor on an ideal mechanical device free of friction, deformations, etc.

If the applied force (effort) is 50N, then the force applied to the resistance is multiplied by the IMA=2 to get 100N.
