Answer:

The motorist average speed for the trip is 88 km/h

Explanation:

In order to know her average speed, we have to refer to the following ecuation:

<V> (average speed) = $\frac{Vfinal+Vinital}{2}$

So, according to that, we know that the motorist has been having a speed of 80km/h during 3 hours, and a speed of 100 km/h during 2 hours. It means that her speed during all the travel is 5 hours.

Then, we have to affect the 5 hours to the inicial and final speed as follows:

First, at 80 km/h, she travels during 2 hours so:

3h*80km/h= 240 km

And then, at 100 km/h:

2h*100km/h= 200 km

Which leads us to:

initial speed: 240 km/ 5 h= 48 km/h

and final speed of: 200 km/ 5 h= 40 km/h

Then, the average speed is:

<V> = 48 km/h + 40 km/h = 88 km/h

3x80=240
2x100=200
240+200/5=88 k/hr

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

204 m

Explanation:

When the marble is dropped from a certain height, its gravitational potential energy converts into kinetic energy. So the kinetic energy gained is equal to the variation of gravitational potential energy:

$\Delta U=mg\Delta h$

where

m is the mass of the marble

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

$\Delta h$ is the change in height

In this problem, we have

m = 50 g = 0.05 kg

$\Delta U = 100 J$

Solving the formula for $\Delta h$ , we find the necessary height from which the marble should be dropped:

$\Delta h = \frac{\Delta U}{mg}=\frac{100}{(0.05)(9.8)}=204 m$

Answer:

The minimum diameter of the stick to bear the normal stress as 100 psi is 0.1785 in.

Explanation:

Taking moment along point A

$\sum M_A=0\\F_{BC} sin 60 \times 48 -13 \times 8=0\\F_{BC}=2.502 lb_f$

Also normal stress is given as 100 psi

Now

$\sigma=\frac{F}{A}\\100=\frac{2.502}{\pi \frac{d^2}{4}}\\d^2 =\frac{4 \times 2.502}{100 \pi }\\d^2=0.031856\\d=\sqrt{0.031856}\\d=0.1785 inch$

The minimum diameter of the stick to bear the normal stress as 100 psi is 0.1785 in.

Where have you heard the word calorie before what do you think a calorie is

Ainat [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Calorie is a common term used to describe the amount of energy that can be derived from food products.

We quantify foods based on the calories of energy they possess. A high calorific food will yield more energy to the body and is often desired for intense physical activities.

Calorie is defined as the amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of 1g of a substance by 1°C.

Food calories slightly differs in definition and they imply the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1kg of water by 1°C.

PtichkaEL [24]

All of that fluff at the beginning is interesting, but completely irrelevant
to the question. The question is just asking for the mass of an object
that weighs 3.6N on Earth.

Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity)

3.6N = (mass) x (9.8 m/s²)

Divide each side
by 9.8 m/s : Mass = 3.6N / 9.8 m/s² = <em>0.367 kilogram</em> (rounded)

Pani-rosa [81]

The zero net electric field point is at a point that is 0.98 m away from 4.7C charge.If a 14C charge is placed at this point then, force acted on the charge placed at this point is equal to zero.

Explanation:

Let at A both net electric field is zero then

At A ,E1=E2

E1=k*Iq1I / (d+x)^2

E2=k*Iq2I /x^2
