Calculate the average speed of an automobile that travels 60km east and then 80km north in two hours

1 answer:

8 0

We need to calculate speed , so we don't need to consider direction.
speed =distance/time
=(80+60)/2
=70.

But if we were to calculate velocity,we would need to consider the direction.
The direction of resultant displacement would be in north east direction with displacement
=√60^2 +80^2
=100km

The average velocity=100/2=50kmph

Two 84.5 g ice cubes are dropped into 30 g of water in a glass. If the water is initially at a temperature of 50 C and if the ic

Setler [38]

Answer:

final temperature will be 0 degree C

Total amount of ice will be

$m_{ice} = 182 g$

total amount of water

$m_{water} = 17 g$

Explanation:

After thermal equilibrium is achieved we can say that

Heat given by water = heat absorbed by ice cubes

so we will have

Heat given by water to reach 0 degree C

$Q_1 = m_1s_1 \Delta T_1$

$Q_1 = 0.030(4186)(50 - 0)$

$Q_1 = 6279 J$

heat absorbed by ice cubes to reach 0 degree

$Q_2 = m_2 s_2 \Delta T_2$

$Q_2 = (0.169)(2100)(30)$

$Q_2 = 10647 J$

so we will have

$Q_2 > Q_1$

so here we can say that few amount of water will freeze here to balance the heat

$10647 - 6279 = mL$

$m = \frac{10647 - 6279}{335000}$

$m = 13 g$

so final temperature will be 0 degree C

Total amount of ice will be

$m_{ice} = 84.5 + 84.5 + 13$

$m_{ice} = 182 g$

total amount of water

$m_{water} = 30 - 13$

$m_{water} = 17 g$

babunello [35]

Answer:

The wavelength of the light is 555 nm.

Explanation:

according to Bragg's law..

n×λ = d×sin(θ)

n is the fringe number

λ is the wavelength of the light

d is the slit separation

θ is the angle the light makes with the normal at the fringe.

Answer:

It’s called a conservative field.

Explanation:

I think it’s going to be the conservative field because in the question it talks about how it is able to become possible to define potential at a point in an electric field because electric field.

A truck moves 30 km West, and then 40 km North, and then travels in a straight path back to its starting

SpyIntel [72]

Distance = (30+40+50) = 120 km

It's back where it started, so displacement = zero
