A bicyclist makes a trip that consists of three parts, each in the same direction (due north) along a straight road. During the

first part, she rides for 22 minutes at an average speed of 7.2 m/s. During the second part, she rides for 36 minutes at an average speed of 5.1 m/s. Finally, during the third part, she rides for 8.0 minutes at an average speed of 13 m/s. (a) How far has the bicyclist traveled during the entire trip? (b) What is her average velocity for the trip? (Ans: a)26.7km, b) 6.74m/s)

Answer:

a

The total distance traveled is D  = 26760 \ m

b

The average velocity is  v_{avg} =  6.8 \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The time taken for first part t_1 =  22 \ minutes = 22*60 = 1320 \ s

      The speed for the first part is  v_1 =  7.2 \ m/s

        The time taken for second part is t_2 =  36 \ minutes =  2160 \ s

        The speed for the second  part is  v_2 =  5.1 \ m/s

         The time taken for third  part is  t_3 =  8 \ minutes = 480 \ s  

          The speed for the third  part is  v_3 =  13 m/s

Generally

        distance(D)  =  velocity * time

Therefore the total distance traveled is  

         D  =  (v_1 * t_1) + (v_2 * t_2 ) + (v_3 * t_3)

substituting values

        D  =  (7.2 * 1320) + (5.1 * 2160) + (13 * 480)

        D  = 26760 \ m

Generally the average velocity is mathematically represented as

        v_{avg} =  \frac{D}{t_{total}}

Where t_{total} is the total time taken which is mathematically represented as

       t_{total}  =  1320 + 2160 + 480

      t_{total}  =3960\ s

The average velocity is

        v_{avg} =  \frac{26760}{3960}

        v_{avg} =  6.8 \ m/s

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

The velocity of the light will be 1.0c only

Explanation:

The velocity of the light measured in the case given in question will be 1.0c only.

This is due to the fact that the velocity of light is never relative. The velocity of the light is maximum

The velocity of the light cannot be scaled down in no case

Thus, the velocity of the light remains as constant.

Hence, the velocity of the light measured will be 1.0c although the ships have relative velocity.

6. An excited dog runs full-speed toward his owner who has just returned home from
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

v = 8.65 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance covered by the doge, d = 45 m

Time taken, t = 5.2 s

We need to find its average speed. The total distance covered divided by the total time taken is called the average speed of an object. So,

v=\dfrac{45\ m}{5.2\ s}\\\\=8.65\ m/s

So, the average speed is 8.65 m/s.

A plant cell is no longer capable of capturing energy from sunlight and converting it into chemical energy. Which organelle is m
Nadya [2.5K]

The chloroplast of the cell is most likely damaged if the plant cell is no longer capable of capturing energy from sunlight and converting it into chemical energy.

The chloroplast is the structure inside the leaf cell that is known for capturing light energy from the sun.

This light energy is then used to make food that has chemical energy. If a plant cell has a damaged chloroplast or the chloroplast is removed, then it will no longer be able to trap the light energy. As a result, the process of photosynthesis will not occur in the plant cell. The plant cell will not be able to make the chemical energy required for functioning.

What is force derived from
Nata [24]

Answer:

Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. ... It is measured in the SI unit of newtons and represented by the symbol F. The original form of Newton's second law states that the net force acting upon an object is equal to the rate at which its momentum changes with time.

Explanation:

hope this helps : )
