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

If the focal length of a reflection telescope is 200 cm and the focal length of the eyepiece lens is 0.25 cm, what is the magnif
masha68 [24]

Answer:

800

Explanation:

Focal length of telescope, F = 200cm

Focal length of eyepiece, f = 0.25

The magnifying power of a telescope is given as the ratio of the focal length of the objective of the telescope to the focal length of the lens. Mathematically:

M = F/f

Therefore, when F = 200cm and f = 0.25cm:

M = 200/0.25

M = 800

7.Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system at nearly 11 times the size of Earth and 317 times its mass.

When we look at Jupiter, we're actually seeing the outermost layer of its clouds.

The Great Red Spot is a storm in Jupiter's southern hemisphere with crimson-colored clouds that spin counterclockwise at wind speeds

8. 58,232 km

The second largest planet in the solar system

Surface. As a gas giant, Saturn doesn't have a true surface. The planet is mostly swirling gases and liquids deeper down.

Saturn's rings are thought to be pieces of comets, asteroids or shattered moons that broke up before they reached the planet,

9. Unlike the other planets of the solar system, Uranus is tilted so far that it essentially orbits the sun on its side, with the axis of its spin nearly pointing at the star.

Uranus' atmosphere is mostly hydrogen and helium, with a small amount of methane and traces of water and ammonia.

As an ice giant, Uranus doesn't have a true surface. The planet is mostly swirling fluids. While a spacecraft would have nowhere to land on Uranus, it wouldn't be able to fly through its atmosphere unscathed either. The extreme pressures and temperatures would destroy a metal spacecraft.

10. 24,622 km

Neptune has an average temperature of -353 Fahrenheit (-214 Celsius).

Neptune's atmosphere is made up mostly of hydrogen and helium with just a little bit of methane.

The second law of thermodynamics states that all energy transformations result in more disordered energy. How can photosynthesis
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

The addition of energy form the sun known as solar energy to the reaction in other to yield glucose.

Explanation:

The second law of thermodynamics states that all matter affected by energy are becoming more random. Indicting that there is a continuous increase in the entropy of the universe.  

In other words as a system loses energy to its surroundings. it becomes more random or experiences an increase in entropy

According to the second law of thermodynamics glucose would break down into CO₂ and H₂O under ordinary conditions, rather than fpr CO₂ to combine with H₂O to form glucose.

However due to the energy added through sunlight, the CO₂ and H₂Oare able to combine to form glucose.
