You are writing a short adventure story for your English class. In your story, two submarines on a secret mission need to arrive

at a place in the middle of the Atlantic ocean at the same time. They start out at the same time from positions equally distant from the rendezvous point. They travel at different velocities but both go in a straight line. The first submarine travels at an average velocity of 20 km/hr for the first 500 km, 40 km/hr for the next 500 km, 30 km/hr for the next 500 km and 50 km/hr for the final 500 km. In the plot, the second submarine is required to travel at a constant velocity, so the captain needs to determine the size of that velocity. What is that velocity?

Answer:

V = 31.17km/h

Explanation:

The average velocity is given by:

V = \frac{d}{t}   where d is the same distance traveled by the first submarine and t is the the same amout of time that it took.

d = 500km + 500km + 500km+ 500km = 2000km

t = t1 + t2 + t3 + t4

where

t1 = \frac{d1}{V1} = \frac{500km}{20km/h}=25h

t2 = \frac{d2}{V2} = \frac{500km}{40km/h}=12.5h

t3 = \frac{d3}{V3} = \frac{500km}{30km/h}=16.67h

t4 = \frac{d4}{V4} = \frac{500km}{50km/h}=10h

So, t = 25 + 12.5 + 16.67 + 10 = 64.17h

And finally:

V = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{2000km}{64.17h}=31.17km/h

ANALOGY, Metal ions: buoys, as electrons: _____.
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

a. water

Explanation:

A buoy is a floating object that is used in the sea to locate some point or as a checkpoint. It stays at its designated position in the sea by means of an anchor chain. This chain is made short in length according to the water depth do the buoy can not deviate much from its position. The same mechanism can be applied to the metal ion. When a metal ion is formed it remains at its place, but the electrons are mobile and they travel when they get a medium. For example in circuits or from one atom to other. And for the case of buoy, the water serves as electrons as the water is moving in the medium. Hence, the second analogy will be:

electrons : water

So, the correct option is:

<u>a. water</u>

Two cars travel westward along a straight highway, one at a constant velocity of 85 km/h, and the other at a constant velocity o
spayn [35]

To solve letter a:

d1 = 85t1 = 16 km, 
85t1 = 16, 
t1 = 16 / 85 = 0.1882 h = 11.29 min. 

d2 = 115t2 = 16 km, 
115t2 = 16, 
t2 = 16 / 115 = 0.139 h = 8.35 min. 

t1 - t2 = 11.29 - 8.35 = 2.94 min. 
Car #2 arrives 2.94 minutes sooner.

To solve letter b:

15 min = 1/4 h = 0.25 h. 
d1 = d2, 
115t = 85(t + 0.25), 
115t = 85t + 21.25, 
115t - 85t = 21.25, 
30t = 21.25, 
t = 21.25 / 30 = 0.71 h, 

d = 115 * 0.71 = 81.65 km.

How could you determine the instantaneous speed during a<br> trip?
Fiesta28 [93]
Look at your speedometer for say, a couple of seconds. Depends on whether or not you are moving on average at a constant speed (speedo won't change much) or whether you're in a polluting traffic jam/queue in which case the speedo will go up and down like a yo yo. to determine the speed, you'd probably need to plot the speed on the speedo against the times at which the speedo speeds were read from the speedo.

In a single movable pulley, a load of 500 N is lifted by applying 300 N effort. Calculate MA, VR and efficiency.​
galben [10]

Answer:

in pulley there are different kinds.but the most common one are fixed,moveable and compound pulley. in this question we asked about movable pulley.

Explanation:

Given request solutions

L=500N a,M.A=? a,M.A=L/E =5/3

E=300N b,V.R=? b,V.R=2

c,efficiency =? c,£=M.A/V.R=5/6

£=IS NOT THE REAL SYMBOLS OF EFFICIENCY BUT I IS LOOK LIKE THIS
