A car traveled at an average velocity of 97 km/hr. If it traveled for 4 hrs, how far did the driver get?

The car's average <em>speed</em> is 97 km/hr.

Then for calculation purposes, we can assume that it covers 97 km in the
first hour, 97 km in the second hour, 97 km in the third hour, and 97 km in
the fourth hour.

All together, the car covers (97 x 4) = <em>388 km</em> of distance.

We don't know the car's velocity, because we have no information about the
<em>direction</em> it moved at any time during the four hours. So we have no way to
calculate how far it was from the starting point at the end of the fourth hour.
For all we can tell, if the direction (and therefore the velocity) varied just right,
the car could have ended up exactly where it started.

I think the answer is 388 because i multiplyed 97 by 4

A 32.5 g cube of aluminum initially at 45.8 °C is submerged into 105.3 g of water at 15.4 °C. What is the final temperature of b

lakkis [162]

Answer:

$T = 17.26 ^oC$

Explanation:

At thermal equilibrium we have heat given by aluminium must be equal to the heat absorbed by the water

so we will have

$Q_1 = Q_2$

$m_1s_1\Delta T_1 = m_2s_2\Delta T_2$

so we will have

$32.5(900)(45.8 - T) = 105.3(4186)(T - 15.4)$

so we have

$(45.8 - T) = 15.1(T - 15.4)$

so we have

$16.1 T = 277.87$

$T = 17.26 ^oC$

A tennis ball connected to a string is spun around in a vertical, circular path at a uniform speed. The ball has a mass m = 0.15

Oksanka [162]

1) 5.5 N

When the ball is at the bottom of the circle, the equation of the forces is the following:

$T-mg = m\frac{v^2}{R}$

where

T is the tension in the string, which points upward

mg is the weight of the string, which points downward, with

m = 0.158 kg being the mass of the ball

g = 9.8 m/s^2 being the acceleration due to gravity

$m \frac{v^2}{R}$ is the centripetal force, which points upward, with

v = 5.22 m/s being the speed of the ball

R = 1.1 m being the radius of the circular trajectory

Substituting numbers and re-arranging the formula, we find T:

$T=mg+m\frac{v^2}{R}=(0.158 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)+(0.158 kg)\frac{(5.22 m/s)^2}{1.1 m}=5.5 N$

2) 3.9 N

When the ball is at the side of the circle, the only force acting along the centripetal direction is the tension in the string, therefore the equation of the forces becomes:

$T=m\frac{v^2}{R}$

And by substituting the numerical values, we find

$T=(0.158 kg)\frac{(5.22 m/s)^2}{1.1 m}=3.9 N$

3) 2.3 N

When the ball is at the top of the circle, both the tension and the weight of the ball point downward, in the same direction of the centripetal force. Therefore, the equation of the force is

$T+mg=m\frac{v^2}{R}$

And substituting the numerical values and re-arranging it, we find

$T=m\frac{v^2}{R}-mg=(0.158 kg)\frac{5.22 m/s)^2}{1.1 m}-(0.158 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=2.3 N$

4) 3.3 m/s

The minimum velocity for the ball to keep the circular motion occurs when the centripetal force is equal to the weight of the ball, and the tension in the string is zero; therefore:

$T=0\\mg = m\frac{v^2}{R}$

and re-arranging the equation, we find

$v=\sqrt{gR}=\sqrt{(9.8 m/s^2)(1.1 m)}=3.3 m/s$

Which type of reaction does this diagram represent?

Ugo [173]

The diagram represents a chain reaction that is caused by nuclear fission.

<h3>What is a nuclear fission reaction?</h3>

A nuclear fission reaction is a reaction in which the nucleus of a larger atom is split into two or more smaller nucleus of atoms.

Nuclear fission can proceed in the form of a chain reaction in which the products of the first fission reaction are used to initiate further fission reactions.

Therefore, the diagram represents a chain reaction that is caused by nuclear fission.
