You normally drive on the freeway between San Diego and Los Angeles at an average speed of 105 km/h (65mi/h), and the trip takes

2 hr and 20 min. On a Friday afternoon, however, heavy traffic slows you down and you drive the same distance at an average speed of only 70 km/h (50 mi/h). How much longer does the trip take?

Answer:

Given the second case mentioned, the trip will take:

  • <u>1 hour and 10 minutes more than in the first case, that is, it will take 3 hours with 30 minutes in total.</u>

Explanation:

To calculate how much longer someone will take on that journey, you must calculate the distance traveled, using the aforementioned initial speed, however, the time must be converted into a number that you can calculate, this is done using a rule of three:

  • 60 minutes = 1
  • 20 minutes = X
  • X = 20 minutes / 60 minutes = 0.33333

Now it is calculated:

  • Kilometers traveled = 105 km / h (speed used) * 2,333 hours (the change from 2 hours and twenty minutes to a number) = 245 km

Now you just need to divide the total distance by the new speed to find the total time spent now:

  • Total time case 2 = 245 Km / 70 Km / h = <u>3.5 hours</u> (which is equal to <u>3 hours and 30 minutes</u>)

Since the time of the first case was 2 hours 20 minutes, the difference is <u>1 hour 10 minutes</u>.

Answer:

3 hours and 28 minutes.

Explanation:

Average speed is gu=iven by,

Average speed = \frac{Total distance}{Total time}

∴ Total distance = Average speed × Total time

Average speed = 105 \frac{km}{h}

Total time = 2 hour and 20 minutes = 2.33 hour

Total distance = 105 × 2.33

Total distance = 244.65 km

The total distance between San Diego and Los Angeles is 244.65 km.

Due to heavy traffic the average speed is decreased to 70 \frac{km}{h}.

Average speed = \frac{Total distance}{Total time}

∴ Total time =  \frac{Total distance}{Average speed }

Total time = \frac{244.65}{70}

Total time = 3.495 hours

Total time = 3 hours and 28 minutes

Thus due to heavy traffic the time taken to travel from between San Diego and Los Angeles is 3 hours and 28 minutes.

Since it's a projectile being launched the only force acting upon it is gravity, since the object is in free fall once it's launched

so to calculate time you'd utilize the general formula of
xf = xi + vxi(t) + \frac{1}{2} (a) {t}^{2}
and then solve using time and make it into the y axis, so change the x's to y's, which will change a to g.
since Vyi is always usually 0, you can drop that out of this equation so the formula to find time would be
t =  \sqrt{ \frac{2(y)}{g} }
So you'll plug in and it'll be
t =  \sqrt{ \frac{2( - 49m)}{ - 9.81 \frac{m}{s {}^{2} } } }
to find the maximum height you'll have to do some trigonometry to solve it.
To make it easier draw a triangle
put the 60° mark as shown in the picture.
Then you'll need to find the hypotenuse or horizontal to find the vertical
So the hypotenuse would be the 113m/s
so then you'll use
\ \sin( 60) = ( \frac{o}{h})

plug in the numbers
113( \ \sin (60) ) = o
now that you have the vertical

use the formula
{vf}^{2}  =  {vi}^{2}  + 2gd
solve for d which will give you the hypotenuse
d = { (-vertical \frac{m}{s} )}^{2}  \div 2( - 9.81 \frac{m}{ {s}^{2} } )
The "vertical" is what you found in the previous step.
Vf^2 is equal to 0 so you can just drop that number out since it's 0
then once you have that then youre not done yet
since you're on a cliff of 49 m you'll have to add 49m to the previous answer that you found d to find the maximum height.

I hope this helps!

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

When you rub a clear plastic pen with the wool the plastic pen gets charges this phenomenon is known as frictional charging.

Due to rubbing, the pen gets negatively charged.

We know, opposite charge attract each other and the same charge repel each other.

So, when the pen is negatively charged the tape might be positively charged or the tape might be uncharged.

Hence, the correct answer is option B
