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.

How many carbon-14 atoms are left after 1 half-life
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

The time it takes for 14C to radioactively decay is described by its half-life. C has a half-life of 5,730 years. In other words, after 5,730 years, only half of the original amount of 14C remains in a sample of organic material. After an additional 5,730 years–or 11,460 years total–only a quarter of the 14C remains.

Hope this helps

10 minutes are the same as 600 seconds.

If you run 2 meters in 1 second then you run 2 * 600 meters in 600 seconds.

What is the mass of an object traveling at 20m/s and having a momentum of 60kg⋅m/s?
vichka [17]

Answer:

m=3kg

Explanation:

Momentum=mass×speed

60[kg m/s]=m[kg]×20[m/s]

We get:

m=3kg

Four point charges of magnitudes +3q, -q, +2q, and -4q are arranged in the corners of a square of side length L. The charge -q c
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

d) 0 V

Explanation:

It can be showed that the potential due to a point charge q, to a distance d from the charge, can be expressed as follows:

V = \frac{k*q}{r}

where k = \frac{1}{4*\pi*\epsilon0} = 9e9 N*m2/C2

As the potential is an scalar, and is linear with the charge, we can apply the superposition principle, which means that we can find the potential due to one of the charges, as if the other were not present.

By symmetry, all four charges are at the same distance from the center, so we can write the total potential, as follows:

V = \frac{k}{d} ( q1 + q2 + q3 + q4) (1)

where d, is the semi-diagonal of the square, that we can find applying Pythagorean theorem, as follows:

d = \sqrt{\frac{L^{2}}{4} + \frac{L^{2}}{4} } = L*\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}

Replacing by the values in (1) we have:

V = \frac{9e9N*m2/C2}{\frac{L}{2}*\sqrt{2} }* ( +3q -q + 2q + -4q)  = 0 V

which is equal to the option d).
