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.

Can the resistors in an "unbalanced" Wheatstone bridge circuit be treated as a combination of series and/or parallel resistors?
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Explanation:

The resistors in a unbalanced wheat stone bridge cannot be treated as a combination of series and parallel combination of resistors.

In case of balanced wheat stone bridge, the resistors can be treated as the combination of series and parallel combination.

Here, In the balanced wheat stone bridge

R1 and R2 be in series and Ra and Rx is series and then their combination is in parallel combination.

A water line with an internal radius of 5.29 x 10-3 m is connected to a shower head that has 15 holes. The speed of the water in
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

(a) 3.44 x 10^-3 m^3/s

(b) 8.4 m/s

Explanation:

area of water line, A = 5.29 x 10^-3 m

number of holes, N = 15

Speed of water in line, V = 0.651 m/s

(a) Volume flow rate is given by

V = area of water line x speed of water in water line

V = 5.29 x 10^-3 x 0.651 = 3.44 x 10^-3 m^3/s

(b) area of one hole, a = 4.13 x 10^-4 m

Let v be the velocity of water in each hole

According to the equation of continuity

A x V = a x v

5.29 x 10^-3 x 0.651 = 4.1 x 10^-4 x v

v = 8.4 m/s
