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.

Which of these belongs to a tropic level with the most energy?

MrRa [10]

Answer:

Berries is the correct answer because it is the produce in your pyramid and as each living thing is devoured by another there is less energy. For instance the berry has the most energy because it’s energy has just come from the sun. But then an insect eats it and consumes most of its energy but some energy is released into the atmosphere. Then a rodent eats the bug and consumes its energy but yet again some energy is released into the atmosphere. So each time there is less and less energy. Does that help any?

Explanation:

it’s energy has just come from the sun. But then an insect eats it and consumes most of its energy but some energy is released into the atmosphere.

Find the magnitude of the free-fall acceleration at the orbit of the Moon (a distance of 60RE from the center of the Earth with

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The magnitude of the free-fall acceleration at the orbit of the Moon is $2.728\times 10^{-3}\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ ( $\frac{2.784}{10000}\cdot g$ , where $g = 9.8\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ ).

Explanation:

According to the Newton's Law of Gravitation, free fall acceleration ( $g$ ), in meters per square second, is directly proportional to the mass of the Earth ( $M$ ), in kilograms, and inversely proportional to the distance from the center of the Earth ( $r$ ), in meters:

$g = \frac{G\cdot M}{r^{2}}$ (1)

Where:

$G$ - Gravitational constant, in cubic meters per kilogram-square second.

$M$ - Mass of the Earth, in kilograms.

$r$ - Distance from the center of the Earth, in meters.

If we know that $G = 6.674\times 10^{-11}\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg\cdot s^{2}}$ , $M = 5.972\times 10^{24}\,kg$ and $r = 382.26\times 10^{6}\,m$ , then the free-fall acceleration at the orbit of the Moon is:

$g = \frac{\left(6.674\times 10^{-11}\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg\cdot s^{2}} \right)\cdot (5.972\times 10^{24}\,kg)}{(382.26\times 10^{6}\,m)^{2}}$

$g = 2.728\times 10^{-3}\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

A fan blade, initially at rest, rotates with a constant acceleration of 0.029 rad/s2. What is the time interval required for it

LenKa [72]

Answer:

The time interval is $t = 21.30 \ s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The constant acceleration is $\alpha = 0.029 \ rad / s^2$

The displacement is $\theta = 6.58 \ rad$

According to the second equation of motion we have that

$\theta = w_i* t + \frac{1}{2} * \alpha t^2$

given that the blade started from rest

$w_i$ which is the initial angular velocity is 0

So

$\theta = 0 + \frac{1}{2} * \alpha t^2$

=> $t = \sqrt{ \frac{2 * \theta }{\alpha } }$

substituting values

=> $t = \sqrt{ \frac{2 * 6.58 }{0.029 } }$

=> $t = 21.30 \ s$
