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.

A horizontal 810-N merry-go-round of radius 1.60 m is started from rest by a constant horizontal force of 55 N applied tangentia
Sloan [31]

Answer:

576 joules

Explanation:

From the question we are given the following:

weight = 810 N

radius (r) = 1.6 m

horizontal force (F) = 55 N

time (t) = 4 s

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

K.E = 0.5 x MI x ω^{2}

where MI is the moment of inertia and ω is the angular velocity

MI = 0.5 x m x r^2

mass = weight ÷ g = 810 ÷ 9.8 = 82.65 kg

MI = 0.5 x 82.65 x 1.6^{2}

MI = 105.8 kg.m^{2}

angular velocity (ω) = a x t

angular acceleration (a) = torque ÷ MI

where torque = F x r = 55 x 1.6 = 88 N.m

a= 88 ÷ 105.8 = 0.83 rad /s^{2}

therefore

angular velocity (ω) = a x t = 0.83 x 4 = 3.33 rad/s

K.E = 0.5 x MI x ω^{2}

K.E = 0.5 x 105.8 x 3.33^{2} = 576 joules

Jasmine need to correct the error by switching the headings on the columns adding the title parallel circuits.

<h3>What is a parallel circuit?</h3>

A parallel circuit is a circuit in which the components are connected to a common junction. This implies that if one bulb goes out in a parallel connection, all the bulbs will go out.

As such, Jasmine need to correct the error by switching the headings on the columns adding the title parallel circuits.

Answer:

See below ~

Explanation:

An object will sink in water when its density is greater than that of water, which is 1 g/cm³.

Volume of the box is <u>1331 cm³</u>. (11³)

Maximum mass of sand will be 1331 g. [because 1331/1331 = 1 g/cm³]

  • Volume of sand = Mass of sand / Density of sand
  • Volume (sand) = 1331/3.5
  • Volume (sand) = 380.29 cm³

If the volume of sand is <u>greater than 380.29 cm³</u>, the box will sink in water.

You send a beam of light from a material with index of refraction 1.21 into an unknown material. In order to help identify this
White raven [17]

Answer:

refractive index of the unknown material is 1.33.

Explanation:

μ₁ = 1.21

incidence angle (i) = 41.9°

refraction angle (r) = 37.3°

Let us assume μ be the refractive index of the unknown material

according to snell's law of refraction.

μ₁ sin i = μ₂ sin r

1.21 × sin 41.9° =  μ × sin 37.3°

μ = 1.33

hence the refractive index of the unknown material comes out top be 1.33
