You drive on Interstate 10 from San Antonio to Houston, half the time at 54 km/h and the other half at 118 km/h. On the way back

you travel half the distance at 54 km/h and the other half at 118 km/h. What is your average speed?

Answer:

Average speed: 86 km/h

Explanation:

Driving from San Antonio to Houston:

1st. half time: 54km/h

2nd. half time: 118 km/h

Average speed = [tex] \frac{54 \frac{km}{h}+ 118 \frac{km}{h}  }{2}=86 \frac{km}{h} [\tex]

Driving way back:

1st. half time: 54km/h

2nd. half time: 118 km/h

Average speed = [tex] \frac{54 \frac{km}{h}+ 118 \frac{km}{h}  }{2}=86 \frac{km}{h} [\tex]

As in both routes we have the same average speed, then the average speed for the whole trip is 86 km/h

Answer:

v_{avg} = 79.7 km/h

Explanation:

As we move from San Antonio to Houston

let the distance is "d" from Antonio to Houston

Half the time it moves with 54 km/h and next half the time it moves 118 km/h

so we will have

54 T + 118 T = d

T = \frac{d}{172}

so total time is

2T = \frac{d}{86} = 0.0116 d

now while his return journey half the distance he move with 54 km/h and next half distance with speed 118 km/h

so we have time of return journey

T' = \frac{d/2}{54} + \frac{d/2}{118}

so now we have

T' = 0.0135 d

now for the average speed we know that

v_{avg} = \frac{distance}{time}

v_{avg} = \frac{d + d}{0.0116 d + 0.0135 d}

v_{avg} = 79.7 km/h

A girl pulls her younger brother on a sled along a flat sidewalk (the total mass of the sled is 30kg). A frictional force of 50N
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

6.13 s

219 N

Explanation:

Newton's law in the x direction:

∑F = ma

150 cos 30° N − 50 N = (30 kg) a

a = 2.66 m/s²

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

(50 m) = (0 m/s) t + ½ (2.66 m/s²) t²

t = 6.13 s

Newton's law in the y direction:

∑F = ma

Fn + 150 sin 30° N − (30 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = 0

Fn = 219 N

An electron is released from rest at the negative plate of a parallel plate capacitor and accelerates to the positive plate (see
siniylev [52]

Answer:

3.88 * 10^(-15) J

Explanation:

We know that the Potential energy of the electron at the beginning of its motion is equal to the Kinetic energy at the end of its motion, when it reaches the plates.

First, we get the potential and potential energy:

Electric potential = E * r

E = electric field

r = distance between plates

Potential = 2.2 * 10^6 * 0.011

= 2.42 * 10^4 V

The relationship between electric potential and potential energy is:

P. E. = q*V

q = charge of electron = 1.602 * 10^(-19) C

P. E. = 2.42 * 10^4 * 1.602 * 10^(-19)

P. E. = 3.88 * 10^(-15) J
