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

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

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

$v_{avg} = 79.7 km/h$

From what height must an oxygen molecule fall in a vacuum so that its kinetic energy at the bottom equals the average energy of

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The value is $h = 11930 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The temperature is $T = 300 \ K$

Generally the root mean square speed of the oxygen molecules is mathematically represented as

$v = \sqrt{\frac{3 * R * T }{M} } = \sqrt{ 2 * g * h }$

Here R is the gas constant with a value $R = 8.314 \ J\cdot K^{-1} \cdot \ mol^{-1}$

M is the molar mass of oxygen molecule with value $M = 0.032 \ kg /mol$

So

$\frac{3 * 8.314 * 300 }{0.032} = 2 * 9.8 * h$

=> $h = 11930 \ m$

Which law states that the pressure and absolute temperature of a fixed quantity of gas are directly proportional under constant

Brrunno [24]

<u>Gay Lussac’s law</u> state that the pressure and absolute temperature of a fixed quantity of a gas are directly proportional under constant volume conditions.

<h2>Further Explanation </h2><h3>Gay-Lussac’s law </h3>

It states that at constant volume, the pressure of an ideal gas I directly proportional to its absolute temperature.
Thus, an increase in pressure of an ideal gas at constant volume will result to an increase in the absolute temperature.

<h3>Boyles’s law </h3>

This gas law states that the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure at constant absolute temperature.
Therefore, when the volume of an ideal gas is increased at constant temperature then the pressure of the gas will also increase.

<h3>Charles’s law </h3>

It states that the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is directly proportional to absolute temperature at constant pressure.
Therefore, an increase in volume of an ideal gas causes a corresponding increase in its absolute temperature and vice versa while the pressure is held constant.

<h3>Dalton’s law </h3>

It is also known as the Dalton’s law of partial pressure. It states that the total pressure of a mixture of gases is always equivalent to the total sum of the partial pressures of individual component gases.
Partial pressure refers to the pressure of an individual gas if it occupies the same volume as the mixture of gases.

A student sits at rest on a piano stool that can rotate without friction. The moment of inertia of the student-stool system is 4

irina [24]

Here We can use principle of angular momentum conservation

Here as we know boy + projected mass system has no external torque

Since there is no torque so we can say the angular momentum is conserved

$mvL = (I + mL^2)\omega$

now we know that

m = 2 kg

v = 2.5 m/s

L = 0.35 m

I = 4.5 kg-m^2

now plug in all values in above equation

$2\times 2.5 \times 0.35 = (4.5 + (2\times 0.35^2))\omega$

$1.75 = [4.5 + 0.245]\omega$

$1.75 = 4.745\omega$

$\omega = 0.37 rad/s$

so the final angular speed will be 0.37 rad/s

Suppose your local apparent solar time is 11 am, and you have a clock that says it is noon in Greenwich. What is your longitude

jeyben [28]

The longitude based on the time difference is 15 degrees.

<h3>Longitude of complete rotation of the Earth</h3>

The longitude of a complete rotation of the earth in a 24 hours is calculated as follows;

$= \frac{360^0}{24} = 15^0 \ of \ longitude$

<h3>Time difference</h3>

The time difference between the local apparent solar time and the Greenwich time is calculated as follows;

$t = 12 pm \ - \ 11 am\\\\t = 1 \ hour$

Since it is one hour time difference, the longitude is 15 degrees.
