<h3>Answer:</h3>

Your original speed was 45.668 mph.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

To find seconds per mile, divide 3600 by speed in miles per hour. Let x represent the original speed. Then 3600/x is the original time per mile.

The new time per mile is 3600/(x +8.2), and that is 12 seconds less than the original time per mile:

... 3600/(x +8.2) = 3600/x -12

Multiplying by the product of the denominators, we have ...

... 3600(x) = 3600(x +8.2) -12(x)(x +8.2)

Dividing by 12 and putting this into standard form, we have

... x^2 +8.2x -300(8.2) = 0

... x = (-8.2 +√(8.2² -4(-300·8.2)))/2 = -4.1 +√2476.81 . . . . solved using the quadratic formula

... x ≈ 45.6676 . . . mi/h

Your original speed was about 45.67 mph.

_____

<em>Check</em>

Your original time per mile was about 3600/45.66756 ≈ 78.8306 seconds. Your shorter time per mile is about 3600/53.86756 ≈ 66.8306 seconds, which is 12 seconds less.

From the first condition
1 = vo t

From the second condition
1 = 8.2 (t - 12/60)

The time it takes to travel 1 mile in the second condition is
t = 0.32 hr

The original speed is
1 = vo (0.32)
vo = 3.13 mi/h

A long, current-carrying solenoid with an air core has 1800 turns per meter of length and a radius of 0.0165 m. A coil of 210 tu
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

The mutual inductance is  M  =  0.000406 \  H

Explanation:

From the question we  are told that

    The  number of turns per unit length  is  N =  1800

    The radius is  r = 0.0165 \ m

     The  number of turns of the solenoid is  N_s  =  210 \ turns

   

Generally the mutual inductance of the  system is mathematically represented as

       M  =  \mu_o  *  N *  N_s  *  A

Where A is the cross-sectional area of the system which is mathematically represented as

       A  =  \pi  *  r^2

substituting values

      A  =  3.142 *  (0.0165)^2

       A  =  0.0008554 \ m^2

also   \mu_o is the permeability of free space with the value  \mu_o  =   4\pi * 10^{-7} N/A^2

So  

      M  =  4\pi * 10^{-7}   *1800 *  210  *  0.0008554

      M  =  0.000406 \  H

A car is traveling in a race. The car went from the initial velocity of 35 m/s to the final velocity of 65 m/s in 5 seconds. Wha
olga55 [171]

Answer:

6m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity  = 35m/s

Final velocity  = 65m/s

Time taken  = 5s

Unknown:

Acceleration = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time taken;

   Acceleration  = \frac{Final velocity  - Initial velocity }{time}  

So;

 Acceleration   = \frac{65  - 35}{5}    = 6m/s²

What is sunlight composed of
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Roughly three quarters of the Sun's mass consists of hydrogen (~73%); the rest is mostly helium (~25%), with much smaller quantities of heavier elements, including oxygen, carbon, neon, and iron. The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) based on its spectral class.
