If you drive 30 miles in 40 minutes, and then 15 miles in 20 minutes, do you have a constant speed?

Physics

Answer:

A) yes

Explanation:

First section of trip: 30 miles in 40 minutes

Second section of trip: 15 miles in 20 minutes

The formula for speed is distance over time k=\frac{d}{t}

Calculate the speeds for each section of the trip.

First:

k = d/t

k = 30miles/40minutes  <= reduce fraction by 10 (30÷10 and 40÷10)

k = 3 miles / 4 minutes

Second:

k = d/t

k = 15miles/20minutes  <= reduce fraction by 5 (15÷5 and 20÷5)

k = 3 miles / 4 minutes

Therefore there is a constant speed because both sections of the trip are driving at "3 miles / 4 minutes".

3 miles / 4 minutes can be also formatted as:

0.75 miles per minute.

Why do heavier objects fall at the same speed as lighter ones?
GaryK [48]
Speed of any freely falling object is always same. Provided, both are left to fall from the same height. If you perform this experiment in a perfect vacuum or near vacuum laboratory, both of them will reach ground with same velocity this is because there is no resistance to their motion. This is always true no matter where you go and perform this experiment. 
It can be easily proved from conservation of mechanical energy. Why conserving energy? because there are no forces acting on the freely falling objects other than conservative force(mg).

A 5.20 kg chunk of ice is sliding at 13.5 m/s on the floor of an ice-covered valley when it collides with and sticks to another
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

The chunk went as high as

2.32m above the valley floor

Explanation:

This type of collision between both ice is an example of inelastic collision, kinetic energy is conserved after the ice stuck together.

Applying the principle of energy conservation for the two ice we have based on the scenery

Momentum before impact = momentum after impact

M1U1+M2U2=(M1+M2)V

Given data

Mass of ice 1 M1= 5.20kg

Mass of ice 2 M2= 5.20kg

velocity of ice 1 before impact U1= 13.5 m/s

velocity of ice 2 before impact U2= 0m/s

Velocity of both ice after impact V=?

Inputting our data into the energy conservation formula to solve for V

5.2*13.5+5.2*0=(10.4)V

70.2+0=10.4V

V=70.2/10.4

V=6.75m/s

Therefore the common velocity of both ice is 6.75m/s

Now after impact the chunk slide up a hill to solve for the height it climbs

Let us use the equation of motion

v²=u²-2gh

The negative sign indicates that the chunk moved against gravity

And assuming g=9.81m/s

Initial velocity of the chunk u=0m/s

Substituting we have

6.75²= 0²-2*9.81*h

45.56=19.62h

h=45.56/19.62

h=2.32m

I NEED HELP WITH THE LAST QUESTION PLS HELP!! (The one below 8)
maksim [4K]

Answer:

I. 6 cells .

II. Series connection.

Explanation:

I. Determination of the number of cells needed.

From the question given above,

Total voltage (V) = 9 V

1.5 V = 1 cell

Number of cells needed =?

The number of cells needed to make the 9V battery can be obtained as follow:

1.5 V = 1 cell

Therefore,

9 V = 9 V × 1 cell / 1.5 V

9 V = 6 cells

Thus, 6 cells of 1.5 V each is needed

II. Determination of the connection line

Total voltage (Vₜ) = 9 V

Cell 1 (V₁) = 1.5 V

Cell 2 (V₂) = 1.5 V

Cell 3 (V₃) = 1.5 V

Cell 4 (V₄) = 1.5 V

Cell 5 (V₅) = 1.5 V

Cell 6(V₆ ) = 1.5 V

For parrall connection:

Vₜ = V₁ = V₂ = V₃ = V₄ = V₅ = V₆

9 V = 1.5 V =... = 1.5 V

For series connection:

Vₜ = V₁ + V₂ + V₃ + V₄ + V₅ + V₆

9 = 1.5 + 1.5 + 1.5 + 1.5 + 1.5 + 1.5

9 V = 9 V

From the illustration above, we can see that series connection of each cells will give a total volt of 9 V unlike the parallel connection which resulted to 1.5 V.

Therfore, the cells should be arranged in series connection

A table with mass 23.5 kg sits on the ground what is the normal force on the table?
marin [14]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

There are two forces on the table: weight and normal force.  Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

N - mg = 0

N = mg

N = (23.5 kg) (9.81 m/s²)

N = 230 N
