A car left Point A at 7:30 am and arrived at Point B, 162 miles away at 10:30 am. What was its average speed in miles per hour?

The formula for average speed is,

S= Total Distance Covered / Total Time Taken

In the given problem, 

The total distance covered is 162 miles.
Since only the times are given, we have to determine how many hours did the car traveled from 7:30am to 10:30am.

To get the number of hours: First, subtract the hours, then the minutes. Hours: 10-7=3 
Minutes: 30-30=0

Therefore,

S = 162miles/3hrs
S = 54miles/hr

The average speed of the car is 54miles/hr.

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

F= 4788 N

Explanation:

Because the car moves with uniformly accelerated movement we apply the following formula:

vf²=v₀²+2*a*d Formula (1)

Where:  

d:displacement in meters (m)  

v₀: initial speed in m/s    

vf: final speed in m/s  

a: acceleration in m/s²

Data

d=36.9 m

v₀=14.0 m/s m/s    

vf= 0  

Calculating of the acceleration of the car

We replace dta in the formula (1)

vf²=v₀²+2*a*d

(0)²=(14)²+2*a*(36.9)

-(14)²= (73.8) *a

a= - (196) /  (73.8)

a= - 2.66 m/s²

Newton's second law of the car in direction  horizontal (x):

∑Fx = m*ax Formula (2)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in direction x-axis (N)

m : mass (kg)

a : acceleration  (m/s²)

Data

m=1800 Fkg

a= - 2.66 m/s²

Magnitude of the horizontal net force (F) that is required to bring the car to a halt in a distance of 36.9 m :

We replace data in the formula (2)

-F= (1800 kg) * ( -2.66 m/s² )

F= 4788 N

Explain why sugar was used in this experiment. How does the experiment relate to a baker adding yeast to bread to make it rise?
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Yeast can use oxygen to release the energy from sugar (like you can) in the process called "respiration". ... So, the more sugar there is, the more active the yeast will be and the faster its growth (up to a certain point - even yeast cannot grow in very strong sugar - such as honey).

While a block slides forward 1.35 m, a force pulls back at a 135 direction, doing -17.8 J of work. what is the magnitude of the
Verdich [7]

The magnitude of the force is 18.6 N

Explanation:

The work done by a force on an object is given by

W=Fd cos \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement of the object

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and of the displacement

For the block in this problem, we have

W=-17.8 J is the work done

d = 1.35 m is the displacement of the block

\theta=135^{\circ} is the angle between the force and the displacement

Solving for F, we find the magnitude of the force:

F=\frac{W}{d cos \theta}=\frac{-17.8}{(1.35)(cos 135)}=18.6 N

inn [45]
<span>The metric system is the oldest name for the international system of units. The answer is <u>a. True. </u>SI unit or the international systems of units are based on seven basic units; the meter, kilogram, second, ampere, Kelvin, candela and mole. All of these basic units are divided into multiples by a power of ten. For example in meters, 1 meter is equal to: 1000 millimeter, 100 centimeter, 10 decimeter, 0.1 decameter, 0.01 hectometer, 0.001 kilometer and so on and so forth.</span>
